I used to use BitComet, but since that became too bloated I've used µTorrent. Seems OK, although I'm not a heavy user of torrents so I can't really make a detailed comparison.
Anyone on this forum who says that they don't perform a Jedi hand wave every time they approach an automatic door is lying.
So I was hastily typing an email apologizing for having to re-arrange an interview.
Outlook's spelling check picked up a typo, and gave an alternative, which I accepted without looking.
I ended up apologizing to the young lady in HR for the incontinence.

Sealab. Next month's theme. PLEASE.
I dunno, options would be pretty limited. You've got Roy Scheider, Stephanie Beacham, and a dolphin - but not much else.

Apparently only shown in the UK, Ireland and Canada.

The only part I saw the older standard resolution was at the beginning of the "You don't need to see his identification" scene, but that was in the release notes, so it's all good by me :)
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by "older standard resolution"; and what release notes are you referring to?
What are some of the differences between v2 and v3?
Apart from the subtitles being white as already mentioned, the video was updated in V3 (refinements in the stabilisation and some colour adjustments) and there are more audio options to choose from.
I like Cameron's Titanic and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
However, the 2012 TV miniseries has been pretty shit so far.
Not sure if this is true, or a belated April Fools' article:

For those of you are interested.... This was sent to me. tehe. =)
While this message is mildly amusing ("you will have trouble", etc.), my advice would be to drop it and leave them alone.

I seems to me that capturing analogue video is unfortunately becoming a dying art.
These days anyone and their gran can hook something up to a DVD recorder and hit the record button, and there is precious little info or comparisons on capture card specs.
Looking back, I now realise that these comments smacked of video snobbery to some extent. I've since shown (here) that you can get very good results from a DVD recorder.
Bumping this old thread because I agree with Moth3r and because I want to find a nice capture card.
I too bought a set top DVD recorder and recorded some stuff with it, and while the picture is not bad, it's horribly interlaced and just isn't as nice as I would like for it to be.
What exactly do you mean by "horribly interlaced"? If your source is interlaced, then your capture will be too - this is not a "horrible" thing (actually, I would say it is very desirable).
Can anyone recommend a nice capture card capable of old analog captures for a decent price?
I would like to be able to capture video from PS3 games as well, but it's not essential that whatever card I get does both.
I bought a fairly cheap Compro card a couple of years ago: it has composite, s-video and component inputs. I can't recommend it yet until I've tested it myself, though.

Why are you carrying out IVTC? Couldn't you just use force film in DGIndex?
What's your final intended format? If making AVCHD/BD then I think you'll have to add the black borders to the side to make the horizontal res up to 1280.
You can't use force film on titles like this, it was "scanned" in a telecine machine the same as 1993 star wars LD's were. This title was originally a laserdisc too.
Actually, you can use Force Film on the Star Wars DVDs, even though they originated from laserdisc masters.
Generally, I never use Force Film if I know the source is "hard telecine" as opposed to "soft telecine".
Absolutely - but do you know for sure that this is hard telecine (i.e. does the Ignore Pulldown option give you telecined output)? Force Film can deal with minor breaks in the pattern and keep sync.

TVS ??
Is that one of the old ITV regions??
Yes, TVS = Television South.
I still have my taped recording (it was used as the source for the mono mix restoration project), it was actually from Central but it doesn't contain any idents or ads anyway.

Let's not forget the "shelter built"/"shelter up" and "out of there"/"taste very good" differences. Surely a 70mm vs 35mm difference?
No, I believe these were '97 SE changes.
Marvin Gaye was shot dead by his father on 1st April 1984.
The title of this thread states Widescreen, however the eBay item is Fullscreen/Pan & Scan - either this thread or the eBay listing needs to be corrected.
And these sets normally go for around $20 - $40 opened (check completed listings). Do you really expect a "factory sealed" box to sell at $129?
Are you sure? In the thread here Laserman says the Faces LDs don't suffer from the "split saber" problems.
I think tsMuxeR can split and join on GOP boundaries (I-frames) without re-encoding.
If you want frame-accurate editing, I believe VideoReDo can do this, and only re-encodes the edit points, leaving the rest of the video untouched.

I don't know - I've never distributed any of my work. After doing my restorations, they have always just "somehow/magically" gotten out there.
You need to get yourself a firewall and strengthen your passwords; otherwise, further breaches of security are inevitable. ;-)
Confirmed the "duplicate header" error is an issue with Chrome.
Simple (serious, this time) workaround: delete the "www." from the start of the url.
Best upscaling/antialiasing results I've seen so far is whatever dark_jedi used on his Blu V2 sample. I compared the sample against the output from a nnedi3 upscale, and it was much better.
