I found myself hoping that the Purist version kept the scene in its original order.
The Purist Edition does have Ben's hut scene dialogue in the original order (according to the wiki).
He sent me a request by PM asking for both his accounts to be banned. He also said he was going to apologise to Frink and Leonardo, and asked that I didn't make his other account name public.

So, Moth3r knows who it is, but won't tell us and won't ban him for jumping into threads and literally calling people's mom's whores?
I have a hunch he has more than two accounts. Once we've identified them all, he gets to choose which account he keeps.
I've just worked out who Betty belongs to (it's not CMG, nor is it ABC). I must admit I was surprised when I made the connection. His other account has only made 4 posts, which I thought were genuine, but now I'm not so sure.
Wondering if this guy has any other aliases...
Back in 1977, Dolby Stereo was considered a "gimmick" (one of the reasons that so much effort was put into the mono mix). If you listen to the theatrical Dolby mix now - the star destroyer overhead, the blaster bolt bouncing around the trash compactor - you can hear that Burtt was having fun playing with his brand new (expensive) toy.
Star Wars wasn't the first Dolby Stereo film, but it was the one that showed what the technology could really do. This original experience is an important event in movie history, and should be preserved as such - it should not be brought up to date with CG additions and retro-added 3D effects.
You also missed this one.
Although there's not much point in ignoring either of his two previous accounts, he can no longer use them as he has effectively banned himself. Twice.

Yeesh, the AVIs I made from Gonzo 7 years ago are still floating around?
If by "floating around" you mean "filed in Mallwalker's archive", then yes. (Makes you wonder just how many GBs of data he has floating around, and where he puts it all.)
I agree with Dr M - the simplest AviSynth method would be to down-res, then resize back up to the desired resolution, then use an effects filter to add noise/grain.
Or, you could record the DVD on to VHS (probably have to defeat Macrovision in the process) and then recapture. Although it's probably not worth the additional work involved to get the authentic analogue video effect.
Imrahil - just noticed your avatar. Very clever!
As I've said before, whenever I read a Psycho Davy post, I hear Forrest Gump.
Update: FanFiltration has also recently managed to accomplish this task, details in this thread:
Well done, it's great that there is now another person who has had success with recording AC3 audio off laserdisc. I'll post a link in the other recent thread on this subject.
Just curious, but why did you decide to re-encode to DTS, instead of using the original untouched AC3 stream?
Yes, I'm fairly sure that the ITV broadcast had yellow subtitles. Obviously not theatrical, because they had been reformatted to fit a pan & scanned screen.
So you didn't touch the audio in the end? I don't blame you - slowing down the "film" clips to play at the correct speed while keeping the "video" sections at the original pitch would have been a daunting task to take on.
I'm just wondering what JediTray's response is going to be when he sees that... ;-)
A gay man was rushed to hospital earlier today, after a bizarre sex game left him with several toy horses lodged up his arse.
Doctors have described his condition as stable.

Silly question perhaps but does this require a BD blank to burn? (and if so, what brands are recommended)?
(just FYI, I don't own Bluray yet)
WTF are you talking about and why did you bump a 3-year-old thread?
Use 24-bit FLAC. Smaller file (therefore faster download), but quality is identical to 24-bit WAV.

Hey, what happened to kittu's post? I haven't seen them just go *poof* like that before.
Spam posts are deleted and spam accounts banned.
The current trend with spammers is to copy and paste text related to the thread topic from Yahoo! Answers, thus giving the impression that it's a real forum post. (That particular post came from here.)
ImgBurn -> Verify Disc
Slipstream was discussed in this thread. Apparently all official DVDs are pan & scan, the only widescreen release is on a Japanese laserdisc.

With all do respect Chewtobacca, this is 2010
You should as well as most people on this board should have a TV/monitor that will accept/do 1:1 pixel mapping
1:1 pixel mapping is only relevant when playing 1080p content on a display with a native resolution of 1920x1080.
DVD resolution of 720x480, when upscaled correctly, ends up being ~1964x1080. A band of twenty or so pixels on either side of the upscaled image should therefore not be visible on a 1920x1080 display.
I am aware that many devices upscale incorrectly (720 -> 1920); in these cases it's better to turn 1:1 pixel mapping off and have some overscan.
Methods for "graining up" the subtitles were discussed in msycamore's subtitle thread from this post onwards.
Darth Editous said:
Have you considered blurring the subtitles, very slightly? I'd go so far as to say it would be mandatory for viewing on a CRT, to eliminate interlace flicker, but even on a flat TV it mgiht stop it looking quite so "stamped on".

I also thought the subs looked unnaturally "clean". My idea, as I explained a while ago in another thread, was to overlay a layer of grain over the text.
Is this some kind of bust?
Yes, ma'am, it's very impressive.
