I wonder if Disney knows about this.

And I thought ebay was a wretched hive of scum and villainy!

Are they selling the Despecialized Edition?
Or are they selling second hand recordable DVDs/Blurays
that just happened to contain The Despecialized Edition?

Is that loophole really a thing? Either way they are shit burglars for profiting off of harmy.

The twilight princess hd release for wiiu is beautiful. It’s really gonna seem like a step down (on my big screen) when I move on to skyward sword which won’t be in HD. I will never understand why the wiiu won’t just render the wii games in HD. If Nintendo 64 emulators can do it (oot and mm look beautiful with the right texture pack, the limited polygons being the only things that look dated when you use hi res texture packs, but it can easily me interpreted as just having an anime look) and dolphin for pc can do it, I don’t see why official Nintendo hardware won’t do it. The original wiis graphics we’re really quite good most of the time, simply rendering it at a higher resolution would be enough for me, I wouldn’t need any further enhancements. But instead I have to deal with jaggies, pixelated backgrounds, and blocky models. All of which would be solved by simply rendering it at a higher resolution. Hell even super Nintendo emulators can do it now. Super Nintendo games look great rendered in hi res. Obviously not very fancy or graphically impressive, but they look crystal clear and not pixelated or blocky… Almost like a modern game that’s trying to look “retro”.

Yeah, bacon goes with like everything, or at least it should.

I don’t like bacon on pizza. But I DO like bacon on cheesy bread to goalong with pizza, so in a sense it still goes with pizza.

Unless it’s breakfast pizza. Then it goes. I don’t know how widespread Casey’s gas stations are, but they are everywhere here in southern Illinois and unlike most gas stations they have pretty good food (cooked in an actual kitchen in back not shipped to the gas station premade on a truck) and their breakfast pizza is to die for.

Yes you could.

I don’t know how true that is. I have health insurance but it’s garbage for mental health issues (ironic since the stress of my workplace is outrageous at times, sadly more from within that from the outside) even though nearly everyone that works here has had to go to a psych ward at some point in their lives. I can’t afford mental help. I’m still thousands in debt from the last time I tried and I make too much money to qualify for assistance, but not enough to actually afford it for myself. What a genius system lol.

Info Wanted: Is there 5.1 surround sound on the Despecialized Editions?
Time

Alot of the time you can also get pretty clean dialogue by isolating the center channel and then manually silencing the parts where nobody is speaking. The center channel is usually mostly dialogue and the music in it is usual subdued enough that you could have a quick fade in and out and fool the ear, especially if you’re dropping it into another mix

Yes it will because DD is more compressed than DTS to begin with so since it will have to be compressed again for the end product it makes sense to use the less compressed audio as the starting point, no?

I still haven’t fully decided if I’m even going with full 5.1 anyway. I might stick with dolby surround to make things simpler. Also That way recompresses will be less damaging as each channel will have more bitrate afforded it, and it will still upmix properly.

Well I’m having to start over again. I’ve been using womble to do the editing, but I’m going to have to leave it behind. I hate to do that because I love wombles extremely user friendly interface and I was able to make the seamless cuts I needed… Theoretically. The reason I’m giving up on it is because no matter what I do there is a very audible “pop” at cut points. It’s infuriating. Even if the fades and everything are set up to be seamless there’s still a big pop in the middle of the transition and while it doesn’t happen all the time when it does happen nothing I do will fix it. I hate it because I love wombles interface. So unless anybody knows a fix for that, I’m trying to get the hang of Adobe premiere. It’s a whole different world and I’m still trying to get the hang of it.

Yes but once you do, you will be a whole lot better off. I would also recommend you transcode all of your project footage to a non-lossey interm format. Will make you life a lot better. cc 2015 and 2017 support cineform . I highly recommend you start there. CC 2015 also supports DD multi channel audio support.

Well even womble supported 5.1 so I’m not worried about that. I will probably edit in 5.1 using six mono wavs sourced from the dts track, then export as 640 kbps DD ac3. (I think that would have less quality loss than using DD as a starting point.
