I believe there is a program called DVD Remake that allows you to do this. I can't say I've ever used it, and you may need to crack it if you don't want to pay for it, but I think it will do what you want it to.

There are a lot of cheapo versions of DVDs from Asia for sale on eBay. They're usually official issues and not bootlegs, but they're typically single-layer discs rather than the full dual-layer ones that get released in the US. A friend of mine got the entire series of both Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Voyager for around $100 total, Asian import editions.

Just because it's what most people refer to it as doesn't mean it's right or accurate.

Notice that Robert Rodriguez hasn't referred to his movies as "films" since he started shooting digital. I believe they've been referred to as a "flick", "digital file", "game" and "comic book" during the opening credits. I might be slightly wrong on the exact wording there, but my point still stands.

MeBeJedi is very familiar with Vegas, but he doesn't come 'round these parts much anymore because of certain boneheads who don't know how to behave themselves. You can reach him at mebejedi AT sbcglobal DOT net, he's been very helpful to me with Vegas and DVD-lab stuff on a number of occasions.

The programs are pretty self-explanatory. I haven't worked much with Encore, but in DVD-lab you can easily just drag and audio clip onto the menu you're working on and it will be set as the music for that menu. And linking menus to other menus is a snap as well.

They wouldn't have to be cleaned up to be put at that resolution. The resolution of 35mm film is greater than 1080. Most likely what would happen is it would be scanned at around 2000 lines of resolution and then scaled down for HD.

And if we're going to get really technical, AOTC and ROTS weren't filmed, because it was a filmless process. They were either "shot" or "taped".

I don't mean to come off like a know-it-all prick, I'm just a finicky film student.

Personally, I use DVD-lab Pro. It's got pretty much all the functionality of something like Adobe Encore, you just have to do a little more work to use it to its full potential. In both programs, though, you can create menus in Photoshop and import them to use as menus.

I just got this in the past week and took a look at it last night. I really cannot believe the results, it's amazing! Yeah, there were a few things that didn't quite pan out (i.e. Batgirl coming out of nowhere at all), but it didn't really hurt the flick for me because of how this played out. To me, it played out like an episode of a high-budget Batman TV show that never existed. Very nice work, greencapt.

If you could possibly get the whole of Anchorman theatrical cut, I'd really love to get that. I'm sure we could work out a way of digital sending.

digitalfreak, have you been able to compile a list of differences in 40-Year-Old yet? And would you like me to send you the telecine I have of the theatrical version, or will you be renting the fullscreen theatrical version for reference?

Good point. Have you gone through both versions to find the differences? As in, is the new stuff just additions, or it is also alterations of things in the theatrical cut? I have a pretty good-quality telecine bootleg of the theatrical release in, I believe, the proper aspect ratio. It would need some color-correction to match, but it could be a usable source.

IMDb list

There's only two versions of the flick (thus far): the theatrical cut (only available in fullscreen on DVD) and the unrated version (available fullscreen and widescreen). There may have yet been more deleted scenes (even though there were deleted scenes on both the feature disc and Wake Up) on an extra Best Buy bonus disc that my friend has, which I'll be investigating in about a week when I borrow it from him.

It pissed me off that they did the same thing with this that they did Anchorman. As far as I know, there isn't anything subtracted/altered from the theatrical cut in 40-Year-Old, but the line "I ate a big red candle" was substituted with something else in Anchorman and I sorely miss that line.

I'm sure you can hijack the sound output somewhere. And if nothing else, for the different footage, point a video camera at it...

Though it would be really nice if we could come up with the $300 to get these telecined.
