"MeBeJedi" You should learn to be a bit nicer.

Dude - we are being nice.

1st - You have broken protocol by offering your discs for sale not once but MORE that once now (all others have refrained)

2nd - You seem to have FAILED to read forum or it's rules - IF you do a search you can find links to virtually every thing you've posted.

THIS is why you've been catching flak...........

It's a wonder that Jay hasn't tossed you for selling your DVD's here AFTER Jay posted this.

The official rules as of 9-30-2004:

Preservation Forum Rules

  1. Do not offer bootlegs for sale.
  2. Do not advertise sites that offer bootlegs for sale. Do not link to such sites or direct users to them.
  3. Do not post direct links to downloads.


I have since STOPPED posting links to my free downloads and I've also stopped offering sets here on the forum.

Spider, in order for your stay to be smooth and fun you need to simply play by the rules and just keep ALL OF YOUR sets in ONE thread that and PLEASE read the forum rules and please search before you make a post.

NOW Children let's play nice.....

If everyone does this with their own versions or versions that they have aquired everyone would be able to get a copy of every version floating about out there.

I have been trying to download from myspleen but it is always busy and this way everyone could get hold of all the copies for just the price of a few stamps. Obviously someone would have to burn the discs first and send them out but if one person burns their set and someone else burns their own set everyone could get all of the versions available.

Does this make sense??

Nath -

WELCOME to the forums!!!

As for your idea....

This is done all the time here on the forums actually - The best way to get them is to either download them from myspleen.net (it really only takes about 2-4 days to download the files) or to get a low priced set from on of the other members - I upload the movies via bittorrent, others sell the discs for a few bucks and others do B+P (blanks plus postage) - THERE are a few members and many lurkers here that you can get the DVD's fromas they sell their sets on auction sites (besides eBay) - the prices may seem right BUT can get them FREE or WAY cheaper if you know whom to approach here on the boards - I would suggest that any new member PLEASE READ the forum and you'll find the needed info in a few minutes flat

*Homemade Lego movies

Just curious.


I jsut finished a new version of the Kenner Toy commercials (pre-1997) on DVDr - Put a menu on a "VHS" capture - The ads are FULL SCREEN this time and in color a bit fuzzy and sometimes there is a bit of noise in the audio but you can watch them

Are you joining the MPEGs together, or do you make a new MPEG?

I take all three MPEG2 files and edit it back to one file.


SO you still have not answered MeBeJedi - Did you have to re-encode the video or were they just joined??

- BTW, Spider thanks for the info - MAN, I wish I can get a set!

Sorry if this is off topic but I just watched the fantastic fan film collections entitled "Tremors in the Force."
If you havent seen them, and you like Fan Films, then you should pick up these two dvd's right away.

Anyway I was just hoping that someone might have already made covers for these fantastic collections?

If not, would anyone be up to the challenge? There are some very skilled people on this site and "Tremors 1+2" really deserve the full cover treatment.



Hey there!

I had a cover set for my TREMORS collection but I've lost the files somehow!!!

I'm planning on re-doing the covers and I also hope to have TREMORS three done by the years end!

1st. SO you're saying that your set MAY or MAY NOT look good based on the brand of DVD player chosen for the playback?

2nd. Weird, I've never heard of a DVD that had playback like that before - I mean I've heard of some DVD's coming with the "THX Optimizer that is used to calibrate the performance of your home theater system" - BUT it is NOT required to veiw the DVD.

3rd. WHO has actually tooled around in their DVD players menus to adjust for color before and will this calibrationneed to be done EVERY time I want to watch the DVD's?? (will I not have to "revert" the colors to watch every other DVD?)

That being stated...

Would this not then suggest that the TRIED and TRUE method of PC based capturing is still FAR superior to SET-TOP boxes?

So now based on your update will you now include a "SPIDER Optimizer" DVD with that $20 charge?

- Listen I really do want this set for my collection and I'd to the 20 if you include a "SPIDER Optimizer" DVD so I can watch your set without having to TUNE my DVD player

Hey there Spider.....


I have to ask you a few technigcal questions about your set that have been burning me up.

#1 - What recoding mode did you select when your recorded this to your Panasonic DMR-E80 - Did you use the "FR" setting?

#2 - Can you please use a program based DVD player like say.. "Bitrate Viewer" and give us the lowdown on the set?

Here's so info on SPIDERS Panasonic DMR-E80 - From that one guy 's website -

The E80 offers five recording modes (or speeds, to use VCR terminology): XP, SP, LP, EP, and FR. XP is the highest quality, using an entire 4.7GB DVD-R or DVD-RAM for a single hour. SP is the default recording speed, and can fit two hours onto a DVD-R (or around 35 hours onto the hard drive); this is directly comparable to SP mode on VHS (two hours on a 120-minute tape) as far as capacity is concerned, and is probably the best speed to use for general purpose work. LP and EP are also comparable to their VHS counterparts as far as recording time is concerned -- four hours on a disc for LP, and six hours for EP. FR is something completely different from the traditional "VHS" recording mindset. It allows the user to specify the duration of the program to be recorded (anywhere from one to six hours on a disc) in one-minute increments, and the E80 optimizes the compression for that duration. When transferring material from the hard drive to a DVD-R, it is best to use either XP, SP, or FR mode; which to use will depend on the specific material being saved. LP and EP might be useful for time-shifting programs you are not interested in preserving. For recording broadcast TV or VHS video, XP offers no visible benefits over SP on my 27" Mitsubishi. There is visible artifacting when switching from SP to LP, and EP just magnifies the problem. I'm sure there are some cases where LP or EP might be valuable (LP might be OK for some time shifting, especially of older or poorer quality programs that may look a bit drab to begin with), but for the vast majority of what I plan to do I'll be using SP.
