Just to keep you all updated, I've finished the video editing, and now just need to
work through cleaning up the audio. As it stands, my version comes in about 40 or
so seconds longer than the german 'Ultimate Final Cut' DVD. Below you can see the
(probably) finished DVD cover I designed.

Just to keep you all posted

The DOTD composite edit is coming along, originally i was editing the 29.97fps interlaced footage although i realise now that wasn't the best option as i would end up with a video stream running at 29.97 full frames per second with the interlacing encoded into each picture frame. about a week ago i decided to start again but run the DGindex project files through the TMPGEnc IVTC and re-save it as a tpr project file (using VFAPI again to produce the fake AVI files) so again there is only one re-code of the mpeg file when exporting it from premiere. so i now i am editing a progressive source running at 23.976fps, then i'll output it as 23.976fps progressive and use flags in the MPEG stream to get the player/software to perform the pulldown on playback, resulting in a much better quality picture on a TV and progressive playback where possible, and im now back up to 45mins.

For anyone who is interested, I'm attempting a DOTD composite edit using the
DOTD ultimate box set. I started on friday night and am now about 38mins in.
I'm frameserving the original DVD MPEG's to premiere, then exporting that back to
MPEG using CCE-SP2 so there is only one re-encoding which should keep any
degredation in quality from the original DVD's to a minimum. I'm keeping it
16:9 anamorphic widescreen as per the original DVD's with one Dolby Digital 2.0
audio track. if/when it's relased it'll be as a DL DVD (to keep the quality as
high as possible) on bittorrent.

I remember reading somewhere that the german composite has shots found in
no other version of dawn, apart from the argento, extended & theatrical
cuts + document of the dead, can anyone else suggest where else i might look
for source footage?

Has anyone here got the dutch filmworks 2 disc DVD (with the argento & extended
versions)? I really liked the DVD menu look on that & wanted to use the same look
for my composite edit DVD menu but i only have the 3 DVD ultimate box set. if anyone
has & can capture pictures of the main menus & such from both DVDs and e-mail them
to me as BMP files, please PM me.
