I'm sorry but this doesn't make an attractive disk to me.

So what I have done is to search the web for exactly the same pictures used on your labels, resized and scaled the pictures to match your original labels, and cut out the parts that have your title in and made full face labels.

I apologise again but I hate disk labels that have that white circle in the middle, just so the person printing the label can save a bit of ink, plus which might I add the white circle is usually off centre.

Anyhow here are the before and after disks

because it's not nice to donate things because you hate them, it would be better to buy a new set and donate it to charity.


Who said anything about hating them? I'll donate the extra 2004 discs because I already have them. Man, I'm so sick of this thing, it's made everyone so moody and defensive...

Sure it's a pain in the ass, and the songs have funky four-letter names, but at least it works.


I highly recommend you avoid doing this at all costs. If you want to find out what each song is, you have to manually listen to it and then edit the IDE tag. It's ridiculous. I made this mistake before I discovered the program I suggested to you.

Not only that, but doing it your way will even rearrange albums...it's frustrating. For example, I found 'Fake Plastic Trees' from Radiohead's The Bends, in the folder for OK Computer...then had to find which folder was the Bends and move it over...long story short, I got so pissed off that I just re-ripped everything...goodbye 18 hours!

The best program out there to do this is called Xplay - it's by the MediaFour company.

http://www.mediafour.com/products/xplay/

I've used other programs, and this one lets you organize your media rather than assigning it he random data number given to the file when you dump it on your iPod. It's fast, and easy, but expensive. So...check your PM's in about 10 minutes, Nanner

They are LD transfers.


They used the same master tapes which they used to produce the LD's. That does not make them LD transfers. It makes them "Tapes That Were Used To Make LD's" transfers.

You make it sound like they popped the old laserdiscs into a player and encoded them to DVD.

Now that depends what ye mean by "free," me hearty!

The program ye be seeking is WinAVI Video Convertor 7.6, which readily be accepting all major video formats. 'Tis easy to use, even fer scurvy dogs like me.

'Tis best acquired at the bottom of the ocean, near where the Demon(oid) lives. She took me a grand total of 5 minutes to gets.

Now, if ye be having troubles with it, let me know and I can be hooking ye up with said treasure.

Saavy?

OK...this is very dangerous to say here, I know...but I like the way the originals look.

Here's the thing.

I like film grain.
I like dirt & scratches.
I like that they look the way, at least, I remember them.

I know the whole story of how these came about, and how pissed people are. I understand. But for me, when it comes down to it, watching these films isn't about the latest technology in film clean-up, or colour correction, or anything like that...

Call me stupid (and I know someone will) but if the DVD's look like those screenshots then I'll be satisfied.

Sorry. I hate that I have to apologize for liking them in the midst of all of you, but I'm going to buy them based on those screenshots - a decision I'd been holding off on until I had more information...

Nosferatu, A Symphony Of Horror (The Super Castlevania IV Score) - COMPLETED/UPLOADED!

Interesting idea. Nosferatu? Check. Castlevania? Check...but I'm wondering, why not use the 'Symphony Of The Night' score, which is generally regarded as one of the best game soundtracks ever?

Incidentally, this film has been re-scored 12 times since Hans Erdmann's original score - so I think your idea fits within this tradition.

At the Toronto Internation Film Festival in 2000, I saw a pristine print of Nosferatu with a live symphony orchestra playing Erdmann's score. You haven't seen the film until you've seen it this way - it was incredible.

Good luck with your project, I shall be eagerly following.

Depends when "the day" is that we're talking about. In the early days of the Hollywood studio system, mid-30's up to, let's say the early 70's, most Producers would work closely with the Director to achieve mutual goals. Think Spielberg and Marshall or Kennedy - that kind of a relationship.

Somewhere around the early 70's, Producing became less about the art and more about the business and the Studio making money. Producers became increasingly budget concious to increase the profit margin. The old style Producer was dying, to be replaced by people like Robert Evans who craved the celebrity and notoriety over serious craft or art and later folks like Bruckheimer. That's not to say they weren't effective in their own right, but most Producers at this stage were hired by studios for their business acumen, as opposed to artistic integrity.

Everyone recognizes the name David O. Selznick as the quintessential old school Hollywood Producer - so much so that many credit him with the creation of Gone With The Wind or King Kong. Quick, without checking IMDB, who directed GWTW (name all three).

Now, quick - who produced Brokeback Mountain?

See my point?

Criticism is the key to improving. I'm still learning, but I'm miles ahead of where I was a year ago. Partially this is do the Coov making me rethink the way I design covers, and in large part due to criticism which, when constructive, is a great motivator.

Take Casualimp's new set, for instance. No one seemed too jazzed about them when he came up with the idea, but after encorporating many suggestions made by the members here, he made some great looking covers which were neat, clean and very classy.
