Topic: Idea: Uploading preservation projects to Google Video

Someone uploaded all four versions of the Thief and the Cobbler to Google Video. So is it possible that I could do the same?

I’ll upload all versions of Star Wars from the past to the present, explaining their changes. And in the description, I’ll post a disclaimer saying that it is not for profit or personal gain, it is strictly for educational viewing, as it is important to learn of the changes to a film. I’ll also put that the uploader was Lucasfilm Ltd., as the guy who uploaded the Thief put Miramax Family Films, the Completion Bond Company, etc.

I’d really like to do this, but I just don’t want to get in any trouble. Will it be all right if I do it? Or not?

Well then that's it.

1. The SWF is taking WAY too much memory on my system.
2. I can't find ANY decompressors.
3. The mods don't want it on here.
4. The WMV looks better anyway.

So I'll just convert everything to WMV and keep it for myself.

Think of a Flash game. Now try watching a movie like that. That's what SWF is.

Whenever you watch something on YouTube, that's SWF format.

Well here's an ANH Trailer I converted to SWF:

That GeoVid Logo doesn't get in the way in the SW Transfer.

Heh. This will be a WHOLE LOT easier. All I have to do is sit around and eat chips while my computer does all the work! It will only take nine days to finish the whole thing!

Well I'll try it first. Just so you know, I don't plan to make any money off of this. This is just for preservation, and I'm going to convert all of them so people can see all the changes between the films without having to go through all that effort and confusion.

But if the mods delete the link, I apologize for any inconvience, and I'll just convert the films for myself, because my old desktop still can't read any video files except flash.

All right, SW has finished converting to WMV. Now it's converting to SWF, which will take about 5 hours. It's decent quality, and the GeoVid Demo Logo is unobtrusive.

So that's 1 movie per day...

EDIT:
Once I finish uploading, I plan to post the link on this site. Is that all right with the mods? Because I really don't want to get banned again...

Both. But that has nothing to do with this.

Star Wars 1 has finished converting to AVI. It's being converted to SWF now...

EDIT:
Actually, I'll convert from DVD to WMV to SWF. That way it will be quicker, easier, and smaller.

I was thinking of converting Star Wars movies to SWF. That way, they’re not so large in size, and can play on anyone’s computer if they don’t have video codecs. I got a new laptop and am right now converting the Original Star Wars to AVI format, which I’ll then convert to SWF.

Here’s what I plan on doing:

The EditDroid Trilogy
The 2004 Trilogy
The Prequel Trilogy

I’m uploading them to MyDataBus, but for preservation efforts, where can I put them anywhere else?

EDIT:
I couldn’t find a free SWF converter. The converter I’m using puts the company logo in the corner of every SWF I save. It’s unobtrusive in 2.35 Widescreen, and some people here could make it anamorphic…

Hey Stinky, you're lucky I'm 18 and have no girl restrictions and am attracted by that picture, because if I were a bit younger, I would have cried and swore at you. But I won't.

Just so you know, you guys severely hindered my cousin's likeness of this forum and his taste for the OOT because of this. True, all he need to do was avoid the beutiful women thread, but you guys (especially ricarlette) just upset him. I sent him to Outer Rin Sieges to chill out for a while, but if he comes back, try to be a bit easier on him, all right?

I made this myself. If you're having trouble beating DOOM 3 because of its difficulty level, I tweaked the game to make monsters weaker, give you more health and ammo, and overall make the game a whole lot easier. I beat the game with it and it works. Try it now!

I helped him beat it. And yes, I think he can do a little Star Wars project of his own, not as hard as Paint Wars was.

All right, I'll stay with Star Wars.

After all, DOOM walked the same path. It recieved a Special Edition with a fourth episode that was much more difficult than the entire game and tied it in with DOOM 2's storyline, when the original game was standalone. And you can't get the Original version officially anymore, except for the release on XBOX Live, you must download a fan-made patch for it. So I like the Original DOOM and like to think of it as standalone, nothing else after it.

And I'll do the same with Star Wars. Thank you for clearing that up for me.

I love Star Wars, and right now the Original Theatrical Version is my favorite movie of all time. But what George Lucas said at his MTV interview, about people wanting the SE or the OOT and it all turning out in the end, really upset me. Even worse than the actual movies. So much, that I might have to pick a new favorite movie of all time, since Lucas is trying to keep me from watching this one.

The #1 Runner-up:
The Thief and the Cobbler

I fell in love with this movie from the start. There is NOTHING offensive in it, so that makes it a breather for me. And now I'm ready to make it my favorite movie of all time. I have and love all 5 versions of the film, but am deciding wheteher to make the Workprint or the Recobbled Cut my favorite of them all.

So should I stick with Star Wars, or move on to the Thief? Because I'd rather help a good guy get his original vision out, instead of fighting a bad guy for his unoriginal vision...
