I think Detroit will suprise a lot of people this year. I see them making the playoffs while either the Pack or Vikes get snubbed. The Lions made a lot of good moves this offseason, including signing my man Kenoy Kennedy from the Broncos.

I'm a Bronco fan born and raised. I can't wait to see how good our D will be this year. They'll be underrated because of what happened last year against Indy and the handful of unproven players starting this year like Gerard Warren, Courtney Brown, and Nick Fergussen.

I think the other teams that might suprise people this year will be the Arizona Cardinals and the Bengals. Both have a lot of talent and it may be the year for both teams to make legitamate playoff campaigns.

Lol, hi Ousley. It's Grimby.

My advice to you, JediKev, if you're reading this: take note what the others are saying about you and adjust yourself accordingly. You really do have the ability to be a valued member of this community if you want to be.

Yes it is, and of course we're going to hang on to the original capture files after we're done.

I'm confused. Why wouldn't the soundtrack have anything to do with producing the best final product? aren't you doing both at the same time or are you JUST working with video?

Sorry for the confusion. What I mean is that we're not concentrating on the audio, or the menus or the special features or the subtitles right now. We're concentrating on cleaning up the video first and foremost. Everything else will come later.

Capturing with an HD card won't make it look any better. There are still only 277 (usable) lines of resolution from the LD, no matter what resolution you choose to capture at.

Upscaling would be a possibility, but it's unlikely that it will look any better on an HD screen. We'll see though. I managed to upscale and make that turd of a ROTS xvid look decent, maybe we can do the same thing with the X0.

Things have been pretty slow-going the past few weeks. Things have come up on our end that had temporarily pushed the project off our priority list. The biggest setback for me was when my secondary HD crapped out and I lost all my X0 files. I had to send another HD to MeBe to get the files back, so I'll have them again soon.

In the mean time, we've been going frame by painstaking frame through the capture and documenting what needs to be done (help us out and contribute to the "fixes and glitches" thread if you've got any info to share). We've also been tinkering off and on with cleaning up the video and should have some sample stuff to show in the near future.

The "when will this be out" question gets asked a lot, so I think I'll throw up some sort of FAQ on the web site. The answer right now is we don't know. It will be ready when it's ready. But we're 4 guys with full-time jobs, so it's not like we have hours and hours to work on this thing every day.

Sitting here drinking my blue milk and commenting to myself on the gheyness of the concept of "proper forum etiquette," I remember that as a mod I shouldn't post about such things. (oops)


I did some research a while back on this "Engrish" ROTS bootleg. All I could really find was that it was an Asian bootleg and it may have never found its way online. I did, however, try searching for downloadable Chinese subtitles that I could translate back into English. I didn't put much effort in though and something else came up, so all I got was a set of Japanese subs that I have yet to play around with. Anyone else have any experience with subs and/or know where to find this bootleg? At the very least, this would be a great addition to a future ROTS DVD edit.

What do you use to master your DVD's?

I use Sonic Scenarist. It was the first "real" authoring program I messed with and I've been able to do pretty much anything I want with it. Of course there's a bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it and understand the structure of a DVD, it's easy to use. I've heard great things about other authoring programs out there, like DVD Lab Pro and Maestro, but I've never tried them myself.

I wouldn't pin it down on temporal filters just yet. I have had similar results to these straight from a raw capture. The only explanation I had was the settings used on my capture program, though the specifics elude me at the moment. I have a few raw capture files on my HD, all done the same day, that have this same ghosting effect.

It's hard to say what the real cause of this is. There's only one person who knows for sure...

BUP files are "back-up files" of IFOs. DVD players will use BUP files if the IFOs are not readable. Try this:

- Move vts_01_0.bup to another folder for safe keeping if needed again.
- Make a copy of vts_01_0.ifo and rename the copy vts_01_0.bup.
- Attempt burning again.

If it still doesn't play, move the original vts_01_0.bup back and do the opposite -- move vts_01_0.ifo out and copy vts_01_0.bup, renaming it vts_01_0.ifo.

Hope that makes sense.
