Yes, the JACKET_P folder goes on the root of the disc just like VIDEO_TS. It holds the dvd artwork that some players are able to display.

Depends on what shape the video is in. If it needs sharpening or denoising, I'll do that. Other than that I'll be doing color correction and spot removal.

For ANH, most likely I'll be doing two angles for the crawl, where one is the "A New Hope" crawl and the other is the original. Sabers will be redone also. What I'd really like to do is one of those seamless branching things where you can choose to view the film with or without my video enhancements. We'll see how that goes.

You might take a look around and find the other people who are already working on this.

..or just wait for them to post in here.

Actually, Rikter said that in one of his posts a page back. Looks like he's deleted those posts now, but I guess whoever posted that put an extra quote tag with your name in it.

At this point I've abandoned my own capture and I'm going to be working on Laserman's "X0" capture. As soon as I get the files from him I'll get to work on it. But until then, I'm concentrating on the DVD menus...

But you have to go by the rules laid down by the administration. And in this case the only thing I see wrong is people getting upset over something that shouldn't be in this thread.

That's enough guys. Get back on topic.

I think the problem comes in where people think I'm going insane and flame is shooting out of my eyesockets because I used a cussword. Which isn't so. I guarantee almost everyone here, in the course of their normal day, cusses at least 10 times.

Well I don't do that. No, really, I don't. But the difference is I know that's how most people are and I'm used to it. The bottom line is that Jay doesn't have a problem with it for the most part and I'm not going to do anything about it except in extreme cases.

DanielB the only reason these threads get into these off topic discussions is because of your influence. Either stick to the topic at hand or don't post at all. Stop flooding every thread you go into with your crap theories.

He's right. You guys don't need to be babysat. For the most part we have some great discussions here. At times things might get out of hand and that's where I come in. The only thing that really annoys me is when a thread gets way off topic. Let's not let that happen in here.

Bizzle brings up some great points, and I think they deserve to be addressed.

The ROM flag was what I was referring to. That and the layer break are the most vital parts to a successful burn as far as I know.

JW, I have yet to capture your SE trailers. Once I do that and burn them to disc, I'll send everything your way.

When done correctly, they should work on most players.

In my mind, DL is the only option. Like Ben said, the prices of DL media are going down and to me it doesn't make sense to not use them.

I've been planning to do that all along, I guess I just haven't said anything about it.

Here's a new clip, going off of Bizzle's idea:

Logo w/ starburst title (4MB, requires XviD codec)

I adjusted the video this time around to the proper aspect ratio. Made a few tweaks as well. Also the video is a little bigger so you can see more of the details.

To me, the numerals will always be associated with the SE versions of the films. So I will not be using them on my DVDs.

Looks to me like the original Alien DVD logo is the one to go with. I'll probably use it on my own DVD.

Skyman posted screenshots from the bonus disc of the LFL logo and the "A long time ago" here. No Fox logo though. I don't think it was on there.

Thanks!

Make it initially WAY more intense, to where it very briefly whites out the whole screen--and as the white recedes back into space, have the "Empire Strikes Back" fade in, (not wipe in) in direct response to the light fading back behind the Star Wars logo. So the starburst basically looks like it's leaving the title behind in it's wake.

I really like this idea. I'm going to try it out.

My shots 11-15 seem to have gone, but not to worry, I'll have all shots updated pretty soon.

Really? I'll look into it and see what happened. They may have gotten lost in the server switch.

If you look at the source code of my page, there's a handy javascript function that preloads the images. It's pretty easy to do.

The new clip is up! (6.5MB, requires XviD codec)

Again, not the best quality clip, but it gets the job done. The sound effects might seem a little cheesy, but I'll let you guys decide that for yourselves. This is still a work in progress as well. I'm entertaining the thought of adding a ship fly-by that leaves the episode title in it's wake instead of the current wipe-in method. What do you guys think?

Wow, so much discussion here since I left for the evening. It's nice to see this place alive and kicking again for a change.

Bizz, I'd really like to hear these soundtracks you mentioned. What I plan on putting on my own discs is a 5.1 track, isolated score, commentary, and possibly a mono track. If you want to help out with any of those, I'd more than welcome your assistance. Shoot me a pm sometime.

Zion - I bet yours will look a bit SWEETER! (gotta one up em' all!)

Heh, well let's just say you run the risk of soiling your pants once you see mine.

That reminds me, I better get that new clip uploaded....

My first thought on this DVD is that whoever made these borrowed features from other bootlegs, including the Isomix score and put them together with some new menus. I'm not saying this is the case, just that it's possible. I'm sure someone like Rik would be able to determine if this is in fact an original transfer.

Wow, those features look eerily similar to what my own dvd's will have. Awesome menus too. They give me some great ideas.

Any idea where this set came from or who made it?

The screenshots site is back up. Sorry again for the downtime. My site has suddenly become ubber popular because of my Episode III image archive and I had to relocate to another web host. I've got more than twice the bandwidth of my old host, so this shouldn't happen again.

Moth3r, I'm really liking the way your page is set up. I think I'm going to redo mine to something similar. I love that Doom9 example as well. If only I could figure out how they do that zooming....

[From my previous post...]
Well, one thing's for sure - a lot of you are putting my raw captures to shame. Those Elite players are amazing.

You're absolutely right, the bottom one looks the best of the three, even though it's MPEG2. Hauppage cards have always been some of the best available, I just never looked at them because they only do MPEG captures. The middle one looks the closest to mine, and that makes sense since my cards are the newer generation of the BT8*8's.

Zion, from what I understand there is essentially no difference between my CLD-79 and your CLD-D704. I could be wrong but I beleive the 79 is just a D704 in elite badging.

You may be right, but the difference with my 704 is that is has severe color smearing which prevented me from ever getting a good solid capture out of it. None of my screencaps were off of that machine.
