Updated forum rules regarding fan edits and preservation efforts: a must-read for everyone.

OK, I want to make a preservation effort of a movie. Let's say I own a VHS copy of a movie that was released on DVD in about 2000, and it is out of print and going for about $300 (on amazon), and is probably a bootleg. Would it be legal for me to preserve it, or not?
The film was the 1960 broadcast of Mary Martin as Peter Pan, which was a live version produced for TV. Is this allowed, or not?
I apologize, my questions are probably getting very annoying by now.

Info: Anyone interested in a pan & scan transfer of the sw trilogy SE?

Hi, I know this might end up with a lot of criticism because:
1. This is the SE, and
2. This is the Pan & Scan version.
Now, I’m only doing this for one reason: personal preservation. My VHS copies of it are dying, ROTJ has a line in the center of the picture and ANH has a few audio dropouts where it goes from hi-fi to lower. Being the version I grew up with, of course, I want to save them on DVD. I am only asking this because I thought at least a few people would be interested in it.
Let me know if you are, because to my knowledge this transfer would be legal.

Hey guys,
I downloaded the MySpleen version of Episode II and got a problem when it reached 100% (presumably because that's what it says in the status). I lost the VIDEO_TS.ifo files and other important things, and because of that, DVDShrink won't load it.
Any way to fix this? I need DVDShrink because I don't have Nero and want to make it an ISO to burn with Roxio.

This is civil war period. Rebels against the spaceship, collides from a hidden base, won their first victory opposition evil outer space star cluster empire. In battle period, rebels against the spy to try to steal the secret plan to the empire final weapon, the death star, an armoured space station destroys an entire planet by the foot strength.

Oh god, there are some sites where I'd just die if they didn't know I was dead (yes, it is possible to die if you are dead. Shut up.) I mean, I know so many good people over the internet, and as a matter of fact some of my RL friends only talk to me on the net, so yeah. And then there's the matter of who to trust with your passwords.
So you can see I defininitely know where you're coming from.

I kinda like the new music.
Right now I'm leaning towards removing all the off-world celebrations.

I don't know about the choice to remove all of the otherworld celebration; the Cloud City and Coruscant (spell?) scenes from the original SE and onward would be worth keeping IMO. And the music in the victory celebration, I like the SE's version. I'm not talking about the difference from the OT to the SE, I'm talking SE to 04. It's a subtle difference, really. I'll try to get an audio snippet if I can from my Pan&Scan VHS.
Thank you very much for your quick response and answers DE.

DE, I have a few suggestions for Jedi (a bit early I know, but one can always hope that telling in advance will let people know that it's important.

1. Fix lightsaber inconsistency by adding a more visible core.
example of 04 DVD: http://www.dvdactive.com/images/editorial/screenshot/2006/8/sabers2004a.jpg
2. Old sarlaac pit, perhaps?
3. Lapti Nek re-insertion. May seem like an ADM rip-off decision, but it would definitely be worth it. And keep the extra Ula scene from the SE of her in the Rancor den if possible.
4. Take the audio of the victory celebration from the original SE's. That may sound strange to some, but it makes sense to me; in the 04 DVD, a chorus of children or something was added in the background at the Ewok celebration, and that always bugged me.
5. Remove the Naboo scene completely, only makes the celebration more tedious.
6. Bring back the eyebrows of Shaw, despite what inconsistency it may bring. Seems so odd and creepy to see the man without eyebrows.
7. Menus ripped from the GOUT. When I rented it I was impressed because it was simple compared to the 04 DVDs and was easy to navigate; plus you didn't have to go through all the trouble of watching the eyecatches any time you chose a new section
Hope that these suggestions strike your interest DE.

I am of the opinion that many SE changes are good, other than the screw-ups on the DVD, Jabba, and Jedi Rocks


I'm 14, and I hate every change made. Interesting...well, not really. Most kids like the changes. I'm just wierd.

Like I said, only a few; see, Han shooting first is where it's at. Yub Nub I still can't decide on. Red Vader lightsaber? Go for it! White hoth? What could be better! Old Sarlaac? Sweet!
However...
Extra CGI? Didn't ruin the movie, but some was unneeded. Cloud City enhanced? I like that a lot. New ROTJ celebration? Better in SE than '04.
See, that's where I stand.

Wow, after seeing how much YOU guys can write, I feel unintelligent.
