Thanks so much for releasing this. I downloaded the posting from Usenet. Could someone please PM me the password for that? Thank you very much!

Unfortunately, I think that 101_103 is completely correct. It is interesting that Farscape has had a bluray release, but Babylon 5 probably never will. That is why I am slowly converting my laserdiscs (and then VHS for the missing episodes) to DVD. I prefer to watch B5 in its original aspect ratio.

Could someone also tell me how to go about getting the password for the usenet post? Thank you and I really look forward to seeing all the hard work that was put into it. It is much appreciated!

That FRWL cover looks great. Could you upload your Dr. No cover again (to savefile.com)? I could never save the rapidshare linked one, so I missed out on it. Thanks!

Thanks to everyone for sharing your ideas about different possible cuts for Superman II. When looking at the "Super-kiss", I always thought that Superman created some sort of Kryptonian memory eraser drug that he put on his lips (like lip balm or lipstick) and then kissed Lois to make her forget. No super-kiss powers used at all, just some Kryptonian science.

It looks like we may finally get Season 2 released on DVD in April of 2007 (Region 1). Will you be using that as a source for some of your TV footage?

It looks like it might be time for one of us to dig out that old Superman The Movie laserdisc and capture the original sound mix. I think I still have a copy of it somewhere in storage.

I would see this project more as a preservation than a fan edit. I've turned my Davison era Who episodes into DVDs (from the store bought VHS tapes that I own), but those are a preservation effort for myself and I'll gladly replace them with official DVDs when they are released. I still have to hunt down a few more of those Davison stories before my preservation efforts are complete. Off to eBay I go!

If some of you are just adding the LPCM wav file to the original DVD video that you've ripped from the retail DVDs, you may be running into a problem of having a bitrate that is bigger than the DVD spec allows. If I'm not mistaken, the DVD specification says that the maximum bitrate of a video/audio stream must not be bigger than 10.08 Mbps (10080 kbps). So, if you just add the LPCM wav file to the high bitrate video, your DVD player (on the computer or attached to your TV) may stutter and skip around when the bitrate gets too high. I'm not sure, but this might also cause problems when checking how well the audio synchs up with the video.

I synched up the new dolby stereo mix to the video and I had to add a 1 second delay to it just as I had to do with the definitive collection pcm audio. Thanks to the hard work of Belbucus and others, I hope to have the definitive collection audio, 35mm audio, the 1985 remix, the mono mix and the definitive collection commentary track audio (taken from the Gonzo set with a 1.5 second delay added) all synced up to the anamorphic video I've encoded. This will give me my own "ultimate edition" of Star Wars.

Just to corroborate these two posts; from a quick look at the waveforms I estimated the delay to be about 1.020s.

I didn't think you could specifiy a delay for PCM audio in DVDLab Pro, but it has been a while since I used it.

I added a 1 second delay to the PCM audio in Adobe Premiere Pro and then exported it as a new wav file before importing it into DVDLab Pro.

The only issue that I ran into was that I had to add a 1 second delay to Belbucus' DC PCM soundtrack in order to sync it up when reauthoring the movie with DVDLab Pro. Thanks for the file Belbucus! It sounds great on my sound system.

Well, I must be the unlucky one then. I have tried two different computers, connected to the internet with and without my router and still I get hash fail after hash fail after hash fail... all on the same part (piece 66 of vts_01_1.vob). If only I could connect to the torrent and just download from seeds instead of seeds and peers. That would have to work, wouldn't it?

Hmmmm... Is there any way someone who completed this could make a private torrent that I could try to connect to and see if I could get the last 2 megabytes I need?

Update: I restarted the torrent yet again and let it run for 15 hours. My results: 207 hash fails and still stuck at 99.9%. I think I might just have to give up on this and delete the files because it looks like it will never complete. I can't think of anything else to try...

There are 105 seeders and I've stopped and restarted the torrent over 40 times and used different bittorrent clients and still keep getting hash failures on that last 2 megabyte chunk. It's getting really annoying at this point.

I don't know what the problem is on my end, but I've had the torrent of this stuck at 99.9% for over 24 hours now. It keeps downloading at anywhere from 2 to 10 KB/s, but it just never finishes. I can watch it count down to about 2 seconds left and then it jumps back to 6 minutes left and keeps on downloading. This just keeps happening over and over and over... Well... You get the picture. Does anyone have an idea how I could solve this problem? I'm looking forward to checking the concert out once the download finishes.

I've managed to get the forced film with dgindex to work, but when I encode the video with CCE SP2, I end up with ghosting or stuttering frames... I'm not quite sure if I've got the settings right in CCE, but I set the framerate to 23.97 ( no rate conversion), aspect ratio 16:9, pulldown of 2:3 (I also tried 3:2). I did not set progressive or zigzag under Picture Quality. Thanks for the help so far, but does someone know what I might be doing wrong inside of CCE SP2?

Like torque91, I have what looks like interlacing problems. I can see a dark bar of them on the left side of my video as well as whenever something moves. I tried using forced film mode in dgindex, but then I end up with sped up video. Can anyone give me a hint on what to try? Thanks!

dark_jedi, you do use par2 files to fix corrupt rar files. If you use quickpar (available at http://www.quickpar.org.uk/Download.htm), you can see which rar files are broken. If any need to be fixed, you can download some of the par files that were posted with the original files to fix them. You need to download enough par files to fix the missing chunks, but quickpar will tell you when you have enough. You run quickpar again to check if you have enough and it will fix the files.
