Am I right in thinking the Region 1 disc has a 5.1 audio track?

Are there any obvious differences in picture between this disc and your previous HDTV -> DVD conversion?

 

Yes it has 5.1,and I am going to watch it in a few minutes actually,but when I ripped it to my PC and grabbed some screens,it looks pretty damn good.

Hang on a sec and I will post the screens here.

dark_jedi, I meant the film itself.  I've only checked WM and Target, haven't had a chance to check BestBuy or FYE yet.  Are they carrying it?

 

I actually could NOT find this any of my local stores,none of them,so I am glad I had it ordered from Amazon,I checked the walmarts,K-marts,Shopko's,Best Buy,Target,and others,NONE had it.

So good luck.

Anyone have a Bluray drive in there PC?
Time

I am very much interested in grabbing a few screen grabs of the movie Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber of Fleet Street,I do not have any way of getting this myself,I do not have a Bluray drive on my PC.

But I really would love to get a few full res(1920x1080) screen grabs of Sweeney holding his arm out stretched with the razor in his hand,the scene is in the begining when MS Lovitt takes him upstairs and gets his razors from under the floor board,he then sings the song about his friends(the razors)the scrren grabs I want are at the end of that song.

I really hope someone here has the capabilites to get some of these grabs for me.

Thanks

this is a similar mage but I need alot higher quality,this is all I can find online unfortunately.

I was wrong.   I looked it up on Russ's GalacticTradeFederation UK site and it is actually the dr gonzo set produced by a former member of these very boards at first i though it was the look versions.

So this site is sellling Ot member created discs, and i am very suspicious of the bonus discs as well.

Is this the 4 disc set TR-47 was selling years ago that got him banned?

 

I am sure it probably is,what ass clowns,damn I hate these friggin people.

not priated LOL,what idiots!

** how do you convert 720p/1080p files to DVD and retain the HD? **
Time

OK Ady,I just have to THANK YOU 1 more time,I think I got it,all my samples are playing on the PS3 and my Sony BDP-S350 Bluray player,I had to just modify the avisynth script,I took away the AssumeBFF() and added this Telecide(order=0,guide=1)and added a few more lines.

not sure why I had to do it this way and it worked for you the other way,I wonder if we are both running the same versions of the filters,I have tried to update as many as I can as frequent as I can.
also what program did you use to find what codec was used on the file and that the pulldown flags were all messed up?

again,Thanks my friend.

ps. now I can whip up some of my own AVCHD titles of some of these that are not out yet,like Sheena,The Gate,Night of The Comet,Night of The Creeps,King Kong 1976,Death Wish 1-3,From Beyond,HELL even maybe Howard The Duck LOL,and the list goes on.
