1 thing,I agree it looks nice,and I am sorry for not mentioning it either,but if you want it to match what i am releasing,you might want to take off the menu shot,that menu will NOT be on my release,and yes the HD2DVD thing would be nice,but hey like Cassidy said,anyone is free to make whatever they want,and use any one they want,if it is OK with you I will download it and add it to the dvd-rom folder on the disc. thanks for all the ideas and help DJ
Childs Play is done,just waiting on artwork,this is way better that that 4:3 version that we get here in the US,I will finish up Raiders of the Lost Ark before going back to Jaws II,Revenge of the Creature,and who knows what else. DJ
you could also try UnderCoverXP,this will do all sizes,and you wont have to resize,the program does it for you,I have made Slim cases with this,and it works good. DJ
ADM is the man,and also Doctor M's idea to use DVD-Rebuilder Pro, its very easy to use and also lets you filter,resize,and keep the menu's and extra's and DVD9,I did my PAL and NTSC set and they look friggin great,best OUT so far. DJ
ALL my HD2DVD releases are Anamorphic,even Creature Form The Black Lagoon,and the sequel Revenge Of The Creature,although on these 2 titles,there are black bars on the side,and they to are anamorphic,just like shown on HDTV,but if you were to watch either of these on a 4:3 TV,there will be black bars on ALL 4 sides,but these are really for the widescreen owners,I also have Halloween II now,because of all the files rounding up,I havent had time to make my scripts and encode yet,so hoepfully I will get to start in a day or two. This is the order I will do them:
Jaws II Childs Play Revenge OF The Creature Halloween II
these are already finished:
The Monster Squad Creature from The Black Lagoon(this has Stereo sound,the original was in mono,but I kept it just the way it was shown on monstersHD,this is probably the same for Revnege as well) Sheena
Also every HD2DVD project I do has custom artwork made by my friend TheCassidy,Childs Play is really looking cool too.
DJ
Here are the nice Adverts for what is done so far:
@ marioxb, The Monster Squad is on Myspleen now,and the last time I checked it was still being seeded very well,it will take a few days for Childs Play,my artwork man is already on the custom HD2DVD artwork,stay tuned. DJ
the monster squad I already did(it is on Myspleen now),I have been doing an HD2DVD collection of rare and non widescreen movies,and whatever else I fell like doing,I have these titles done so far: The Monster Squad Sheena Creature From he Black Lagoon ( and I have Revenge of The Creature also,I may do this too in HD2DVD fashion) Jaws II and still looking for more titles to do,I wasnt aware there is NO widescreen version of Childs Play available,I will get it now,and add it to my HD2DVD collection. thanks for the headsup Zeromancer DJ
I am downloading this now,I will add this to my HD2DVD release list.
ESHBG, why are you so worried about looking at screenies?forget the damn screenshots and just make a set,it isnt all that hard,and they turned out fantastic,and i have to disagree with what was said in another thread,editdroid set is NOT better than these,somebody is definitelt drinking Drano,sure these are not perfect,but NOONE here can make a perfect set,the ONLY person that can give us Perfection is GL,but these will do untill the next round of "OFFICIAL" releases. I really want to see what the X0 can do myself,this has been hyped so much,thread after thread, that,DAMN, it should be way better than these,hopefully some day we will ALL see,I have said this before and I will say it again,this is only MY opinion,I think this set is better than ANY LD Capture release to date,now I said "LD". end rant DJ
well I have them all converted now,and I must say,these are now my favorite versions,on MY setup NO ld capture looks as good as these after I used DVD-RB Pro v1.10.6b and CCE SP 6 pass encoding,and ALL menus and extras are intact(I did rob from the extras to add to the quality of the movie though),I have watched SW,now I am putting in ESB,these look great converted with the above recommended program from Doctor M,thanks again,you were ALOT of help. also I think I have all versions out except X0 obviously,and the Eraser Set,but I compared this set to ALL others I have,and I like these,I am watching on a 62' DLP Hi-Def TV,with an OPPO Upconvert DVD multi region player,alot of the others look way to filtered to me(like I said,at least on my setup)hell even my Japanese cropped set looks to be filtered to much compared to these. just thought I would throw this info out there,so if anyone else plans on making anamorphic versions,DVD-RB Pro is SOOOO easy,and VERY good quality as well. DJ
Thank You much Doctor M,you have opened my eyes to some new software,and DAMN did it make the conversion easy,and it kept the greedo subtitles too,thanks alot for the info on DVD-RB pro 1.10.7 and it kept everything in tact,but i did have it take 50% quality form extras,to add to the movie,and I still got to use CCE SP,EXCELLENT recomendation. DJ
but after cropping they will be gone right,how do you add them back,and with what font,I dont want to crop with them in,because like you said, once resized they will look stretched,that will look shitty. does this make more sense now,if not let me know. thanks for the fast response though DJ
so if you DONT want the Greedo subs burned in,how would you do this? and what font would be used?is ANH the only one with subs like this,or is there a Jabba subs too in ROTJ,and if so what font is used on that one? thanks in advance DJ (I forgot about this part,damn)
Andy,I would definitley be interested in a Re-Vamp version,this is great,but if you have better video,it could br better. keep up the great work,this is way cool,I love Nosferatu,and you put my favorite game soundtrack to it,great job DJ
Laserman, What steps would you use to do this right,obviously rip to hard drive,then crop and IVTC,then I saw you mentioned Limitedsharpen,then re-size add appropriate borders and re-encode with CCE SP2 at ? (how many passes would you use)also is there any other filters you might use,I was thinking Didee's SeeSaw,but what denoiser would be good,I guess you cant answer that untill you see the source. I really want to do this right,I have done it already a few times on LD captures,but I have never done an anamorphic conversion of a DVD,this will be my first time,but looking forward to the challenge,hopefully with a few tips from you and others, I will get this right. thanks for your time DJ
since reading through all of this,I am going to take some advice given,since I have Both sets coming PAL and NTSC,i think i will make both regions anamorphic,something to do while I think up another project. DJ
"Why the sudden hate?" what do you mean,I cant distribute this after I do it,this will be available on the shelf at the store,the Original Trilogy is NOW out OFFICIALLY,I dont understand what you mean,hell I friggin love SW,I cant wait to get my hands on these next Tuesday,and to get my PAL set shortly after,anyone here can make there own anamorphic set,just learn avisynth,there are alot of very smart peeps here to help you out. I have NO hate at all,I love everyone DJ
Damn Laserman,you are a wealth of information,I have a high end Widescreen DLP TV 62',I might have to look into what you mentioned.
