STAR WARS: the alt.binaries.starwars thread
Time
yes it is working now,i think,i got the elusive monster squad HD file,and i tried to get the X0 TC file,but when i un-rar it it says corrupted,doesnt downloading stuff from newsgroups do hash checks like torrenting to prevent this?i took your advice Russ,i got an astraweb acct $25.00 for 90 gigs deal,and i signed up for the grabit search,this was less that $2.00 for a month(but there search servers dont have alt.binaries.starwars)what is up with that?
alo when you get done downloading a file,what are .par2 files?what are these for?do these correct corrupted files?sorry for the bombardment,but not sure what these are for LOL
but 1 thing is for certain,DAMN is downloading ALOT faster,5 1\2 hrs for Monster Sqaud HD file,20 mins for the X0 TC file,WAAAAAY faster than torrenting.
thanks for any and all help

addborders() help in avisynth
Time
I have this file,it is 1:85:1 16:9 widescreen,the Xvid video itself is 704x384,I want to encode it to anamorphic widescreen using CCE & Avisynth,now using Citizens aspect ratio calculator i put in the 704x384,and for source I used NTSC Anamorphic 16:9,and what it gave me was this:

NTSC Anamorphic (16:9) = 720,393
Lanczos4Resize(720,393).Addborders(0,43,0,44)
does this seem right?is this 1:85:1?
or should I use:

source PC normal (1:1)
NTSC Anamorphic (16:9) = 720,477
Lanczos4Resize(720,477).Addborders(0,1,0,2)

thanks for any and all help

Are you Going to buy them ?
Time
Thanks Russ,
at least someone agrees with me,i am just sick of reading everyday here all the crying,whining,and bitching about something noone even has yet,and I still cant believe anything from LD will be better than what a billion dollar company can put out.
again just my 2 cents
DJ

and as my friend Russ said,this is now my last post on the matter,until Sept.

Time
that is a dumb question,ofcourse i will buy them,probably 2 sets,these will undoubtedly BLOW away ANY Laserdisc capture,and I know people are going to argue against that,but you know what,we will see this September wont we.
and all this damn speculating by all the peeps here just friggin crack me up,no one knows anything for certain untill we have them in September and we view ourselves,I can't believe ALLL the damn threads wasted to this subject,why not just see what happens and then possibly bitch afterwards.
just my 2 cents
DJ

I tell you what,I will personally,laugh my ASS off if these end up being just what we wanted LOL!

King Kong: The Spence Edit (Released)
Time
Spence I am about 1/2 way through the edit now(I used Nero recode and made a SL version just to see how it would look,and it looks and sounds fantastic)I know some of the people at demonoid were complaining about it not being SL,I wouldnt worry about them,because if you upped the SL version,someone would complain it isnt the DL LOL,i am getting these kind of comments myself on the uploading of ADM's edits,now back to Kong,so far it is pretty damn cool,it even keeps my 5 year old sons interest better than the original,but there were a couple of spots where the video just "pauses" like when Denham was filming Ann on the ship(alone,then Jack comes up and Denham nudges him away)and just before Ann is lowered for Kong,but other than that so far GREAT job,i will post the rest tomorrow.
Keep up the great work
