OK now that Conan is done we have begun testing this BD now, we are doing some cool stuff with this one if we are able and so far it is looking very promising, we want you to be able to select which version you want to watch and then by using the "angle" button be able to switch over to the other version so you can go back and forth, but this is needing some serious testing but so far like I said, fingers crossed, it is looking good! our Menu Guy really knows his shit and comes up with some real sweet ideas, I will update again when we have an actual BD50 ready to test, we are currently only testing the multi angle part of it without any of the extras on board lol, so soon we should have 2 projects done then we will get SW 77 and ANH 97 SE out the door, then back to Terminator 1&2 and True Lies.

To all that donated and to my Team, the Conan BD50's are burned and burn tested for CRC errors, all is good! now just waiting on my artwork to arrive then I will place them in their BD cases and ship off, hopefully you guys like them, we have put a lot of time and effort into this and I truly hope it shows, I will contact each of you when it ships and provide you with your tracking number.

Thanks

Team Blu

Is this a bit perfect 16 bit 44.1 KHz rip of the LD PCM? if so this would be nice to have, what does one need to trade to get this?

I was wondering does anyone here have Night of The Demons HDTV file or know where to get it, I would love to get the raw 1080i stream, I know there is one out there because I have seen others try and make something of it, but so far I just cannot find the raw stream, I would love to make a Blu-ray of this since NOTD part 2 is out now, and I am pretty sure there is no HD stream for part 3 lol.

Thanks

OK last update on the progress of things, it is final, this is DONE! Conan The Barbarian US Theatrical is finally finished and looks and sounds great!

We thank all who have shared their thoughts with us in this thread, I will let you know when and where you guys can grab this, it goes to the Team and the people who donated first.

Thanks

OK so I am pretty sure we now have our final BD and it is 45.6 GB's in size, I tested it on my Panasonic BD Player and my PS3 and so far no issues at all on anything, now before I burn copies for the Team and the few that donated I want to do 1 more run through, I just want this to be perfect as it can be, and speaking of perfect, I want to say right now it is not,we are only 3 Fans of movies like you people here with home PC's and we are limited to the sources available to us, but we have tried very, very hard to make this as perfect as we can, I am thoroughly impressed with this, our Team has really done this one up great, and with the amazing help from ABC it was just the icing on the cake, but unfortunately we will no longer have his help on any more projects, I tried to get him to join but he is just to busy, but we may have a 4th member soon, I need to talk it over with the other 2, our hopefully 4th member will be our official artwork guy, so we will see how that turns out, hopefully good!

By the way I just cannot stop watching the Conan Symphony, this is just to cool!

OMG I wanted it, but it looks like it's going to take 5 days to DL ? I mean really ?

 

I always seed as best I can. This is bad.

I will put it up again somewhere else soon.

I don't know what PIF is, and it reads like I don't want to know, but with the little knowledge I have oft these things, wouldn't MySpleen be a viable option? Perhaps you can set some agreements from people, to keep them seeding it? Just a thought.

PIF is pay it forward, you would send a copy to someone then he\she will burn 3 copies and send out and so on, but it always breaks down, this has never worked.

and agreements do not work, people can say what they want and then do another lol, but I will figure something out, nothing is going to be perfect.

Yea I will definitely not use "PIF" this has never, ever worked, and I certainly do not trust it to keep going, it never has, been burned on this a lot back in the day so this is why I never even mentioned it and never will lol, to many asshats out there that will not help keep projects like these alive.

DrGonzo369 said:

I meant when they are released.  Or has that been discussed yet?

Still not sure, I am talking with someone now, but still not 100% sure, I hate fileshare sites because I am not paying to join to keep the links alive and for the speed, plus not sure who to trust anymore, and torrents are good but I cannot stand the hit and runners, especially when the file sizes are this large, so I might just have to do the newsgroups, but there are still a lot of members who do not use this, so just not sure, I will know more soon.

lol if I had a Blu-ray duplicator I would just take more blank donations and burn for people, hell as it is I hope my trustee home BD burner does not fail me lol.

So if anyone has any suggestions fire away, I will at least hear them out and think on them.

So since I missed the window for the BD, how does one get them?

Good question :-)

Get what? nothing is released yet.

So has anyone checked out the mobile version? I guess it might not really be worth doing these, who knows.

Anyways testing has begun and so far all is good, I found 1 thing I would like to fix but it is something I can do on my end, but damn I just can't stop watching the Conan Symphony extra, this is really cool, especially given the source we had to work with, this really turned out nice, I have to say these menu's are just fantastic, I can't wait to see the NOTLD 90 SE menu's now, hell any of them really, but that is where I am at, I want to test it in my region free BD player and my PS3 before I start burning for those that donated and for the Team.

So what do you guys think, scrap the mobile versions?

*edit, I do know one thing for sure, after the last couple get this file at TPB I am deleting the torrent, TPB is fracking terrible as far as seeding, I have had already quite a few snatches and yet I am still the only seeder, I should have known this already though, so get it if you want ti I will not leave it up long, I really hate when people do not help seed these things.

Any news/updates?

No not really, everything has been done for a long time now just sitting on my drives, we are currently testing the authoring package for Conan then we are going to go onto NOTLD 90 SE, then we will author up these 2, the other 2 are taking up way to much space on my drives and the authoring package is a lot trickier on those 2 then the SW projects so we are banging those 2 out first, plus I am going to start doing a new thing for you guys if it all works out, I am going to make a mobile version available, I just now made available the mobile version of our Conan project, search TPB handhelds and check it out, if it works and everyone likes this I will start doing this for all our Team Blu releases.

Sorry these are not done yet but I really need to clear off drive space really bad lol, all 3 of my drives are almost full, and these SW BD's are only BD25's, the other 2 I mentioned are BD50's.

 

Is there a chance, that you'd release a little snip-it/teaser of the eventual outcome, to hold us over until the time comes when you do the full release? Maybe if we all ask, pretty please?

 

Maybe a mobile version like I just did for Conan.

Well if a version does pop up before we release and it is better we will for sure switch it out, but I am not going to hold my breath on it.

Another little update on things for this, I now have the LD and have Suspiria on the way, so just as soon as it gets here I will ship these both out to be ripped.

We have a lot of extras we need to sift through for this project, not yet sure what will be on the BD and what will not, but I am leaning towards this as a BD25 release, we just do not have any BD50's to keep making these huge releases lol, plus it is not like the video we are working with is "pristine" or anything, certainly better then what we currently have obviously.

I'd love a directors cut or extended cut, so much good material was cut from the film. Hope a company like SHOUT or OLIVE get ahold of it.

Hell yes! but I would be happy also even if Twilight Time got it, someone needs to.

Here is something else I am planning on doing for you guys, I hope it works out this is my first time doing this, but it is kind of like our own "digital downloads" lol, this is the actual version we are releasing and I have it on my iPad mini right now, look at the pic below, this is our mobile release, so please grab it and let me know if this is ok or not, or whether I should even bother, but this is available to watch right now while we test the BD.

Thanks

*search TPB under handhelds, or should I have put it in HD video?

Well you learn something new all the time, I have just learned you still have to watch your bitrate on these BD's as well, you can't just arbitrarily max bitrate on all your HD audio files and lossless PCM tracks and then jack up your video, it just won't work lol, you assume with BD you can just go nuts, well you can't, well anyways after quite a few errors menu guy and myself finally got them worked out and have a successful BD author, if all checks out this monster is a whopping 45.6 GB's! now to test it on my standalone Blu-ray player and the PS3, keep your fingers crossed lol.

Just a quick update here, we have started our final testing for the finished product, as you know we want these menu's as well as everything else to work flawlessly, we(Team Blu) pride ourselves on the best damn product we can possibly do, so that is where this is at right now, hopefully we will have our final releasable BD by the end of this long weekend, fingers crossed!

Hell I cannot wait to watch this myself lol, I have purposely waited to view the entire movie until we had the finished BD done, so I am just as excited as some of you lol.

We are almost there, and thanks to those that have donated some BD50's, hopefully soon you will have this baby, and I believe my Menu Guy is going to hit NOTLD 1990 SE before hitting the 2 SW flicks, so stay tuned to those threads for more info.

DJ and Team Blu

Now out the door to go see Fast and Furious 6 with the Family.

Well no offense to an LD transfer but there is just no way in hell it will look at all as well as these.

A small update on things, the Cinema DTS files provided from Jetrell Fo are in sync, but we are still working on the video, hopefully we will have that done soon so I can encode it and we still need the PCM ripped from the LD, just as soon as I get the LD, which Tranzor has provided, so a huge thanks for that and then I will send off that LD and Suspiria for the bit perfect PCM rips.

OH and we still need to figure out what extras we will for sure be using, but it is looking like this will be a BD25 release.

You_Too said:

EPK = Electronic Press Kit?

Oh so that is what it is lol, so do you think this is different then the extras on the German SE DVD?

Thanks guys, like I said I searched and searched lol, really thought I was losing my mind, so I will grab those images You_Too and hopefully 1 of them will work for our cover guy.

Stamper said:

There is also on usenet a making of DVD with most, if not all the EPK!

What is EPK? and I am sure these extras are from the German SE DVD.
