maybe you can edit the storyboard with after affect with some music and maybe sound effects from the TOD opening sequence ?

Very possible. good call

Thanks!

Good call. Didn't even know they were updating that site any more. But they didn't film that scene and we definitely need a deleted scenes portion on the next DVD release.

Well, if you're in a native PAL country (as I am), then the difference between NTSC and PAL is quite noticeable- see Moth3r's transfers, for example.

Fair enough. Having never seen native PAL I wouldn't know the visual difference. All I know is that the AUDIO difference is enough to drive me crazy.

That's why I don't use pal and convert what I have to NTSC.

What specifically are you doing that you have a 5.1 source and 2.0 deleted scenes?

Use a VMG menu and you're all set. You have different types in the same DVD without having to do any conversion. What program are you using to author? I use DVD-Lab

However, it's nice to have the original, contemporary documentaries and trailers preserved in the best possible transfer, because no matter how "made-for-TV" those docs and features were, they're what we remember watching from our childhood days, and I guess that's why a lot of us are here on these forums in the first place.

No i completely understand.

my point is that from release to release...the transfer quality is probably not going to be different at all. For instance, I have the Classic Creatures VHS from it's original release (Playhouse video, I believe) and it's still in great condition. Burned to DVD and should be seeded eventually. But I doubt you're ever going to get it in much better condition unless something official comes out. I can't believe the difference in PQ from NTSC to PAL would be that different.

Hypercube won't do anything else but 5.1 so if you ever want to so simple surround or other, you can't use it. Plus I like AC3 MUCH better. A lot quicker

I wouldn't use something that upconverted from 2.0 to 5.1. I want the original souce and nothing else. I don't even like "fake" 5.1 on official releases (like a lot of Paramount's, for instance).

If all goes well (and Rikter allows) I will be uploading my first two Indiana Jones discs PLUS the Se7en (Criterion edition) this weekend!

1...2...5? Three, sir.

I'm assuming you're referring to the numbering on the Indy discs.

3 will be The Making of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

4 will most likely be the EPK for Last Crusade.

I am trying to get a complete copy of the "Heroes & Sidekicks: The Making of TOD" special but it seems like no one has one. I know of one person who has an edited version...so if anyone has any leads, I'd be open to it.

I probably won't be #ing any of the other releases besides Indy. I haven't decided yet.

I'm confused though...

Aren't the masters for the making of specials all 16mm? The quality will always be pretty poor...no matter what the mastering...no? I can't believe that they would have made different masters for this release.

I'm confused. Are there any extras on here that aren't the "making of" specials or that are on the laserdisc???

Just a quick update:

I'm picking up Babyhum's mastering of two of the Indy specials so those should be up this weekend, barring anything else.

Also, sorry for the delay regarding Se7en but I wanted the sync to be absolutely perfect on the commentary and the movie so I completely re-did the first disc. It should be done by Friday and plan on working on the second disc this weekend.

So some good stuff coming up!!

Mitch,

Why not have someone do a straight transfer from the Beta onto a dual layer disc...or...hell...even 3 discs!

I dunno. That means there will be over 2 hours on the second disc...no? or almost 2 hours? why wasn't it just left at the movie and that's it?

I guess I do have an earlier version because all that extra stuff definitely isn't on there. Looking foward to downloading this. I'm assuming that the first movie is coming along? If not, I have that one as well.

Rikter,

I had the "official" version of this 2 disc set and it didn't have the making of Superman 2 on it nor the trivia track. Was there re-encoding done on this??? There had to have been because I don't think there would be room for that making of special if there wasn't. Personally, I'd rather have that special have it's own release rather than try to cram it onto this one.

Is the whole thing in 16x9 or just the parts where it's the original movie and the tv parts in full screen? My version is completely full screen.

I've heard of this and would love to see it. They also sell one of Se7en. Both apparently have atrocious quality so I never bothered but if I saw them, might be a different story. If anyone has a "hook up" i'd be interested.

Great extras, indeed. Too bad they probably lost the rights to them already and won't rerelease this on DVD... just as they won't release their short-lived "Spinal Tap" exclusive once again... :-\

Yup. good thing I'm doing my version

Of course, the editing suite won't be as exciting technically but I assure you, seeing several takes of Keanu doing the same lines (some of which are vastly [read: upsettingly] different). And then of course, the two audio tracks. I'm debating making this a dual layer.
