Sure, why not. I'd love to hear this stuff, and DVD-Lab can do *several* soundtracks. I posted my 3-soundtrack SW prototype on MySpleen. You should give it a listen and tell me what you think (and about the commentary menu as well.)


Mebejedi, I won't need to do multiple audio tracks for this one luckily. As I said, right now I'm just trying to figure out what the best way to do the storyboards/photos would be. The rest is pretty much in the can. Once this work is done, just have to figure out menus. Got ideas for either?

Done with the extras disc for right now. There are a TON of storyboards/photographs on the Criterion set and trying to figure out the best way to present them on a DVD. Should I step forward myself and make a montage with music? or is there a better way.

You can scratch having multiple audio options. None of the extras need it.

I'm currently recording the commentary and will be syncing it up with the released 16x9 transfer tonight. Should be all done this weekend.

The Criterion disc has a COMPLETELY different commentary which (I think) is the best commentary I've heard. It was a LOT better than the one I listened to on the DVD.
There are also outtakes on the laser as well as other technical stuff. I was definitely disappointed in the 2 disc DVD release.

I could probably put together the extras disc over the weekend. The commentary would take a little longer but no problem with that either.

I don't want to include the original audio from the film because i really don't want to duplicate anything that's legally out there.

I'd do all the captures. That's not the issue.

The issue is building the menus and making sure that you can have the option to listen to different audio content if possible.

I could even supply some music for the menus. I have the "bootleg" soundtrack CD with the complete score to the film. That might make another great extra if there's room.

And btw, everything is different about the Criterion version. I don't think there are any extras that are repeated.

Anyone want to help me out with this?

Was thinking of making a 2 disc set of the laserdisc edition. There are tons of extras (including a commentary) that have never been released on DVD. Was going to rip the video from the current DVD and sync up the commentary for disc 1 and then put all the other extras on disc two. Problem is that I'm not good with menus AND the second disc would have multiple audio tracks for certain extras.

Is anyone else interested in this and would anyone be able to help me out?

All,

Well...it looks like Babyhum and I are teaming up for our own set of releases. Babyhum will be making the menus and I will be supplying all the content. I'm also trying to get a hold of the Entertainment Tonight Special that was broadcast 5 years ago. it was an hour on the Indiana Jones trilogy with updates on all the actors. I or Babyhum will let everyone know how everything is coming along and we'll take it from there!

Thanks everyone for your support and I hope you enjoy the discs as they come out!

I don't mind doing it. I used to have the VHS version of this boxed set. This is basically all of the films re-edited (although 3 isn't touched) to be in chronological order. Basically all you'd need is the first two movies. They put back in a good amount of deleted scenes but all of which are included in the "extras" section of the DVD boxed set. FYI, there are more deleted scenes included in the TV version of 1 and 2 (which I believe was called the Saga, but differs from the vhs/dvd release of the same name).

Yes it is purely for the fans and that's why I want to do it right. I want there to be one release that's as close to perfect as possible. This isn't like a "movie" so i don't know why you keep calling it that. There won't be different edits of these. They are documentaries, pure and simple. Download them one at a time because you're not going to get more than one on a disc unless it's dual layered. If that's your plan, you're going to compromise quality and that's not something I'm willing to do.

So it's either do it your way and do it with lesser quality and have them on fewer discs in one torrent...or do it my way and have it the best quality possible and have each release on it's own disc...much like Babyhum's releases. He's doing that perfectly and I don't understand why we can't do the same.

Indy,

Not a chance. You either release the discs as I give them to you, just making the menus for each one or no deal.

My only problem is not having the know-how to create nice looking menus. I'd rather release them without at this point than contribute to this project. And I want them be separate releases as they deserve to be. That's what I'll be doing if you don't agree.

THE RAIDER DVD SPECIAL - was actually a re-edit more or less of the original 1981 television special. I believe there may have been one or two shots actually that differred from the original special, but it is almost negligible and porbably a waste of time to include it. Plus, most of us probably have it already.


The Raiders special could possibly be the TV special that was done on MTV in 1989 with Harrison Ford. It was used to promote Last Crusade but he mostly goes through all of his movies and gives a candid review of each of them. It's also the only place he's ever said anything remotely positive about Blade Runner. Other than that, I don't know what you mean about the Raider DVD special. As far as I know, there is no such thing.

Again, I'm still working on making menus and stuff...but I just remembered other things I have as well...including Today show specials, the Premiere Magazine behind the scenes, a Siskel & Ebert special on the making of all of them, a showtime special on Last Crusade...and hours of other Indy stuff.

Indy, it sounds like I have all the stuff you're getting plus tons more. If you would be interested in making the menus, I would send you the material which might be a better way of handling this whole thing. But you'd have to leave it as I give it to you. I"m a stickler for quality and I'm confident my stuff is the best quality you're going to come across.
