Thank you for your thought and effort, Lasedisc Master!

My friend in Italy managed to capturing this recent airing of JAWS: THE REVENGE, and it has the original cut with Jake's death and the non-explosion ending. I'm going to try and put this rip on the BD-R I make of this, just need to sync it up with the English track.



I would just include the ending. No reason to include the whole movie again.

Usenet newbie questions...
Time

So I'm working on a side project for myself and a friend that would require scouring Usenet for a few things.

Here's the scoop:
I was putting together a bonus disc for the TV show Will & Grace. When the show was released to DVD, they used syndicated versions of several of the episodes instead of the originally aired cuts. This meant that sometimes approx 6 minutes (give or take) of footage was cut. I was wondering if usenet might have the original capped versions from the early 2000's still there. I feel like it's my only hope at this point.

Does anyone have any suggestions of where I might be able to find them?

I'm betting most people have never seen this before...
It was filmed September 12, 1978 at Fox studios.

It's....quite somethin'.


 It wasn't for the Holiday Special. It was filmed for the dance number as part of an entertainment program at the time. There was a video online years ago which had part of the program either side of the video, but i can't seem to find it. The only one i could find was posted in 2010, although edited to remove the segment of the show, but you can still hear the clapping at the end.

Ahhh. However, the appearance was used to promote it, apparently. It's labeled as being for the Holiday Special.

If anyone is thinking about getting the package for all the special features, then you need to check that the site you will be getting it from has all the special features in the package deal. VUDU are missing at least 2 of the new featurettes




Which ones?

It seems like there's 1 new featurette for each film.

And what service has all of them?


 Well it seems they are just missing one featurette now. VUDU don't have :

"<span>Discoveries From Inside: Weapons & The First Lightsaber</span>"


Huh? It's the first extra:

True, in fact I'd put 'Like A Prayer' up there with Shakespeare and Beethoven. That reminds me, I haven't listened to that track the usual 50 times this week.


 Papa Don't Preach >>>>> Like a Prayer.    In fact almost everything by her before 1989 is better than Like a Prayer.



Wow. I'd heartily disagree. As a die-hard fan, LAP is still my #1. It's still a brilliant song.

I'm not looking for TV rips. I'm looking for well done captures ;) Everything you find on torrents looks like crap with reduced re-encodes :(


 Really?  What sites have you been using?  my internet connection is not fast enough for amazon video to work with but Utorrent works fine so some times when my time recorder screws up I buy the episode on amazon but download it off of a torrent site and every time I have done it as long as I pay attention to file info and user feedback the episode looks as good as an official release or something I captured myself.

I am really surprised that you can't find good files on a torrent site.


Nothing i see compares to what I capture. Bitrates are, by and large, crap.
