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.

^ LOL sorry. Can't help you with ITV stuff.

I actually found someone that can do the ITV ones. Now I'm on to the other 2.

You want multiple Madonna specials? Why? ;-)

Precisely why I didn't mention what I was interested in. Don't feel like reading the ridicule.

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.

I was wondering if I could ask a favor. I live in the US and I was looking for someone to capture a few upcoming things for me in the UK (as well as France and Italy). Anyone able to help me out?

Must have been a really cheapo DVD recorder, as I've not had those kind of issues.

There were problems with the laserdisc, not the recorder.

It can be purchased, capped and re-sold. It's just that initial purchase...

Nope. Just teases. So stupid.

Is this also the case with The Dark Knight Rises?

Yes.

Ok, but what about other forms of physical media, like digital downloads?

Umm...by definition "digital downloads" are not "another form of physical media."

[quote=Mike O]

Yeah, but the market is going to become what it is in Japan: astronomically high prices for everything physical. It's already shifting that way with Twilight Time catalog titles.

I'd rather pay $30 for a blu-ray copy of the movies I'm looking for than not have them at all...or only have a download option.

And, yes, that's the way the market IS going. Bring on the days of laserdisc when everything was released, even if you had to pay a premium. BD is dying right now.

Sounds like a choice of stealing it via torrent or stealing it via Ebay. If the only two options are both ethically and legally challenging, why does it matter if there is a market catering to people who don't know how and don't want to learn to steal it via torrent?

Because why let people profit off of stuff they shouldn't be profiting off of?

*yawn* That's fighting a losing battle.

eBay doesn't care. Remember, they're getting $$$ off of these sales too.

Boos for Greedo. Muttering at Jedi Rocks. But the ENTIRE theatre yelling and jeering Hayden SO loudly...
As opposed to my screening where people applauded.
Cheering because it was the end of the film or because it was Hayden? No, seriously, I want to know. I wonder if there's a divide in the kinds of fans regionally.

Hayden.

I couldn't believe it. I wanted to throw up.

Just finished Star Wars and a panel chat with Biggs & Greedo actors!

Did someone ask Greedo how it felt to shoot first?

I will make it legal.

RIGHT ANSWER!

These look like the same elements that were available several months ago - I tried color correcting the rebel cruiser window image for sure.

I just checked the completed items and it seems like he has a lot of the same elements. Not sure how that happens.

Was there another thread for this?
