I finished downloading this now. Thanks a billion, DFNYC! I burned both discs to BD and printed cover art. So far, I've watched Episode 1. Excellent quality I must say, far better than my recording on my DVR; of course, the lack of commercials is great.

I noticed some occasional, non-bothersome digital artifacts; I assume this is a side effect of the capture. It manifests as slight distortions (i.e. an odd row of pixels lower section of the image). It certainly doesn't seem like a bad burn to me. In any case, it doesn't bother me one bit. Just thought I should point it out.

Also, I forgot. Where did the replacement for the missing section of your recording come from?

It might have been from my recording from AMC. It does blip out (has since been fixed) but it shouldn't be too often.

Enjoy the extras?

Did anyone have any issues with TPB still?

two questions

1. i've located the torrent on PB but i couldn't seem to find it on demonoid. the torrent from PB isn't very fast, would the demonoid one be better if i could find it?

2. i don't have a blu-ray player. in fact i'm not positive if my laptop can play blu-rays. will these files play in vlc?

There was a problem with the demonoid one so i had to delete it, unfortunately.

I'm the only seeder so it can only go so fast. It's averaging between 200 and 250kb/s. That's as fast as I can go.

No idea how long this is going to take to seed completely.

Is this available on newsgroups perchance?

Unfortunately, no. I don't have access to them.

Nice sounding release, digitalfreaknyc! Out of curiosity, where will the torrent be uploaded? I'm very interested. Myspleen may not be the best place considering the recent take down of movie torrents, such as the custom BD of Big Blue (another ot.com project)...

I used demonoid and PB.

digitalfreaknyc is it all done?

If it's not one thing, it's another. The sync is ok but the latest authoring didn't include the Godfather 3 alternate opening. I have to try and re-do AGAIN today.

I can't WAIT until this is over. :) lol
And i hope you all enjoy it. lol

I spent the day yesterday with my best friend and saw Prometheus.

Does anyone happen to have Basic Instinct on DVD from Germany, Holland, Portugal, Scandinavia, Spain and the UK?

There is a featurette on it that's 6:29 and I'm working on a project. It's not on the R1 version.

Wow! I've always been interested in the Godfather Saga version. Now I may finally get to see it.

Any chance someone will do a compressed 720p version? I don't need the massive 1080i version myself...

That's already out there if you wanted it.

The break comes right after Michael wakes up from the car bomb in italy and right before Vito has the meeting with the 5 families. It's a perfect place.

it certainly is. splitting it into two single layer discs is perfectly fine, i figured it'd be part 4 that needed splitting. when do you think we'll see this?

I'm hoping to have it done by the end of the week. I keep pushing it back because I'm wasting blank BD's on it, unfortunately. I keep seeing sync problems with the audio. :( I edited it using videoredo and it clearly is having issues with how many cuts are in each part. Anyone ever have this problem?

Part 3: 93 minutes
Part 4: 140 minutes

Godfather 3 opening: 14 minutes

NBC Promo's (1978): 2 minutes

Godfather Trilogy VHS Trailer: 3 minutes

Entertainment Tonight 20th Anniversary News Report: 2 minutes

E!'s Godfather Anniversary Gala: 44 minutes

that's pretty sweet man, is that john cazale doc any good?

It's excellent. I've made my own separate disc for that, at this point, with all the extras from the DVD.

Unfortunately, I'm having to split Part 3 into two parts on two different discs. I tried burning a DL BD and every player I tested it on had a problem with it. So I'm going with two single layer discs. The break comes right after Michael wakes up from the car bomb in italy and right before Vito has the meeting with the 5 families. It's a perfect place.

Perhaps we could do a PiF system on this? Anyone interested? I'll be torrenting but it might be good if you guys could jump on. It's going to take FOREVER to get 45 gigs to people.

Just watched this interview with James Caan and he talked about a documentary that had never been seen before about the making of the Godfather films. Apparently it’s only being shown at the Mob Experience in Las Vegas. Anyone know anything about it?

He probably watched the Itunes/Amazon version, I would think.
