Actually bluray writers are cheap and very popular now. However the trend is to streaming services. Bluray is on its way out.

For those of us in the USA, Newegg has a blu burner for $65 on sale. Come on guys no excuses.

Well, wouldn't it be best to take the Blu-Ray of I and II and edit it to match the AMC version, only leaving in the AMC shots when they're different?  That way it's uncensored, and in the best possible quality.

The downside would be that the AMC logo, instead of always being there, would only pop up for extended scenes/shots, disappearing for the rest of the movie, which could be distracting.

jwuk...please note that my version will be 1080i with extras.

The TV Vault version is 720p with no extras.

Guys...

I should have this completed by the end of the week. Any ideas on the easiest way to upload 50GB's? :) lol

digitalfreaknyc,

There are seven people seeding Part 3 on TV Vault right now. I'll be seeding it too once I get it.

I'm not getting the 3rd part. No seeds at all. :( :(

Badboy...what are you referring to? I'm not doing anything with an mkv.

all the files i've gotten are in mkv, figured they were the same for you. i wanted to convert them into DVD5 but i don't know how.

Absolutely not. Mine are TS. They are full HD.

I assume you downloaded the 720p files?? How many did you get?

 

4 mkv files, one for each program. The first three are about 3 gb each and the fourth is almost 5 gb. You still need program 3?

^^That was posted a year ago. :(

TServo....sent.

THANKS!

Maybe the person who has it can just privately send me what I need to finish the whole damn thing. Judging by the file size, I'm assuming he did the same thing I did.

@digitalfreaknyc you have any luck downloading that torrent? I'm still stuck at 1.68GB

I'm not a member of that group so I can't download it.

All I would need is the 3rd piece. I'd upconvert that segment from 720p to 1080i and we'd be done. *sigh*

 

you can register, i was able to do it easily all it took was an email activation. i can give u my login info if u can't register.

I meant would it be possible to splice them into one uninterrupted film as opposed to ftwo discs ?

davros said:

What is the running time? and  what is thsi about you spliting it into two discs? surely it could be compressed into one ?

Considering Criterion is rumored to be releasing this on blu, you might not need this for long.

badboy1997 said:

downloading a torrent from a weird website, its 16 gb and it's frozen at 1.6, so i'd prefer to see this version in even better quality, especially with the rare godfather 3 opening.

TServo2049 said:

How was the film quality / transfer quality on this? I was amazed that this would be shown in 16:9 HD...

davros said:

Hi is this the godfather sgaga , the same cut avaiable on VHS that is the two films cut into one epic 6 hour masterpiece. ?

 

Just an update:
I've capped all 4 parts off of my DVR.

Now I have to start re-building that segment of the first film. :( It definitely won't match the "look" of the Saga as they're clearly two different sources. However, it's better than missing that part of the film.

Again, if *anyone* knows of someone who still has this on their DVR, please let me know.

I'm running into a snag, though. It looks like there were some choppy parts in part 3 so I'm going to have to plug the holes with the official Blu-ray.

Oh that's unfortunate. Will you need to degrade the resolution of the parts from the Blu-Ray to match the HDTV capture better? I assume that the HDTV capture is at other 720p or 1080i so the BD may be a slight jump-up in quality.

Other than compression, there should be no quality jump between 1080i and 1080p once 3:2 pulldown has been removed.

But then DFNYC will already know this :-)

Link doesn't work for me. :(

I don't have the commercial, unfortunately.

That will delay my getting it up.

So branching off of this thread:
http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/NOW-RELEASED-The-Godfather-1901-1980-Epic-Edit/topic/4536/

I DVR’ed the AMC airing and and I’m halfway through capping it.
Each piece will be about 9.3 gigs. If you do the math (there are 4 pieces), it will be approximately 37 gigs. Since 50gb discs are much more expensive, I’m going to put this on 2 different single layer discs. I have the John Cazale HBO documentary in HD so I’ll use that as an “extra.” I also have some other SD stuff that I’m going to throw on as a bonus feature.

if anyone has anything that they would like to contribute, please contact me and I’ll be happy to add it. 😃

Thus far:
The Godfather Saga (Parts 1-4) HD
The Godfather 3 (TV Introduction) HD
I Knew It Was You: Rediscovering John Cazale HD

As far as how I’m going to distribute…I have no idea. I guess torrent? It’s going to be an insane amount of information.

MichaelLAX said:

What software do you use to edit out commercials, etc.?

I have the Happauge HDPVR-1212 and use the Macintosh software frontend for capping.

I can also run Windows XP if editing software requires it.

Thanks!

For those interested, I've started capping this and I'm halfway through.
