Anyone wanting to download my mix the links are now up on the final fantasy shrine forum (The Blade Runner Soundtrack Ultimate Thread).

This was not my decision but Kirkenshrir's, he took that choice away from me.

I had been considering the FF forums but ultimately i think i would have posted it on the blade runner soundtracks group forum, because that's where i acquired the 2019 copy.

 

 

 I just downloaded this project and, judging from the first track, it was taken from a PAL source or something because it's sped up. Too bad.

I have no doubt that Focus' version will be the ultimate version.  I await it.

 Is there a torrent available for this?

Thanks  ;-)

 This.

There were several DVD releases that had their 2.35 aspect ratio changed at the request of the DP.

The Recruit (starring Al Pacino) was eventually changed back to it's OAR for the blu-ray release.

I know Life As A House (starring Kevin Kline and Hayden) is 2.00 (I believe?) on the DVD.

Was just coming here to post this...

Just wondering-did anyone ever do the 97SE LD bonus footage?

 I did.  I think I sent it to Babyhum for his set.  Can't remember if he ever "released" it.  He's disappeared.

Sent PM

 When were these shown?  It looks like a recent broadcast.

Is there any update to this project?  or does anyone know where to get the John Denver Christmas special?  Or the extended Muppets Christmas Special?  We're wanting to share them all with my baby niece.  she fell in love with the dvd for the christmas special this past holiday.

That sounds right. I guess I was just to used to tinny VHS audio. It's nice that an original mix was used to make a new 5.1 track. I'm so tired of audio being redone by someone not affiliated with the original design.

Does this also go for Temple and Last Crusade??

 Yes.

FWIW, it's an LAY file, whatever that is.

Strange that the burning software trips up on the LAY file - DVDSP and Spruce before it used this file as a 'preference' file (LAYOUT) - it contains volume information and where the layer break would be set etc.

No need for it in a burnable copy, and can be safely deleted, but at the same time should do no harm if left.

 Well, for whatever reason, the 5th disc wouldn't even get to menu and the 2nd DVD would only play a portion of it.  No idea why but it completely stopped the disc on my player.

In any case, it's been resolved.  I guess that's the good news.

I hope he listened very carefully to Scorsese's fantastic speech.

 If he didn't, perhaps one of his chins did.

Has Titanic been forgotten yet?

 

No, because it has a very strong plot and it tells a story about one of the most famous disasters ever. 

This isn't to say it's good or not good (still haven't seen it yet), but just to say that I don't see it being forgotten.

 

It wont be compared to the great movies, it will be remembered as a huge leap in technology, it will be very boring to watch when CG improves.

 

They said that about Star Wars too. ;)

 

But they put out 3 of the greatest movies ever.  Avatar has one overated movie out.  When I hear people talk about Avatar, the only thing they talk about is how pretty everything was, not anything to do with the plot.  I couldn't even tell you 3 characters names from the film. 

Where was the tragedy, the irony, the powerful ending in Avatar?  I knew what the ending would be like an hour into the movie.

Just my 2 cents :)

 Amen.  Avatar is horrendously over-rated.

Both AA5 and AA6 were thoroughly checked for any playback problems before uploading, and they both played fine. They were authored in professional DVD Stufio PROsoftware  on Mac and are in PAL format (PAL uncompatible players from US might exhibit problem with playback). Over 100 users downloaded both discs so far and no one reported any problems. Hope you work it our dfnyc...

Well, there's a problem with the rapidshare version because it has a file in BOTH there that it shouldn't.  I deleted that file and now both burn and play without issue.

FWIW, it's an LAY file, whatever that is.

Having problems with both discs. AA5 won't work at all.  AA6 will get to the menu and some of the items will play but not others. :(

Good news.  VideoReDo has come out with a LOSSLESS .264 editor, if anyone is interested.  No re-encoding!

Does anyone else use this soundtrack to relax?

Had a particularly stressful evening last night and it helped me fall asleep.  Used to use it all the time in college for that purpose.

Oh, and, if you ever get around to re-doing your Batman disc, you gotta add the crown jewel of '89 material

That's awesome.  Thanks.  Here's a bigger version: 20th.batman89.com

Anyone able to capture it?

VERY EXCITED!  THANKS GUYS!

Can someone point me in the right direction for AA5?

This can be found in :

search for : AA5 (with binsearch)

WKR,

 Thanks...I don't do newsgroups though. I found the rapidshare links! :)

Ziz said:

That's what I wanted to know.  Didn't know how far along you were after the HD failure or what order your projects were in.

Let me know when you're ready.

 I greatly appreciate it.  Thank you very much.

VERY EXCITED!  THANKS GUYS!

Ziz said:

Do you need me to finish those Indy menu screen backgrounds?

 Hmm...do you mind if i say "maybe?"  I haven't even thought about Indy as of yet.  I want to re-do ALL of the discs I've done because I have more footage from all of the movies, I think. Plus I re-did my laserdisc captures as well so they'd all be dual-layer. 

It'll happen eventually.  Thanks for responding.

 Holy crapola!  Tanks!

Is myspleen still around!??!

I know it's been forever but I got a bunch of requests for me to put up the Evita: Criterion Collection set.  That just started torrenting.
