You're the first to mention it, which parts are you referring to? Has anyone else had any problems?

The only source I had for the DirectTV commercial was a webrip (via tb1971). If you know of better...

 

 Hmm...I just watched the TV commercials...and they're about a second out of sync.  I'm going to have to watch the rest. 

The last thing I want to do is disrespect you guys for putting this together.  Maybe it's a problem with the download?  I dunno...

Doesn't make sense that a rapidshare download would create a sync problem

your best bet is to get "raid edition" drives, which are designed for more usage regardless if you use them for raid or not (i.e. WD RE3 drive, NOT RE4-GP which is a green/low power model). the seagate 7200.12 drives are good, too, but i wouldn't be surprised if you are opposed to them...

 

 

 I'm already up and running with 2 Western Digital 620gb drives.  They'll be cloned so no worries about losing info again. :)

Guys,

I want to thank you all for the kind words and the paypal offer. 

As much as I don't want to take you up on it, I just may.  At this point, i don't even know if the material has been saved.  if it has, I will let you know and we'll take it from there.

As a thank you, I would promise to get the Indy discs out immediately and I would give early download links to anyone who contributes.

I'm also planning on re-doing the original discs for the first 3 movies as well. 

I promise to keep you updated.

I disagree about IMAX, but only if the film is *shot* in IMAX.  Blowing up 35mm (or worse, digital) film to IMAX (which is 70mm turned on its side) is completely pointless.  But I guarantee if you compare something that was shot on 70mm/IMAX to anything shot on 35mm, it completely blows it out of the water.  If it weren't so damned expensive, I'd prefer that everything were shot on 70mm.

 

I don't like the fact that you have to shoot in one aspect ratio for IMAX.

But, yes, 70mm would absolutely be preferred.

I think that Seagate is recovering the data for free since it is their fault.

 

 From what I read, Seagate STARTED doing it for free...and then stopped.  They probably realized what a HUGE problem it was and said "no more." I couldn't even get a live person on the phone when I tried calling last week.  I didn't want to wait longer and risk the data no longer being there.

 Thanks for the info.  I dunno what I can do now.  i suppose email them and tell them of my situation?  They're not going to reimburse me, I'm sure.

Yeh, there's a huge problem with Seagate drives. Not sure if this will help at all

 Yup.  That's what happened.  If it's bricked, it's bricked.  You can't flash the firmware if you can't get any bios ANYWHERE to recognize it. :(

 

Anyway...hopefully after $600 +/-, I'll get my stuff back. :(

The firmware is NOT on the platters. Doesn't sound like they know what they're doing...maybe get someone else.

 

Yes it is.  Check out any thread about the Seagate 500gb drives.  I can give you the version # when I get home.  All of the drives from that line are crapping out.  :(  Here's a link with info: http://forums.slizone.com/lofiversion/index.php?t33993.html

 

Anyway...it was sent off.  $600 if they can fix it.  Waiting to hear back.  It arrived there yesterday.

Is anyone still seeding the Making of Raiders/TOD/Crusade and great stunts materials? My searches have come up empty. I used to have some of it but had a HDD crash a while back and lost what I had.

 

Thanks,

Rook

I will be re-doing my discs for those documentaries.  I did newer captures (from the laserdiscs) and I'll be putting extra material on there to fill out the dual-layer discs.
