please be more specific.

is it worth taking to a preservationist the aforementioned 16mm trailer of 'raiders of the lost ark'.

or is it something that is not needed, and then i can scan it, convert to video, etc, without

worrying about messing up something historical..

you've given us no information about this. where was this trailer "aforementioned?"

So I'm in the market for a new printer and I primarily use it to print inserts for various DVD projects. Can anyone make some good recommendations?

I'd prefer one that will print directly to the surface of the DVD/CD as well so it would have to have that tray.

ok. we'll see what I can do. I won't go crazy but I'm definitely curious. Since I live in NYC... I'm sure I can find someone somewhere who will transfer this for me.

The HD DVD and Blu Ray versions are exactly the same, as is the case with any title that WB released on both formats.

That's not entirely true. There are different encodes on HD and BD and there are also various HD's that have more extras on HD than BD.

Either way, the officially released versions are going to be better than an MPEG TS file.

I just got a response from the owner and he says he doesn't know how long it is but there is a shot of leia french kissing chewie in it. Looking forward to that.

Was going to bid on it but if one of you guys does, then forget it.

I've got the set. I'm in Berkeley, though, and I take it from your tag that you're on the other side of the States.

Another Criterion that might be worth some work is Tootsie. There's a great commentary track from Sydney Pollack, plus a detailed documentary, a rather glitchy photo gallery, and a great outtake of "Dorothy" being interviewed by Gene Shalit. One could also consider incorporating the EPK material from the Columbia/TriStar SE disc set-- none of this stuff made it to the DVD.

Oy vey...looks like I'm going to have to tackle this...unless someone else is. Since I don't have either disc, I'm going to have to put some money down.

I think it comes down to space issues. they'd be a cool bonus, but if they'll compromise the quality of the other stuff, you shouldn't worry about including them.

On an unrelated note, I was looking through some of your older releases and realized I never printed the cover for The Game. I probably burned it to some CD-R somewhere, but after an exhaustive search, I couldn't find it. Could you or anyone help me out?

Maybe I'll just save them for their own DVD for myself. I think everything else is going to stand on its own.

I'm just a bit conflicted about how to deal with the new stuff for KOTCS. There's a TON of stuff that I recorded. Obviously there were a lot of appearances by Harrison on Letterman and shows like that but do I include them to be a completist? Or just keep it to interviews that are only about the film?

Removing film grain can be a no-no. Just ask people with Blu-ray.

Btw...i'm not excited at all for a DVD. I want a Blu-ray of it. Use the PCM track from the laserdiscs and we're all set.

how long have prints been out there?
and how long have people been making telecines/scans/etc?

i would hardly think they would start 'cracking down' just
because a lone 16 (not 35mm) print got out, and people
were playing around with it..

anyways, i'm keeping an eye on the auction, and it hasn't
moved much yet....i guess in the next couple of days
we'll know..

I dunno man. You tell me. If so many prints are out there and so many people are doing what we're trying to do, then why are we trying to do it in the first place? Shouldn't we just be trying to get a copy from one of the apparently "many" people that have done this before?

I'd be interested.

FWIW, I wouldn't make a big deal out of this. If we could get Empire and Jedi as well, we'd have HD versions of all the original films.

If Lucasfilm finds out what has happened, they may be even more aggressive about getting up all of these prints.

I guess baby hum's not around at the moment then? After all, you mean to match his covers, yeah? If you share the covers for the currently available discs again, I'll download and see if I could do some matching ones for you.

I don't even know where he is. he comes and goes. I think i asked him to help me out but he wasn't able to find his original files.

I have a copy of the Heroes and Sidekicks from (I believe) a French TV station. To be honest, there is VERY little in it that's not included in other specials. I don't even think there were any interviews that are exclusive. I was thinking of just making a montage of the footage and that's it. It's not worth archiving, IMHO, but thank you very much.

If anyone else out there has anything they think I might need or want, please let me know. I just got a new PC so I'm working on switching everything over. It's MUCH faster so hopefully that means i can pump these out.

I'm still looking for people to duplicate the artwork done for the other releases so if you're interested, please let me know.

I just got finished d/l'ing four Indy discs from RapidShare (thainks ThrowgnCpr!), and while they all have case inserts, only one or two of them have disc art. Is there any art for DF03 - Making TOD and DF05 - Making LC?

Disc art won't be there unless someone makes it. I hate disc art.

All of my discs, thus far, have been film specific.

1 and 2 were raiders.
3 and (whenever it gets done) 4 will be temple.
5 is last crusade and I have to see how much more Crusade stuff I have. I know there's a ton out there.
I have some "trilogy" stuff as well as a TON of Kingdom stuff that I just recorded.

It's all a matter of opening the floodgates.

Btw...I'm getting a new copy of the ABC cut from Beta. From the master.

I'd be happy to help out. Or i might do my own master.

I haven't been keeping up with this thread so I have no idea where we stand with it.

Arnie, you misunderstood the question. The issue is not whether they are burned or pressed, the issue is when were they were burned.

Say for example a band is starting out, not signed to a label, they burn their demo or promo stuff onto CD-Rs. If that band then goes on to become famous, what's to say someone couldn't make a copy onto another CD-R and pass it off as the original?

digitalfreaknyc, I don't know of any software that will tell you what you want to know. The only suggestion I can make is to look for clues on the discs themselves, for example, it they are on 74min/650MB discs they are unlikely to be recent burns.

In this case, I have a few Madonna promo CD-R's. What happens is that a lot of times things that are done "in house" are done on CD-R. THe problem is that once they get "out there," it's hard to differentiate originals from copies.

Sometimes they have stuff printed directly on the disc, sometimes it's a sticker. Sometimes it's plain. Such a pain.

I meant that as a bad thing of course... Shia as the new Indy? (pukes heart out)

Shia is a terffic actor but he's not as rough and rugged as harrison is. he still looks 17.

saw the movie last night and thought it was wonderful. seeing it again tonight. really enjoy Shia...but at the same time, he needs some years before he takes over.
