Really. Do tell.
It's impossible to "rip" bit for bit a copy of a laserdisc.

I didn't mean for this to come across as any sort of "race" to get them torrented. Clearly, if yours are better, get them the hell out there. I'll even torrent them for you. Plus, it will save me the trouble of torrenting mine. But if yours end up having questionable video quality and mono sound, I will definitely do better.

I'll be torrenting the E.T. documentary very soon.

No way to rip DTS tracks.
Laserdisc is an analog medium.

I'll definitely get around to doing it and mine are from my masters.

I have to go through my old Star Wars VHS compilations (of which I have 8 or so) to see what of this stuff I have to share with all of you. (And especially those of you who can turn VHS to AVI or DVD).

I tried to contact that guy about his Indiana Jones stuff but I guess he's disappeared. If anyone knows where he is, please let me know.

That's what I started to do. I'm just throwing out all of my VHS that I no longer need and that doesn't have anything substantial on it.
I did find the original NBC promo's for the first airings of Empire and Jedi

All are 2 hours. But you can easily cut them down. I know they used to show clips from the films when they "went to commercial." I know a lot of them were done in the mid 90's because they would sell the letterboxed versions of the trilogy a lot. It seemed to be a big deal for them. Unfortunately, I think I threw out all of them except for this first one. I just found it the other day. I'm getting rid of all my VHS at this point.

I know Mark Hamill and Anthony Daniels did a few of them...along with Steven Sansweet. They would talk about the movies and the products, etc.

"Idiots?"
I assume you're referring to me for simply questioning his intentions?
And name calling? That's not the best way for a "mod" to act.
I wasn't looking to insult Neo. I was actually being sincere in my response. The holier-than-thou attitude of this forum seriously has to go.

I'm not whining and saying "I want it now." I just think it's kinda crappy to post pics, clips and whatknot on a website all the while claiming that you're not supposed to have a copy.
Hell, there are things I have that I promised not to ever distribute and I don't. I don't brag about having them on the net either. It's just bad form.
