Anyone have the original version of Jaws on DVD? Can you tell me how many trailers are on it?


Yes, I've got the original 25th Anniversary Collector's Edition of Jaws.

I've just checked, and it has 3 trailers

1)The original release trailer (about 3:20 sec).
2)The teaser trailer - "See it before you go into the water" which doesn't have any actual movie footage.
3)The "Special Preview Trailer" re-release trailer for the 2-Week only engagement.

Also it has 10 deleted/extended scenes.


Cool. Thank you. There were 4 trailers on the original laserdisc and I added another one from VHS.

Dracula is done. I will be seeding as soon as I can get an updated version of the artwork from Bunnydojo.

I'm cutting the dolby surround version of the movie because there's really no reason for it and I shrunk the video so the first disc will be single layer. The important part of it is that the commentary and effects/soundtrack is there. Think of this as like my Se7en Criterion version.

I've been doing trial and error on different applications and I think I'm close. I think I've figured out the problem that had halted my authoring and I might be close on a breakthrough on the 24fps progressive mpg encode. I've learned so much about encoding the last week or so it's scary. I know exactly what I want it to do, and I think I almost have TMPGEnc bent to my will. TMPGEnc is just so freakin' slow that it takes forever to see the results of the latest trial. Each one gets closer.


I'll be doing my version this weekend. I've just been working 2 jobs the last week and haven't had time. Sorry!

I'll update as things go along.

I did. I'm getting one thing from him but he doesnt have it. And dumba$$ me completely remembers watching it on NBC and not recording it. I actually hadn't seen ET since the 80's at that point. Once I saw the re-release, I totally fell in love.

As has been mentioned before, with film material at 25fps, it's the same thing.


I don't get it. So just because it's 25fps, it's automatically 1080p?


No, not quite, but because it's 25fps, there are no issues with 3:2 pulldown. At worst, you have to worry about 2:2 pulldown, but since both fields come from the same frame, it looks progressive (i.e. no combing). There are no video frames constructed with two fields from separate film frames, as there are in ATSC/NTSC.

Also, with h.264 there's a PAFF encoding scheme which effectively allows you to actually encode 25fps at 1080p. From what I've read, SkyHD and Premiere both use this kind of encoding. Don't know all the details, but that's the gist.



ok thanks

Updated first page list.

Planning on 2 discs of bonus features for Shawshank Redemption as well.



Just noticed this on the upcoming projects list. What specifically do you have planned for these bonus discs?


I don't think that's something i'm going to torrent.

The UK version was 3 discs and I was going to make an NTSC version of that bonus disc full of interviews. Since it's available commercially, it's not something I'd want to make public so I should probably take it off.
