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.

Hey there,

I have most of the discs that this seller/trader has - I slapped proper menus on all of them so as to try and get a few more out of him. Off the top of my head I have the 3x Jaws discs and the 2xET Discs. 12x Star Wars Archives and also the Lucasfilm Legacy, 2xRaiders and 2XAlien discs - pretty sure I've got a few of the others ones too.

I'm sure there must be a better E! capture out there. I don't know if your discs are the same, but it breaks up quite badly in places. I think even someone on here has an Ebay bought "original" that was an Awards/Screener version - or something, will go back and see.

Other than that - can't wait to see this and the Dracula discs


Meeder....that's what I have/had. The screener. Mine is taken from that.

What is on the ET and Indy discs that you got from him? I might be interested in those...PM me.

I made him put the "In The Teeth of Jaws" and Martha's Vineyard piece on one disc. That's what I'll be torrenting.

I recorded the From Page to Screen documentary myself so I'll be using my version. That will be disc 2 along with the trailers that weren't included in the 30th anniversary DVD edition but were on the original DVD, laserdisc and another one from VHS.

Sounds good. So, can you refresh us on what's actually on this disc? Can I finally get rid of my "Jaws In-Depth" disc?


No. The first one will be the E! True Hollywood Story.

Nah, I never got anyone with a better source for that in-depth disc. I may torrent that so that the person who's selling them for $30 each will hopefully not be able to do that any more.

Dude

Woah.

PAL to NTSC is MUCH much easier than that. I've done a ton of movies. Use TMPGenc. Don't go to AVI.

There's really no reason to do any of that.

Hell, you don't even have to convert the sound to a wav.

I could do the conversion of the main movie in one night if you want me to send it to you. 4gb. done. You take care of the menus.
