I've got some of the VHS videos, including the Vampire one was was never shown or something?

Jobel,

Open up your PM's. Maybe we could work together on those.

Yeah, DFNYC's was "better", but remember that Rikter's copy came from a source using older equipment...it was state of the art in 2000

Enh. Not really. My DVD recorder isn't much newer than that and it's what I used to make it.

I'd love to get some of the episodes that were only aired overseas as well. This might be a bit of a fun project....as if I don't have enough of them.

Isn't it only available on newsgroups? I thought that was the only way to get HD films.

If there's another way, please let me know

I love the Indy releases - keep 'em coming. The Making of TOD in particular was a fantastic release full of nice little rarities.

Has anyone compared Rikter's DVD transfers to your transfers, quality-wise? I had Rikter's two Raiders making-ofs already, and I haven't seen your versions yet.

--SKot

I never downloaded Rikter's so i have no idea what his quality is like. Keep in mind that one of the Raiders discs has a bonus featurette that's not on Rikters.

I have every aired episode.

The released episodes are all combined into 2 hour movies. They've cut out the bookends with the older Indy.

I was thinking of putting them all up on myspleen.

if it's stuck at 99.9, isn't it being seeded now? Not even I have a complete 100% copy, for some reason.

Yes I did. Thank you. I've been so madonna-d out at this point. Tonight is my 5th show this tour and in the last 8 days. I'm exhausted.

We all know that LD xfers are ungodly soft and have terrible colour balance, so even if the LD fact sites are correct about it being a 2:35 originally - it matters none. You just can't compete with 14.25mbps/avg. video, period.

And being that the capture contains only one audio stream, no menu, and no extras, a dvd conversion will look simply spectacular. The entire capture will fit on a DL dvd with only ~8% bitrate degradation (given the proper encode). Scoff and whine all you want, but some of us who own anything nicer than a 1024x768 CRT and a 1960's-technology tube television will sit back and enjoy this classic in all it's HD glory. Is your hd/sdtv 2:35:1? I didn't think so

I have a proper 2.35:1 version of it already, thanks. I'll stick with the PROPER aspect ratio. And no, it's not Super 35.

And I have an HDTV...and an HD DVD player.

Let's knock off the childish comparisons of systems.

Exactly. *sigh* This sucks.

However, I'll try and take a look at it tonight and let you guys know if it's cropped or not. MONSTERS-HD is fairly good about showing things in their OAR if they possibly can.

So did you check it out?

let us know. i doubt they made a new transfer though.

If they did, hell, even a non-anamorphic version would be better than the one from the laserdisc.

Just a question: why did you start out with AVI files? Why not MPG2?

I'd be willing to seed as well.

I'm tempted to get that one on hometheaterforum just to do this. With my luck, I'd be screwed when they decide to release it as I'm selling the laserdisc and I'm out $100.

Oh hell yeah. You lose half the picture. It's HORRIBLY cropped in the full-screen version.

Sure...hd is nice but if it's not in the proper aspect ratio, it's only slightly a step up.

Besides, those Voom channels are very rare. Few people have them.

BOTH Blu-Ray and HD-DVD? That's a little weird, isn't it? I would have thought that by that time one format would have demonstrated a clear lead on the other.

By when? The end of the year? At the moment, HD DVD is clearly in the lead with the sub-par Samsung player and discs that have come out.

WB hasn't announced ANY discs for BD as of yet. I'm all over the HD DVD version when it comes out.

If you don't care, then just get one of the bootlegs that are already out there.

I'd rather see it in the proper aspect ratio than not.
