Meedermow,

What happened to the NTSC version of this?

Please let me know.

Are there any new developments?

Nope. No one has offered up their laserdisc...if anyone has it.

A few of us have shitty bootleg versions but they're not worth torrenting, IMHO.

Can anyone tell me which trailer is on the ORIGINAL release of Ransom? I know the special edition has the “international” trailer. I’m looking to see if the original one has the original trailer.

It's ALWAYS been "father." Strangelove is wrong.

Anyway, since the source is 1080i, would a deinterlace make the final DVD look better?

DO NOT bother.

And I'd definitely do a dual-layer version. Flipping/changing discs is soooooooo laserdisc.

Yes, it's sped up.

Looking forward to this.

I'm not going to be re-torrenting my other version but I will be doing a new version of it and incorporating the "extra" footage from the international version and the old laserdisc sound mix as well. It's on the list.

Promo Only gets master tapes from the record companies.

I don't know the history behind this so I can't help you. Obviously there was alternate audio made for an official release, no?

I have been working on re-syncing it up with a lower quality video that does have original audio but not as good video quality for a similar project to yours.

Promo Only is a company that releases CD's and DVD's monthly for DJ's, clubs and bars. They're all mastered from original tapes and usually have fantastic quality. Same with CD's. However, subscpritions usually cost A LOT and you have to prove that you work in radio/entertainment industry.

For those interested in an NTSC version, I'll be having to do it shortly.

Because I'm now in HD-DVD land, i'm not keeping a player around to play a couple of discs so I'm going to have to convert any of the PAL discs.

If anyone is interested, please let me know.

Sorry sKot. I actually had the extras you sent me already. (I downloaded them from the VH1 website too). I'll try and make it up to you somehow.

One other question, which is probably directed more towards digitalfreaknyc: how did your capture differ from the TiVo version I have, and how did you manage to get better quality? No doubt about it, the footage looks extremely good.

--SKot

I dunno. Had I recorded with Dolby Digital instead of PCM, it would've looked even better! I used my stand-alone machine and that was done in the early days when I was recording everything with PCM. Had I used Dolby Digital, the bitrate would have been higher.

Meeder,

I'm no longer PAL-able, any chance of an NTSC version of this? with DGpulldown?

I'm gonna have to start doing the conversions myself at this point.

I'm not keeping an extra player for a couple of discs.

Question:

My new Toshiba HD-DVD player has zero problems playing "normal" copies of DVD's burned to dual-layer.

However, when I put in one that was authored by myself on DVD-lab, it almost always (except for one disc) seems to stutter right at the beginning of both layers. It will play for a second and then stop.

Any idea what might cause this? I've tried two different types of media. I'm thinking maybe if I burned at a slower speed? Can Nero still allow you to burn at a slower speed?

Everyone I knew was:

b) glued to their tv without even thinking to record
c) watching the actual thing from their rooftops

Do we have any quality files for this? 5 hours on one DVD is crazy.

I'd love the Letterman show from when he got back.

I was stuck in the city most of the day that day and didn't see anything until late in the afternoon when I finally got home. I never experienced any of that "live" on tv. It was real life for me.

The new version is totally different. I'd be interested in archiving this.

Honestly, you haven't listed anything yet. I don't see a set to put together until you actually have material.
