If the special features disc is done in the same way as the Terminator 2: Ultimate Edition special features disc, a still frame/video index of great detail, including the visual effects houses, the post and pre-production processes, the shooting process, and the aftermath of its success (eg awards, box office) it could be a good download on the bit torrent sites.


If it's officially available, you can't. I've already been yelled at.

Because no one in R1 has them and they're not in NTSC for them.
That's not an acceptable justification.

If the material has been released on DVD, even if it means importing from another region, then you are expected to legally purchase it and use a region free multi format player to watch it. This statement has been reiterated several times now.

If you want to convert stuff to NTSC for your own personal use, fine. But if I see any discussion about distribution (torrenting, snail mail, etc.) then this thread will be locked.

If you do have any rare material that has not been released on DVD, then that is a valid fan project and the type of release that we would encourage on this forum.


Funny.

You didn't come into the Titanic thread when THAT was around.

This is an absolutely perfect idea especially since I own the Two-Disc Special Edition release. You might as well go dual-layer for this.


essentially, yeah. but i dunno if i'm going to do a dual-layer as they're more expensive. I might just do a 2 disc set and torrent them together.

Hello! I'm collecting everything I can lay my hands on Mission impossible 3 promotional TV footage. Stuff like official Electronic press kit, Japanese press conference, UK tv newsreports will be part of my collection. I'm looking for TV reports from shows like "Entertainment tonight" and "Access Hollywood", footage from worldwide premieres, etc. If anyone can help me out with this, that'd be awesome (I'm open for trade or purchase). Thank you!


Should be interesting...especially if Tom Cruise decides to continue his downward-spiral as a total nut-job.

The supposed parody is only listed as a feature in a USA release and according to DVDCompare, it was not included in any other regions. The four disc box that I have certainly doesn't have a trace of it.


Because no one in R1 has them and they're not in NTSC for them. Same with the Titanic bonus disc.

I've also read that a US release of this film came with some sort of an animated parody included among the extras. This could be a worthy addition, too.

By the way, if I were doing a fan edit of this, I would have faded out as the bus is coming towards the border, with Red's voiceover saying "I hope", thus ending the film as it should have ended and eliminating the painful sugary beach ending, glued on after some cretinous preview audience asked for it...


I'm not doing a fan edit. I'm just doing the extras. This will purely be for people in R1 that didn't get the extras, I feel. I'd love to add the supposed Showtime special along with the From Page To Screen if someone has them.

Anyhow, good news is a have a dvdr of this with a menu including the trailer, unfortunalty the feature is the not the best quality as the laserdisc transfer itself was a quite poor, drop me a pm if you would like a copy.

Cheers.


I have one, as I already posted. I wanted to make my own transfer from yours and have it be dual-layer. I guess we're back to square one.

Hey all,

I’m thinking of putting together a bonus disc for Shawshank Redemption. There was a bonus disc in the UK but not the US so I’m going to use that one. Does anyone else have any rare stuff I could use? I’m told there was a Showtime special with deleted scenes. Anyone have that?

Let’s hear your thoughts!!

US Market Set-top DVD players that can play both PAL & NTSC DVD's

Maybe in europe all (or most) PAL players can also play NTSC but maybe in the US NTSC players can rarely play PAL.

EDIT: The disc was region free, I made it myself.


I've had about 20 DVD players (I have 5 now and they ALL play PAL - 3 are region free) and out of all of them the only ones I had that could NOT play PAL were my Sony, Denon and a Pioneer. SO for the most part MOST DVD players DO play PAL - the problem is that here in the USA the players are lock at REGION 1 (Thanks MPAA!) and MOST PAL DVD's are not Region 1 but if the DVD's were region free I bet you'd see and hear about more players that do play PAL.

Arnie.d - In Europe are all the players locked for your region or are they mostly region free (can you play US retail DVD without a hitch)?



Saying you have 20 that will play PAL doesn't help if you don't tell us which you have. If you have all Cyberhomes and crap machines, of course they'll play it. Amusing that the ones you mentioned that WON'T play are higher-end players.

As for Rikters "most" claim, you can see the truth at dvdrhelp. They list all the ones that will be region free. There are very VERY few that will do the translation properly, regardless of what he tells you. I could provide a list of the ones recommended. The Oppo is definitely near the top of that list.
