SO true....

Just buy a DVD player that plays PAL - Problem solved

KEEP IT PAL MAN!!

Again, i'm not going to tell other people to buy a new dvd player for one disc. That's STUPID.

i'll remove as much of it as i can. i don't know much about how it could possibly be removed.

A word of caution - I get an average video bitrate of around 9070kbps. I'm not sure, but I suspect that some standalones may have problems with this, especially when reading off a DVDR. The maximum allowable instantaneous video bitrate on DVD is 9800kbps. The maximum for the stream including audio, subtitles and overheads is 10080kbps. Clearly you do not have space for a LPCM audio track with this video.

I'd recommend you check the finished disc on a few players beforehand, it may be OK.

I'm not making an LPCM track. It will still be Dolby Digital.

No audio on that clip. I just wanted people to download the video because that was the major problem. I haven't gotten my copy of the laserdisc yet and once I do, I will sync that up.

Did you have a problem with my original release? Is this one different/better? Please let me know. That was the whole point of this exercise and it seems like people aren't responding at all.

With this in mind, is anybody able to send me OCP's ROTJ on a single layer disc (i.e Just the film)?

Thanks
JD

Yah. I'd honestly love to make a copy of BE for a lot of my friends but unfortunately it will do me no good. And with BR and HD-DVD out, eventually I'll have no need for a PAL player. I'd like to get everything in NTSC if possible.

Jambe,

It's not often I will sit through a DVD I PURCHASE on the day that I get it, nevermind one that's free and sitting in my mailbox.

I just sat through the entire set, extras and all.

I bow down to you, sir.

This is BY FAR the best fan-created DVD I have ever seen. BY FAR.

You should seriously be proud of yourself and someone at Lucasfilm needs to hire you for the next documentary.

There are little critiques I could make but to be honest, it was damn professional and thank you for putting, what must have been a massive amount of effort into it. We're all better off for it.

For anyone who hasn't downloaded it yet, please do. If you only download one disc from this site, this is it.

Have a great night,

DF NYC

Oh...and I also meant that there was a trailer for DT on the original "Honey I shrunk" vhs.

Guess I screwed that whole thing up, didn't i?

Still waiting for Tequila to respond though.

No. You mis-read. I have it taped off of tv from the original theatrical release.

There's not all that many versions...just 3...and none are drastically different.

As far as I know, the Unicorn was supposed to be in there from the beginning.

DJ

they couldn't find the master for the international version or else they would have been in the directors cut. remember, everything was rushed on it.

and as far as the voiceover was concerned, no one wanted it except the studio so there's no reason it should be in the DC.

I actually have a making of special for DT from the original release. Not sure if this is the same thing. I also have a trailer from the original Honey I Shrunk The Kids. Not sure if it's the same trailer.

I made a DVD of this plus the making of A League of Their Own (I'm a huge madonna fan).

Finally...for someone looking for a Dick Tracy trailer...I have one on VHS (under "Walt Disney Pictures" no less), as well as off-air recordings of a half-hour promo doc, and (I think!) an EPK thing that runs about seven minutes.

Tequila,

I'm looking for these.

Can you turn on your PM's please?

I don't think we're going to start archiving things like this...at least I'm not going to. There are a billion articles on Indiana Jones, a lot of which I have. I'm not going to even bother with this.

In other news, there will eventually be other Indy releases. I just want to tackle something else right now.

OK so i'm starting to get anal...and here we go.

I just bought the Blade Runner laserdisc off of ebay. I'm going to be syncing up the sound from the original laserdisc (with a higher bitrate) and hope that it works well. This should solve any problems people had with the sound of the first release. The other thing I'm thinking about is putting back in the shots from the International version of the laserdisc that were cut out.
Before you ask, i'm NOT putting in the narration again. I hated it on the original version and I don't care to have it on my version. I don't have a problem with the violence so that will be back in. I'm also leaving the unicorn in as well. And no happy ending.
So I am going to try and get this out. Barring any other problems, hopefully i'll get it out in the next month. We'll see.
