Like i said before this hdtv has far more detail especially in dark scenes.


Thank you.

And PAL may have 100 more lines of resolution but it also speeds things up. I'd rather have a great looking transfer at the proper speed than one that's just slightly better and everyone sounds like they're on helium. I'm not a fan of PAL.

All boxes are now REQUIRED to have Firewire. It's actually a law.

And thank you for backing me up. There is no way IN HELL that the PAL version is better than the HD version. I think you're mistaken, R....about a great many things.

Then you'd be the first to say that.

digitalfreaknyc, I would love to know what he used to capture it as far as hardware goes. I'm looking to get a good card that can do HD and the transfer on the DVD you made is incredible. If you get a chance to ask him, I'd be extremely grateful.


You don't need a capture card. You need firewire. I know everyone that does it just has a PVR and sends the file via firewire to their pc.

R--

Thanks for the compliments.

The documentary wouldn't fit on the second disc along with the other documentary. In order to fit all the extras on there, i had to put them onto the two discs. Secondly, the program that I used to make the MPEG version of the film has a set rate that only used about half of the second layer. Currently there is no way to use up any more space with that program. So I figured I'd push the other documentary to the first disc. Trust me, quality is VERY important to me as well but I figured, at this point it's just a placeholder until WB releases an official version and the documentaries are excellent as is the film at this point.

Mentor...

There is NO comparison. I'm not kidding you. It's night and day.

Can't you just reconnect that drive and direct that torrent to look into that file? Seems pretty simple.

BTW, would you ever be willing to rip the Jack Lemmon commentary from your transfer of Glengarry Glen Ross and up it somewhere as an MP3 file? The DVD is easily available, but I'd like to hear what Lemmon had to say...

Edit: And people are now finishing the ginormous torrent...


GGR will be a disc on it's own. The laserdisc had 2 different commentaries that never made it to DVD. I also have some interviews and commercials from the original release that I will put on there. Not to worry.

Yes...I just need someone to make 1 menu screen each for The Making of Superman, Superman 2 and Superman 3. Plus I'll need a cover for Superman 3 (already have one for the other two).

Thanks that will be great, but I was still wondering if you ordered from an online store that will ship Brazilian DVDs to the US though.


Yup. I'd have to look at the name of it though. I think the set ended up being about $40 shipped.
