I've thought of doing this...and it has been brought up. You just have to search.

There are no deleted scenes beyond what has already been put onto DVD. There's also not much one could do with what has been released.

Beyond inserting the deleted scenes, there's nothing to do with the film. It's pretty much perfect as it is.

DF, your release of Blade Runner is kind of a unique situation as far as fan-releases go, because you're using an HD source, so what I was wondering was, besides a standard DVD release, would it be possible to do an xvid release as well, but in a large filesize (eg 4.37 gigs), in order to preserve the quality of the source as much as possible? Just a thought.

I've never done Xvid. As far as I know, Quicktime is the only one that can do an HD version on one disc and to be honest, I have too many other "releases" i'd like to deal with. This BR thing just kinda happened quickly and I'm doing it quickly. Sorry.

I did the layer change. It actually happens on a fade out so you shouldn't even notice it.

An update:
I'm back from vacation and as soon as i get the menu screens for Blade Runner, I will start seeding it.

it's windowboxed.

From what im told, because it was one of the first dvd's they tried to compensate for overscan. Stupid idea.

looks like the Hooray For Hollywood won't fit on the 2nd disc. That's completely full. I will try and fit it on the first disc.

OK here's the deal, folks:

I'm not putting the Blade Runner discs out this week. I've been thinking a lot about it and rather than rush it, I'm going to do it right. I'm also going on a little vacation so I'll be back next week. It will also give Bunnydojo time to work on the menus and exclusive artwork. However, here's what to look forward to.

Disc 1
Movie (mastered from HD, 5.1 Surround)
Original Trailer
Director's Cut Trailer
"Future Shocks" documentary

Disc 2
"On The Edge of Blade Runner" documentary
"Hooray For Hollywood" special

Not sure what else on the second disc. I don't have much more room at this point. Might just put some DVD-Rom bonus features on there.

You should always continue the same discussion. Do a search for the thread so you don't keep creating threads.

But in any case, I picked mine up over the vacation and will be transferring all unavailable extras whenever I get a chance. It's not a high priority but it will be done.

This would be really cool. But even MORE importantly, the score-only footage from C3 would be FANTASTIC! That would be easy since it's just film clips.

I'm going on vacation this week so I'll try and get it upped tomorrow night. It will have the original trailer and the DC trailer as extras.

is great at responding to questions.

Also, i'll try and send some menus tonite, when i'm home from work.

yeah i just emailed him. i might just do a preliminary version with the program "as is" now. Seems like everyone has the same issue. They want to be able to have control over bitrate and size.

JPG's or BMP's are cool.

I'm having problems converting the TS to MPG. I was using HDTV2DVD and the resulting file just isn't big enough and the bitrate isn't high enough for my liking. I need to try and fix that. Is there another way to convert it to MPEG?

I'm adding both the original trailer (pretty beat up from VHS) and the DC trailer as well to the first disc. There will be a 2nd disc of extras. I'm not sure if I'll be releasing both at the same time or what.

The menus will be pretty lame but I want to get this done and out. What's on it is what matters.

The only version broadcast was the directors cut.

Personally, i'd rather never see the "happy" version with voiceover again.

It was a condensed version of the actual documentary with only the behind the scenes footage that wasn't seen in any other documentary. You should be using the actual dvd transfer of the documentary. digitalfreak's is the best one.

thanks!

Hey all,

Can anyone tell me how this is done? I'm not too newsgroup savvy and was curious as to how it could be done. I'm assuming newsgroups are the only way to get them.

If anyone wants to make a cover insert and menu screens, I'll give a free dual-layer copy for your troubles.

Email me for details.

And as someone who has used DL discs for a year or two now, I've never had the massive problems noted above.

Compatibility, yes. That's a problem. But they've played in every drive I've used them in. They work in 1 of my 2 players.

And I've only had one complaint from the people I've sent them to.

So YMMV. But like i said...send me 2 discs and I'll put them together and seed it.
