Now go and BUY the directors cut - BUT make sure you get the original also (it's WAY better then the Directors Cut!!)

RiK



Completely disagree. There is VERY little changed between the original cut and the directors cut but what IS changed is a lot better. I'll be posting my dual-layer version soon.

You'll just have to use DVDshrink or a similar program to shrink it down to the size you need. I know The Game will definitely be dual-layered. Not sure about any others.

Btw, if your source is VHS save your money and use a SL DVD. Encode the video at 1/2 D1, you won't gain any quality using higher resolution because of your source, but you can save the bitrate to get the full film on a single layer.


Sorry. No. Send the VHS to me cause I'd rather have a DL version of it, thanks. I'll choose how to "waste" my money.

And I have a VHS of the Blade Runner workprint. It's right from the master and it's actually from the late 90's. One place showed it again apparently.

As far as "smushing" too much material on one DVD, in this case it was used to fill up the extra space on the disc, the quality of the material was NOT compromised in any way. It was all presented as originally encoded.

People seem to forget how much material really fits on a single layer DVD. If encoded properly there's usually very little reason to go double layer with a fan project, as an entire film can fit comfortably on one layer if you don't have to go overboard with alternate audio and video. Anything else like extras you just put on another disc.



No...i'm not forgetting. The bitrate on your DVD was pretty low. It hovered around 5. I prefer it as close to 9 regularly as possible. If the space is there then it should be used. Also, the THX demo, though of good quality, is windowboxed. I have no idea why anyone would master this in 16x9 and not zoom it.

Rikter,

The version that is the composite has all the same footage yours has. However, the thing I like about mine is that all of the stuff currently available is in widescreen and the stuff that's not is in full screen. I would MUCH rather have it like this as there are lots of little trims and stuff that I probably would have missed if I were just watching a complete full-screen version.

I"m assuming your is in PAL with which we'd have to speed it down in order to match up to our NTSC versions. I'd love to attempt a good version of the composite again some day.

Also, there is a high pitch noise running throughout as well. Too bad, really.

THX, I wouldn't use the original laserdisc for anything more than the original audio tracks. I would use the new DVD for the video tracks. And then use Rikter's new version of the TV cut for the extra footage. But..alas...not enough hours in the day.

Just got my copy of the International cut of Superman The Movie and I really would love to torrent this but I won't. There are colored wavy lines throughout most of it, no chapter stops and pixellation a plenty. Maybe with rikter's new version someone will make a better version of this blueprint. But especially because most of it seems to be ripped right from the laserdisc, there's no reason for the quality to be pretty shitty.

Actually...Fight Club is still available at Best Buy as a 2 disc. Others may be as well.

I'd rather not do stuff that's available on DVD...OOP or not. I'll leave that to other people if they want to do it or not.

On a different note, a couple of people are complaining on myspleen to have problems with the stills/audio only portion of the 2nd disc. Is anyone else having trouble? I'm assuming not since I haven't heard from anyone else about it. I know that the second disc has problems in my older player but not my newer one. Not sure how to get around this problem. Let me know.

Hey digitalfreaknyc,

The discs look great! One question: I seem to remember an interview with Rob Bottin talking about the special effects. It's actually him on screen, not just the make up essay audio. Am I high or is that missing?

- Chumlee


You're high.

There was nothing like that...unless it was included in the EPK which is on the official 2 disc New Line release.

Strange considering they were authored by two different people. Methinks maybe it's your player. which are you using? do you only have one?


I'm using a Pioneer dv-535 (it's a European model). I have never had any problems with it before or after. The first Se7en disc works so-so. It gets to the menu, but then locks up. I can still click enter though, and when I do it seems to play the film with the commentary fine (I haven't watched the whole thing yet). The second disc locks up once the intro gets to the "A digitalfreaknyc production" bit. If I stick it in my computer, it plays the intro fine, but the menus are messed up and you can't tell what you're clicking. It's the same both when I try to run it from a burned dvd and when I try to run the files I downloaded directly off the hard drive.
Are everyone elses copies running fine?


apparently.

i've had no other complaints.

i had no problems on my pc or my newer player/burner which is attached to my tv. my main dvd player (which is older than both the pc and the recorder) has some problems playing the music tracks on the second disc but everything else works just fine. how old is your player?
