 I've never understood the negative buzz for QOS, the film is just as good/bad/silly as Casino Royale and Skyfall is if anything more silly and less interesting (especially in the final act).

For me Casino Royale was excellent, Quantum of Solace okay and Skyfall rubbish.

The reason LTK didn't feel like a Bond film was because it was being too close to a Bond book (ironically considering the source material wasn't Fleming).

And his hair was too messy.

Converting .mt2s to iPad, iPhone, etc.
Time

Handbrake should be able to deal with m2ts files. Your quality settings are probably too high - try to find the h.264 capabilities of your devices (max ref. frames etc.) and check these settings. Google handbrake + device name and you may find someone has figured out the best settings for your device already.

If the m2ts continues to cause trouble, you can always use mkvmerge to convert to mkv without re-encoding before opening in Handbrake.

The US pilot was included in the Smeg ups and it was dreadful. 

Haha, it was definately a smeg up! I have no idea what they were thinking. Absolutely awful.

CP3S said earlier:

Definitely, man! That is annoying! However, I overuse that word big time, and get it right every time; so if you've read any of my posts lately, then you've probably seen someone get it right recently. 

Not every time it seems :p

Cropping HDTV Broadcast
Time

I am using Handbrake to make a smaller version of the Raiders WOWOW broadcast (which I would prefer to be cropped), but I am put off by the two black pixels on each side. How does this whatever-it-is (analog overscan?) affect the original aspect ratio? If I crop the top and bottom, should I crop the sides too, as Handbrake suggests?

Some are only available on newsgroups but most can be downloaded with jdownloader. If you want a specific Star Wars fanedit that is not available you could try asking TV's Frink in this thread:

I've had the oppertunity to view "The Complete Star Wars Encyclopidia 2008". Whilst being mesmerized for a while, there are only so many WTF descriptions i could stand. I bailed out when it states Boba Fett escaped from the sarlac pit naked, then became a mandalorian king of some sort there after...Eh?....'that' was documented??? Its no wonder some most dont take the EU seriously

Needs more delibrate spelling misstakes. You speld Boba Fettt's name right fuck Ryan out loud*.

*Please note, this is a coincidence. It has nothing to do with my earlier exasperation in Ryan's thread, which was my bad. I have nothing against Ryan, I promise! I simply refuse to self-censor my terrible comedy and thus decided to spoil it it with an explanation that is wordier than the original post.

I hope you read this soon Darth Solo because I will be back to edit the shit out of this post in about half an hour.

N.B. - Would be posted in "buzzed thread" if it could be trusted. *shiftyeyes* :P

Episode IV: A Ridiculous Hope

One of the first things I need to figure out is what source to use.  HD doesn't make any sense because I'm sure I'll be mixing in other sources that will only be available to me in SD.  Having said that, I suppose I could use Harmy's Despec'd Editions, rendered down to SD quality.  Other options include the 2004 DVDs (warts and all) and dark_jedi's GOUT sourced project.  Whatever I use, I'll be using the accompanying audio so that everything syncs ok.

While SE ridiculousness would be more... ridiculous, I like that you seem to be leaning more towards theatrical ridiculousness. A source without burned-in subs would seem an important consideration.
