Topic: I say forget the OOT on DVD, lets target HD-DVD/Blue Ray Now
Link: https://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/295977/action/topic#295977

This thread got me thinking, s I looked around while I was @ Fr7y's Electronics @ Blu-Ray and HD-DVD's. If I were to buy one or the other format during the format wars, I'd look at a few things. They both have exclusives that interest me, so either way I'm able to get only 50% of the movies I want in HD format. Although Blu-Ray may be ahead, I really wouldn't want to spend the extra $$ on a blu-ray player, seeing as it hasn't won yet. At $300 for the player, there are enough HD-DVD movies I'd want out there to make it worth my time to swing for it (if I had a 56" HDTV, lol), even if it looses in the end. I mean, I could get an HD-DVD player and buy 10 HD-DVD movies for the same price as the cheapest Blue-Ray player (PS3). I suppose toshiba's loss leader marketing may not work with everyone, but it's caught my attention.

Why not put out a "volume 1" so something is out there and then do a Volume 2 later if someone with content finally decides to contact you? Just curious

I agree, why not put out a "volume 1" and a "volume 2" instead of holding onto it until a 2nd disc is created. Also, are you trying to fit it all on a DVD5? In that case, why not put it all on a DVD9 instead of a DVD 5, or use a shinking program like dvdshrink to compress it so the last 5 minutes fit?

As for extra material, I know a few ppl in this thread have posted they found or have info, but got no response back. If you want more material, why not read up and ask them.

I hate to bring this back from the dead (I am sorry for doing so)...but dang, what ever happened with this? It was a great idea. So what the other ghostbusters DVD mentioned on this site. Both ideas seem to have died without a bang and with no further info. I just hate to see great idea's die a painful, quite and shameless death. Any updates, even if it ends up being "i canned the idea and the project is no more" would be appericated. Thanks

This sounded really neat. It's sad to see it never materialized, for whatever reason. If the original poster see's this, PLEASE either A) Finish the project and upload it to the noid, rapidshare it, something... or B) PLEASE upload all the material you have ot send it to a few other people in here who can and are willing to finish the project for you.

This was a great idea, I hate to see it die a crappy death like this. It's really sad that both these projects saw a sad demise. If either of the guys working on these see this, PLEASE give us an update, and if you've created new threads, a link to those.

This sounds sweet. I can't wait to see it. I know you said you'd Rapidshare it, and seed it if someone wants to torrent it. Please keep us updated on how we can aquire this once it's done and ready.

Alright, thanks. If I do decide to try it with a DVD9, I'll let you know how it went

It's my next project. I'll be cutting the TV scenes into the original Pan & Scan DVD release.

Hmm, next project? If it turns out anything like your current project is turning out, I can't wait to see it!! Keep us updated on this for sure!!!

You could probably use another program, as long as it creates ac3 and m2v files. SmartRipper is also in that first post.

As soon as I grab my Star Wars DVDs from my parents house, I will create a new disc since I lost the first one I made anyway.

Alright, I might have to give it a try. I'll have to DL smart ripper, though the dvd is copy protected,. Will that program work, or do I have to burn an unprotected copy using another program and then use smart ripper? If I were to put this on a DVD9, would I have issues with creating a layer break? I have a few extra DVD9's laying around, so that's why I was thinking about giving the 5.1ex a try. I'm not sure what I have that might create ac3 and m2v files, though I'd image I have a few in this mess of stuff I have aquired over the years (that I'm still trying to learn, lol). Sorry for the questions. I'm still kinda new at this, and don't want to screw it up. I don't want to end up with another coffee coaster.

You lost your disc? That sucks. At least you can create a new one. I usually keep 2 copies of discs. The original disc and a backup copy (just in case) that I put in a big cd/dvd case of backup discs. If you're creating a new disc, care to try it with the 5.1EX and tell me how it works?

No Problem. Seriously, your work looks great, and the idea of the composite is genius. I can't wait to see the end result of your composite.

On a side note, I'm guessing then that the Encore verison is my best bet to DL until the composite is finished? That sucks it lacks the pee scene though. Oh well, you know what they say. Beggers can't be choosers

Hey all, I have a few questions here. I DL'd the backstroke kit from the link at the start of the thread, and I of course have Episode III on WS dvd. After reading the MS Word how-to, I am a little confused on a few things though.

First off, why do I have to use the AC3 2.0 Audio track? Is there a specific reason I have to use it, or can I use the AC3 5.1 audio track? Second, since the how to tells me the files to rip in I use the AC3 2.0 track, how do I know what to rip if I use the 5.1 (if it even works).

Ok, 3rd. The dvd is of course copy protected. I do not have as SmartRipper or PGCdemux, and if they are not freeware, I am unable to purchase them right now. How do rip it, it being copy protected. I am familer with using decrypting programs like rip it 4 me, dvd decryper, dvdfab decrypter, etc. Can I just use a program like that? Is there a reason it HAS to be SmartRipper or PGCdemux? I am really confused on what to do here on this part.

Maybe I'm thinking too much into it, but if someone could help me I'd appericate it. This looks freakin hilarious. I'd love to get it put toghter so I can check it out.

Hey all. I just wanted to say I think this project is a great idea. I always liked waterworld. Probably cuz back in high school, one of my JV soccer teamates was the son of Robert Simokovic, a special effects guy in that film. He hyped it up to us so much, lol, it was impossible not to be pysched for it. No idea what ever happened to him, but I still like the film.

However, I have managed to miss the extended cuts when they have been aired. I think what McFly is doing is a great idea, and it looks great! I know that a few others have versions floating around at places like the noid, etc. Do any of you know which ending they have? Do they have the Everest ending, and are they edited for langauge/violence or un-edited? Sorry for the question, i wanted to figure it out before I snagged it

Hi all, I'm new to this forum. I've seen a few Blaksvn-Torrentz Releases in the past, and I saw a few preservations in this thread I'd like to watch, but they are on Demonoid. I noticed that Demonoid requires you to join to download, and that it has closed registration and requires an invite code to join. It there any way around this? I'm not sure what to do. I also wanted to get Borg Wars off there for a friends upcoming birthday, but again, I can't join Demonoid. Sorry for my noob-ness here, lol. Just a little confused. I couldn't find these on any other torrents, and I can't join Demonoid without an invite it seems, so I'm kind of at a loss for what to do here. Any help or suggestions are appericated. Thanks. BTW, I turned pm's on right after I joined, so I can recieve them.
