Episode III The Video Game - The Movie
Time
I just found a tutorial on how to convert PS2 games to mpegs, I haven't tried it yet but I may try for a NTSC version of the EP3 game. (if I can find some time to do it) Here's the text:

Introduction, for PS2 FMV they put the movie files as PSS file. So every movie file that resembles videos in games or maybe cutscenes/real time are in PSS files ( most of them ) Some DVDs the PSS files can be found if you explore it but some like FFX and X-2 they are hidden and you need to find them.

Let us start off by getting these softwares:
1)Isobuster ( for creating an image of the game ) and VirtualCD 5 for backup purposes
2)PSS Demux to demultiplex the PSS file to m2v, wav and ac3
3)Nova Software Extractor 2.4 to extract the files
4)Tmpgenc ( to encode the videos to mpeg ) or DVD2AVI+Virtual Dub ( for avi files )
5) The File Splitter 1.3 to split the image into smaller files.

1)First, you open up Isobuster to create an image of FFX-2 which is 3.7GB.
2)After getting the image, use The File Splitter to split them to 1GB each.
3)After splitting it, use Nova Software Extractor. In the format section below, click on .mpg only then select the file and start scanning.
4)When you get all MPG files, right click on the file and change the properties from .mpg to .pss and save it to a location. Make sure to check the box at the left side of the file.
5)Then use PSS Demux to demultiplex the PSS file into m2v, wav and ac3 ( Dolby Digital 5.1 sound )
6)Use Tmpgenc to simple multiplex the m2v and ac3 together. Make sure the Mpeg-2 plugin is not expired. If its expired, you can't use the ac3 format file
7)Or use DVD2AVI to convert the file to avi then use Virtual Dub to dub both the video and the wav file.

Info Wanted: 'Never Too Young To Die' - anyone interested in a preservation of this?
Time

As far as I know the movie “Never Too Young To Die” starring Gene Simmons (Kiss) John Stamos, and Vanity has never seen a DVD release. To the best of my knowledge this is the only movie Gene starred in that hasn’t been released on DVD. I have a VHS Full Frame rip on my Hard Drive waiting to be put to DVD. I was wondering if this was released on Laserdisc, Widescreen? The movie is terrible but it would still be nice to have as I have every other movie starring Gene on DVD. Also, I’d love to put some cool menus for my VHS rip but I don’t have the cover and can’t find a decent enough version on Google.

Help: looking for... SFX000, SFX001, SFX002 & Jason Goes to Hell: Extended

Part 5 Version 2 was just edited a little differently. It's said to have deleted scenes but I watched the original and version 2 scene by scene and didn't notice anything different accept a few scenes edited around differently. Perhaps someone with a better eye could catch the differences. It's suppose to be 10 mins longer with extra gore??

Part 6 tv had alternate "clean" dialogue, a different killing of the cop (part of the deleted scene in the boxed set) and a scene where the cops are trying to escape the prison cell.

JGTH has TONS of extra footage not in the theatrical or director's cut!

Idea: THE FUTURE OF STAR WARS PRESERVATION!
Time
I'm not sure, I know there are several different Disks floating around with different comics on them. I'd love to see the newspaper comics once again. I still remember a terrible joke from one of them: "What's Chewbacca's favorite beer? OldmillWOOKIE"
Rowman has recently done a good transfer of the entire Donny & Marie episode, for future compilations.


REALLY, OOH I'd Love to see that!! Where can I find it?

Oh yeah the anti-smoking commercial, forgot about that. And the Star Tours ride show with Buck Rogers in it.

Another Project I'd like to see is all of the interviews/special features on all of the different VHS/laserdisks put together on 1 or 2 Disks. I know the definitive LD has been well preserved but I haven't seen too much on the VHS tapes and their "special" features.

Idea: THE FUTURE OF STAR WARS PRESERVATION!
Time

I am very excited about the OT DVD release in September. I was never too impressed with the fan preservations of the movies. Though I still believe the XO project has some value and promise.

The things that allways sparked my interest were things like “Return of the Ewok”, Building Empire, Deleted Magic. I think there is still room for quite a bit more preserving in the Star Wars “extras” category.

My dream preservation would be a DVD set of ALL of the Star Wars related “Special Appearances” which would include:
Muppets: Mark Hamil Appearance, Droids, Chewbacca
Richard Prior Show: Cantina Skit
Donnie and Marie Show
Driods on Seseme Street
Donald Duck’s Anniversary Special with the Droids
Bob Hope Special with Mark Hamil
Boston Pops with John Williams and Droids
Drinking and Driving Commercial of Cantina
Great Space Coaster: Mark Hamil Special Guest
SNL: Carrie Fisher Hosts

Etc. I know some have been released on DVD and some have been preserved but it’d be cool to have them all in 1 set.

Also, there’s the Droids and Ewoks Cartoon Series that is allready in Discussion.

A huge organized set of the many “Behind the Scenes” specials and such. I know there are some floating around but some don’t have the best quality.

There’s a DVD floating of all the Star Wars Comics, How about one on all of the Star Wars Related Magazines? I have Tons of those: Starlog, Fantastic Films, etc (not all though)

I think now that the OT is finally released, if we can focus on preserving the rest of the Star Wars Universe, we could get the best quality of everything.

Yes there’s still more work in the Star Wars preservation universe.

I sent all my Friday the 13th tapes out to segaflip to put to dvd a LOOOOONG time ago. We got part 4 extended and the Friday TV spots on DVD, but never got JGTH extended. I also had part 5 version 2 and the TV cut of Part 6 as well. Segaflip, any news on the JGTH extended on DVD?

There's LOTs of cool stuff that didn't make the theatrical or director's cut of this movie and thought the quality wasn't great, it was definately worth watching.

The Mask - Workprint (Released)
Time
I always like "extended" or "composite" cuts as you can tell what has been added by the quality of the scene. I don't mind it at all, I'd rather watch as much of the DVD quality movie as possible and only have to deal with the shoddy quality of most workprints for the added scenes. It's just an easier way of distinguishing what was cut from the workprint without having to watch the whole, poor quality workprint and feel like you're going blind.
