This looks like the best Episode II attempt yet.

We all know what a mess it is, so thanks for the hard work.

Here's hoping it goes up in parts or to Rapidshare (when I downloaded a lot of your earlier stuff the downloads crapped out or were corrupted when I went to unrar/unzip).

I believe ADM did a version of Aladdin and Doctor M did Little Mermaid - versions that utilise the new DVDs but fix up the changed audio and changed video respectively. I know transfers of the original versions as they appeared on home video might be better for purists... but I'd really try and track down an LD player or someone willing to capture LD stuff for you.

A long time ago I posted here on the forums about the Lion King LD set. This is the preservation I'd be most interested in. There are supplemental materials on the LDs that have not been released on DVD, you see. The "Making of" for example. Some legal trouble prevented them from including it on the Platinum/Masterpiece Edition. Plus, a lot of the Disney LDs (IIRC) have the subtle teaser poster images for their covers. I know Lion King doesn't, but it has a cool packaging design regardless.

Hello everyone. First, I’m sorry for not posting in the original Keep thread but I felt this should be separate anyway.

Now, I recently put together a DVD for a friend of mine (for xmas) which contained a number of “The Keep” related stuff:

The Comic
Some archived webpages
Several different versions/boots of the score
Youtube-sourced FLVs of the alternate ending and the trailer
Crappy DIVX version

The centrepiece, however, was the widescreen LD rip by MrBridger (that was the focus of the other thread). I made the stupid mistake of deleting it once burning and checking it myself. Turns out the thing stutters (sound-wise) on his player. It was probably my tinkering with cropping off the Barbarella trailer and adding menus that caused problems. I wish I’d left the MrBridger DVD on my hard drive and could burn that simply as it was. Ah well. (though if anyone has it and doesn’t mind sending me a copy here in Australia…)

Anyway, my point is that while I was searching I never did find decent quality versions of the alternate ending/s or the theatrical trailer. I’m after these as such. More than that though, I’m after the satellite rip that was posted on the eDonkey network. I have never been able to get that to work for me and when I tried the different links I was unable to get it to connect and download. The reason I wanted the satellite rip is because it appears to have much richer color than the LD print while being synched to the LD audio. I could burn my friend the MrBridger DVD with the SatRip + the alternate ending/s and trailer on another disc.

I’ve since seen the film and I too would enjoy the more pleasing image of this version. So, I ask, is there anyone who has or can obtain the satellite rip? There is some info on it here. NOTE: Mods, I can understand if you’d like me to remove this link. I did try to find a page that wasn’t like a direct link to a torrent or what have you.

P.S. Thinking about it… depending on the quality and other factors, perhaps we could use that color histogram filter Paul’s using for his vintage Star Wars edits and make the more detailed LD rip have the same color as the satellite rip? I don’t know… we need the satellite rip to be uploaded to Rapidshare or the like first.

If I remember correctly GM, you said you were compiling all your knowledge about the Star Wars scores. If that's the case, then man, I can't wait until you have some sort of site or printable PDF book. It'd be great to know all the different details about alternate cues, different recordings, mixings, John Williams' intentions, etc. I wish we'd see something like the Lord of the Rings Complete Recorings, with the annotated booklets. Though I know that'll never happen... one can dream though.

I'd like to again voice my desire for your other edits. The revamped Star Wars stuff and indeed any other Williams material. Now that I've got 40GB a month and a RS premium account (not to mention the writer's strike meaning I'm not having to keep up on a dozen shows a week) I'm getting many unreleased soundtracks and edits.

I too held off on grabbing most of your soundtracks with the hope that it wouldn't be long before you'd reupped them all done via your new method. Please tell me you're still planning on doing that? I've got a premium Rapidshare account now so if you used that I'd grab em all as fast as I could.

DarthBo, I have that set as well. I thought I had a track list for it - but I don't appear to, sorry.

So, it sounds like you're compiling the extras from the standard DVD 2-disc set that weren't included on the blu-ray boxset. I have the standard DVD boxset and I'd like to get my hands on this "Die Hard 4.1" disc too. I believe the forum came to an agreement that sharing these Walmart exclusive discs was okay. In which case, I'd hope that if you find it, you spread the love to the rest of us.

Adywan, I'm not suggesting any changes to your video. However, I just wanted to point out since you utilised that awesome planet explosion from Stargate SG-1 in your effects work... well, you may want to watch 4x11 of Atlantis. There's another cool explosion... ROTJ Death Star perhaps?

(Just kidding - but do watch the ep, it's a good one)

I don't live in the States so I can't help out, but I can mention that there were Superbit releases of Jurassic Park I & II in Japan. They had the same DTS track as the DTS editions stateside (as far as I can tell) and featured slightly better picture. For what that's worth, you can read about and see comparisons on DVD Beaver

I was unable to find the template. I did find the logo though (BabyHum's version). I suppose if I had screens/video of the menus (or the menus ripped as VOBs?) I could reconstruct them. Email me at klokwerk[at]gmail(dot)com - My PMs are unreliable and I couldn't post in this thread for a little while (some strange coding error).

I do consider the AVP franchise to be entirely separate to the Alien films. However, if there's material to warrant a disc of supplements for the two of those films, I'd be interested in helping put it together. It wouldn't have to be part of the AA series though.

I don't want to get off-topic slightly, but would it be possible to compile a list here of all the different cuts that are available for each film (besides the theatrical cuts I mean). I'm trying to track down all of these too and it would be a great help.

With Jaws 3-D, is the version you have a DVD-R with some extra features? The reason I ask is that a long-running backgrund project of mine has been trying to acquire the materials for "deluxe editions" of Jaws 3 and 4. Still, I don't think I have a copy of the anaglyph Jaws 3D here anyway (different place).

Just wanted to check in on the status of the Thunderball project. Still really looking forward to it.

Also, I found mention of a "A Life of Q" television documentary on Desmond Llewelyn. There was a torrent (long-since dead) which was a VHS-Rip. It seems like this was only on TV and/or VHS. Apparently it aired around the time of his death. Does anyone have this and/or know if its available on DVD at all commercially?

I was sure I'd read somewhere that you could give custom names to audio tracks. :S Maybe, it's only in a certain authoring software.

However, Mother's right, there should be a piece of software or an option in an authoring package that lets you pick the language and the type at least.

Griff, if you're okay with me covering blanks and postage then I'll take you up on that, if only so reave doesn't have to send international mail. Hit me up with a trade list at my aforementioned email address if you've got other stuff. Depending on where you are in Australia I might even be able to give you something in return.

reave, send me an email at klokwerk[at]gmail(dot)com if you're able to send me a copy. I live in Australia so I really don't mind paying for discs and postage (might be an idea to negotiate some other discs as it'd be more cost-efficient).

Yeah, it's sitting at my girlfriend's house at the moment, I couldn't take it the other day as I had to head straight to work. However, I'm just doing a first flick through checking out all the pictures and inserts and I'm somewhere around ESB. It's a great thing to see all this Star Wars paraphernalia that was around before I was born / when I was a kid (I was a 1987 baby).

I do hope there's some stuff worth using in there. Have fun reading/looking at it.

Jambe, my girlfriend got me the Star Wars Vault - so if you've not yet gathered anything from that source, I can take a look for you, maybe scan some stuff. There's some cool material in here.
