Far be it from me to barge into this, but I think Raul's desire to upload the PC game definitely falls into the spirit of this site. I did a quick search around some sites and aside from Amazon's used list, nobody lists the BR game at all. I've checked Best Buy, Staples, CompUSA, Circuit City, and Gamestop. I'm sure you can also find it on eBay, but I'd hardly call that retail.

I guess my point is that Raul has a point. Here we are, espousing the need to preserve all these laserdisc sets because they're not available on a "modern" media and yet when someone new attempts to do the same thing with something else, they get crapped on. In either case, what we're all doing is probably illegal. Let's face it, anybody that downloads any of the laserdisc (or VHS) preservation sets that does not own those laserdiscs (or VHS copies) is breaking the law. This is even reiterated in the nfo file of every set that's released.

That's all I really have to say on this one.

Even if it was captured uncompressed, uncompressed != hidef. Uncompressed is just that, uncompressed. So you'd end up with a multi-gigabyte file that you can store on a blu-ray or HD-DVD disc, but it wouldn't be playable except in raw form. The only way to get it into hidef format would be to upsample it. But even with that, you're not going to get something better than what you started with without a LOT of work (if it's even possible).

Basic rules of computing still apply here ie; GARBAGE IN == GARBAGE OUT!

The Holiday Special would be completely unrecognisable if it were upscaled to say 720p or 1080i!


Not to mention, would anyone really want to see the HS in HiDef? I had a hard enough time using a single DVD for it. I really don't think I'd be inclined to use a Blu-Ray disc for it at all.

I've burned all my DL discs with Nero 7 using DVD-ROM mode. I burned two as DVD-Video and both failed to play in my standalone (a Cyberhome player). I create the project, create two folders (AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS) and then just copy all the files into the VIDEO_TS folder. Works like a charm every time.

I do also use the verify written data option, just in case.

Just watched some of ROTJ v2.0 DL. Does anyone else notice flickering from time to time on it? It's especially prevalent during the end montage of Anakin and Luke's life. It seems to happen just before every cut, but it happens during other scenes as well. It also seems to happen at other points in the movie, mostly toward the end (though I haven't watched it all the way through yet). Interestingly enough, the flicker doesn't show up when I play the DVD at 1/16 speed (I was trying to catch it since I thought it might have been leftover frames or something).

My DVD player is a Cyberhome CH-DVD 300. I burned it onto Verbatim DVD+R DL, once at full speed (8x) and then again at 2.4x. So is this just me or what?
