OK, I am finishing creating my special surprise audio track! A few people requested it, so I thought, what the heck! What it is, is the Japanese voices combined with the English version music. I just need to find a way to combine two audio tracks into one for where I have to re-dub lines. For instance, I want to take a song and have Japanese voices talking over it.

Cool! Those all sound like great ideas! I don't have DL, so it should be two DVD-5's. Right now it's at a little under 5gb. Will I lose a lot using DVD-shrink on it? Probably nothing noticable, right?

It will definatly be two DVDs though. I'd have to go back and add new menus and everything in order for all of the bonus features to be on the same disc, and I really don't want to do that. Not to mention I can't do dual layer discs.

I can't wait for everyone to see this and tell me what they think. I think it came out rather nicely, if I do say so myself. Everything is how it could have and should have been from the factory.

Burning a test copy right now.

I found another two edits that are appararantly only on versions intended for sale in the UK. It's not on the "UK version" of the new "unleashed" DVD. During the scene with Dee Jay, when Guile tells him Shadowlaw is after him, Dee Jay says something, then later when Bison and Ken show up in the plane where Honda, Ryu and Guile are, Guile has a line. Here are the American and UK (from my VCD) versions of these two lines:

Dee Jay:
"Yahoo! They are some badass mothers. I am honored."

Guile:
Bison, I'm gonna rip your lousy heart out, you filthy bastard!

BUT, in my UK Video CD, the lines are:

"Yahoo! They are some badass mother f%@kers. I am honored."

Bison, I'll rip your f#@king heart out, you filthy bastard!

Anyone else notice this? Until now, I thought the bad language changes were only rumors.

That's incorrect actually.

You are correct, in Japan the boxer is M. (Mike) Bison however,

the guy with the claw is Balrog,

and the bad guy leader is Vega.

Personally, I prefer the US names since that is what I knew first. The English dub subtitles and audio use the US names only (duh). The Japanese-translated subs (as shown in the screens on the first post), you can choose how you want them named.

Again, if I did that, for instance, in my screenshot, "You're Balrog!" would move along with the song lyric.

However, I did figure out how to itallicise only some lines in DVD-Lab, after studying the help file for the 100th time. First post updated with new screen shots of the song lyrics. That is the same way Karyuudo did it, and I am satisfied now.

I wish it was that easy. It's because some (most) lyrics (such as in the screenshot I posted) also contain dialouge in the same subtitle frame. I don't know of any program that allows you have different colors of subtitles in the same line. In fact, when I created the subtitles in DVD-Lab, they were all yellow, since that is another limitation of the program. I used DVDsubEdit to change the "location" subs to white and to add the black box behind the English ones, as well as moved the subtitles to where I needed them.

I did find a font out there called Bach that has regular text as well as musical notes. However, I need the font to be Arial so that it maches the official English "location" text. I finally did figure out how to use DVD-Lab to have some subs in itallics and some not.

An easy way I've found to do subtitles, is simply converting the audio track to a wav and importing it into a program such as cooledit. The times match up perfectly with the ones in the subtitle files, unlike say using PowerDVD, where the times are not as accurate.

Then, you'd create a text file with the extention srt and input the subtitle in this format:

1 (the number of the subtitle)
00:00:04,284 --> 00:00:07,583 (point where the line begins ---> ends)
Watch it, bub! (line being spoken)

That being said, I might give it a try when my SFII DVD is finally done.

'Backstroke of the West' with retail DVD quality : FINISHED & RELEASED

Well, I happen to like the blurb on the "official" DVD cover for this disc posted in the first post.

"Gold and Ratio Tile, the brother in elephants is similar. far off against Space General and big in a daring attempt to rescue Mr. Speaker. In his lead to the evil augury, Gold is made by the Presbyterian Church and joins the West to guarantee his cuckoldry the safety. While the fate of the Milky Way hangs in the balance, Gold and Ratio Tile battle as a disable person must solve."

But seriously, someone can just take this here DVD label and replace "Revenge of the Sith" with "Backstroke of the West", leaving all of the Chinese text. I'd do it, but I don't have the necessary tools at the moment.

With the Donner cut of Superman II, will there be any need for the RIC cut? I mean, will probably all of the scenes used in the Restored International Cut also be in the Donner cut?

After buying the boxset, getting an NTSC copy of the Superman: The Movie International Salkind Version, and Supergirl (I wonder if the new Supergirl DVD will be the same as the Limited Edition 2 disc release?) and Superman III TV version, that's pretty much everything, right?

Then all we need is a US Theatrical cut of Supergirl.

Well, yeah. I guess thats what Im saying. I guess it all started with the original Resident Evil DVD. I swear there was the tinyiest bit chopped off the top when I had the DVD player set to 16x9. No matter what setting I tried on the TV would fix that. There were some words on one of the computer displays in the beginning of the movie that were cut off. I changed the DVD player to 4x3 Letterbox and voila, nothing was cut off. Ever since then, I just got used to the idea of always seeing black bars on widescreen movies, the same was as I always have with the rare widescreen VHS. It just seems more natural to me to see the movie with the black bars there. I guess Id (what causes me not to be able to type apostraphies? Everytime I type one now, it opens the "Find on page" box of Firefox instead of typing what I wanted it to, this happened to me a couple of times. I also cant use the arrow keys.) prefer smaller bars than larger ones, but for some reason, I just would rather have some bars be at the top and bottom, rather than none. This only goes for movies and shows in the widescreen aspect ratio. For 1:33:1 stuff, I really dont care how it looks as much (as far as being stretched which I honestly dont even notice anymore) as long as I am seeing all of the picture, hence I watch it streched to fit the screen with nothing cut off.

As far as why I got the widescreen TV, my mother and I do (did, she passed away in 2003) crazy things like that, like just buy something "just because". I dont do it as much as she did, but the main reason I chose widescreen, because I knew it would be the norm in a few years, and I do love widescreen programming. Plus, I had no idea it would cut stuff off. Again, grew up used to the widescreen bars, so maybe its also nostalgic to keep the bars there, much like everyone and their holy original original trilogy. (In case you guys forgot, Im one of the 3 people in the world (ok, probably just on these forums- I still know that at least 80% of the population probably never even REALIZED the movies were changed in 1997. Those being non-Star Wars freaks non-internet saavy people) that prefers the extra special editions, but still has a place (all the way in the back, behind the couch) in his heart for the originals.

But I'm not talking about 4x3 movies (sorta). I'm talking about letterboxed (or animorphic) movies. I just like seeing the bars there on the top and bottom (not on the sides). Seeing the bars just makes me happy and reminds me that I'm watching in widescreen. As far as watching things that are not in any type of widescreen ratio (such as old movies and most TV shows- well more for me than for some since I never splurged on a HDTV box for my HDTV- isn't that silly that you have to buy a dumb box to watch in HDTV on an HDTV? Seems like buying a blender- only it doesn't actually blend unless you buy the blending attachment.) Anyway, which is pretty much pointless for me anyway- since for the most part TV, unlike movies is "throwaway" and I really could care less how it's presented. If I really want to watch the TV show proper, I'll buy the DVD box sets.

So it really doesn't bother me EVER about non-animorphic. Ever since I first discovered the joy of widescreen, (probably with the VHS Star Wars Trilogy- the one with the holofoil cover and From SW to Jedi tape) I always tried to track down the widescreen version of movies. Which, having never owned an LD player and never owning DVD until The Matrix was released, was pretty difficult. Eventually the black bars grew on me until I really didn't notice them. Many years later, I got a widescreen TV and now I can't watch movies without seeing the bars there. It just feels more "cinematic" to me with the black bars. I tried setting my DVD to 16x9 every once in a while, but I just hate it. It feels like I am missing something. And I swear on 1:85:1 movies, a little itty bit of the top and bottom is missing. I noticed this with Resident Evil. I can't be bothered to constantly change the settings, so I just leave it set 4x3 letterbox all the time. I really and truly love seeing those crazy black bars framing my movie. I know I sound like the total opposite of "Joe-six-pack" who loves his full screen movies and hates the black bars, but I really would rather watch movies on my widecreen TV showing some sort of black bars at the top and bottom. I don't even care if the bars are larger than the picture, or how large the bars are, it just makes me feel better knowing I am for sure watching the movie the way I am supposed to, in widescreen. Part of this could be that I watch full screen in stretched mode (which I don't notice the stretching anymore)- the mode where absolutly nothing is cut off of the screen. If I don't see the bars, I kinda think I may be watching the movie in full screen by accident. I also would rather have subtitles always appear in the bottom black box.

So anyone else actually prefer seeing black bars framing the widescreen picture, even on a widescreen TV?

Multiple Subtitle Streams

Well, I didn't make this one myself, but you might want to check out videohelp.com. Search for guides about subtitles. You have to rip the dvd to your hard drive, of course. You might want to search for subtitles online for what you are wanting to sub to see if someone else made some already. If you can't find any and you have to make them yourself, this is what I did for the Roger Rabbit short, Roller Coaster Rabbit. I ripped the audio from the DVD into an ac3 file. Then I converted it to a wav file and imported it into CoolEdit. Actually before I did this I wrote down all of the lines from the cartoon. This was easy because it was only 7 minutes long. Using cool edit, I made a note of the time when each line started and ended. It doesn't have to be exact. I used cool edit because it was the only program I had that could give me the presise times I needed. When using something like Power DVD to get the times, it didn't match up for some reason. Then I made the subtitle file using subtitle creator. Now I assume you want to subtitle something that in Japanese into English and you probably don't know Japanese. You'll have to figure that part out yourself. I have a friend that knows Japanese that is going to help me subtitle the bonus features from the Japanese SFII movie DVD.
