Time
R2, 3P0, Yoda, Darth Vader went over to Jabba's house to watch the movie, since he's never seen it. It would be cool if they could comment on it, but not sure what they'd say. 3P0 would have to translate for Jabba and R2.

3P0: "This is the part where they erased my memory. Probably a good idea, dad. If I knew the whole time that you created me, man I woulda freaked out. R2, how come you never told me?"

R2: "Beep beep beepity beep"

3PO: "Stop laughing at me! Yes, it was a good thing I didn't remember being 'naked' on Tatooine. Stop bringing that up R2"

Vader: "Damn you, 3P0! I told you to stop calling me dad! I'm not your father. Yoda is!"

Yoda: "Up Shut you! Build him I did not. Burned up the black suit and helmet Luke did, thought I?"

Darth Vader: "He did, but you think I only had one? Woulda got pretty smelly. Besides, the droids and Jabba wouldn't be able to see me, now would they, being dead and all. I'm glad I get to be a kid again! Ha, ha ya old fart!"

Jabba: "Hehehehe! hjkhjaiosdhjkasdhklasdjl;askdjkasl;dk" (something in huttese)

Yoda: "At least my tail stepped on by Han was not. Supposed to be dead, aren't YOU? A secret Jedi Hutt or something were ya, Jabba?"

3PO: "He says he is Larry the Hutt. His brother Jabba and his other brother Jabba were the ones that died."


OK that was completly pointless...


Yeah, I suppose. If I go that route I won't include the original menu. The first post here says which track is which. The first BotW track is the original, the second one is with the word "poop" instead of the "f" word. I wasn't sure of a good way to label them on the menus.

Yeah that's it. Supposed to be an MST3K type thing. It was made by using the font "Star Wars Kit" from dafont.com at a really really large size. It's just like 5 letters that stay on the screen for 10 minutes (the longest a subtitle can be displayed), that keep repeating. Could be useful for a MST3K-like commentary of some kind?

I need to shrink this down myself. Let me try what I mentioned in PM there Art.

The 4th one has one subtitle displayed every 10 minutes, for 10 minutes. Choose it, then start the movie from the fox logo. Wait for something to happen and it should stay that way for the entire movie.

Hey everyone- do the above! I don't know how useful it is, but I basically just wanted to see if it could be done. I'll tell you how it was done later.

Hmm. I haven't noticed the 9 hour thing before. Wonder how that happened? I get it too. Let me try to make a new IFO file for this and see if that fixes things.

So do you think I did a decent job, having never owned or even seen the "official" backstroke version? And without watching it as I did the project either? I still have seen only bits and pieces. How's everything line up for anyone that's watched it all the way thru?

EDIT: Damn! I stupidly deleted all of the files I imported into DVD Lab Pro. So I'd kinda have to start over if I wanted to re-author. So.. anyone smart out there wanna figure out how to fix these little bugs?

A few reasons for this: #1 most important- this PM zion sent me

"marioxb,

Your new project sounds great, and I much look forward to you finishing the subs.

However, I must caution you on your intentions to release this as a DVD. If all you are going to do is add subs to the ROTS DVD and possibly a new or modified sub menu, this is not enough to call this a fan edit. And thus, I would caution you about announcing or speaking about releasing a DVD version of this on the boards.

Rather, I would advise you to either revise your thread to say you are just working on the subs, or release this as part of a ROTS fan edit. If you don't have any intention of doing a fan edit yourself, you could try teaming with someone else who has done/is doing a fan edit, like Hal9000 or ADigitalMan. Collaborating on a project isn't anything new. Dark_Jedi and segaflip have teamed up for releases, as well as Digitalfreak-NYC and Baby Hum.

Jay has tried to re-clarify the rules so that the site doesn't look like a hub for obtaining bootleg DVD-rips. I hope you understand, and best of luck to you on your project."

Doing it this way makes sure everyone owns the actual DVD and isn't just out to get something for nothing. #2: It makes the download time much, much less.


As for ThatArtGuy and anyone else having problems rippping, why not use SmartRippper? It will give you one video file and one audio file if you do it properly.

I could give out the srt file, but then ypu wouldn't get my nifty menus. What do you guys think of them by the way?

Anyone else having any problems, other than with DVD Shrink? Yeah, same error I got. An older version of DVD shrink said I didn't have enough memory availiable.

As for Windows XP- that's just what I have and I haven't tried anything else. You need NTFS because FAT won't hold a file larger than a gig or so- I found out when I had Windows ME.

Oh, the button on the subtitle menu is to resume the movie, so it'll play whatever you played last. Speaking of which, anyone notice what the hidden features were? Besides the songs on the menus, there are two other unlisted extras.

Just wait a little longer. It still works, I just tested it.

And please, when people start getting this completed, can someone help me figure out how to shrink this puppy down from 5.78GB to fit on a single layer? DVD shrink won't work for some reason, and I don't wanna pay for clone dvd.

Also, could some kind souls help me finish getting Star Wars Heroes and Villians from myspleen? Stuck at 95.4%! 5.6 freakin percent, c'mon!

EDIT! Got it! Thanks people!

Uh.... good question. I don't know. #1- there is no reason anyone should have a fullscreen version, but yeah it will probably work. I'll test it out on some other fullscreen movie I have to be sure. I don't see any reason why the NTSC full and wide versions would be any different- timing wise, but I can make sure the subtitles will be in frame and stuff. As for PAL, is there any easy way to change the frame rate of a subtitle file? Maybe if I had a copy of an srt file from the PAL DVD I could work something up. Now I must sleep. Just got off work and very tired..

Help Wanted: 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?' Laserdisc Footage - censored scene

I used to have the LD of this (the 3 disc? I think version), but I think I lost it in a move. The Vista Series is great! It has the shorts that were included with Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, Dick Tracy and A Far Off Place.

Hal 9000. If I find the LD and no one else has it that actually, unlike me, owns an LD player, they can borrow it to transfer. You of course need to re-incorporate the pig head scene, somehow converted to widescreen. I also think it would be cool to have an option to play "Somethin's Cookin' " without the rest of the movie.

There was an old one disc release you probably forgot about.

And yeah, I have a tv airing that has the pig head sequence back in. It's fullscreen of course, just like the footage on the DVD, but I believe it gets cut off on the DVD. I thought about transfreing the LD to DVD, but there really isn't anything missing that you can't see without going frame by frame, is there?

I'm also just got done making a Dick Tracy DVD that has Roller Coaster Rabbit shown before it, like it was in theaters. I was looking for a Dick Tracy trailer, but I don't think there are any availiable anywhere.

font with music notes to use for subtitles?
Link
https://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/196386/action/topic#196386
Time
Anyone know of a good looking font to use for DVD subtitles that has musical notes in it? Like on some DVD's when they subtile the song, there is a musical note before and after the line. I searched, but I can only find fonts that have ONLY musical notes. What I need it a font that has the full a-z upper and lowercase and numbers, etc, but also just ONE musical note, oh yeah, and is free.

He has been moved by the concept of his own metaphorical death, that little zinger Luke hit him with just before they went to see the Emperor.

Little Shop of Horrors original ending (Released)

It's working out rather nicely. Just got some pics from ocpmovie that I'll put on here, as well as his suggestion to include the soundtrack. I didn't really like the menus and stuff on the 1960 movie, so I thought I'd make it work with the 1986 menus. I originally said I was gonna have bloopers and newsreels that were on the "Hollywood Classics" DVD, but found out they weren't actually related to LSoH, so they're gone. I can't wait til this is done myself!

It's funny how things happen sometimes. I find my VHS tape of the ending, ocp gets some pics, and the play is coming here to Columbus, Ohio next month.

Cool, thanks! After looking at the menus from this, everything except the original ending w/ and w/o commentary is on the other release. So what I will do when I finish downloading is create:

A disc two for those of us, like me, that only own the one-sided no-ending re-release. To fill up a DVD-5, and not duplicate features, it will have the original ending with and without commentary from the original recalled release, plus the original 1960 version of the movie with Jack Nicholson on there as well, and the trivia from the "Holywood Classics" release of the 1960 movie, with a few more questions added by me. You will have to answer all of the questions correctly in order to view the ending.

It's almost finished, all I need to do is add the ending I get from the torrent, and create new scene selection menus.

Without your help, mr-bridger, this wouldn't have been possible (except in a crappy DVD to VHS to DVD+RW to DVD-r transfer of the ending with no commentary). And thank you, ReverendBeastly, for I wouldn't have thought to get the footage from someone who actually owned the disc! Thank you very much!

Not sure how my version will be distributed yet.

Though it's just side 2, which is all I wanted anyway. I am actually almost done with this project. I just need the ending footage from the DVD and possibly the menu. Right now I modified the 1986 LS menus to kinda work for the 1960 version. It's gonna have all of the features from the "Hollywood Classics" collection- trivia (upped it to 10 questions instead of 5), bloopers, news reels, and of course the alternate ending of the 1986 movie. I'm figuring out DVD-lab Pro pretty well. A much better program than SpruceUp, which I had used previously. I just wish I could find anything having to do with the cartoon Little Shop. I kinda remember the theme song, it was a rap:

Little Shop, Little Shop,
I wanna go to the,
Little Shop, Little Shop
Alright it's time, for me to bust a rhyme
I'm comin' at ya, like toon style,
so get ready for a funny bone overload..

That's all I can remember. It was sang by the plant, Junior.
