The South Parks guys wanted to do just this, they got a leaked script of one of the upcoming disaster movies and wanted to remake it with marionettes.  They were told, probably not a good idea, and then came Team America.

That's what the Frink does.  This forum accepts it.  If you don't it's going to be a constant problem, with you.  Every forum has their own policies, and certain types of discussions can take place in some and not in others.  This place is significantly more open to all varieties of SW chit-chat locations.

I'm interested in the tf.n location, Frink is not.  Frink will continue to make non-sequitors, that's what he does.  There is no 'done' with Frink.  Great memory/search skillz.

It shouldn't be a surprise for you that many people around here came from tf.n after conversations were moderatored out of existence there.  But there are some who do take part in conversations at both locations.  You decide who you pay attention to.

Go back and read the next line of the statement...

-Aside: Yeah should have phrased it, paid for the music they listened to.  The logic I was going for was people have 'x' amount of money to spend on entertainment and 'y' amount of time to consume it in.  In the 70s early 80s (pre-explosion of home video), home media cash expenditures predominantly went into the record industry, throughout the 80s and into the 90s that began to shift as more and more video content became available to the public.  the DVD shift partly is one of the factors which tipped the scale away from the music industry.  Why listen to an album when you can consume the entire run of a sitcom, or why not watch your favorite movie over and over instead of your favorite music album.  This argument overlooks many significant factors.  insert grain of salt.  Most making this statement from personal observation, I used to track down weird sound acts, and now I don't.  One topic of interest was replaced by another because of a variety of factors. Similar thing with the public, tv/movies replaced a significant portion of music's audience time, because home viewing became more commonplace.  End Aside-

Now drop in the ability to make stuff, and music/tv/movies get tossed aside as more people make objects.  The Entertainment Industries will lose to the Engineering future.

...yes partly.

Some other random thoughts.  Stormtrooper armour, it's not a big seller, so why travel and put up legal arguments in another country for the right to shut down this guy's operation?  Copyright Law has much of it's origins in Britian, what happens there on this issue will spread across the globe.

So the question for the rest of us, is how to keep this stuff legal?

It's possibly even earlier, maybe even 2002.  Found some mentions in late 2003, and one from Jan, 2003.  Seems there was newzbin (.NZB) and binnews (.BNS) similar indexing idea, challenging each other.

The ReScene folks at least note when their developments happen, v1=2008, I guess because of the newzbin lawsuits that .nzb info is gone.  Can't find any mentions on groups.google either... reTarTed

Lucas understands the near future of computing and tech things.  All those figures which created his empire is under the threat of becoming obsolete if rules are not set up so that copyrighted/patented/whatever system they can think of is not in place when 3D printers become commonplace.  Just like music to napster and video to p2p, 3D models are the next thing to get consumed.

This "sculpture" debate is just the on the books legal wranglings they have to navigate.

Yes that Limewire thing is ridiculous, it's amazing that all the entertainment industries can easily ignore that it was their infighting which partly caused the drop in the other.  People stopped listening to music because every tv and movie suddenly became cheap enough to consume in mass quantities.  and even that argument is not right, as more people have heard more music in the last 15 years then probably ever before.  The problem is money is not being moved around, and that's making everyone nervous.  and when they get nervous they'll let things slide or get out of hand.  The world needs an easy (and not heavily taxed) system to move pennies.  Trillions of penny transactions.

Yeah same here, watched in doubletime to get a general sense and took some caps of odd colors, but probably better to ask what scene did you use to 'set' your color adjustments.  Not worth commenting on random scenes which got thrown off.

But will anyway,.... some random things which came to mind.  3po looks more 'white gold' then 'golden' overall.  In the Blockade runner, never noticed how different white these randomly placed 3 horizontal circle things are.  In the shot of Vader picking up Antilles, there's the boot shine and it's almost all blue.  After picking up R2, the Sand Crawler at dusk/night shot has a really deep blue sky.  But felt the shots inside the Falcon look great, probably one of the areas where you were using to set the colors.  As Kenobi deactivates the tractor beam, the matte painting gets a very different color scheme then the on set stuff.  Ben's lightsaber's color in the Vader showdown is something people will bring up.  Multiple shots in the Death Star sequence go purple, for instance see when Vader's tie fighters get shot.  Can't complain about the 'face' shots they look true.

[*note* for the record, i'm no color expert, first saw Star Wars on a black and white majorly cut Library 8mm, and am on an uncalibrated monitor.  That aside. Am still confused by all the talk of the color blue since 2004. See the issues, but not sure what to do to solve them. *end note*]

Fine, fine fine.  Here's a proposed ammendment to the "This Thread Is Currently About..." thread:

In the worst case, without knowing which software originally made the torrented image, synthesizing it becomes next to impossible.

So whom ever knows how to reach the geniuses behind PARs, SRRs, etc.  A routine/program to take a torrent file hashes? compare that to a recreated .iso and it cranks through the 'dates' until it finds the original match to make the torrent 'work'... program.

On your SWBegins example, does this mean that Jambe didn't create an .img, he burned everyone separately (from the video_TS folders), or does every burn no matter the original file automatically have the date of finish stamped into it?  So only mechanically pressed discs will have the same date and be exact copies?

Seeding BH008, except for the .nfo of the torrent upload. So if you've got it, see if we can get 100%.

Let us know if the first/last sector trick works.  Might as well try it.

Content question: some of the Star Wars torrents have a .nfo for the specific myspleen upload.  Had in the past gotten the discs from usenet and seeded on the spleen.  So can re-seed up to 99.9%, the communities going to have to figure out how to find those old .nfos.

This is a general thing for the continuation of these files. Balancing the original creation verse the ease of distribution verse the quickness of watching. Each has merits but they adversely affect the other characteristics.

...being behind the advances, how to deal with the old data and the new ideas. ReScene sounds great, didn't know what they were for, have been repacking... so many wasted hours. When did the .srr and .sfv files come out? (ok see it was late 2008) Was trying to track down when .nzb's came into existence recently and haven't found anything certain, but leaning towards early 2003...
