I would really love to get my hand on a copy.
Pal or ntsc.
Thanks for your help and hard work.
Hello everyone,
Thanks for this uber awesome project.
Sadly i don't own an spleen or demonoid account any hope to see it somewhere else? PM me please i have BitHQ invites to share.
I apologise to the admin if my request is not a proper one.
Thanks for your help guys.
MP sent ^^
Thanks for your futur cap and infos.
What you say about the uk video worries me a bit. if your english audio is missing bits here and here, that it's not running the same time as my uncut dvd there going to be a delay at a moment or another. I dont know how to make this work?
Have both audio and switch from one to another when it's needed to? How do i do that? Is it even possible? I'm just a noob when it comes to sound and video tweakening
I was planning to make an ntsc conversion of the dvd with procoder, don't know if it would have corrected speed/pitch.
Thanks for the link, not a bad comics. A bit too fast but nice set of extras in the end. If we get this project done it would be a nice extra.
Hello,
Thanks to all of you for your help and insight.
I'll answer some questions first.
The french PAL dvd is not a bootleg. It has been released years ago by an obsucre dvd editor. The kind of editor that release a movie with different covers or even different title. I'm not sure its a legit release copyrights wise, but it's official in France since you could have bougth it in a store. Its now out of print.
I can't upload to rapideshare or anything similar i don't have an account nor ftp.
As for the LD preservation, i'm planning on making a rip (for know i just made a test) but like i said i need to buy a capture card to do it properly. But i've got two problems, i'm out of money until early next week and i'm supposed to sell my ld player (dvl 909) next week too. So to make this work i need to buy the capture card this week and make the rip before the buyer come to pick up the Ld player. Since i know nothing about hardware i need to contact the friend who built my pc to advise me for a capture card. I will probably ask my girlfriend for some cash and stall the buyer a bit to make it work. No way i'm selling my LD player before i finished doing this ld rip and 2 others ^^

Thanks for the comparaison link, i just checked and the french PAL dvd is the same as the german cut (there is timing differences but it comes from the fact that my dvd start directly with the movie, the german vhs probably has some kind of logo intro or something) but its a perfect match cut wise.
This info also means that the idea to mix the french PAL dvd with the audio from my LD is not gonna work since they are different cut. (someone could probably do it using every sources available but i don't have the time neither the skills to do so, when my source will be available, be my guest...)
If i understood correctly the PAL VHSrip DVD you have is also the German cut but with english audio, right? If it's the case i can use the english audio track from your Pal dvd and mix it with my french dvd. I would just need the extracted audio from your PAL VHSrip DVD ^^
Could you post some captures from this Pal VHSrip DVD?
Thanks ^^
About my sources,
i don't know what is the source of the French dvd, could be a vhs master or the french LD (i tend toward the vhs master tape). Check the captures maybe you can work it out.
As for my US LD rip, for the test i made i used the "cinema" setting of the LD player. It gave nicer contrast and colors while i was watching it on my tv but on the rip it came out a bit too dark. So when i will do the real ld rip (when i get my capture card) i will leave off all of the LD setting to make sure to have a raw picture that can be worked after.
Here are the captures from both videos
Hello,
i wasnt aware thta there were different cuts of Moontrap.
I knew there would be some cuts from the uk version but didnt know that the US was missing dialogs.
From what ive seen (and i still need to watch the french dvd and us ld properly) they seemed to be qui te the same. If i remember correctly there was something about a voice over at the end of the credit that was missing in the US or something like that.
I will post screen from the dvd when i get home (in 10/12 hours).
The dvd is fullscreen and seems to be created from a vhs master (i dont know what it's called like but the master that was used to make the vhs copies), it looks very nice.
i begun to play with the LD, i made a rip of the 1 fisrt minute and it more dark and the tones are more brownish than the dvd. I worked it a bit with procoder, played with contrast and colors and its not bad. I think will probably end up ripping it completely and experiment with it. But before that i need to get a proper capture car.
For now i'm using a device that some kind of HDD internet tv thingie we have in my country that also allow to capture video from different sources.
Trouble is that there is no quality settings, when there is no action the image is pretty good but when there is fire explosion and stuff it pixelate.
I will post pictures from dvd and from the ld rip on my next post.
Hi,
i need some help with a movie that does not almost exist on dvd…
The movie is Moontrap a sweet sci fi 80 flick with Walter Koenig and Bruce Campbell.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097911/
I’ writing almost don’t exist because as i was planning on creating a rip from my LD i discovered a french dvd.
After tracking it for month i finaly found it.
And the image is quite good, better than the ld rip i had begun to work on.
But alas there is a catch.
The dvd only has French audio.
So does anyone has an idea about how i can add the english audio track i have (ripped from ntsc LD) to the french PAL DVD?
I 've no skills when it comes to this kind of thing so if anyone is interrested i can provide a copy of the french dvd and the english track from the LD.
Thanks
Ps : sorry if its not the correct area to put this.
