I feel for you guys that have had bad/dodgy/burning problems with Episode 2 - ADM has done a top job in skilfully editing some of the original problem/'icky' scenes.

For some reason when I used dvdshrink 3.2 (with Nero 6 Ultra) I often had a similar problem - along with the dreaded 'cyclindrical error' whilst encoding - so went back to using dvdshrink 3.1 (with Nero 6 Ultra) - and havn't had a problem since.

Also installed Media Player Classic as my Windows Player 9.0 was being a pain in the arse playing certain dvdrs - again - since I've been using MP Classic there has been no problems.

Unsure exactly why these two programs have made such a difference to burning and watching dvdrs - but it's done the trick - maybe it's worth a try for others?

Good Luck

What killed Mace - the Lightening or the fall?

Time
I was watching Episode II last night (or rather ADM's excellent 'Path To The Dark Side' Edit) and saw the great distances 'jumped' by Anakin off his speeder and onto Zam's ship...

It obviously got me thinking about Mace's 'demise' in Episode III - if not killed by Palpatine's lightening attack - he could have well survived a fall of such height - or have used 'The Force' to grapple onto something or slow his descent on the way down (no hands withstanding).

So is Mace 'really' dead, if so what killed him - the fall, the lightening or a combination of both? Or is he living as a chef with Obi-Wan's mate, Drex?

Watched the Ep Edit 'Path To The Dark Side' tonight - a welcome insertion of Padme addressing the Senate just after the assassination attempt on her life - and if IIRC a very nice piece of editing involving the Yoda line 'seeing you again brings warm feelings to my heart' and Padme's reaction to this.

The ill-at-ease elevator scene is gone and the dialogue trims throughout the Edit gives it a more potent pace. The insertion of Obi-Wan at the Analysis Archives and later the Jedi Library will also be a welcome addition to those without the GL dvd deleted scenes - and also gives heed to mystery of Jengo Fett.

As with the MagnoliaFan Edits scenes at Padme's family home and Obi Wan with Mace at the Jedi Hangar also feature well.

ADM has also made good use of silence to enhance the Padme/Anakin courtship by the lake - and then the fireside - these pieces of editing makes Padme's falling for Anakin at least a little more believeable

I watched Vergence Of The Force tonight - was very impressed. Far less JarJar, a less lucky Anakin in the Naboo Starfighter and great alternative editing and score for the PodRace, as well as dialogue trims throughout - liked the way ADM did the Gungan/Droid battle too.

Certainly up there in quality and execution with MagnoliaFan's Edits. Great work ADM.


It has whetted my appetite for Ep2 - Path To The Darkside...

^ great site - cheers for the heads-up, RichKS

Will be stocking up on the r300 ink - the remaining black ink in my printer has taken a battering of late - all due to the superb covers posted here


(my conspiracy theory that all of the cool cover creaters have shares in black printer ink companies remains... )

I have received my 5 dvdr discs of ADigitalMan Edit goodness this weekend (many thanks Metallaxis) - as part of ADM's cool pay-it-forward system of distribution I'll be forwarding a set of these discs to the first three people in Europe who ask me for them - so they can make a copy and pay-it-forward in turn...

Have come to the conclusion that 6-in-1's are better - especiqally as all 6 Star Wars are now finished... (MagnoliaFan and ADigitlaMan Edits aside)

1 disc on the inside of the front, 1 disc on the inside of the back, two flaps with a disc each side. Quality built stuff. £2 delivered each from ebay.co.uk - probably get a better deal if bought in bulk too.

Hopefully these 3 sparse 6-Disc DVD Boxset inksaver covers looks a little more finished - they probably need a better 'the complete saga' logo between the front cover star wars logo and the 6 poster pics, and I'm not too sure on the title crawl on the back covers either...


The covers below has been uploaded to the 'Upload' section of Grisan's superb cover collection site.

If anyone has the crawls for the MagnoliaFan or ADigitalMan Edits I'll gladly do a set for those sets too


Any ideas, suggestions or criticisms are MOST welcome.

Once again, many thanks go to Fritzdog, Gundrosen and Rikter as I mercilessly butchered their inksaver covers to come up with these... Please check out their sublime covers too...

I've done a 6-disc boxset dvd cover - though have run out of ideas for a front cover. Preferably something that fits in with most of the 6 films.

It is an inksaver cover - with thanks to Fritzdog, Gundrosen and Rikter - whose previous sets I've mercilessy ripped off

(the blue vertical lines on the spine of the cover are from the dvd template and will be removed)

though 1st one to say 'give up doing covers' will feel my wraith...

The Amazing Claude...


It was opening night at the Orpheum and The Amazing Claude was topping the bill. Hundreds of people came from miles around to see the famed hypnotist do his stuff.

As Claude took to the stage, he announced, "Unlike most stage hypnotists who invite two or three people up onto the stage to be put into a trance, I intend to hypnotize each and every member of this audience."

The excitement was almost electric as Claude withdrew a beautiful antique pocket watch from his coat.

"I want you each to keep your eye on this antique watch. It's a very special watch. It's been in my family for six generations." He began to swing the watch gently back and forth while quietly chanting, "Watch the watch, watch the watch, watch the watch . . ."

The crowd became mesmerised as the watch swayed back and forth, light gleaming off its polished surface. Hundreds of pairs of eyes followed the swaying watch, until suddenly it slipped from the hypnotist's fingers and fell to the floor, breaking into a hundred pieces.

"Shit!" said the hypnotist.



It took three weeks to clean up the theatre

ric - I'd laugh m8, but what what we get in the media about Brazil that seems about right


One day when the teacher walked to the black board, she noticed someone had written the word 'penis' in tiny letters. She turned around, scanned the class looking for the guilty face. Finding none, she quickly erased it, and began her class.

The next day she went into the room, and she saw, in larger letters, the word 'penis' again on the black board. Again, she looked around in vain for the culprit, but found none, so she proceeded with the day's lesson.

Every morning, for about a week, she went into the classroom and found the same disgusting word written on the board, each day's word, larger than the previous day's word.

Finally, one day, she walked in, expecting to be greeted by the same word on the board, but instead, found the words:

"The more you rub it, the bigger it gets!"
