I've paid forward stuff that never got paid foward to me in the first place but some how I got a hold of it at my own expence and then I paid it forward anyway because I was asked to., I've held my breath, Passed out and held my breath again waiting for these. I dared to hope even for someone to post the mp3s. But no!
What's a guy gotta do to get these, kill some one? Just kidding

I just downloaded Building Empire and I am going to make one change before I burn it to disc.
I hate Real meadia files with a passion. I have never liked the way Real Media does things, this goes way back quite a few years. I converted the Real Media file of the Wampa Attack video that was in the video subfolder in the DVD ROM folder to a standard mpeg file. I thought I would pass that along in case anyone is interested in that file so they can do the same.

The bad news is space and money limitations meant that I recorded them off-air onto VHS at SLP, the 6-hour, lower quality mode. I recorded them (ususally) without editing the commercial breaks, so there's bound to be some goodies in there, too. The shows include many of Harlan Ellison's commentaries, the John Carpenter commentary regarding "They Live", lots of Bob's Basement, etc. The SF Vortex episodes include J. Michael Straczynski's appearance.

I also have several hours of FTL Newsfeed, the one-minute newscasts from 150 years in the future SFC used to run during commercial breaks.

I do not have a capture card yet, but one is in my not-too-distant future and I have lots of VHS that's getting the preservation treatment. I'm still on the fence between an MPEG card (to generate DVD-ready MPEG) or an analog-to-DV card, which would allow for many more editing options, but would mean re-encoding to DVD-ready MPEG. I tend to want the option to edit more freely, but would welcome opinions on the matter.

I volunteer to help with the transfer. I have a bit of experience doing vhs tapes to dvd. Turn on your PM.

Anyway, I'm glad you guys are doing these restoration projects. If the studios refuse to release the movies in their true and complete, original, or best form, the fans are the only hope for film lovers. You'd think not releasing stuff goes against a positive business model for the businesses they're in. Evidently they should be in another business.
Cheers!

That would of been me. This forum is where I hang out. Glad to see you came over for a visit. I sure have been having Fun with those purchases.

Mitch, from what I've read the 35mm prints were mono, and the 70mm were 6-track, so a 5.1 remix wouldn't necessarily be wrong. Warner has a very good track record with their classic releases, so I'm optimistic the Oscar-winning sound will be done right.

Suntech, I hate you for the simple fact that you've seen this movie on a big screen. Because it was Cinerama, from Hell's heart I stab at thee. Hmm, I might have to arrange my own big-screen showing some morning...

KHAN!!!

Well maybe if we all wrote Paul Allen and Warner Brothers and ask them to do a special screening to promote the release of the special 2 disk DVD, we could all meet at the CINERAMA in Seattle to experience it on the only remaining Super Cinerama Theatre in the world

I believe Grand Prix was shot in Ultra Panavison which was a 65mm print. I think the prints were blown up to 70MM. Ultra Panavision started out as MGM Camera 65 then in 1962 Panavision got the full rights and renamed it .

I love this movie. I saw it in CINERAMA back when I was a kid. The scene where the camera is inches off of the ground going 150mph then it gently lifts up into the sky looking down on the track. Makes your stomache all queasy, it was great. The best you can do nowadays is find some one with a HD Projector and 100 inch screen and you might see it in 1/100 th scale. It will be out on DVD real soon. Turner and Warner has it on the list for later this year.

Yes, but only if the cable company does not set the "Record Once Only" Flag.
It's a Motorola DCT6412 III via Firewire using CapDVHS emulating Panasonic DVHS deck on my pc.
It is hit or miss. There are some TV series that I used to be able to capture in HD right to my PC that I sometimes can't record. There is controversy on this and it is I have not kept up with all of it. I can do all of the SD programming just not all of the HD stuff.

At the moment, as far as i know, there are no dvr's that will output an anamorphic signal. The only boxes I know that do it are the Pioneer but I dunno if they have a DVR. The regular one does. Obviously you would't get 5.1 on that either...just 2.0.

So right now, you'll just have a better looking (hopefully) non-anamorphic disc.

MY HD DVR will do it, only to a HD Digital VHS recorder, with exceptions. The content can not be "Flagged" as "Record Once Only". My cable company sets that "Flag" on almost all HD content. Sometimes if I am lucky the flag is not set and I am able to record to my PC running "CapDVHS" a D-VHS emulator. The file can be converted to a DVD complient file that will output anamorphic video. I loose the 5.1 Dolby Digital audio though, as my DVD recording software converts it to 2 channel Dolby Digital and PCM during the transcoding. The process takes a lot of work and a long time so I only do it once and a while. The Last one I did was The Frighteners .

So of course I had to check out what's on this tape.

Anyone in LA have a PAL conversion VHS deck I could look at this on?

Guess I'm gonna put this tape back in the mail and send it to Babyhum to do his converting wonders on.

I can do it. Check your PM

It is in widescreen but I do not know if can be made anamorphic or how.
Soundtrack is 2 channel. It was on a cable tv channel and I recorded it to my pc from my HD DVR out the S-Vidieo connection. I have no equipment to record digital audio. I have not even seen any sound cards that will allow you to do that.

Today I picked up the Special Wide Screen Collector's Edition Lasedisc of Alien. I just couldn't Help my self. It was just sitting there in the used laserdisc bin at my local used record store. The Big Box looked so Cool that I had to have it. Not sure if it has any thing on it that is not on Qaudrilogy or Legacy box sets. I like the Booklet that comes with it I can actually Read it. It sure looks nice on my shelf. I got that and The uncensored LD of Roger Rabbit. To quote Trotter in Let It Ride "I'm having a very good day".

Somehow I missed the fact there was a newer 2 disc release. I must have been abducted by aliens because I do not know how I missed that.
It seems that Disney redid the infamous scene on the 2nd DVD release by re-animating Jessica completely, covering her totaly. In the 1st Dvd they just put underwear on her. But you all knew that already, didn't you?

I'd like to get the laserdisc and sync up the audio from that since so many people complained...but I don't feel like re-buying it. If anyone can capture theirs using PCM...i'd be open to doing it.

Other than that, I have some personal projects I'm working on. Not sure which I'm going to tackle next. Maybe one of the Jaws discs since they won't be that difficult.

I'm a little lost. What do you need, The Audio from the Criterion LD ? I can Send it to you.
