I’ve finished my DVD of The Incredible Shrinking Woman. It’s only taken me about 3 months but I am done!

This DVD is made from the HDTV broadcast a while back. It is NOT in 16x9 widescreen but it is widescreen, just full screen/letterboxed with awesome quality.

Here are a few screencaps from the DVD:

Up next is Vibes in the exact same format. Hope it’s helpful!

I need, basically, ANYTHING Hi-Res from the movies Vibes and Incredible Shrinking Woman to design DVD covers for them. If anyone can help out I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Well all that I had left was just the music video, the dual layer version was unrecoverable...I still have my single layer version though.

I managed to get everything fixed on my end but I wanted to apologize to everyone for letting you down about the Legend of Billie Jean but a big thanks to DJ for getting it out there. As it turns out, it wasn’t my internet that was messed up, it was my hard drive dying on me…and that sux so much ass! I didn’t even really notice that my computer had slowed down until Geek Squad pointed it out for me and found bad sector after bad sector on the hard disk. I had to start over from square 1. Again, I am really really sorry about not getting the torrent seeded to 100% but it was obviously out of my hands. Maybe I can actually be of some help again later on!

It's my fault guys, my internet connection has been down to a crawl and I am still waiting on them to come out and fix the problem. PLEASE be patient, it took forever for this site to load just to post this and let you know what is going on. I'll start everything back up as soon as I know something, just bear with me. Thanks so much!!

Alright, distribution has began on this....you can find out more at www.torrentbox.com by searching for Legend of Billie Jean....just know that seeding has began and I ask that if u choose to get this, please continue to seed because I am only going to seed for a few days until others are seeding as well. Don't just get the file and then stop the program from running. Be nice! That's all I ask. Thanks!!

Okay, the mods can delete the other threads about this DVD because this is it! I finally made a successful and beautiful transfer of The Legend of Billie Jean, and not only is it a beautiful transfer, it’s Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound and PERFECTLY in sync. I dropped all other methods of doing this DVD that was told to me and what I’ve read online and researched my own method to see if it would work and by golly it did! The only bad side effect was that it took 17 hours to create a DVD from the TS files. I’ve done a test burn of the DVD with just the movie and it looks and sounds phenominal. I am now compiling the movie with the menu and the special features and should have it seeded by or before 10 tonight. Watch this thread, ignore the others about this movie, and I’ll come back later tonight with what you’ve been waiting for. Peace!

Zeromancer, you can contact me directly through email at jjn13@yahoo.com and we can go from there....Hopefully this can be done and finished with this project asap and everyone will be happy, including me! LOL

Sad news. Unfortunately my conversion turned out to be audio out of sync with the video and I just can't seem to figure out any other way to make this happen. If someone wants to offer up a step by step process, I'd be more than happy, otherwise all I will have is the DVD recorded version to release until Zeromancer gets it out. Preferrably DJ could offer me step by step process to get it right.

Lemme know so we can get this out there already! LOL

Okay, we are in business. I have the original .ts files and have created a single .vob file from those which in turn DVD2AVI created a .d2v file that TMPGEnc can recognize to covert to standard Dual Layer DVD format at 8000kbps video and 384kbps audio. It's converting as I type this and will be finished in 11 hours, and I've got a fast computer so that's a bit longer than I expected. I've also added color saturation and audio amplification. Looks 100 times better than my previous recording.

I'm excited about this!

Zeromancer, would you like to collaborate on this project? Seeing as how you can bring a cleaner transfer to the table and I am very good with menus and special features, I think we could make one hell of a DVD here. After I had already made this file, I found a photo gallery from the movie on another site that would also make a great addition to the special features, not to mention a page where you can listen to several songs from the soundtrack. I've also designed a DVD cover for R1DB a long time ago but can update it now that I've found more photos from the movie.

As for the conversion process, I've heard a lot of good things about HDTV2toMPEG2 (http://www.midwinter.com/~bcooley/). Apparantly it can make a playable, burnable output file in minutes. Let me know what you think of this idea and I can get started on more special features for the DVD.

PS, you might want to add some color saturation to the movie. It was highly uncolorful when it was broadcast on HDTV and can use a little boost in color.

Well, there was no hard drive files involved. I have a stupid ass Scientific Atlanta HD DVR from TWC that SUCKS ass because, from what I've read, if u try to hook it into your computer, it can't be read and asks to be formatted. I have not tried this myself because I can't find one successful story of it having been done. I used my DVD recorder using the Componant inputs.

Okay, this is my FIRST EVER HDTV transfer and for my first, it’s not THAT bad but nowhere near what DJ does. It’s something that I have longed to have in widescreen on DVD for a VERY long time and from the looks of it, it’s not getting an official release anytime soon, so this is something for the time being, or at least until someone else does an even better transfer than this. I will also be doing The Incredible Shrinking Woman next week, so keep an eye out for that. But here is what this looks like, screenshots from Cyberlink PowerDVD and menu shots from the menu I created.

The Main Menu features Pat Benatar’s Invincible song as background audio and on the special features page there is Divinyls Boy’s In Town for background audio. The special features is just Pat Benatar’s music video for Invincible taken straight from her Choice Cuts DVD, so it’s perfect quality. This will be available in dual layer and single layer format. Will have more information coming soon, but would like some feedback on my first disc, but please don’t be too harsh! LOL

You will still lose quality on both video and audio since the limitations of a dvd recorder.
Also can your dvd recorder record to dual layer discs?
It is better to start with the original .ts file(s) and work from it since you will only lose some quality authoring a dual layer dvd.
Plus I believe the audio bitrate that dvd recorders record at is 256kbps where most hdtv 2.0 audio tracks are 384kbps.
Also you will only get a 4x3 non-anamorphic recording just like digitalfreaknyc said up above.

Do you access to your ISP's newgroup server? I know some ISP provide a basic free access to usenet servers.
It just makes the steps so much easier if you can d/l the .ts hdtv file(s).

Yeah, I have access to the news server but wouldn't know where to go to find the files being posted in the groups.

I was crusing on the internet and decided to look up Universal HDTV’s schedule and I almost fell over when I saw what they were screening this month…

The Legend of Billie Jean
Ghost Dad
The Incredible Shrinking Woman
Pure Luck
Timecop
Dark Victory ('70s Elizabeth Montgomery TV movie)

I am going to do my first HD2DVD conversion and I am a little bit ansy about it because I don’t know much except how to press the record button on the DVD recorder. I am not 100% certain if that is the best way to do it, but it’s the only way I know how and I don’t think my DVR box, made by Scientific Atlanta, will allow me to transfer directly to my computer in any shape, way or form. If anyone has any input on how I should go about doing this, please let me know because I want to get the BEST quality I can possibly get. Thanks!

I am not sure if this movie has been discussed here but I found no topics about it in the search feature.

If there is anyone out there who can manage to preserve this FINE Wes Craven classic on DVD, that would be so cool! Warner Bros. is dragging their ass on a DVD release for this movie and that 's a shame! The movie is awesome, if only for the basketball to the head exploding scene! If anyone has any info, please let me know! Thanks and keep up the awesome work guys!

This is another movie that has been aired on HDTV that should be transferred to DVD and again, according the IMDB message board it has been yet nothing has surfaced online. I’ve created a cover for the DVD but it’s still in the works of completion until I find out the specs of the DVD itself. If anyone has any information on this release or is planning a release, let us know! This movie is a cult classic that still has yet to be released on DVD officially.

According to posts on the IMDB.com message board for this movie, it has been aired and captured from HDTV in Widescreen format but I can’t seem to find it anywhere online. Does anyone here know of any DVD from HDTV that is being circulated or is it all just a hoax? Thanks!
