SMB and HL2 do have the commonality of coming up with a gonzo concept and running hard with them. I do appreciate that

@zoidberg As someone who has spent far too much of their spare time on Highlander 2 I think it's fair to say that I can appreciate a hot mess
Im pretty certain SMB was never at any point of its production anything but a flaming hot mess. Its hardwired into its DNA
@PDB Yeah, the extended version is a better film, but it's still not a good film. The effort of the fans to find and restore this though is utterly incredible! They get my full respect
Congrats @MrBrown. @HippieDalek Its more the movie itself than the quality of the video 
. Honestly the extended is better than what we got,,,
. Honestly the extended is better than what we got,,,@PDB I could handle the poor visual quality...but even in this extended version the quality of the film itself was pretty hard to watch.
Well.. "new" PC starts getting set up... Still many applications not installed, but it makes a solid impression... 4th gen i7, 32GB Ram, GeForce gtx 980 Titan, 4TB HDD for data... 500gb hdd for system...
So what are people's thoughts on the Super Mario Bros. Extended Work Print? https://archive.org/details/super-mario-...tended-vhs
Tomorrow I get a new (used) PC. Then I'll see what data I can salvage from the old one. Hope HDD didn't got wrecked when the former PC died... I'll think I might getting it ready to go at the weekend.
No luck fixing it. Power supply is like an laptop one. So the small plug is on the Mainboard itself. And a new external power supply was tested.. So the problem is either on the mainboard..
Won't check forum as daily as usual.. My pc died two days ago... And with died.. Well.. Not even beeping at boot up... Keeping dark...
Hey everybody!...I am recovering from a bi-lateral embolism, was in the hostipal for 2 weeks...I hope to be here now and catch up
Are there any members here in the UK who can do high quality VHS transfers? Looking for a bit of help on an upcoming project.
I've been cursed by this video and now you all have been as well https://twitter.com/chuvabak/status/1388...72289?s=20
Hello everyone, i just wonder... How can i download a remastered movie in this site?
This might be a long shot, but do we have any users here in or around LA who can transfer 35mm magnetic audio? (SepMag/Sound Follower)
So, lets wait for the Ewok Ride Advertisements in the "Disney Death Star" Amusement Park in Episode 6 in Palpatines Throne Room...
I remember the time when Aladdin was supposed to be the unnecessary remake and that TLK would be unnecessary, but epic (At least the first teaser promised as much). While Aladdin was indeed unnecessary, it had its moments, but boy, was TLK straight up BAD...
Man if you watch the original clip it seems even worse still!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jQIIXuhsC8
Look at the comments under "Disney : Let's make these animals speak and sing but don't put any facial expression on them because we're gonna make it more realistic..."
Wow, it's even worse than I imagined! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MxulhivCvI
Saw this randomly on my Twitter feed and thought it was interesting in regards to Disney 35mm restoration: https://twitter.com/hiyaleo/status/13791...61889?s=20
hi, i'm new to the forum. is there a reason why i can't send PM someone?
That means only Dallas, Lambert and Ripley are left of the original Nostromo crew.
If somebody in the US fancies doing me a small favour by checking something, gimme a PM. Am curious about something.
Just finished watching From Dusk Till Dawn, the UK blu ray. Have to say the video wasn't very impressive but the audio sounded really bad. Muffled and quite, plus it looked out of sync at times. I thought it was something up with my setup at first but parts are in sync and parts seemed out. Anyone ever watched the LD and if so how did that sound? I've read about a 4k remaster but not sure if that is for UHD or streaming.
Sometimes I think Blackmagic doesn't want Resolve users to save and reopen projects to work on later, heh.
@pipefan413, nothing too serious for most users, but I can't correct the aspect ratio of anamorphic frames without also cropping them. Means I can't render and process any new frames until it's fixed. I haven't lost any files though so it's just a pause in my work rather than a catastrophe.
For anyone using Davinci Resolve I'd advise against upgrading to 17.1. If you do upgrade make sure you backup your database first. It's looking like I'll have to park my 35mm work until Black Magic fix some issues and release a new version.
I doubt there will be many people currently trying to encode 10-bit raw uncompressed analogue video captures to FFV1 but it appears that 2-pass mode is completely broken for anything that's more than 8-bit and I've just wasted like 2 days trying to figure out why before finally finding that it's a bug reported 5 years ago that still isn't fixed: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/5405

Hi, someone from Poland, who might help me buy a specific DVD Release from a polish used item marketplace, receive the disc, and then could ship it to Germany? Every seller either says they dont ship internationally, or even did not answer. 
I think that's a great idea, especially helpful when trying to track down a certain release that has something special about it.
Maybe we start to collect country specific 2nd hand market places in a thread...
Nice... Huuto.net is the Finnish 2nd hand market place... Signing up there was a pain, because it did not work with German phone number... I had to contact service of that page and they helped me...
Thanks again for your offer of help Mr Brown. I found a Norwegian marketplace in the past that someone helped me out with as you had to live in certain parts of Europe, can't remember the name of that one though. Also I have used https://en.todocoleccion.net/ several times for Spanish second hand stuff
Oh yeah, especially when looking in countries wher epeople do not use eBay that much, and rely more on local 2nd Hand Places. Often they are not even translated. But after successfully using a finnish languaged marketplace, the netherland marketplace feels kind of easy.. and I speak neither finnish nor dutch, whild knowing german and english helps with the dutch a bit... (but not with finnish at all)
Bot foremost: Thanks for the hint to that netherland 2nd Hand Marketplace. I always love to check 2nd Hand places in different countries for intersting stuff, that people dont put at ebay. Like I got John Woo Film DVDs from Finland on a finnish 2nd Hand marketplace. 
I jump in to help. I am not from Netherlands, but close enough to help. everything in PM, but we do not need multiple people now to chime in.
Do we have any members in The Netherlands? I am trying to buy a DVD from Marktplaats but it won't let me register as I'm in the UK. I would cover all costs if anyone could buy it and rip it for me?
Fighting fantasy rings a bell, never had any though. Nostalgia's one hell of a drug
@Hitcher Yeah some of the later issues (50+) have gone for £150-200 each! They retailed for £3.99
@zoidberg Do you remember those Fighting Fantasy gamebooks we had in the UK? The prices of some of those are crazy on eBay. Anything remotely cult/geek/collectible/retro has just gone through the roof
Yeah, they were worthless for a while, now they are not (although ebay sellers are over-estimating their value/gouging what they think they can get away with prices). Same with VHS, cassettes, cine film
That's the same player I have, @alleycat. However I was lucky enough to get mine for just £1 before prices hyperinflated!
Nice Laserdisc player on ebay UK https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pioneer-DVL-9...874e6311f7
HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON movies were pretty successful. But I don't know if you're counting animated films
Gerard Butler has such an odd career. He's kept working, but hasn't had a super successful movie since...what, 300?
Ive had an epic movie run! Greenland (2020) started it, then... Soul (2020), Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020) and My Octopus Teacher (2020)!
Greenland (2020) was a nice suprise! Tense and Emotional. The first 1hr 20 mins is gold.
