What I get from reading the kickstarter is that the money taken in goes to create the cover of the book? Maybe they have commisioned someone to do it and need the extra cash to pay them so the print can be released for publishing said book?
Have you noted that from yesterday, is not possible to see images directly into google image searching anymore? You got to visit the website each time...
Did some of you back the kickstarter because it passed its goal today? Still plenty of time if you want to jump onboard, should be an interesting book!
IIRC, there were some early copy protection schemes (pre macrovision) that didn't play nice with certain brands of VCR's, even when connected straight to a tv. One could get buzzing in the audio sometimes.May have been a side effect not intentional. Used to drive me nuts when I would take a rental back to the store and it played perfectly on whatever they were using. I suspect to this day they had one of those little black video stabalizer boxes installed just to avoid givng refunds. Cheap bastards!
Also, after some searching the web, also no evidence that there where any audio stream based copy protection on VHS. Also no hint that macro vision would temper the audio...
Hey guys, quick question: are there any known VHS copy protection methods that interfere with audio? I know that different flavors of Macrovision messed up with video, changing it's brightness and color, but none of those ever did anything to the audio signal, right?
Mhm... Okay, seems as if my PC has problems to decrypt a uhd BD... But at least I got no error putting the disc in, and try to play it on a definitive not new enough PC to start a uhd BD at all...
Hope that gets straightened out wihtout too much trouble. Coincidentally, FanRes did a "shut down" just a little while ago but it's back up now (obviously). The gods enjoy their entertainment.
Bad news: a fiber cut knocked me offline just a few hours ago, and I don't know when I'll be back online (even as we speak, I'm forced to use a cell phone to type all this), so I don't know when I'll be able to get out my test release. But I will try to get it out there as soon as I can.
I am just trying to get the UHD BD of Terminator 2 from my UHD BD to my HDD, just to check if my PC is capable of Playing 4K (on a HD TV)... finger crossed... Would love to check the colors on the 4K...
[from the same site] - "I still don't buy that [false memory theory]. I've seen movies that have had bits cut out from soon after the initial release (for instance, in the 1980s Batman, the Joker's "Where does he get those wonderful toys?" was soon cut to "Get those wonderful toys.") It was a long time from when I saw the movie until I could read the book, if I ever read it."
Funny! Never noticed that! (Then again, there's no trusting George Lucas and his CG revisionism.) Okay ... now show me Luke throwing his grappling-hook twice! -- "I saw Staw Wars 7 times in the first week, and several times thereafter. I saw Luke throw and miss. Don't tell me I dreamed it, or got it from another source -- I didn't read the novelization. My college friends and I discussed it after one of those 7 viewings and we all wondered why, while Luke was messing with the rope, that the stormtroopers didn't just shoot under the door." - https://movies.stackexchange.com/questio...edited-out
Chris Solo, paging Chris Solo, your party is waiting for you at the service desk. Please pick up any service phone near your location. Chris Solo, your party has arrived and is looking to communicate with you. That is all. [I am just kidding of course.]
I never realised that Silence of the Lambs is a romance comedy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCoTiU0S85Y I nearly lost it when the "bars couldn't keep them apart" caption popped up!
Enough fun of that topic... It's funny that people really believe in such things... Seriously... Next step of this Chemtrail theory would be that clouds are infumed with something like "aeorsolbombs" as "large scale Chem transports" And that just because the flight traffic got that much more in the last decades, that the effect occurs more often that a contrails has the optimum of surrounding not to fade away, but to Form some cloud.
As a veteran I received all sorts of shots on my entry to the military. I don't get vaccinated regularly either so if there is some sort of long outcome cocktail being created I'm screwing it up, lol.
With the big push of "flu shots", has everyone gotten their's? Or maybe you shouldn't (notice my great segue of related subjects). "Ground Zero: Shots In The Dark" http://www.groundzeromedia.org/1-31-18-shots-dark/
The stop memos were send out.. I did that myself.. problem: water does not want to stop its behalve of being kind of an anomality regarding temperatures...
Regarding Politics: Yeah, that was very "political" if not a "political mother of political discussion" that I did not even needed to name a specific political party, person or even institution, to let everyone know that it was so political, that it gain a level of hyperpoliticalisation...
Regarding the spelling: I am not a native english speaker at all, and my grades in the school subject "English" always were, lets say, "at the bottom of the pit". (Compare it to "D" - "E" for US grading system)
Isn't it awfull unfair how goverments and big cons put all that salt into the oeceans, to prevent people from drinking water out of them, and having to buy fresh, bottled water at horrendous prices?
Few years ago there was a blood moon visible in Germany... I was out on a field at 4 o'clock, it was cold... But it was a great experience. Never saw anything like that in reality...
Just got back from watching the Super Blue Blood Moon, and what a sight it was! As an added bonus, I also got to watch the sun rise. May not have been a total lunar eclipse from where I was standing, but it was the best I could see here.
Maybe you should start to announce, and start on, a new project after another project is finished. That way you won't pollute your pipeline to the point you are standing in front of a big brick wall of projects, and you find yourself not getting the breath to work on one project straight through.
Well, I managed to find a 24fps source for another Saturday morning cartoon restoration I might announce sometime this year, but I won't announce it for sure until I can verify that it's the best source available.
Needless to say, that Amazon seller, SarahBookStore, is on my blacklist, and should be on everyone else's, too. I'm sick and tired of these scammers in sellers' clothing.
@ Evit -- How about insect politics? ... "Insects don't have politics. They're very brutal. No compassion, no compromise." (The Fly) ... Are you SURE we can afford to be without politics?
Why are you posting these information in the shoutbox, Koopa? Leave project updates and announcements to the appropriate sections. Shoutbox is for chit-chat and ripping each other's hair over politics. Thank you
As for another of my projects, a minor update on Diabolik. I'm working on the subs for the 1992 English dub, which was released on VHS and laser videodisc.
Speaking of which, I'm currently encoding a 1080p test of the pilot opening I'll be using unless and until a better-looking version of the original pilot opening, without footage from the pilot itself, shows up somewhere (garbage in, garbage out, after all).
And like I said on my Inspector Gadget thread, I'll be doing everything for DVDs with DVDStyler, though I've not yet selected a Blu-ray authoring software, or else I've forgotten which one I was planning to use.
Come February 2, I'll have almost my entire Spring slate ready for formal announcement, in light of which I'll be one of Punxsutawney Phil's Phaithful Phollowers this year for sure!
