Anyway, back to Blade Runner 2049. I'll be seeing it, but I'm bummed we Yanks aren't getting it in IMAX 3D.
Shoutbox archive
(BTW for me to have gone off like that Abe Lincoln must really be turning in his grave in reaction to what recently happened in the nation he helped unite.)
Speaking of films and politics, how many films have yet to have their credits corrected as an apology for McCarthyism?
But in any case, I'm sure a lot of people are hyped for the new Blade Runner film, and I'm positive that it'll succeed.
But seriously, I can see why some of us Yanks want to become canucks. Greatest embarrassment since Roger Taney decided the Great American Boner of 1857? Depends on your views.
Sorry, I just had to get some stuff off my chest before it caused me great illness.
In short, Donald Trump just committed his first post-eclipse boner, but will it be enough to trigger his Untergang? After Charlottesville, I should hope so. Not even a full year into his presidency, and he's already failed two key tests of moral leadership and made us all embarrassed to call ourselves Americans!
And a Joe Arpaio pardon from him? I'd bet $21.6 billion on it, if I was a gambler.
Wow, Donald Trump truly believes that Mexicans are the root of all of America's evils, from George Zimmerman to James Alex Fields Jr., if he's in this much of a hurry to build the Berlin Wall or kill our government from within like a spoiled child who doesn't get his way, as he basically admitted in Phoenix yesterday.
Also Ridley Scott said he would of added more action to the original to get people 'pumped'! Interesting Fan Service of this one 
I looks like we're getting the Original Opening; I wonder iif we will get the snake dance.
Beware! Happy Eclipse day!! The Climate-Change Scientists have scietifically certified that you will turn into a werewolf if you're caught under it! I know I'll be doin' some howlling of my own (lots of bronze babes walking around!). *AhOOoooooooo* *cough* *cough*
There is a thread about it .... https://forum.fanres.com/thread-1727-pos...l#pid33811
Did anyone here DL it? Because I, too, have been curious about it for some time now.
I do not know. Things seem to have settled for now. It could be any number of things really.
It must have gone down then, I only ask because my computer has been misbehaving.
I would like to know as well. The only one I know of is DTS-HD Master Audio Suite, which is hecka expensive.
Well, what software would you recommend that won't punch a "Shoeless Joe"-sized hole in my wallet?
Regarding DTS-HD Master Audio... is there any software out there that can encode audio tracks in that codec?
DVD-R can't have CSS encryption. Well technically you can copy the encrypted files of course, but the decryption keys are stored in a sector that only exists on pressed discs and can't be put on any DVD+/-R.
Imgburn was able to read past any errors that made the discs freeze up in all my players. It just refuses to make an image file from what it thinks is a "multisession disc". These discs were finalized when I made them.
Silverwook ... RoadKil's Unstoppable Copier ... I just found it yesterday and it did an amazing job with a very difficult disc but it handled it smoothly.
I bought a huge stash of Fuji brand when several stores blew them out on clearance and never had problems until now. Discs that are going bad were all recorded in the same month, so I suspect one bad batch.
Ok! Thanks all for the info. Still scratching my head as to why one disc gave me no problems and the other did. Both were made with the same recorder and I had not encountered this issue before.
If DVD-R has some copy protection (which I doubt, as I think you're talking about burned DVDs), just use DVDFab (or DVDFab Passthrough), you'll be able to copy then unprotected files off DVD.
If your tool cannot.. You can copy the video DVD folder to your hard drive, and use DVDShrink to create an iso...
Ok. If I copy the folders, there won't be any issues burning a disc from them at a later date? The DVD-R is just beginning to go bad and only my PC drive can read it at this point.
I did not even came to the point to test how it does its work, because I already stopped at the how to work with it, because it was plain not the thing I want and need...
I can't name the individual files.. just the "discname 01.mkv" name... also i dislike the gui and usability...
Is it already a DVD-r? So no copy protection? Just copy the folders... Also DVD shrink did always a decent job with unprotected DVD movie media..
Can anyone recommend a good program to copy DVD-R to a hard disk? Imgburn is being very uncooperative lately.
I was commenting on BT's youtube link. Old Saturday Morning animated show. An "X-Files" inspired episode.
At least I got the formula down for field dominance reversal... and yes, I just now tested it on the file where I discovered the anomaly.
Let's just say there's a reason why PBS prefers interlaced content to be top field first, in accordance with Red Book specifications. Right now, I'm having problems with interlaced content which had been encoded bottom field first.
As Scully says (okay, I watch X-Files, too): "The answers are there. You just have to know where to look." 
I know ... you think I watch too much X-Files. Well, I watch too much cartoons. Okay, so they're X-Files cartoons ... "ReBoot: Trust No One" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRFhJROL19w 
Don't let GOOGLE in your HOME! (Get it? Google Home? ) They think it's 1984 and that they are Big Brother -- https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=abraham+lincoln -- see the Google box to the right. Abraham Lincoln was in the "National Union Party"? Say what? What other propaganda do we get? And why? Time to look for another search engine -- "Orwell's Nightmare: The NSA and Google" http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-w-whi...10171.html

But that guy is never going to give up looking for it. Everybody has their own movie holy grail I guess.
Possible uncut... With running time of 58 minutes, after deleting the commercial breaks? I doubt that...
Anybody in Germany that could record a possible uncut version of The Land Before Time? http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/The-Lan.../4#1096553
A project thread is already created; you can find it in the In-Progress section.
Anyway, once I start with the encoding process, I'm going to send a test file depicting a barebones encoding of the series premiere, "Mainframes to Minis to Micros", in MP4 format via WeTransfer. Feedback from those who receive it next week would be much appreciated.
Well! That appears to be an even better resource than Internet Archive, at least as far as getting the correct episode orders is concerned!
A good resource (may or may not be duplicated at Internet Archive) --> http://stquantum.xtreemhost.com/ ... with .PDF show notes --> http://stquantum.xtreemhost.com/cc/content/
BTW I'm getting them from Internet Archive so I can get the MPEG-2 files, which are more easily converted to the 720p60 format in which I'll be doing this project.
Internet Archives is where I get those episodes. There is an episode on utilities from Season 4, but in regards to that topic, that's just about it.
"Computer Chronicles" (and "Net Cafe") host Stewart Cheifet - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewart_Cheifet - and interviewed on TWiT - https://twit.tv/shows/triangulation/episodes/114
I think I recently checked out an episode of Computer Chronicles that actually showed a LD-R
Computer Chronicles! Awesome retro-tech!! Definitely check Internet Archives -- a lot of these kind of things wind up there.
OK, as I prepare to work on my aforementioned Computer Chronicles project, it appears there's one missing episode from Season 1, centering on software utilities. I believe it's the 20th episode of Season 1.
I just can't seem to find any info about the actual "master" used to create the French VHS, sorry.
Evit, here's another link that "might" be helpful. http://www.worldcat.org/title/bandits-ba...referer=br
Jetrell Fo, I wish we had such a similar archive for all Italian releases! My question was not much about if it ever existed on VHS but rather if the French VHS was from French theatrical master, with French title and credits, rather than from US master.
A bit of a teaser for a future project, to be released sometime next year. In 1983, the PC market was in its development stages. The IBM PC was just setting the standard for the computer industry. The Macintosh wasn't even available yet! Join Stu and Gary as they explore this young world of microcomputers and what made them special back in the day. Because no matter how powerful your computer, you just know they've all got to start somewhere.
Doesn anybody know if Time Bandits was ever published on VHS in France with French theatrical credits? I only found this advert https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVBCq5oDnrc
Koopa, just use Film Convert. There's no grain plate you will come out with that will emulate as well as FC as it has years of development, plus you can tweak everything from the inside. It works with DaVinci, FCPX etc
Details to come in a future thread, after I've audited every last detail in regards to film stocks.
As I finally get my new Lenovo laptop with DaVinci Resolve 14 ready to work on my projects, I'm going to need some clean film grainplates, so as to emulate an authentic film look as closely as possible, because I'm pretty sure from the feedback here that even the grainplate that came with Resolve isn't going to do me any good.
