Myspleen servers are getting worked pretty hard today.

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.
He is not completely wrong: said off DVD Edition has no English audio, only Italian audio, and I don't understand Italian... (but it is a version not on another DVD in my collection)
(but it is a version not on another DVD in my collection) 
He just wants a few of the DVDs in my collection... I think it only was one... A silly movie... "Highlander 2"...
I also didn't notice any pirate ships and treasure chests just lying around either, arrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhh.
Yay me! I bought an old German VHS tape... Hope it arrives until weekend... Want to check title credits...
YAY ME!!! I just picked up the U.S. Shin Godzilla Bluray and the digital code gave me the english and japanese version of the film. WAY COOL!!!!
the nice fellows at screenshotcomparison had the database full, so what? They wiped out all comparisons made before today!!! 
Anyway... anyone know any 70mm grainplates I could use to simulate 70mm blowups, be they OAR blowups or cropped-to-standard blpowups?
BTW is there a smiley for "egg on face"? Because that's exactly how I'm feeling right now.
I never actually thought of that! Could someone please move it there? Thanks!
It'll be good practice for original projects I plan on doing at some point in the future.
