^ ^ Lifeforce (1985) -- I know he did other movies & TV episodes, but I wouldn't mind making a fan edit of this one to more illuminate this Kubrick-ian analysis :: "John Kenneth Muir's Reflections on Cult Movies and Classic TV -- CULT MOVIE REVIEW: Lifeforce (1985)" http://reflectionsonfilmandtelevision.bl...-1985.html :: "I admire Lifeforce so deeply and so thoroughly because I feel that ... [it leaves] no taboo related to its subject matter -- sex -- untouched. ... In short, Lifeforce is a big-budget, colossal-in-scope meditation on the consequences of sex in all sizes, shapes, forms, and perversions." :: And we all thought it was just a "T&A" schlock B-movie . . .

RIP Tobe Hooper

^ ^ "Because he locks into a kind of mode, kind of a machine. And he clicks into that and only sees the movie. ... And it's tough for everybody on the set. ... I would do a movie with him any time under those very same circumstances." Hmm, I wonder if he has any bronze blood in him?

My dear pals living in the US: is here anyone willing and able to buy me a 35mm trailer from the Evil Bay? I've found a little treasure, but sadly the seller won't ship it outside the US...

James Cameron is two-faced, from the horse's mouth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7r1lMT8Zpo

Ah, the self-healing data discs. Heard about them but never was able to get one. So ... they really work.

I'd say drive issue as well.

Perhaps your drive is/was playing up

How would you guys explain a batch of DVD-R's that had freezing issues being just fine several months later?

I'd bet it is.

watched Romancing the Stone on BD the other nigth and the DTS-MA 5.1 was shockingly bad. flat and lifeless. Is the LD audio any better?

No need to mention I suggested it to you. I'm sure the message has already been sent.

^^You're welcome. I hope you're ready for unimaginable and golden eliteness on a level unknown to very few and unworthy of most.

^ ^ Oh, and I, for one, am not easily nauseated by 3D glasses.

Thanks for the tip, Jetrell. I didn't want to bottle it in, and yet I didn't know where to let it out. (BTW I do have an account there, I just haven't used it for months, if not years.)

^ ^ From shutter-glasses-induced-nausia, U.S. consumer buying-trends have pretty much killed the old technology of artificial stereographics (although it's still fine for photographs). Try again with true ("holographic"?) 3D and then maybe we WILL see the new Blade Runner 3049 in the new Super-IMAX ™ !

Political spam, yay. The other site has a political thread ... you're views would fit right in there. Make them happy, share your thoughts with them. They will shower you with affection for it.

Anyway, back to Blade Runner 2049. I'll be seeing it, but I'm bummed we Yanks aren't getting it in IMAX 3D.

(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.

Will it or won't it flop.

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.

Adywan's Empire, probably...

I do not know. Things seem to have settled for now. It could be any number of things really.

Wow, wonder what's generating so much traffic for them?

Myspleen servers are getting worked pretty hard today.

It is back up for me as well.

was down but is now back up for me.

Me.

It must have gone down then, I only ask because my computer has been misbehaving.

I am.

Anybody else having problems entering The Spleen?

Most likely not, there's cracked version though available...

Does DTS even offer a trial version of its MAS Encoder?

Then I don't think you'll find anything free, legally.

The listed DTS encoder can only do regular old 6-channel DTS.

https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Eac3to/How_to_Use

Google might give you some leads.

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?

You mean free software? I don't think so.

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.

Was able to just copy the folders to my HD.

FixVTS might help you out.

So I have no idea what's it choking on.

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.

What a name! I'll take a look at it, thanks!

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.

Different brand names, but I think both are Tiayo Yuden made?

Were the discs the same make? Could be a compatibility problem.

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...

Only problem if you got some kind of copy protection...

Almost every burning tool can create a video DVD from a video DVD folder...

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...

How so? I've never had any trouble with it

I uninstalled MakeMKV after 5 Minutes, because it is total useless for me...

There's also MakeMKV

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.

Oh.

I was commenting on BT's youtube link. Old Saturday Morning animated show. An "X-Files" inspired episode.

???

Wow, ReBoot, old school toons.

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

LOL@BT

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

Yeah, it's a long shot. 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.

Another project thread? I hope?

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.

So, it looks like Season 1 is going to be complete after all.

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.

Also did that.

Check through YouTube, too. Bunches are there.
