I have the Original Trilogy DVDs

Okay, so they're not official; but they'd fool any of you. Transfers from LaserDiscs with chapter menus and box art all done in Photoshop. A-burned to DVD-R by my shiny new PowerBook.

Hail!

So basically you're advertising an illegal product here?

Cool, I'll take 3.

Haha, no. Just bragging about my superior backup media.

Been using iDVD?

Ha, I did that a while ago. I've got both Classic and SE versions of the trilogy on DVD. I put lots of chapter stops on the discs but I didn't bother with menus.

You should let someone do a proper DVD rip.

Did I mention that I altered my version of the SE so that Han Solo shoots first?

Those would be bootlegs, which are illegal...

Mike, are you selling by any chance?

My standards for a rip are much higher than your average DVD ripping kiddies'. I'd rather do it myself.

Canada has different private copying laws than the United States.

A "rip" is a copy of an existing DVD, which is not available in this case. Besides, what's there to do with it, besides using a decent variable-bitrate MPEG2 encoder to make sure the picture quality is good?

Generally, a rip is an encode of a DVD that can fit on a CD, be it DivX (ick), XviD or 3ivx (my preference). Needless to say, that is a much finer art, especially since I include chapter tracks and full metadata in my backups.

Ah, I see. Well, that's a technique that is soon to be going by the wayside. With DVD-R writer prices dropping into the basement, there is no need for that kind of work anymore.

THat's great stuff, Mike. Damn, I'd love to get my hands on that.

I have the OT (non-Special Edition, mind you) on pressed DVDs (not DVD-Rs). Not quite as good as what Mike`s got, but still...

Montcalm · Post by **Montcalm** » 2003-09-15 01:24pm

Can those of us who do not have the OT on DVD could deal with those who have it via PM,this way there will be no written proof and what Lucas does`nt know won`t hurt him.

Nonetheless does this mean you are selling or not?

Think a cd/dvd about what? a foot across? That is a laserdisc...a cd/dvd the size of a record.(If you don't know what a record is...god help us all.)

My roommate recently bought a DVD-R and I have yet to figure out how I can record my Star Wars onto a DVD RAM disk. I keep getting the "Cannot record this media" alert. But I will have the non-SE trilogy on DVD if it's the last thing I do.

Hmmm why not get them overseas.
