You should let someone do a proper DVD rip.Darth Wong wrote: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.
Yes, you fucking lucky bastard!Darth Wong wrote:Did I mention that I altered my version of the SE so that Han Solo shoots first?
Those would be bootlegs, which are illegal...omegaLancer wrote:funny I got the original trilogy on DVD when I visited Hong kong.

I believe that would be illegal, too...Vympel wrote: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.Laird wrote:I thought I already did that for you?:p

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?Durandal wrote:My standards for a rip are much higher than your average DVD ripping kiddies'.

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.Darth Wong wrote:A "rip" is a copy of an existing DVD, which is not available in this case.

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.Durandal wrote:Generally, a rip is an encode of a DVD that can fit on a CD, be it DivX (ick), XviD or 3ivx (my preference).

THat's great stuff, Mike. Damn, I'd love to get my hands on that.Darth Wong wrote:Did I mention that I altered my version of the SE so that Han Solo shoots first?

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.)darthdavid wrote:What exactly is a laser disc? Pics please. I've been wondering for a while now...
