[jeanl]

he's 9 dude, he's 9...
You didn't recognize my avatar? It's Spike, the famous dog created by Tex Avery. None of Tex Avery's stuff is available in the US, and it's a damn shame cause it's a complete riot. Almost all of it is available in Europe! Another guy who's much more famous abroad than in his own country... sad sad sad!

I haven't got anymore DVD's that will get into the top ten. I have to rely on new DVD's that come out from now on.

[jm1647]

The Aviator is due out the 24th....who knows...I'm on the list

I don't want to do a R1 version of a movie thats already in the list with another Region...I think it's gonna be hard for me to crack the top ten


Edit - sheesh ...just looked at BraveHeart R1 and it only has 6 vts with a toal of 3.42MB to start with...that aint gonna do it

[jeanl]

mmm, the next star wars will be a good candidate...

Good film.

The Star Wars DVD's are not that big even though they have three or four sets of menus. The R2's are 500-600MB. It is only the main menu that is animated.

[jeanl]

Well, you're right, the largest R1 was about 700MB. But everything was animated, including the chapter menus...

You are correct, I just checked Attack of the Clones (555MB). The R2's do have animation on all the different menus.

I was thinking of the Star Wars menus I did with MS 2.2. I kept the main menu animations and stilled the rest.

[jeanl]

he he he somebody's putting the new feature to good use! It's true that it's nice to have some animation in these menus, it's refreshing after MSing the heck out of all these guys!

It is a good feature. I like it and plan to use it more.

[blutach]

You need something with a Gig or so of unreffed material. That's how Mulholland Drive and Godzilla did it. Most regular menus, even motion ones, won't crack the big numbers over 1Gb. Andf that's nothing! We need 2Gb to be in the ballpark.

The new feature is great...it gives ya the option to keep some if ya want to, if the space is not needed to keep a decent compression % in shrink.

Again nice work jeanl !

Hi Ho......
