You were a yout! In the UK, The Ewok Adventure saw a theatrical release. Sort of like how you Canadians saw Battlestar Galactica as a theatrical release, as opposed to America who saw it as a TV mini-series. In many parts of the world, things seen on US TV are shown as a theatrical release elsewhere. For instance, the three part Batman arc, The Zodiac Crimes, featuring the Joker and Penguin teaming up, was originally intended as a theatrical release as a follow up to the Batman movie. It was eventually shown in the US on TV, but, elsewhere, it was also distributed as a feature film.

Wow... I just cannot believe this piece of Spam I received today... The subject wasn't unusual. The fake sender tells me he took these pills and became an amazing sex machine. What was unusual was there was a pictorial example. Even more so, it was a cartoon. Even more more so, it was Bart Simpson.. :&

And, what about people who are NOT aware of these protected CD's? They never exchange them, sell them to someone who isn't versed in the protection, too. Or, worse, put them up for sale at a used shop or donate them to a library? Well after Sony's exchange program ends, of course, which they'd only keep up as long as they legally need to and not forever as would be necessary. The result? A Trojan that probably will live forever.

A thousand pounds a slice? Sure that pie isn't of the hot hair variety?

Found something unique at the library this week. I believe this discussion had started before on the old message boards. About the two Ewok movies. Yes, a double feature flipper of the two Ewok movies! The Ewok Adventure was listed as Caravan Of Courage on the disc, which I believe was the UK theatrical release title.

That part of it seems definitely inspired by Triffids. The rest, though, no. For instance, 28 Days seemed to establish that the plague was limited mostly to areas of the United Kingdom. Plus, there was no global blindness or man eating plants.

How DARE you bring a thread BACK on topic!

My mother was also a Dallas fanatic and I had to sit through it a lot. Keel played one Clayton Farlow for 10 years on the show. I've no idea who that character was, though. I never got the chance to read Day Of The Triffids until 1992, in college, some 7 years after I got the VHS. In exchange for a copy of the movie, my Botany professor gave me her copy of a paperback of the novel. It was missing its cover. BTW, next time you should see 28 Days Later, try to not think of Day Of The Triffids when you see that guy walking through the deserted city. I saw it in a theater, and, I was thinking the same thing: guy wakes up in hospital, no one is there, roams the streets, no one is there.

No, but, if you'd hand me the plate of wombats, that would be most appreciated.

Let me explain the scene in question. Keel's character in the film has adapted a gasoline hose from a tanker truck and converted it into a miniature flame thrower. Keel was in westerns, musicals, and on the TV series Dallas, probably what he is best known for. He passed away just over a year ago. Triffids was probably one film he did for the money. Look for the tennis shoe wearing Triffids walking down the road towards his truck in a brief shot near the end of the film.

For my area, anyway, Tuesday, November 15th, is a day they're keeping a close eye on. Fastly falling temperatures, a high expected of 48 F, and a pressure front coming in. A lot of possible stormy weather. In Iowa, tornadoes ripped through that area.

Someone pass me the waterwings, please.

Hmmm... this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/jpel...02/takethat.gif and that: http://www.imahosting.com/sigs/headsmash.gif together in the same post... there is something to that. BTW, for you Doctor Who fans, look for a cameo by the actress who played Susan, Carol Anne Ford, as a blind French woman. She, unfortunately, gets eaten by a Triffid.

Well, now, what brought that on?

After re-reading this thread again, I believe porn should be freed to! Richard B. Porn has been imprisoned for far too long on trumped up charges! Let Dick go free!

I never thought of it until just now. What exactly is PTP and OTP? I can understand what it means for 2 layered discs. With parallel, I'd guess is that one layer is read spinning the disc in one direction and at layer change, the 2nd layer is read without changing the rotational direction orf the disc. With opposite, at layer change, the disc spins in the opposite direction that it was rotating when Layer 0 was being read. Is that right? If it is, and even if it isn't how does it apply to single layer discs, if it does? Wouldn't all single layer discs be PTP by basic definition of physics? So, I'm guessing there is no such thing as an OTP DVD-5. Please help/correct me as needed/desired. Thanks!

Sony's going to end up shooting itself in the foot. They've already started a huge wash against them over the revelation their protected CD's were installing rootkits. Then, of course, the installed rootkits were targeted by trojans to use their cloaking abilities to install themselves. Then, their rootkit got labeled as malware at worst, spyware at best, by many vendors. This idea for the PS3 will just mean a bigger market for mod chips. Which leads me to a new revelation... it is my belief that, more and more, that mod chips, certain types of software, etc. are actually MADE by the companies that are suing some such products. e.g. Sony actually makes more money when one installs a mod chip to play an import game only available in a foreign country. But, not ALL mod chips and not all mod chip sellers are targeted by Sony for lawsuits, etc. Why? There can only be one answer: the ones they go after AREN'T the ones secretly made by Sony. My conspiracy theory for the day.

OMG! I once knew someone like this! In fact, on a 2nd look... he even had a similar looking . Almost black, save for the white paws. :&

About the best way I can think of is to load the IFO files in IFOEdit and look for the Layer Break entry. Then, preview it and load that segment of the DVD in a DVD player standalone and see if there's the tell tale pause. Since the LB will most likely be within the movie itself, you can start right off with the movie's IFO file. Of course, the more IFO files there are, the longer it will take, so, it can be a very quick, or a very long, method.

With ImgBurn, as the name implies, you must have an image to burn. It is possible to burn data to a DVD in real time, but, it is not within the scope of ImgBurn to do that. Plus, it's highly discouraged. Write to images first.

ISO's aren't read only unless you set the +R attribute to the file. ISO, like any other file, can be written to. UltraISO will inject files into ISO files.

It's also the origin of the urban legend of licking toads to get a high. 1.) it has to be certain kinds of toads 2.) you can't just lick the poison as that's a sure way to get sick. But, the poison can be a hallucinogen when applied properly.

I'd never heard that phrase before. Ever. Thanks!

Oh, man, I completely spaced on the fact that these were movie images. Anyway, I'm taking from the fact that you said you spent $50, that you're writing these images to discs before testing them. Either use rewritables or just test the images straight from the hard drive first. Or, was that $50 for this software you mentioned? And, merging two movie ISO's would work, but, you'd have something that doesn't play in a DVD player. Depending on what you want to do, e.g. if you just want the movie, copy the two movie streams into Nero Recode, which should handle making its own layer break. Or DVDReMake which has some functions for merging two movies together with a rudimentary menu system.
