So is anyone else sick of the "Unrated" versions of films that just add a few seconds of not particularly special stuff so they can charge five more dollars for the "special" unrated version?  It's become an ugly scam...

And when they don't have any footage to dump into the film, they release a bare-bones DVD, wait a few weeks, then turn around and put on a "making of" short and call it a "Special Edition"
They've got their con down pat.

the best is when they release the crappy first dvd with "collectible covers!"  so you have to buy 4 versions of the crappy dvd then off course tyou gotta buy the special edition when it comes out in four months

I definitely need to agree. Most hard core movie fans are not going to be buying theatrical releases and rated releases when a director's cut or unrated version exists. I was thinking about making this post yesterday and then they announce The Two Towers also is a theatrical release. No true fan is going to own the theatrical Lord of the Rings set. I would really recommend to start considering using the unrated and extended cuts. Is it to be more family friendly? I mean with Saw how could it be? Now I gotta go find where the differences are between Saw theatrical and unrated.

I hope most hardcore movie fans don't own a copy of Saw at all.  I suppose it takes all kinds of hardcore movie fans to fill the freeway.

But whatever.  Yes, I wish the MOST COMMONLY AVAILABLE version was riffed.  I can't find the theatrical version available to rent.

Folks, I watched it using the Unrated version. There wasn't any more drift than usual. I think I had to pause the DVD for a second at one point but that was the extent of the problem for me.

I have the unrated edition, and the fact that this wasn't for it didn't occur to me until after I was finished. I did experience some drift (and had to pause/unpause/pause them both and drag them into place a couple times), but nothing I couldn't fix after a few seconds editing. Still, I'll dig up a regular-edition (I think I saw a pile of them at the store the other day) and see if that's any better. Of course, I'm new to this whole process, so it may just be me.

We riffed the version that is available on Netflix and amazon.com.  Like we do for every release.

Check out your local used book/DVD stores.

You got that right:





So, does it work? Have you had anyone come up and ask about it, or whatever?

Nice work!
FINE

I have had a few people talk to me about it. A bunch of the handouts have been taken too.

If you re-author, this site might help you (CAUTION - GRAPHIC STILLS):

Of course, this is European.  But it might give you an idea of where to insert additional space in the riff.  The only downside is that it doesn't track inserted footage.

As I mentioned in another post, I finally was able to reauthor this with the UNRATED version, but it took a lot of trial and error.  Also, there were I believe 2 or 3 riffs I had to delete because there were lines from the movie that were actually missing in the unrated release!  I had to delete the riffs that related to those lines.  I was using a Blu-Ray rip of the UNRATED release.  If anyone is looking to upgrade to hi-def and doesn't mind losing a couple riffs, let me know.

Good news. Since I own the unrated version , I decided to not bother renting the rated version and just watched the Rifftrax using that. I didn't notice any more drift in the trax than usual. And having just done the Audacity/Rifftrax combine thing, the synch lines line up throughout the film. I had to add half a second in at one point as towards the middle, the movie audio gets a beat ahead of the Rifftrax, but that was it.  You shouldn't have any problems watching the Rifftrax with the unrated version.

Mine jumped out of synch, not even 3 minutes into the movie by at least a half a second.  I didn't bother trying to resynch the rest.  Maybe if you reauthor and can check the synch lines it'll be ok but I don't recommend trying it live.

Hmm mine did this too. The disc isn't labelled with any specific version info, it just says 'Saw'.
