Yeah, I know. I'm just a lazy bastard like the rest of you guys...I figured that it would have issues post-deployment anyways.
Oh, btw, it worked this time around, no 2% failure ;-)
Well, 170 Minutes while I wait for WMM to send out the file.
I guess in this amount of time, I can work on something...like work...Probably somehting I should be doing...lol
oy the .wmv files on their website are cut up into different acts :-\
And the .iso is 2 and half gigs.
Looks like this isn't going to be a walk in the park for people who are computer retarded like me

How about the Hi-Res Windows Media or Quicktime from: http://www.phase2trek.com/home.html
The mov is 692MB and the windows media is 474MB
...or are you unable to use those file formats?
Just out of curiosity... how does one go about combining 4 iso files into one, for a DVD??
I'm not computer retarded, more like an idiot savant....

Okay, sounds simple enough, just a heads up, you'll need a program to unRAR the files, and a program to join them together,
They are availiable on the info page there (To give them some extra hits, I won't link the program DL's)
But there will be an added benefit to downloading the 4 RARs, as they include a menu and extras
(I too am not sure what will be included, since I am still in the process of downloading everything)

The guy on the page linked to added an extra unnecessary step. It looks like he split the original image into smaller chunks then RAR'd each chunk. Instead he should have just set winrar to split the archive into wahtever chunks he wants. You then download all the rars and only have to use one program to extract the image from the archive. Personally I just used the torr-ent link and downloaded the full iso. no fuss no muss. Actually the only fuss is going to be re-authoring. Whoever authored the original unofficial DVD made each act its own title set. When it is authored that way I can't just do a simple de-mux to have the full video stream.

Damn Trekkies...always making shit more complicated than it needs to be. :-\
Too bad this one won't be as trouble free and easy as the first release, but no biggie. My PS3 plays divx files just fine so it is no big loss. I will just sync it the way I do DVDs using my ipod with the audio. I may torrent the full DVD file as well for future use.

Well I finished unRARing, then joining, then burning, and popped it into the DVD player and... No Menu, No Extras... Oh Well,
ON THE PLUS SIDE,
For those re-authoring,
Going through the perscribed method, I stuck it back in the computer and started up the Decrypter and it gave me only one video file and one audio file
So that may be the added bonus of going through the trials of the 4 RARs

Maybe that is a different ISO than the one i torr-ented.

OH... That's You?! :D :D :D
One more heads up before I slink back into the shadows,
The RAR link on the Star Trek page doesn't send you to a free unRAR, but to a paid one,
for the free one, just google rar and there should be one on there that you'd trust downloading, (I picked the first one under uberdownloads)
adios
Oh yes, and to combine properly, all of the divide iso files MUST be in the same folder
Now I'm leaving
Great news all!
If you're watching the special DVD edition (which I downloaded from their site) there's "commercial breaks" inserted at the end of each act! This will throw off your synching every few minutes! Great, huh?

D'oh!
Let me find out from Bill and /or Kevin which one exactly they used. I find it hard to believe there are so many issues...
EDIT: It was probably the single Quicktime file that was pointed to earlier... I will verify soon as I can.
Whaaa?
What version did the Riffers use?
Not the DVD version?

Hahaha oh thank christ I just read this. Bad news. Good delivery. :clap:
I'll cancel my download, and pick something else.
For the file I created from the seperate .mov files I had to insert up to 23 seconds of dead space at each break. Big break at around 25 minutes and a really big break at around 45 minutes.
Hail Forumistas,
Sorry for any confusion, but please don't use the TO SERVE ALL MY DAYS version with the commercials. They released that after we recorded the riff.
Apologies if anyone got thrown off by that. Though Mike Nelson had nothing to do with this, please feel free to go ahead and blame him.
cheers,
BC

Just got clarification from Kevin, the high-res version (Quicktime) available at http://www.phase2trek.com/home.html is the one that was used in the riffing. Sorry if any of this was unclear.
EDIT: And Bill comes in before me with the winning post. Curse you, Corbett!!
Goddamnit.
(Thanks guys, by the way, the Goddamnit wasn't directed at you!)
I know people are always calling for edited versions of the MP3s, but is it at all possible to get one edited to fit the dvd? I mean, a lot of people are going to be wanting to use that version.

FYI, I just tried the <300mb divx pro avi file and all of "Susan's" lines synced up perfectly, the high compression makes the video a bit fuzzy though. For those that have slower connections that is another option.

I think "a lot" is a bit of an overstatement. Most people probably won't know how to use an ISO file. I'll ask tomorrow if doing one edited for DVD syncing is a possibility, though.

I'm guessing you are correct, as the ISO of the DVD will probably be a much better quality recording versus the Quicktime MOV. Count me in as one who would like an MP3 synched to the ISO.

I assumed most people watch Rifftrax on a tv rather than a computer? Is that not the case?
Thanks though!

Something like this, which is mostly only available as a computer download - probably will remain that way. But like I said, we'll try to appease everyone. As Bill had mentioned the DVD ISO was added after they had riffed it - they weren't even aware of its existence until I brought it to their attention. Figures...!
Fair enough! Our "office" is no place to watch a movie, so if we can't find a format to watch it on a tv with, it basically stays unwatched.
Anyway, if I'm the minority, I certainly understand.

Aw dammit, I downloaded that ISO like two weeks ago. I felt so smart for being prepared, too! I should be able to chop up the riff mp3 and resync it to the video, right? Just account for the commercials? I like the idea of the vintage commercials. Too bad those were included after the riffing was done because more commercial riffing would be great.
I also burnt the DVD and played the MP3 on my PC speakers. I can make a DVD but I'm not quite at reauthoring yet. :^) It was tough to keep synced at times. I'd be interested in an edited file.
I'm planning on throwing the Quicktime file into DVD Flick and burning my copy that way now that I know which file they used to record it with. That's pretty much what I did for the first one.
I was just about to man up and start downloading when a little snag occurred to me. In the past, I would run the riff in windows media and the DVD in question on a DVD player program. A downloaded video file like this would play in windows media, now what plays the riff? I really don't want to get a redundant extra program just for this one stupid but undoubtedly hilarious thing.
I downloaded the Apple MOV version (for my ipod and Apple TV) and the DIVX versions, so I should be set.
Since they are in .rar format, I have do download from somewhere like www.download.com a "rar" extraction/conversion program?
Sorry for my ignorance, but I have never seen .rar files before.
Thanks.

Yes, I've been using a freeware program called RarZilla.
It's so pointless to compress these video files that are already in a compressed format, you get about 0.3% compression even when using the best algorithms. An uncompressed AVI would be one of the few formats that do well when compressed.

I watched it last night using Windows Media Player and ffdshow, and played the mp3 file in Winamp. www.winamp.com

Most software that will play DVDs will also play movie files, look for an option to load a file instead of playing a disk.

Wow, RarZilla worked great, and easy to use to. I now want to marry it, it worked out so well.
I'll try one of the proposed sollutions soon but I am very lazy so it could take a while.
I'm recording the merged file now. I had to convert the WMV file. The MOV was really jumpy. The screen kept blinking out and the audio was horrible. The WMV isn't as good picture wise but who cares anyway, it's a fan made Star Trek episode. How good can it be anyway.
VLC player.
I'm kinda a newbie... Anyways when I make Rifftrax DVDs I use SuperDragons tutorial. Could somebody tell me how to make a DVD of To Serve All My Days?
Thanks!
Well, two options:
1) Download the DVD version from the STNV folks. Burn it to disc, then follow the standard process. When you get to the "Edit the soundtrack with the rifftrax" step, you'll need to add a few seconds of silence to the rifftrax at various points to keep the trax in synch. It'll be a little more time intensive, but that requires no additional software beyond what you already have.
2) Download the wmv or QT file. (Stay away from the Real file. Prying their player off your computer is never fun.) Then grab a program called "DVD Flick" which will you can then use to convert a QT or WMV file into a DVD. Then back to the usual process.
Has this one been completely removed from the site? I can only seem to find the "World Enough and Time". ???
I'm not sure why it's not showing up on the catalogue or why the first link changed, but here it is:
http://www.rifftrax.com/rifftrax-presents/serve-all-my-days
It is showing up in the catalogue but I guess the link changed when I edited some settings in our URL generating scheme.
It shows up here http://www.rifftrax.com/rifftrax?page=2 (just under X-files)
Great, thank you.
I wasn't sure if it was some kind of silent cover-up. *shifty eyes towards the X-Files*
