Are we not supposed to use the (NTSC)5 Star Edition?

[Janitor]

Because it falls out of sync within the first ten minutes for me. Is this happening for anyone else?

Does it include the theatrical cut?  We used a disc that gave you the option.  The theatrical cut is the one to use.

D'oh! Thanks Conor!

Note for re-authorers: When you rip the DVD, you dont get a choice of which one to use, with either ReJig or DVD Decrypter. It will only give you the special edition. Unless Im doing something wrong.

I used DVDDecryptor with no problems, 2 titles, I just picked the slightly shorter one.

I found it. Just never used it on a DVD with more than one movie on a disk before.

I'm using this edition:



Is it going to be alright? I only ask this because of that Star Trek 6 mishap with the single disc and double disc discrepencies.

Also, it's the 2:25:00 one, right? not the 2:33:00?

Yes.  This has been clarified several times, and it is in the readme.  Any version that includes the "theatrical" version is perfectly fine.

[SecretAgentSuperDragon]

Cool. Got it done. Not that hard. Funny stuff so far.

I just downloaded it and am ready to re-author. Then I noticed the two versions on my newly-purchased ID4 disc. I needed to know which version to use. My first stop was at the RiffTrax store and read the description of the ID4 RiffTrax. Nothing. Subsequently, I checked the forum and went straight to this, the ID4 forum. This thread was the first mention of it that I found. So I have not seen this "clarified several times," thank you very much.

I highly recommend that you indicate which version to use at the website store. Prominently display it.

Beers,

A good place to look is gammer's fan site rifftraxfan.com.  He always lists the correct DVD version to use...

But I think that it might be a good idea for us forum regulars to start a thread in each of the child boards that clarifies which DVD versions work and which ones don't.  Even though it has been "clarified several times", not everyone reads the 20 Q's threads or knows where to find this exact info.  A stickied thread in each board would help in organizing this info, and help avoid forum sprawl on these topics.

Just a thought.

Well if you had bothered to read your readme file then you would have seen the following

-= Independence Day =-

-= If given the option, please select the "Theatrical Version" =-

-= 54 CHAPTERS =-

There is a reason they call it "readme"

But I do agree they should start putting this information in the catalogue pages

[SmilinJackRoss]

Flamegrape has a point though.  If there are multiple versions of the movie out there, they should make it very clear which version to use, and not hide this critical info in a readme.

The readme file is not the first thing that I read. Syncing it up with the DA cues is near the middle of the work flow, which is usually the first time I look at that readme file. I would have eventually noticed it.
