Tachikaze asks for help again (DVD/VCR)

[Voigtkampf]

I copy a lot of laser disc stuff to dvd that hasnt or will not be made for DVDs like the Godfather Saga.

Huh? The Godfather trilogy? With Marlon Brando and Al Pacino? Of course its on DVD, I have all the parts on DVD.

I recently got myself Vertigo on DVD as well, I’m always scanning for the older movies now being converted and brought out as a DVD edition. I ordered Gone with the Wind and The Thing the other day, both on DVD. Almost any noteworthy movie has been brought out on DVD. And, of course, them making it for the DVD from the original tapes will result in much better quality than we could every possibly hope to achieve with converting old VHS tapes or laser discs to DVD.

Btw, if you have only one or two tapes you want converted, perhaps you should look out for stores that do that professionally, converting VHS and Beta tapes, as well as old 8 mm to DVD.


EDIT: On what do you have that material saved? Was that recorded by a digital camera? Or do you have only the tapes by now? I just finished writing a king-sized article on video-editing, so I’m still tuned up for challenges in that area. This time for free!

Yes you are confused. Im talking the Godfather Saga not trilogy. If you never have seen it your really missing something. What they did is put the 1st two movies in chronilogical order. It starts in 1908 and ends in 1980. They added extra scenes and there arent flashbacks but one continous story. It isnt on dvd and never will be. Oh I just found this.

Godfather Saga
Crime, 6hrs 26min
1977
Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro ...more
Originally screened as a mini-series on the NBC television network, this epic-length feature combines the entirety of The Godfather and The Godfather Part II with 15 minutes of outtakes from the two films, recutting the material into chronological order (clarifying the complex structure of The Godfather Part II, which jumped back and forth between events that occurred before and after the narrative of the first film). The Godfather 1902-1959: The Complete Epic tells the tale of the Corleone Family, from the arrival of Vito Corleone in the U.S. as a boy and his rise to criminal power as a young man (played by Robert DeNiro) to the decline of his empire decades later. While some of the original material was censored for television broadcast, when The Godfather 1902-1959: The Complete Epic was later released on home video, the altered footage was restored to its original content. However, this proved not to be the final and complete document of the Corleone saga, as Francis Ford Coppola added another chapter to the story nine years later with the release of The Godfather Part III. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Ahh sooooo... My bad. It seemed odd to me that you would make such a mistake, being in video business for so long, heh. I believe that I have heard of Godfather saga but it never made it over here to Europe. I stand corrected.
