I really LIKED this 70's series, so it's good that it's available. However, I really DISLIKE avi format, because I like to be able to pop a quick burn right into my old DVD player & browse around w/ menus.
OK .. so here's the deal. I collected all of LotL Season 1 from PirateBay torrents, recoded them all through tMPGenc, normalized the audio, and compiled the first 17 episodes into two DVD discs w/DVDLabPro. The original torrents were of highly varying quality, frame sizes, frame rates, sources, etc.. A few episodes were coded from VHS off a standard broadcast, for example. I tried pretty hard to retain or improve the original quality, but I didn't go crazy. The results:
{Poor/Fair: Skylons, Elsewhen}
{Fair/Good: Cha-Ka, SleestakGod, Dopey,Downstream, TagTeam, Stranger,Possession}
{Good/VG: Album, Hole, Paku/Dinner, Search, Follow/Dinosaur, StoneSoup, Circle,
Hurricane}
I did bend the rules on mixing frame sizes in a VTS a little - combining 352x240 w/704x480 - but my player handled it easily.
More info: Each episode has a label & snapshot on the title menu, which you can select. I hate having to watch the opening credits every time I start an episode, so when you select a title, it will jump right into the story. I used the opening credits as a looping background action menu for Disc #1, and the closing credits as a looping action background for Disc #2. If you let them play, each disc will play all episodes sequentially, then return to the title menu.
So here it is. I hope it makes life easier for people. I wish the starting quality was better - it's hard to recover quality from bad compressions. But I'm happy w/ the results.
Enjoy .. hope it plays OK .. & Please Seed, because I won't be able to for long!
