If they do as many ***s as i do, they've already forgotten.

-edit-

Nor do I understand how cutting out ads would suddenly make the original quality deteriorate.

1- For me,my specialty is downloading internet movies or u-tube videos. thus a fast internet connection is needed. I also edit liscensed DVD movies. I then use edit software. then upload it on a blank recordable DVD disk.

2- cutting out ads & splicing scenes in a edit program won't make the original quality deteriorate. I was referring to the meager 2 minute exaggeraged time frame to get this done that cotcoss2012 said it can get done in. I explained that the companies hire professionals that take days/weeks/months to edit this stuff to make it look as superior as possible. Sorry I just don't see a quickie 2 minute edit job looking that great. 2 minutes is only 120 seconds to get the edit job done.

ah see that makes more sense.

You need a faster connection to pirate!

Sure,I have no doubt it can take under 2 minutes to cut out the intro's & outro's,but the quickie end result won't look top notch. people who really care about top quality will spend at least a hour making sure it's perfect & top notch quality.

After some thinking after I wrote this reply above. I came to the conclusion that 2 minutes/120 seconds is too short of a time to edit out the intro's & outros's then splice everything together in under 2 minutes & produce a finsished project using edit software.

my whole reason for all my replies was to "question" the 2 minute/120 seconds time to get the edit job done.

Sure, no problem. But are we talking just CGI robot time, or that plus real vehicle time? Because that movie must have at least an hour of General Motors product-placement... and if we're counting vehicle time, then are we counting "Sam and Mikaela talking to each other while Sam is driving Bumblebee" footage or "Mikaela admiring Bumblebee's fuel injectors" footage?

...

Never mind. The answer is that the robots are on-screen for precisely 42 seconds.

My apologies. It was an easy mistake for me to make because what you were saying really made no sense in the context of what we were talking about.

Also, "editing" only has one "t" in it. They probably should have gone over that in class.

True, but video editing doesn't involve uploading or downloading anything, so I'm not sure why you're bringing that up. Yes, ripping DVD footage and preparing it to be edited using the most mathematically accurate method possible would require some third-party programs, but they're pretty damn small. Smartripper is less than half of a megabyte, AVISynth 2.5.8 is four megabytes, TMPEnc is 1.7 megs, and dgmpegdec is barely a third of a megabyte. This stuff downloads quickly even if you're using dial-up.

Tidalwavex wrote:i'd assume the TF Prime 5 part episodes are over 20 minutes each.

With intro and outro, they should be 22 minutes and 30 seconds.

Tidalwavex wrote:so the time is about 1 hour & 40 minutes waiting for the files on the computer to download on to a blank DVD.

You don't "download" to a DVD. You burn to a DVD. You download from this wonderful thing called the "Internet"...

It will for those of us who already have the proper software suite

Okay, 2 minutes may have been a hyperbole. The process may, in fact, take as much as seven minutes if I've been drinking heavily.

Tidalwavex wrote:using a sharpie marker instead of a printed out label to place on my finished recored DVD isn't my style. if i'm gonna do this it's gotta look professional & not sharpie marker style.

So you're willing to pay $10 just so the disc has a pretty-looking label.

Well, it's your money, man.

Ah. And this has what relevance to a discussion about ripping footage from DVDs...?

Months? Just to cut out the intro and outro sequences? Dude, let me show you what I can do in literally four hours:

Yeah, it's not finished and I need to do something about the aspect ratio changes, but whatever. The bottom line is that if some takes "days/weeks/months" to splice five half-hour episodes of a TV show into a movie, then they spent days/weeks/months playing WoW and about two minutes doing their actual jobs.

I'm getting tired of seeing these little snipes from you. Quit it.

That "this is sparta kick" hahaha. If only 300 was actually as good as Tron.
42 seconds? seriously? hurt, haha. Well I just meant actual robot cg time.

I find it particularly amusing that you seem to think all we did was bump the episodes together. Unless you have unedited and unmixed audio stems and original shots without the commercial fades to black, you can't reproduce what was created for the feature-length version of Transformers: Prime - Darkness Rising. Oh, you can create an inferior knockoff, but that's exactly what it is.

Thank you, Mr Ward, for giving me another reason to go out and buy the Darkness Rising movie DVD.
