I've had two machines uploading at around 80kbs each all night, so people should start receiving this now. How close is everyone from completion

 

[[M]artin]

I'm at 71% with a solid 100+ kbs right now, thanks again!

 

[[M]artin]

Just finished downloading it from the torrent, uploading to Samutz's server now...

 

[Mangofett]

I'm at 10%, with 5KBPS speeds >_>

i'll just get it from [m]artin

 

[Gaisuto]

How's the progress on this? A friend of mine wants to check this out.

 

[Samutz]

I see 880 MB uploaded so far. It was 300-something last night.

 

[Gaisuto]

Think you can throw me a PM when it's done?

 

[Samutz]

Well I think [M]artin's going to post it here when it's done.

 

[[M]artin]

Yeah, a few more hours to go...

This thing is nearly 3GB, it should be finished sometime late into tonight.

From what I understand, there are many files in this Video_TS folder (the folder you burn to a DVD to make it play on a DVD player) but the majority of space are 3 VOB files. These VOB files are mainly the DVD Video playback itself. The problem is, each one these VOB files is around 1GB each.

Now, I don't know about how fast your compy is but there will be two downloading options available:

1.) You can download each file separately and arrange them in a VIDEO_TS folder on your compy

2.) There will be a compressed file (WINRAR or WINZIP, something similar) that has all the files you need compressed into one. This is good, but just keep in mind that you will have to uncompress/unzip a 3GB folder onto your computer. You need a bit of HDD space and a bit of time if you dload the archived file.

Still uploading to Samutz's server, the second VOB file is 50% done, then the third VOB file will be uploaded right after that and the download will be made available to you shortly.

You can check back here for a link late tonight.

Got it! Converted it to a DPG for the R4.Â

:| The whole thing?

What is the file size now that it is in .DPG?

I'm wondering the same thing myself...

As I said before, the DVD Video is split up between 3 VOB files (a proggy that converts VOB to DPG?) and each one clocks in at about 1GB each. Unless you found a way to merge the VOBS back-to-back (that's one huge ass DPG file), I would assume that you would still have 3 very big DPG files...

By the way, 3rd (and final) VOB is being uploaded to Samutz's server as we speak...

I played the first few minutes of it and it was playing fine for me.

 

[[M]artin]

The direct download link from Samutz's server is coming...

Just being repackaged...

Yeah, mine was about 170megs too. Is yours off-center and bordered? No matter how I try to convert it, mine have that problem.

I've found 16fps to be the optimal framerate for DS vids. Left-and-right and up-and-down panning appears the smoothest at 16fps. I figure a divisable by 8 figure is always good, but 24 would just be too much for the DS....so I go with 16.

What framerate did you use?

Can somone either convert it to iPod format (mp4) or upload it to google video (like last time) so I can download it for my iPod?
It would be greatly appreciated.

Here are the seperate files, ready to download! (Be sure to thank Samutz for his hosting and bandwidth awesomeness):

http://martin.samutz.com/Metroid_Retrospective_DVD

---> You'll see a folder named VIDEO_TS. Enter it.

---> Make a folder called "VIDEO_TS" on your computer somewhere.

---> Once you have entered the folder on the site, download all 8 files and save each one to the VIDEO_TS folder on YOUR computer.

---> Once you have downloaded all 8 files to a VIDEO_TS folder on your computer, simply burn the VIDEO_TS folder to a DVD (using appropriate DVD-burning software) and you're ready to watch it on any DVD-player!

Once again, be sure to thank Samutz for providing the massive space and and great speeds for ya's!
