where am i? not sure what this place is for, but i already like what i'm hearing! lol...sorry, couldn't help myself...feel free to delete this totally unnecessary comment!!
Wow, new place :)
Great! Been looking forward to a room like this for a long time...
Now, if someone can point the way toward some instructions on how to get comm's into MP3, the shares can commence! Oh, and please make sure the instructions are, like, easy enough for a five year old to follow. I am probably the least comp savvy person here. :)
Wise guy's, huh?
Fine then, my fuzzy little yard moles. I'll just pop this onto the main page so we can get to it. LMAO~!
@mcc.
One way is to capture the audio using the free open source software Audacity and then save in whatever format you want (the same function can also be used to record streaming online audio)
I also noticed that some people save out commentaries as .AC3 audio. You can pick up an AC3 to MP3 (or whatever format you want) plugin for Foobar 2000 - the ueber-audio-converter
Hey.. I get to make the first requests!
I'd love Tim Burton's commentary for Charlie and the Choc Factory (only to be found on the HD, as far as I know)
and Paul Schrader's NEW commentary for Mishima on the Criterion edition.
thanks, Bob.
What would be the rules for the "rare" comm track sharing?
Are we using the same sharing rules that we have for general soundtracks? Like, are we only sharing comm tracks that are one year old or older (nothing more recent)? And then anything more recent could be a Weekend Special?
Or do we go by format? As in, are laserdiscs & blu-ray exclusive commentaries okay where a more readily available DVD one might not be?
Or are all formats and vintages allowed, all the time, with no particular rules?
Just wondering how we should proceed. :)
Well, I'll repost....
SOUTHLAND TALES commentary track from the Blu-Ray release.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/jozr3e
@ -mcc - I'm fine with anything you wish to post. No need to put up rules that I can think of.
@ All - I'd really appreciate re-postings of everything that you've previously shared in the Filmscorium.
Thanks L. Rob Hubb!
My 2 cents:
Not so much as rules, but with the thoughts of not just posting tracks that are easily available.
Anything from the laserdisc era as most of those commentaries did not port over to the DVD especially if the LD was a Cr1ter1ion as they did not always maintain the rights for the DVD release. Janus did not want to just hand over the commentary without something for it, and most studios were not willing to pay them for it when they could just go and redo it themselves.
After that I would think Blu-Ray and HD-DVD, although I am not familar of any such commentary that was on the HD-DVD that did not make it over to the BD. Most people still have not taken the HD DVD plunge and are quite happy with the plain old DVD thus missing out on HD only commentaries.
Finally I do believe that there have been several double (or triple or quadruple) dip titles that have had the commentaries redone for one reason or another.
As commentaries are almost a given these days, I would think we would want this place to be for ones that we can't find at Wal-Mart.
Again just a thought...
Will repost all banned Bond commentaries here once G0ldfinger is ready. Have not been able to find the time to get on that one.
Looking forward to the surprises in this new forum!

Hi folks -
Has anyone or can anyone rip the ISO scores from the blu ray versions of Young Frankenstein and Escape from the planet of the apes ?
Thanks
Hi guys...
To rip an audiocommentary is easy...
1.Put in the DVD in the computer and start it up with the comm track.
Record it with audiograbber...
Then if necessary, convert the files to mp.3
Please dont' tell me this department has died already.
Word needs to get around, maybe.
Some rarities:

Thanks L. Robb for the Bond again. Missed it the first go around.
@L Ron Hubb
Thanks very much for the Cronenberg commentaries. Can I ask if the Deadringers and Videodrome ones are from the Criterion DVDs? Or were there different ones on the laserdiscs? Thanks.
Hi Folks
Thanks for these comentaries , however when I upack them some come as ACC Files and I cant play them .. any ideas?
@Goldiemusic
see my message above:
"I also noticed that some people save out commentaries as .AC3 audio. You can pick up an AC3 to MP3 (or whatever format you want) plugin for Foobar 2000 - the ueber-audio-converter"
DEAD RINGERS is from the Criterion laserdisc, which was ported to the now out of print DVD -- the current DVD has a newer commentary by Jeremy Irons.
VIDEODROME is from the Criterion DVD.
@L.Rob Hubb
Thanks. I didn't know about the Irons commentary! You're clearly a DC fan. Do you know of any release anywhere of Eastern Promises that had a chat-track?
So far, no; EASTERN PROMISES has no commentary, only a couple of interview segments. The new dvd of M. BUTTERFLY only has an interview segment also - no commentary.
BTW, the Criterion DR commentary actually features several people - in addition to Cronenberg, it features Jeremy Irons, Carol Spier (production designer) and Peter Suchitzky (director of photography).
@Brendan
Thanks for The Wolf Man

@bob00
Thanks for the Robocop. Is it different from the MGM disc?
@JADSTERSDAD
It has Paul Verhoeven, Jon Davison, Ed Neumeier, and Paul Sammon each recorded seperately.
Whereas the MGM has a group effort with Verhoeven, Davison, and Neumeier.
So there might be about 50% of material that is not repeated on the MGM disc.

thanks for robocop, superb quality
I'm surprised everyone suggested manually recording the entire track; that's too time-consuming.
The best way to save DVD audio is to demux the AC3. PGCDemux does this in about a minute.
www.videohelp.com/tools/PgcDemux
(Usually selecting "by VOB id" & "Titles" will give the desired results.)
The AC3 is the highest quality version of the audio -- and also the preferred format for creating a custom DVD.
So, here's rare alternate audio ... although not commentary. The Valerie Project -- musicians in Espers -- recorded this bit of psych-folk that syncs with PAL DVDs/DVDRips of Valerie a Týden Divu. The group did live shows along with the film in 2006-08.

Interesting thread you got here. Of note to Richard, it would have been nice to at least say you got the "Jason and the Argonauts" commentary link from Phaota's thread on KatzForums instead of just posting it with a "Here's something from another site to get things going". At least you did give a link to my audio commentaries thread below it. I have hundreds on there, as well as in my other one on www.tehparadox.com, including those for the original three Star Wars films.
Instead of using DeMuxer or recording a commentary with a program like Super MP3 Recorder, you can also use the excellent "Xilisoft DVD Audio Ripper". Of course, there are the occasional weird DVDs that don't like to be ripped (Underworld 2, National Treasure 2) and recording them during play is the only option.
For the link to my hundreds of audio commentaries, you can find them here:

@ Phaota - I appreciate that you visited and shared all the information about your various sites.
I know it can be disconcerting to find your property posted on a blog other than your own.
Being as we are a totally open blog, I'm surprised that this doesn't happen more often.
I hope this hasn't caused any hard feelings and that you drop by from time to time. We are a mere pup at this subject, so your input will be truly appreciated.
Welcome to FranklyYES, Phaota!
Just for the record, those SW commentaries were my own rips.
Does anyone else see the irony and absurdity over arguing over 'poached property' on sites such as this?
Get over ourselves...
Unless you personally assembled the talent, recorded it, paid off everyone and oversaw the distribution of it, using the phrase "my property" in regard to files, is absurd and hypocritical.
My own opinion, obviously.
Here's my rip of Peter Bogdanovich's commentary to Citizen Kane:
http://www.mediafire.com/?i3tnlfuymlx
@ L.Rob Hubb - Plunking a Cd into your computer, hitting "rip" and uploading it is nothing.
When you've ripped Lp's, Vhs', or DvD's it get's time consuming, so I understand why people get sore when another person post's it as if it was theirs.
I'm not saying anyone here did that.
But I sure as hell know how it feels when it's been done to me.
Sometimes I feel like Jeffrey Scott Arnold and tell people in a nice "for the record" way.
Mostly I don't unless it's a friend like filmpac or Tony.
That's just me. I try to respect other peoples point's of view.
@Isbum
I fully understand that... I've had some of my own rips poached in the past.
It's frustrating, but I think that you just have to let it go, just to stay sane. Once it's uploaded, it's pretty much out of one's hands.
Otherwise, one has to figure out ways to put ownership on it - and, as before, that gets ironic and absurd, considering the nature of sharing on sites like this. If you didn't want to share it, then why go to all of this trouble?
@ L.Rob Hubb - Sharing's like showering in prison, if you got a pretty one, someone's gonna tag it! ;)
I'm not sore over it, just thought it would have been kind to give credit to the original person that posted it since a link to the location was given. No hard feelings or anger. Just desired to note the situation, that's all.
I do hope everyone pops by either of the sites and enjoys the rips I've put up. Unless I give credit (and I always do) to someone else for a share, all of the rips were done from my own collection of DVDs. I also snag commentaries from full DVD-R rips found on tehparadox. So, some of the ones I have in the collection were created that way, like "District 9", "Ice Age 3", "Star Trek"(before it came out), "Mad Max 2"(taken from the Blu-ray since it was not put on the new DVD re-release. Great commentary too) and a few others. Not many though. Nearly all of them are from my own discs.
Bob00, thanks for the excellent "Robocop Criterion Laserdisc" commentary. I have posted it in my thread on Paradox, giving you credit of course. I also shared the two awesome "Fright Night" commentaries as well. Cleaned them of hiss and amplified the volume and voice levels in the second one too. It really needed it and is now on par to the first one. Listening to the first commentary right now. Really enjoyable.
@Phaota
No problem, of the comms i've uploaded it's currently out in front in downloads.
I'm currently going through you katz thread get right now nabbing some stuff before the rapidshare changes come into effect. Does it apply to all accounts, or just the ones over 50 gigs?
Also thanks to everyone who has gone to the trouble to rip and upload stuff
Also you guys might be interested in this site
http://creativescreenwritingmagazine.blogspot.com/
Well worth the effort.
That's cool, Bob00. Glad you are enjoying the thread on Katz. No worries about the upcoming Rapidshare situation of files being deleted if not active over 60 days. As told in the note at the top of the page, if someone finds a commentary not working, just leave me a note and I will re-up it. Please do leave a thank you message on the thread to keep it at the top of the forums active threads. Thanks.
I just put up the two commentaries for the excellent "Moon" film, and the Criterion Laserdisc commentary for the great "The Game" movie from 1997.
This might be a little obscure but does anyone have the commentaries Peter Greenaway made for "A ZED AND TWO NOUGHTS" and "THE DRAUGHTSMAN'S CONTRACT"? I've wanted to hear those for ages. Thanks very much.
Regarding those James Bond commentaries...
Does anyone know a link to the Criterion laserdisc transfers (that have those commentaries and special features)of those first three Bond films? I believe they're referred to as "Banned Bond"....
@Jeffrey Scott Arnold
Look in the listings around Oct. 29... you may find something interesting.
I noticed someone asked for the "Silence of the Lambs Criterion Collection" commentary a little while back. I just put it up on both of my commentaries thread. Scroll up for the links. Will be added more very soon.
I'm actually looking for the fan-made transfers of the actual dvd and it's special features (including the commentaries). They've been floating around, and was wondering if anyone knew a torrent link or something.
L. Rob, thanks for sharing the great James Bond commentaries. I have cleaned them up of hiss, fixed the low bitrate and put them on my commentary threads in AC3 format. If you would like copies of the new versions, they can be found among the hundreds of other contributions here:
