Widescreen trailers

[Kn'thrak]

did this come off the Robe DVD? Is their any indication about its origins?

Straight from the R4 The Robe DVD. Its only feature too.

>how to get access to orig. 3-D trailers is a whole other issue I won't bore you with!

Sorry, that was misguided sarcasm there.

Unlike widescreen, where there are sources online and in film archives, a lot of 3-D features were poorly archived, and I'm struggling to find any original 3-D trailers. Online, there are trailers for 'Kiss Me Kate', and 'Dial M For Murder' but they appear to be 'flat' while the one for 'House of Wax' plays flat but has 3-D overtones (no films clips, uses drawings in very lurid colours, almost like a 3-D comicbook)

Anyway, I've got a few leads that I'm following up, so will let you know if any surface!

That would be great! When you do that, can you let us know the links for 'Kiss me kate' , 'Dial M for murder', and 'House of wax'?
Did you ever get your 'The Robe' DVD? I forgot that I had it! I just ripped out the wide-screen trailers for 'The Robe', 'Cleopatra', and 'Demetrius and the Gladiators'-and have decrypted VOBs available. I noticed that the VOB
on the FTP site is 87MB, while the one I ripped out is 340MB-don't know if it's different, or just different size?

tkmops - Would be v. interested in seeing if there is a difference between your Robe trailer and the VOB on the FTP...

As for those (non) 3-D trailers, the ones I mentioned are all available via the TCM trailer links that editman posted here at Movie-List!

The links are:

Just played that VOB I ripped out of 'The Robe'
DVD-'The Robe' trailer plays full screen(letterboxed) and clocks in at 2:03. But, unknown to me until just
now, is that this 340MB VOB also contains the full screen, letterboxed trailers for 'The King and I'(new Jodie Foster version), and 'The Bible'.

[keef27]

If it runs 2:03 it's probably the same as the one on the FTP - does it open with roman soldiers riding left-right across screen and towards camera, with titles shouting "Timeless in its Greatness, Immortal in its Impact"?? (gotta love the 1950s!)

Thanks for checking, anyway - and you got 2 extra trailers as well!

[tkmops]

Yep, that's the one. Now, all I got to do is figure out how to 'break apart' that huge 370MB file into the 3 separate trailers. Once I know that I could go thru all my 600+ DVD collection and rip out all the trailers, and make them available to the group. Any MOD's out there know how to do this?

How did you rip the vob file? If you use DVD Decrypter, go to Tools, Settings, click on the File Mode tab. Set File Splitting to By Cell ID. That should do the trick. Whatever program you are using probably has the same option, although I have not been able to figure out how to do it in DVD Shrink. Mark, do you know?

[tkmops]

Yes, I'm using DVD Decrypter. Your instructions were right on! Works like a charm! When I first D/L it, I got it to work on the main large files, and didn't want to mess with all the options for fear of not being able to get back to where I was.
I've been poking around all the tabs--is there a way to decrypt and create clips from the main movie files, that start and end on certain frames, or times?
