LOTR HD?!?!?

[mythy]

So whats going on here where are they? :(

Edit: Never mind they will be released in 2010 as a box set :(

[Ruined]

The encoding for the first LOTR was apparently done in 2007. I am guessing we will see a theatrical boxset Q4 2008, extended in 2009 or 2010.

[crainger]

Should be a good set. The DVDs looked amazing. The disc swapping mid movie is a little annoying though. Still good time for a toilet break.

I dunno if I'd rebuy the set though. I mean the movies grew on me. In the cinema I hated the first, liked the second and never saw the third. But after splurging in the 3 Spec Ed boxes when i found them 75% off, I have say. They are great viewing.

[mythy]

why on earth does it take them so damn long :(

[Tork64]

I have a capture of Return of the King in HD, 30Gigs. But yeah moment its out for legit ill be buying it, probably will be much better than these captures.

I have FOTR (non-Extended Edition) (http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/2811/thelordoftheringsthefelca6.jpg), TTT (Extended Edition) (http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/9049/lordoftheringsthetwotowey0.jpg), and ROTK (non-Extended Edition) (http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/6743/thelordoftheringstheretqs8.jpg).
All 1920x1080 MPEG2 DD5.1 HDTV captures, from like 2 years ago.

By the way, here is a HDTV-to-DVD comparison I made early this year.
The Lord of the Rings - The Return Of The King
14GB Standard Definition (2x 7GB DualLayer PAL DVD Extended Edition, 4h11min) vs. 27GB 1920x1080i 50Hz

I'm hoping that you're HD rip is just someone who unconverted the DVDs to 1080p. Maybe it's the JPG image compression, but those images look like crap compared to other HD-DVD movies.

not if you own them. I own the entire set. Besides if its on TV theres no law that says you cant record it ! Hello DVR/VCR?!?!?


So no theres nothing illegal going on over here ;)


The funny thing is back when that was broad casted the films wernt encoded to HD DVD so it must just be unconverted very well. Kinda amazing if you ask me

i think the rips are from HDTV....

there's people claiming to have Star Wars hd videos and i'm pretty sure they're the same thing...

[evilchris]

TV HD sucks ****. Nothing near actual HD. Dish and cable HD is "HD-lite".

You do not own the entire set as it has never been sold. When the HD version comes out, do I get them for free since I own the DVD's? What moronic "reasoning" if you think owning the DVD entitles you to every single version ever again released in any medium. Downloading an illegal duplication on the Internet != hitting record on a VCR connected to a cable box. Pirates like you are the very reason we have such retarded pain in the ass "inventions" like HDMI and DRM. By your logic, I guess Youtube should start having movies there for free. Afterall, if they air on TV they must be free!

Additionally, you knowingly bypassed encryption and copy protection schemes if you have a PC transfer of something that aired in HD on Cable or Satellite.

[mythy]

You have some good points. but.. Do you believe one can not record what there watching on there TV for viewing latter? What if they use a PVR PC like I do? So I recorded LOTR and yet I own the DVD's. Does that make me a pirate?

As others have said the HD DVD's were not out back then they are just playing the DVD and being unconverted. So really there just playing what I have. How is that stealing? If I have a damaged disc of a move and then download the disc from the web does that make a pirate? Some people are way to quick to claim thief or pirate. Sure it is a morally grey area but its not nearly that serious.

Which one is the lie and which is the truth?

One of these is legal:

1. Downloading a movie on the Internet from ANY SOURCE which is not authorized.
2. Recording a movie using a PVR, VCR, DVD Recorder etc sourced from an OTA broadcast, cable, satellite etc for personal in home viewing at a later time.

Is this so difficult? If you do #1 you are a pirate, period, and responsible for the current nightmare state of DRM. Quit trying to justify your stealing. The "I broke my disc" argument holds no weight either. The only thing I can find in my house where I get a free replacement if I break it is Craftsman Tools.

The bottom line is you have no respect for others' property. It isn't up to YOU to determine how serious it is, it is up to the OWNER OF THE PROPERTY to determine how serious it is to them, with matters concerning THEIR PROPERTY. They have determined it to be a big deal. I hope someone robs you someday.

[mythy]

the top was hypothetical why on earth would i be dling it if I had it :p The point is if you bought it once you should have a right to grab another copy if you need it. Not another disc tho that would be wrong since some one had to pay for it to make it. But as far as a digital copy its not hurting any one. You already paid for it once. People like you support Bioshcoks statement on the 3 installs and family use. They commented that if you payed for it why should your brother get to play it... Its just ****ing stupid

The same goes for newspapers. You paid for it its yours. No one else has that rite to read it its not theres. If they wish to read it they need to bu ya copy. Now you tell me you never let any one read your magazine or a news paper you bought? Your a ****ing Thief and a Pirate! Shame on you!!!! :D Your hurting newspaper sales and should be locked up!

Doesn't sound fair does it? Actually it sounds stupid but its true. Sharing a newspaper is a crime.

[evilchris]

blahblahblah.

You still don't get it. You don't have a "right" to ****. The property owner however, does. It isn't up to you. It is up to the owner of the material.

Wow, Mr Internet police, either do something about it or stop bitching.

[mythy]

Ok well some people are just really stuck up and morally perfect. I am guessing your one off them. Thank god I am not :p I am a firm believer in try before you buy and "once its paid for its yours" If I buy a DVD and the disk is scratched I feel that I am 100% with in my right to grab a copy on line. I am sorry you do not see it that way. Luckily for me there are millions around the world that agree with me. :D I am a big fan of LOTR and I will do what it takes to get my hands on it in HD and when its officially released they will get my money. If DLing a copy of the same movie I already owns makes me a thief then tattoo a pirate on my ass and be done with it...

Wow, Mr. Idiot Kid with a crap job and no money. What I am doing about it is laughing at what a broke ass loser you are.

Here's the kicker junior, you can't "DL it in HD". Crap ass recordings from TBSHD with commercials don't count.

I actually do know of an official release in Blu-Ray that is available shortly but am not going to tell you how to aquire it legally since you're such a bad ass bit torrent kid.
