Hi Steve,

Downloaded Disc 5 (version 1) from you, 4.125 GB in about 4 hrs and 45 minutes if i recall correctly.

ZIP-file opened just fine (Windows XP internal ZIP manager). Burned files to DVD, played perfectly with my Pioneer DVD player.

Everyone,

Just wondering how the FTP site is working for people that have already downloaded? Looks like everyone is getting some good download speed (T1 speeds or greater) -- that's great! I want to be sure they all play properly.

Looks like if you try to unzip D5-DemoV2.zip with WinRar it fails. However, if you unzip with WinZip (or Ultimate Zip), it expands without fail.

Also, if anyone wants to upload Disc 4 and/or 6, please PM me. Else, mail me the DVD and I'll put it up on the site for everyone to enjoy :)

Thanks,
Steve
Heya Steve,

Thanks for hosting. I am currently DL'ing, and getting good speeds. I can't speak to the Demo5 v2, but it looks like someone else already got it from you and said it worked great.

Thanks again,
-Scott

Hey swithey,

I'll give uploading a shot, send me the info

I'd like to get in on the action as well. I'd be willing to host some on high speed connection and also provide burns to those that need it.

Thanks,

The new D5 (D5-DemoV2.zip) is up there and ready for download. I have someone downloading and testing it out. We'll know if it's OKAY in a few hours.

There was one user that was about 20% completed on the OLD D5 and I stopped the download. I apologize but did not want you to waste your time downloading a possible corrupt file. Please restart your download with the new version :)

Steve

Hey Steve, that was probably me. I was doing the downloads from my job as they have a T1 line. Unfortunately I won't be able to check on it until I go to work tomorrow.

ricwilli,

The new version has been confirmed to be okay. You just need to unzip it with anything other than WinRar. Disc 5 is very well done. You will enjoy it :)

All I use is winrar. I guess I'll have to download winzip this one time :( .

Tomorrow when I get into work, I;ll re-zip with the "real" WinZip (or possibly WinRar ;)). I had used ultimate zip to make this one. It must not be as compatible with everything.

Thanks to FinalHeaven for all 5 of the discs. Just like he gave back, now it's my turn. The 1st 5 people who PM gets all 5 discs. I need your address to send the discs to so include that. I will pay for the shipping and the discs. Will send out as soon as I get them done.

I've also sent you a PM :) Thanks to all who've been sending this out and offering everything up for downloads :)

OK mine are taken. I will be sending 1-5 out to the following:

jbhungvt
jvinsepa
mleineke
toolman70
big worms


Disks 1-5 were sent out to the above this past weekend.

I have gleaned a wealth of knowledge from this board, and this is a nice way to really make someones day.

I have a dvd burner, but haven't used it yet, and will struggle through learning how to use it for this purpose.

Thanks to all here.

can someone send them out to me as well? please let me know what you need so i can expereince like everyone else, thank you in advance for you cooperation

You've got my PM :) Not sure if you've gotten 5 yet, let me know!

You might want to recheck who you sent it to. I got one from you with all of your info, but I don't have the discs yet...

Everyone,

Thanks for the kind words about your download experience. Glad it's all working out :)

One quick update. I replaced D5-Demo-V2.zip with D5-Demo.zip. "D5-Demo-Zip" will unzip with WinRar. Guess I need to stay with good 'ole WinZip vs. UltimateZip. WinRar woud not ZIP it (RAR would have worked) because the file size was too large. WinZip did not care.

Both version are still on the server. There is one user still downloading the old V2 version. Once he/she is done, I'll delete it from the server.

In the meantime, feel free to download the latest D5-Demo.zip.

Steve

Ok, I have all the requests already. Originally it was for the first 5 but got 7 request and will send out to all who I PM to. Please do the same when you get it and pay forward so that others may have it.

I received my set... first five PMs with address in USA get up to all five discs.

Responses I got from the 2 testers

"it's awesome. That drum demo is just too crazy"

"Great demo! Very nice job! You've got an excellent selection of clips. It had my audio system dancing a jig!"

Haven't heard from the 3rd

The DTS dsic contains

Chicken Run DTS ES
U571
AvP
LOTR Two Towers DTS ES
Spiderman 2 superbit

Patriot superbit
Apollo 13 1509kbps
LOTR DTS ES
Jurassic Park III superbit
The Haunting DTS ES
Minority Report

Only thing I was not able to do was a menu, the program to do menus would cause audio sync issues and reduce the audio quality, thus defeating the purpuse of an audio demo disc.


I sent swithey a copy to be available for downloading soon, also I'll start a vine.

This is getting to confusing..... I am on two list right now (jvinsepa and kweezr). Originally I got on jvinsepa list cause he has disks 1-5. I also got on kweezr cause he has Disk # 6.

jvinsepa, I know I sent you a pm stating to send me Disks 1-5. Please "DO NOT" send them. I will get all the disks from kweezr. It does not make sense for kweezr to send me only one disk.

kweezr, I pm you for only disk # 6. Please send me all the disk # 1-6.

jvinsepa and kweezr I will pm you again. Sorry for the confusion.

Everyone,

Well, the FTP server has been maxed out for the past day and a half. That's great -- glad you guys are getting value. I have good news, I have an faster CPU I can install in the box to possibly squeeze in a few more users to download. Bandwidth is not an issue, it's the PC that does not have enough horsepower.

However, to do this, I need to bring down the server. It should only be down for about 15 minutes but it will interrupt the current downloads. Assuming you are using a full featured FTP client, once you reconnect, you will resume your download where you left off. If I could ask everyone that is NOT currently downloading to let the current users reconnect (once the server is restored) to finish their downloads.

I plan on bring it down at 9:30AM CT today (11/8). I am sorry for the disconnect but I want to make sure I can share it with the most people possible.

NOTE -- don't forget to share your downloaded DVDs with others or this whole concept will never work :)

Steve

How hard is it to build an FTP Server???????????????

Ricwilli,

I'm going to take that as a jab in the side with a nudge after that :D

The CPU upgrade did not work. I'll see if I can scrounge up another PC to use. Remember everyone, this is old spare box that I'm using. Let me see if I have anything else I could use and we'll go from there.

In the meantime, looks like the original users are starting to reconnect. Wow, technology works!

Steve

Thanks swithey for all your effort! The connection speed is awesome!

Any ideas when you will have the new Demo Disc 6? :)

HEY!!!!!!! I didn't mean it like that at all.........If it is easy to build one, I would like to try. That way the avs members can also download from it.

jvinsepa, I have sent you a PM. Please let me know if you already have 5 replies. Thanks.

I have room to send out 2 more sets

HEY!!!!!!! I didn't mean it like that at all.........If it is easy to build one, I would like to try. That way the avs members can also download from it.

FTP servers are a pretty easy setup. The problem lies with internet bandwidth. While my internet cable access is 5 Mbps download it is only 256 kbps up. The key is to have lots of outgoing bandwidth so guys like me can leech stuff off your server as fast as we can get it.

Once I learn how to build one, I'll make sure not t give you access :D

Yes, very easy to build one. And if you want to do it -- GO FOR IT. The more we get, the better :)

All you need is any PC (Pentium 3 or faster) and an FTP server package. I recommend a stronger FTP server package so you can see who's connected, control bandwidth and limit the number of concurrent users. If you cannot limit the connections, everyone suffers because the PC becomes too overloaded and no one can download anything.

But, the most importantly is your UPSTREAM bandwidth. The greater the bandwidth, the more people can download at the same time. For example, my Comcast account at home is 10Meg down but only 768k up. 768k could support maybe (2) people. Okay, it could support more, but when downloading a 4Gig file, you want higher bandwidth or it will take weeks to download a disc.

This is the Windows based FTP software package I'm using. They have a FREE (2) user version, $$ for more concurrent users:
Serv-U (www.serv-U.com)

Let me know if you (or anyone out there) needs help!

Why not go with ********** or ed2k? With BT, files will spread much faster and you dont have to upload so much like ftp and ftp it's one person's work. I'll use BT when I get the demo discs to help others who dont have them and want them.
Thanks!

Can anyone help me with an FTP problem? I can log onto Steve's site ok (using CuteFTP for Mac OSX) and login but after this:

I then get this:

Am I allowed to post a link to the demo5 bt file?

I have downloaded D2 and D5. I have only tried D2 and it works well. D5 is downloaded and burned to disc but just have not tried it out yet.

I have created 2 demo's a while back and I am currently uploading them to Swithey. They will be D7 and D8 once he has checked them out and makes them available. I have sent him a list of what is on each disk and he will post them all when ready and has it available on his FTP server.

Thanks this is a great idea.... glad I could give something back. I have also passed the two disc's that I downloaded on to two people.

Have fun and enjoy,

thanks, just PM me and i can reply back with my address. thank you

If you are having trouble loggin in try changing the setting to passive in cuteftp.

MikeRich, you got a PM

wow disc 7 and 8. I'm not the only one who is addicted to these. Saves me pulling out disc after disc to watch just one seen. I find myself spending the afternoon watching demo discs instead of movies! Especially fun after a tweak or a tune up!

LFE_DEMO.ISO is available via ftp. It is split into 8 files use JAxe. http://www.geocities.com/JAxe02/download.html

Please make sure you download and can execute JAxe before asking for ftp address, username/password.

PM me when you are ready to download.

pandasys,

Thanks for the FTP help!! These things are going like hotcakes around here :D

I have a few updates for you:

1) I found out the bottleneck was not my PC but the old Linksys Router I was using. I have replaced it with a newer DLink that handles twice the bandwidth of the Linksys. I'm still capping total number of concurrent connections at (8) but you should get a bit more download speed (since most of you have T1 or faster connections). Max download speed (assuming 4 or fewer users) is 2.5Meg/per user :) Side Note -- during the router upgrade, the network connection was interrupted. I apologize for that.

2) We have a new FTP site available from another AVSer (pandasys/Eric). Check out his post HERE (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=6503611&&#post6503611) here

3) Disc 6 should be arriving soon (courtesy of kweezr -- thanks!). Once I have it, I'll upload it to the site.

4) New Disc 7 and 8 are now available. These were created by Rheal_Dubreuil. They are full of some really good stuff.

5) Now, that we have SO many DVDs to pick from, I put a doc up on the FTP site that details every Disc. Please let me know if I have any errors or additions. I have included the name of the author for each disc but I am missing names for D2, D3 and D4. If you are the author or know who the author is, please let me know. I've also attached the .DOC file to this post.

Lastly, enjoy the demos. I'm currently in the middle of my HT construction and can't wait to show it off with these Discs. PM me if you need access to the site.

That's how it was given to me. I'll see about putting it into a large ZIP file.

I downloaded demo 5 fom the FTP site and used winzip to unzip the file. Once unzip it contained a number of files with BUP, IFO, VDO extensions.

What do I do with these files? In other words, Demo 1 was an ISO image so I just burn that to a CD but I do not know what to do with these files that came with Demo 5.

I am going to assume Demo 3 is also like this.


Help for a newbie at this!!!

Use nero (vision express I think) select the dvd video option, add the ts_video folder and it will burn it perfect for you

Any word on where we are at in the first vine Dwien set up? And if all 6 dics are included? I'm anxiously awaiting to try out my new burner and pass them on.

Thanks I downloaded it last night. Question, who do you use WinRar to put it back together? Just unzip it to one folder or is there another way.

To use winrar just double click on the 1st rar file and select extract all

Well CuteFTP has started working and I've managed to download most of disc 1. In the meantime, if anyone with a paypal account is prepared to spend a little bit extra at the post office on my behalf to get any other discs to the UK then I'd be delighted to reimburse them electronically for their time and trouble.

Hi all... Who do I need to speak to get hold of disc 6.... I'm in Australia.

I see that some people are sending the Disc's around via mail.. probably not the best option.. I can use FTP, I'm also willing to distibute it via FTP once I have downloaded it. Also willing to chip in via pay pal if need be.

Everyone,

I received D6 from kweezr today (thanks kweezr). But, unfortunately, the disc was damaged. I've managed to copy everything from it except for these (4) large files:

VTS_04_1.VOB --- 210,478kb
VTS_10_1.VOB --- 403,200kb
VTS_12_1.VOB --- 288,410kb
VTS_40_1.VOB --- 345,522kb

If anyone has D6, I would love if you could upload those (4) files to my server. Once I get those files uploaded, I will put D6 out there for everyone to download.

Please PM me if you are interested. You'll need a special login to have upload privileges.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Steve

Everyone,

Wanted to refresh the FTP server rules. I just want to be sure everyone has a chance to get on and download. Max connections has been the case over the past fews days. Please be considerate of others and download one disc, disconnect, try it out and then reconnect to download the next disc.

1) PM me and I will give you a username and password to gain access to the site

2) Because of CPU overload, I am limiting the number of simultaneous downloads at the same time. Please be considerate of others and download only 1 DVD at a time to keep the slots open for others. Also, please connect with "Passive Mode" turned off. When it is enabled, it uses (2) connections which counts as (2) users.

3) Use a robust FTP client (not IE) that supports auto-resume in case your connection gets cut off for any reason – that way the download will pickup where it left off. (i.e. WS_FTP or CuteFTP )

4) PLEASE, PLEASE do not try to download these DVDs over dialup or 128kb ISDN – it will take literally weeks to get the image.

5) This is a hobby for all of us, so please bear with me if issues come up. It’s an older/spare box I had sitting around.

6) If you try to download and max connections are reached, please try again later.

I’ll add Discs 4 and 6 once I get them. If anyone wants to send them to me (or has a fast upstream pipe I can use to download quickly), please PM me.

Enjoy.

Steve

Has the login/password changed?

tkwok,

All 5 slots are filled for disk 6. Do you still want disc 5 or a copy of disc 6 instead?

Also, I'm in contact with kweezr in also trying to sort out disc 6. Apparently, my copy seems to be damaged as well. It can only play on 1 dvd player, and I keep hitting a redundancy error everytime I either try to decrypt or deshrink the file. Hopefully we'll resolve this issue soon and I'll start sending out the copies.

victor

victor,

just hold off on disc #5 for now then (sorry about the mix up) I think swithey is trying to put disc #6 on his FTP. When he does, i'll just grab it from his FTP instead.

thanks for your patience,
tony

Does anyone know if there is a known problem veiwing dvd movies on DVD +R? The reason I ask is because I just bought a pack of 100 DVD +R for 24.99. They are on sale and I thought it was a bargain. I'm just waiting for kweezr to send me the demo's. Than I can make copies and distribute. I am not going to burn all 100 dvd's.

The following disks were sent out yesterday by 1st class mail: (or in other words, time for the following people to get bombarded with PM's :D )


I will be sending out the following as soon as copies are completed:

dwien: Disks 4&5
RLM5150: #1-5

The wait is over -- Disc #6 is now up on the FTP site. I viewed it briefly a few minutes ago and it has some spectacular DTS content on it. Since I had my kids watching with me, I was only able to view at 100% the Chicken Run and Apollo 13 clips. However, I stepped through all the rest and they all play perfectly.

Great job on the D6, kweezr. A wonderful addition to the mix!

One NOTE --> There are NO menus on this DVD. Kweezr did not include any since the menus caused the audio to be out of sync.

Bclews/Bud -- What program did you use to keep your DTS chapters in sync? Both Kweezr and I want to know. BTW Bud, thanks for uploading the missing D6 files I needed :)

Switney;
Thanks for all you hard work and effort. I'm sure the board appreciate your time an effort. I wanted to provide some feed back to you on the demo. As I stated in an earlier message, I burned disc five. However, It has some problems. the video is fine, but some of the modules has no sound. For instance,Master and Commander, Flight of the Phoenix, and Open range all have no sound. I'm not sure if anyone else has this problem. Other than that, its a great disc, thanks again. Has anyone else experienced the same problem?

I wonder if anyone can help. I have been trying to FTP the demo discs from Swithey site and whilst I appear to be able to connect to the site and end up in the correct directory I can't see any files, Swithey can see me connected.

In the log file I see the LIST command followed by
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls. but no list of files appears and it says it is 0 object(s) 0 bytes.

steve

You are behind some type of firewall preventing active ftp. The ftp client that you use should have the ability to set passive mode. The NT command line can NOT do ftp, use ncftp for command line, it defaults to passive. You can use IE. Go to Tools>Internet Options>Advanced and look for "Use Passive FTP" and you can just use IE.

The URL would be something like: ftp://usernameyouhave@ftp.site.goes.here

IE will prompt for a password, voila'.

Thanks Avdork however I believe the site doesn't support passive mode. I am running two firewalls zonealarm and the standard XP SP2 version. any idea how to set these up for active mode?

Steve

Having looked at zonealarm I needed to set the site as a trusted site - voila problem resolved many thanks AvSOrk and Swithey for your help on this.

Steve

Great job on the D6, kweezr. A wonderful addition to the mix!

One NOTE --> There are NO menus on this DVD. Kweezr did not include any since the menus caused the audio to be out of sync.

Bclews/Bud -- What program did you use to keep your DTS chapters in sync? Both Kweezr and I want to know. BTW Bud, thanks for uploading the missing D6 files I needed


Thanks swithey! if only I could figure out the menus.

Disc 1&2, maybe 3 have a few DTS tracks. I'd like to know what program was used to create
those menus. Bclews #5 doesn't contain any DTS that I'm aware of.

Great job on the D6, kweezr. A wonderful addition to the mix!


I agree! Great job!

Regarding the DTS tracks. I worked through several programs in an attempt to get DVDLab Pro to sync the DTS audio. I believe it was Rejig that finally fixed the problem and allowed me to import the audio and video separately and in sync (I could be wrong).

However, when looking at the DLPro project several clips SHOW as DTS (Master and Commander, Flight of the Phoenix, Alison Krauss), but when I view them in my theater they PLAY as DD??

Don't know what to tell ya...

Regarding the DTS tracks. I worked through several programs in an attempt to get DVDLab Pro to sync the DTS audio. I believe it was Rejig that finally fixed the problem and allowed me to import the audio and video separately and in sync (I could be wrong).


I used Rejig also and about 2/3 of the clips were out of sync. Bud did you change any of the settings in ReJig? I just used the default. What settings did you use in DLP?

Let me play around with it again to see if I can re-create what I did.

Finally I managed to get #6, 7 & 8 demo disks downloaded from Swithey's server using Cuteftp 7. Thanks Swithey for the easy-to-follow instructions too!

Special thanks to all those who compiled the various disks: Clarence, Bclews, Kweezr, Rheal Dubreuil and ricwilli (for the Nero link which actually loads in about 3 seconds on my computer).

I just bought a Samsung SH-W162C DVD burner that comes with software which automatically updates its firmware, including Nero. So now I have Nero 6.6.0.18 which looks a bit different from Nero 5+ (which the links above refer to).

To burn the saved files using Nero 6, choose Recode DVD-Video or Recode Main Movie to DVD , then choose Import DVD and import your source file as per the previous instructions for Nero 5.

Now it's time to enjoy showing these clips to "unsuspecting guests" who ask for a "demo". ;)

hello

has anyone else here downloaded disc #6 from swithey's FTP yet? I grabbed it the other night but I can't seem to extract the ZIP file.

Hey Tony... I downloaded D6 from swithey and it worked fine. unfortunatly you may have a currupt download.

oh crap, i'll restart it again then. :(..thanks for the heads up

Hey Tony... I downloaded D6 from swithey and it worked fine. unfortunatly you may have a currupt download.

Luke, I zipped it with Winzip. Try Ultimate zip or Winzip to extract. We've had issues with WinRAR for some reason extracting Ultimate/WinZip ZIPs sometime.

I know it's good because I actually download it (just like everyone else) from my own server, extracted and burned to DVD. One other option is the ZIP was corrupted on download. One problem with (1) large ZIP file :(

Steve

swithey, i sent you a PM about FTP access

This is one of the best ideas I have seen in a long time. I would love to be part of this. I have a DVD Burner, but my DSL connection isn't anywhere near fast enough to download these types of files.

Considering I just jumped in, I have none of the demo discs. Would someone be so kind as to PM me for my information and send some of these off?

Thanks

swithey, i sent you a PM about FTP access
Got it -- PM'ed back :)

Steve

Thanks Swithey and Yldesyde for providing the FTP access. Thanks to kweezr and others for doing the hard work of compiling these discs...Fantastic job!!!

Now waiting for disk 4 :D

Thanks swithey for disc 6 hosting. I downloaded and will try it tonight.

Now waiting for disk 4 :D
Anyone want to throw D4 my way, I'll get it uploaded to the site so everyone can enjoy it :)

Steve

Thanks swithey for disc 6 hosting. I downloaded and will try it tonight.
Glad it all worked for you. Let us know how it goes.

Steve

Everyone,

I have another Router I want to try. This one will do double the speed of the one I'm using now. You will experience a service interruption sometime today. However, your FTP client "should" auto-reconnect your download and continue where it has left off.

Sorry for the break in connection but if this works, I can pump up the speed a bit (per download) and increase the number of users that can download at a single time.

NOTE -- if you were thinking of starting your download soon, please wait until I get the upgrade done. That way, your download will not be interrupted. The actual upgrade will not take long at all.

Steve

All,

The new router is in place and bandwidth capacity has nearly doubled. I am now allowing more users on at the same time and at higher speeds :D

Steve

Steve,

Ever since you made the chance I freeze up. I haven't made it past 5 minutes in the last half an hour.

Thanks
Mike

Steve,

Ever since you made the chance I freeze up. I haven't made it past 5 minutes in the last half an hour.

Thanks

Mike,

The server only has 5 users on it right now -- which is low. Just for fun, reboot your PC and try again. You might even reboot your router (if you're downloading from home -- don't think it would be too smart to do it a the office ;) )

Let me know how it goes.

Steve

Steve,
I had problems with RAR as well, but WinZip worked fine for me, extracting the Disk 6 file. :)

Sp00n,

See the link below for a file that outlines all (8) Discs. As far as getting them, I am hosting an FTP site you can download each disc if you wish (PM me for a userID and PW). It takes at least 6 hours per disc to download (but can take longer depending on the speed of your Internet connection).

Disc Summary Link (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=6503983&&#post6503983)

However, if you look at the thread above this one where you can put your name on the list and they will send you out copies of all (8). In return you need to make copies to share with (5) folks.

Steve

hey guys,

i'm designing my own DVD cover for these demo disc. This is my first attempt. What do you guys think? If you guys like it, I can post it on someone's FTP here.

P.S. I may never watch an entire movie again...
P.P.S. The last slot was taken. Thanks everyone!

Man this thread is HT Demo tree is such a good thing. First the DVD's and now some covers. What more could we ask for. I just got six from the FTP server and unzipped it using winzip and created the ISO and burned and watched it. Works great and good job.

I have passed it on to some friends also. Glad I could donate ( D7 & D8) Can't wait to get the covers.

Just a few left to download when I get a chance. keep up the good work and keep sharing the Demo Disks.

Here is a link to a torrent I just setup for the LFE Demo and the first Demo, I think. It's named demo.iso. If this works I will host the other disks.

http://216.145.226.110:6969/

You need to download and install Bit Torrent. Let me know how it works. I have a 10mbps pipe upstream so you should get some good speeds. I'm just trying to ease the bandwith load on swithey.

DVD cover for disc #2 has been uploaded to swithey's FTP. I'll be working on the remaining covers throughout this week and sending them to swithey's FTP.

Disk 3 is now up on the torrent.

Update

It took a little while but I got disk 3,4 & 5 to complete the first part of the set. I have sent out the disks today. So this vine can finally start moving. The mail takes more time but at least people can get the disks. I am working on trying to get disks 6,7 and 8.

As kweezr pointed out, the problem isn't just creating a menu (as he did on his excellent demo #4), it's finding an authoring program that creates menues and can handle DTS without syncing issues.

Skywlkr,

Are you running with "Passive Mode" turned off? I'm not support it because each person burns (2) connections -- one for download and the other just sits idle.

PM me your outside IP address and start download of D3. I'll watch and see if I notice anything strang.

Steve

Passive is off, I am downloading the D3 bit torrent but I will try one of the other Discs.

Skywlkr,

Let me know which one and your public IP and I'll watch it.

Steve

Everyone,

I've had a few people PM about getting timeouts on the FTP site. Some after x megs downloaded and one after less than 30 seconds. I'm trying to figure out if this is a trend or just an anomaly with these folks.

If I could please get some feedback from everyone that has download since I upgraded the router (installed Mon, 11/14). If this new router is causing issues, I may need to switch back to the other one. The new one is a Linksys router I used when I tried out Vonage VOIP (that's a story in itself). Linksys used to make some really great stuff but, lately, it just has not been performing as I would have expected. The original one was a DLink and it was rock solid.

Please let me know!

Steve

I closed my connection and logged back in and was able to see it now. I'm guessing you have too many people dl now since I was not able to get the covers yet?

Looks like my ISP might be having some trouble -- speed seems delayed and slow. Other users on my network have told me it's slow. I'll get a call into them to see what's the story.

Steve

I also got disconnected a couple of times, but it seems like a minor issue since we're being able to download so fast! At first I had a hard time getting it to reconnect, but now it reconnects and resumes the download at the quick speed. Thank you swithey!

Just got off the phone with my ISP (Cogent). They have a fiber cut with no ETA as to when it will be fixed. They said to expect latency and packet loss -- which translates into dropped connections on the FTP server :(

I'll post once I know all has been restored. In the meantime, connect to the FTP server at your own risk :rolleyes:

This is the latest in our collectible series of demonstration DVDs. These discs are for professional use only, for demonstrating DTS surround sound. If you would like to order copies for your company or channel partners, please email marketinginfo@dts.com.

Looks like a nice package!

Still having time out issues

Bruce,

i have that DTS demo disk, it was distributed at CEDIA this year:)

very good scenes on this disk.

if anyone is interested, i should have all the disks except for #4 by this weekend. this will also be the first time i will be distributing the disks. i'll allow the first 10 disks for request. you'll have to pay for the disk and shipping.

I'm sorry to say but I'm taking the torrent link down. Torrents only work if people seed and so far not one person who has downloaded the files has seeded.

I hope you guys understand and don't get mad at me for doing this.

Sorry.

Doc,
Can I seed if I didn't download from you (is there some hash number that needs to be similar?)? I don't have huge upload bandwidth but don't mind contributing during off-hours (wife needs the bandwidth during the day). Let me know if still an option and I can post.

Swithey, FYI. I was able to d/l tonight without the timeouts for the first time all week so this may have improved as of tonight.

Glad you got it. Looks like my ISP may have the issues resolved. YEA!

Doc,

Sorry it did not work out. I'll keep the FTP site up as long as I can to help out :)

I just mailed discs 1-8 out to the following people:

the crane
mp796
Geordon

Thanks.

Mark

steve,

can you keep your FTP open this weekend? I'm gonna try to grab disc #1 from you this weekend.

thanks
tony

Disc #5 cover has been uploaded.

tony

what settings are you all using for the dvd covers? I just don't want to have to reprint these things a whole bunch of times to get the size "just right"

alexsquared,

change the print size to 10.5" wide by 7.15" tall in photoshop before you print and it should fit like a glove. Remember not to "resample image".

tony

Disc #5 cover has been uploaded.

tony

Nice job, Tony! Thank you.

I just got the disks in, and will be sending them out tomorrow in the mail. I'll post again when I send them out!

Please post when you get disks and when you send them out so everyone can follow the vine.

I'm getting of to a bad start on the vine. Looks like the first disk is giving me a read error. I'm not sure what else to do other than just pass it along to the next person in the line, there only appears to be one bad file on it, but maybe another persons burner/reader will be able to read the disk.

All the other disks appear to be good!

Just wanted to see what the others on the vine thought about this.

Mike

Mike,

Please PM which disk is giving you a problem. I sent an extra disk labeled THX that I had some problems with the original. I did not have problems with the copies I sent you. I can make another copy of either disk that is giving you problems.

David

Due to demand I've put the torrent links backup. I had to cap my upload band with to 50KBps though. So please seed as soon as you get them downloaded. I'm downloading the other disks right now from the FTP site. As soon as I get them I will put them up.

Link: http://216.145.226.110:6969/

edit: give them about 30min. My torrent client just crashed and it has to rehash all the files.

Everyone,

Looks like the "faster" Linksys router might be causing timeouts and disconnects when downloading (even at lower speeds). I'm planing to switch back to the Dlink (which was extremely stable before) and see how it goes.

I will not be making the switch until Monday morning sometime. During the switch, all connectivity will be broken. Feel free to reconnect once you notice the site is back up. Thanks for your patience.

Steve

Hi All, I'm a longtime thread lurker and just got my theater up and running. I would love to have the 8 demo discs in time for Thanksgiving so I can show off the system to friends and family. Willing to pay all costs and burn copies for other members. Please PM me if you can help.

I want to apologize to everyone on the list below. I was suppose to mail out the disks by the end of the week, but I haven't done so. I've been working 7 days a week and haven't had the time to burn the disks. When I finally had the time yesterday to do it, my burner crapped out. So, I had to go out and buy another one. I see that some of you are getting it from someone else. So I am not going to mail it to you. I will ship the disks out tomorrow morning. Sorry once again............

I'm getting #6 from someone, so I only need 7-8.

Everyone,

I've had a few people PM about getting timeouts on the FTP site. Some after x megs downloaded and one after less than 30 seconds. I'm trying to figure out if this is a trend or just an anomaly with these folks.

If I could please get some feedback from everyone that has download since I upgraded the router (installed Mon, 11/14). If this new router is causing issues, I may need to switch back to the other one. The new one is a Linksys router I used when I tried out Vonage VOIP (that's a story in itself). Linksys used to make some really great stuff but, lately, it just has not been performing as I would have expected. The original one was a DLink and it was rock solid.

Please let me know!

Steve
Router has been replaced and server rebooted. I had to reduce download speed a bit to compensate for the slower router.

Please let me know if this helps.

Steve

Thanks for the info Tony!

Thanks for the update Ricwilli. I appreciate all your efforts.

I think we have a winner! as this is the most Data in one sitting so far.

6min 08 seconds with out fail.... record time!!!
Skywlkr,

Do you mean 6hrs and 8 seconds to download a DVD.. and no timeouts? That's great. Looks like that old Linksys router is out and Dlink is in :D

Steve

Damn!!!

It timed out at 10 min....

Nope as in 6min 8 seconds...

no matter as it timed out again but it went for a bit less than twise as long so I think you are on the right track.

I've been on since the switchover this morning and haven't had any timeouts!

Just wanted to give everyone below an update. I sent out all of the requested disks. Unfortunately I was not able to make copies of disk # 5. For some reason I was getting read errors. I don't understand as it plays fine in my dvd player.

ricwilli,

Thanks for all the effort and work to send out the discs!!

Steve

Got the discs yesterday. Simply fantastic. I will be back in the office on Tuesday of next week, I will make copies then and send them out then.

Just FYI disc 3 didn't work. It just kept loading. Is anyone else having audio drop out problems with these discs? I had a bunch last night on all the discs, but not horrible. I am beginning to think my DVD player is crapping out.

And why does everyone praise the U-571 depth charge scene so much? The LFE in that scene is average at best. I will take the Incredibles rocket scene or The Haunting any day. Last night was the first time I saw The Haunting scene and I thought the house was coming down. I was no where near reference level and thought my life was ending.

Fantastic stuff, keep up the good work guys. I will gather a shipping list next week. Thanks again

It's not that U571 scene goes that low, but it's the succession and volumn of 40Hz
depth charges. The Haunting digs down to the the low teens, plus room shaking
into the high 20s. The "cold" scene in the Haunting at reference is breathtaking!

Kweezr,

Thanks for the clarification. I have heard so much about that scene I guess I was just expecting more.

Breathtaking is a fantastic way to describe that scene. My wife was in the kitchen which is about 20 feet away from my viewing room and was complaining she could feel her head compress. Simply amazing. I can't wait to watch the rest.

i would like to be put on the list also, i have been looking for some demo disks for some time now.Putting me on your guys list would be greatly appreciated.

the crane,

I had to laugh out loud on this one! Now that's what Home Theater is all about :)

Steve

When my wife started complaining, I blamed everything on you Steve.

My wife has already said that she's "sorta" prepared for the bass explosions when I finally get my HT finished. We're still a few months away. Chairs are expected to be here in late February -- so that's GOTTA be my drop-dead date :D

hey guys,

i just posed a separate thread on this board regarding the B&W demo DVD that's available to the public currently. Do a search for B&W demo dvd.

tony

cndavguy, just wanted to let you know that I sent out the disks to you. The only one you are not getting is disk # 5. I was having problems burning that one. You can probably get it from someone else.

At least you have prepared her, My wife still jokes about starting a support group for Wives of HT Geeks.

My new house is set to be completed the first week of March. Project "Total Audible Destruction" is set to begin the day after closing.

Get that pig finished the day those chairs arrive!!!

Everyone,

I have created single file ISOs for each of the Demo Discs. I've included a a quick "How To" doc on how to burn ISOs to DVDs (just in case you don't know how) using the freeware utility DVD Decrypter.

NOTE: D8 directory is still on the site because there is one user that is finishing up a download. Once he/she is done, that directory will be removed.

Lastly, I've received some positive responses about the router switch. Seems the timeouts have been nearly eliminated. Hopefully, it will stay this way for a while :)

Steve

I got some the earlier disks and just got 5 and 6.
I would like to get 7 and 8. I also just got access to a multi-dVD burner, so I can make sets again.

I know some people PM'd me a while ago and I could not respond (HDD crashed no backups..long story) but I am back up.

Anyone have 7 and 8?

Also, is there any way to get the covers outside of the FTP? I can't find the post on how to get on the ftp..doh!

Mike

ricwilli,

I appreciate your generosity! :)

No worries about Disc 5; I can download it from swithy's site (who also happens to be a generous guy!)

Awesome support on this site I must say.

Once I have them all, I will gladly add to the tree.

The times have extended to about 10 min a pop but it will "finish" a file after about 1 gig... then cant resume becuase no resume data is saved becuase it's "completed"

Maybe I'm going to fast for the router so it's cutting me off?

I'm curious..

What is on 7 and 8?

On a side note, I get a kick using my demo dvd at bb or cc and watching the sales rep wonder where I got this dvd.

Victor

Swithey,
Any word on when you'll have disk 4? Thanks again for all your efforts hosting!

Adam,

Received D4 from David Wien a few daya ago. Unfortunately, one of the files was corrupted. ricwilli has one in the mail to me. Once I get it, I'll put it up on the FTP site. If anyone had D4 and wants to upload VTS_01_2.VOB (just over 1GIG in size) -- that's the only file I'm missing.

PM me and I'll give you an account that allows uploads.

BTW -- David Wien, please PM me when you get a chance. I have something I want to ask you.

Steve

On a side note, I get a kick using my demo dvd at bb or cc and watching the sales rep wonder where I got this dvd.

I've done samething at highend places, after I'm done putting their equipment
through the wringer they ask "where can we get a copy?" After I tell them I made
it, they ask "How much to make us one?" My line is "it's not for sale, but........" ;)

BTW kweezr,

Disc 4 is great. Its just too bad the dts sync issue (on #6) wouldn't give you a menu system like the one you developed for #4

Victor

From what I've found out so far, Adobe Encore could do the menus but I'm not
shelling out that kinda money on these silly demos :p

Why don't you ,ummm, "borrow it" from bit torrent?

Victor

Also, anyone out there willing to trade 7 and 8 for a pair of discs from 1-6?

Victor

OK, I will be sending out the disks to the following people by the end of the week.

2. jacampbell - disks 1-8

Count me in. How do I get on the tree? I keep buying Demo discs (always disappointed too) and this sounds great. I would love all of them if at all possible. PM me for for e-mail and let me know who I should be sending them off to next. THANKS GUYS! AWESOME IDEA.

Hi Guys,

Just read through most of this. Wow, you guys really are awesome ... this is a VERY nice service to everyone here. We all get some great demo material and all can share in our addiction.

I would love to get a copy of, well, all of the discs. I have a burner and a spindle of discs ready to pay-it-forward.

Please let me know who to PM to get some copies.

Thanks guys!

Anyone name a good scene from SWEIII for me to use in a Demo Disc.

Anyone name a good scene from SWEIII for me to use in a Demo Disc.
The opening scene with Anakin and Obiwan flying in their ships during the attack on the Trade Federation. Lots of flying visuals.
The crash landing of the cruiser is amazing also.

Visuals are good there, that's for sure. Not enough BOOM, but that has been reported already. I'd have to watch it again and pay attention, looking for potential demo scenes.

I am very sorry about that. I do not know how that happened. Let me know if you still need them. I will send them out to you on Monday. Or better yet:

jacampbell, have you received the disk I sent you. Since you are in Canada, you can make copies for Toolman.

Toolman if you don't want to wait just let me know and I will send them to you on Monday. I am very sorry. It was an honest mistake. I don't know how I missed your name.

Just wondering if Disc 4 will be available soon? Also are more covers being made for the other disc's or are you guys done making covers and disc labels?

Thanks,
