I had downloaded a disc #19 from Swithey some time ago with this content...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/bugman72/Cover_19.jpg

That was the demo disc that I was wondering about. I'll just go ahead and replace it with the new #19, since the content is more consistent with the previous ones.

I'll check back later to see if Swithey had the chance to upload the new disc label. Also, I am in the process of redoing the covers from slimline to standard (all of the others that I have are in standard cases). Would it be beneficial to send those to Swithey for upload so folks have a choice?

Swithey forgot to load the LOTR label on his ftp. I pm'ed him about it.

The labels/covers above are only for those that want a special cover for these two discs. The original covers - the tech theme ones - are still there to keep the consistency between covers.

I'm just giving you guys a choice.
The missing LOTR label is now on the site. Sorry about that :o

I checked and the "normal" D19 (cover and label) is correct for the LOTR content. The original D19 (movie trailers) is gone and was replaced with a new improved version now called T1-MovieTrailers.

I am in the process of redoing the covers from slimline to standard (all of the others that I have are in standard cases). Would it be beneficial to send those to Swithey for upload so folks have a choice?
Mr. Bugman,

Let me know when you get them done and we can coordinate the upload. Just PM me when you are ready.

Thanks to all that have made this possible and had a hand in this awesome opportunity. Especially Swithey for hosting!

I've only downloaded a couple of these but this is going to work great to show off my new system when all my friends come over on SuperBowl Sunday.

On a side note; if anyone has any of the "official" dts demo discs that aren't on the ftp site, could you please pm me as I would like to get a copy of them and would be willing to pay via paypal for materials, etc. to have you mail them to me. And I would be willing to pay it forward to the next person interested after I get a copy. Thanks

I didn't think that any of the "official" DTS demo dvds were on the FTP. Am I incorrect? If so, please let me know where they are and I will be sure to drop them down.

The FTP site will never have any of the "official" DTS disc on it since they are copyrighted. I believe Bob's torrent used to have some of them available for download.

A little help here? I just downloaded and burned Disc 6 to DVD. However I have no audio when I play it. I have a THX certified pioneer 7.1 channel receiver.

Any ideas?

D6 is 100% DTS audio. Make sure eith your recevier or DVD player can play DTS audio.

I'm pretty sure about the receiver. I'm using an Xbox360 as a DVD player and thought it could too.

Maybe after a good night's sleep I'll figure it out :(

From what I've read the Xbox 360 will just pass DTS through to your receiver via optical. It can't do it via the L,R audio cables (which I'm sure you know). Perhaps you just need to select the next audio track on your receiver?

I forgot that my toslink cable was an inch short for my current setup and I used the RCA cables for audio :(

Ordered a longer one from monoprice and my problem should be solved.

i am so mad, ive spent 3.5 days downloaidng two demos and when they are finished ,,d vd dycryptor wont read them ,anbd then they leave application data/stoarge and I cant find the file period

So sorry you are having trouble. There is one thing that comes to mind that might be the cause of your trouble. If you are writing the ISO images to a FAT32 partition on your Hard Drive, there is a limit of 4GB for a single file. A number of these files are over 4GB. Since the file system cannot handle this larger file size, the ISO image becomes corrupted.

The fix is to write to a NTFS partition which can handle files as large a has as 16 terrabytes. Hope this info helps :)

EDIT: And if you cannot find the files, do a seach on your entire Hard Drive for *.ISO

I'm not sure what is causing your problem but I had to use a different program. I'm using Sateiria CD/DVD successfully at the moment. DVD Decryptor would give me an error everytime when it failed to load the iso image.

Thanks again to swithey for hosting and not kicking me off despite it taking my connection days (I hate my ISP rebooting my connection!) to finish.

Hello everyone. Amazing work of what you've put together.

Can someone please assist me either by giving me the ftp info and/or torrent info?

or If someone can send me copies and I send them on to the next....

Thanks in advance.

Nikos

the tracker is:

http://bob4432.sytes.net:6583/

it was down the last day or two due to an error i made in the router - i accidentally turned of the port, sorry about that.

so it is back up now

Would anyone be willing to send me copies of these disks? I have a crappy computer and no DVD burner. I am willing to pay for them..Thanks in advance

Hello all. I know I am new to this but hopefully someone can help me. I downloaded and am using ws_ftp from the link provided. I successfully connected to switheys server. Here's the thing. I don't know if I was supposed to drag the files I wanted onto the leftside (my computer,) but I didnt. I just double clicked on the files I wanted. Hours later when they were done, I found them in the "storage" folder. A couple I dragged over to my documents. I still have these.

Now today when I went back to the "storage" folder to find the other ones, they have vanished. I even used search with the file names and they are nowhere to be found. Did they automatically delete since I left them in that folder? Do I HAVE to drag to somewhere on my local computer? Is that the problem?

If so, is there anyway I could go back and get the 3 I didn't touch without having to re-download, or do I have to?

Thanks for the help!

Shane

WS_FTP has two windows (one for local and one for remote) and between them are a pair of buttons with arrows. One points from left (local) to right (remote) and is for uploading files that are selected in the left window to the folder being viewed in the right window (remote FTP site). The other points from right (remote FTP site) to left (local). To download a file or files from the remote site, you select the file (or hold down CTRL and select several files) and press the button that points to the left and the file(s) will be downloaded to the local folder being viewed in the left window.

If the files have been purged from your temporary folder, you'll have to re-download them.

Greetings one and all !

Would have to say, may have put this elsewhere. .. nevermind.

Yes I would lilke to be able to get in on the list. I am not able to d/load
all these demo discs which I would dearly love to own.

So my question is, is there anyone willing to copy them for me, I will of course
reinburse them and or give copies of the discs I have at the moment.


I am able to copy and forward them to someone on the list.
Any takers ? :cool:

Now . . ;. which way to the riser plans section ?.

regards

Ebe

New here, and wish to get some of the demos :)

I'd like to get some of these demo dics. Would someone tell me what I have to do please.

Thanks,

I'm in a similar situation - however I do have broadband, but New Zealand data caps make it hard.

Are there any Kiwis or Australians that have a few of these and would burn them if sent a package of blanks and a return paid envelope?

Server has been restored. It decided to have a minor hick-up. I quick reboot fixed the issue. Feel free to resume your downloading :D

My ftp server here in Australia is back up again too.... although I'm catching up on the last couple of new iso's :)

Me too. My computer sucks, (still running Windows ME, if you can believe it). Is there any way someone can burn me some copies and mail them to me? I'd be happy to pay. I live in California.

Thanks,
Darien

i have 1-7 downloaded and burned. If there is anyone out there that is unable to download and burn these and wants some of these I could mail some out.

I have Disk 2,6 and 10. I havent checked 10 on the HT (painting sceen), but Im willing to send them on to the nexted guy who wants them. :)

I can do disk 10.

I dont have a printer so theres nothing fancy. :) Also all I have -R dvd's. If that works for you send me your addy and Ill get it out to you.


Oh yeah anyone eles out there want to trade acouple dvd's that I dont have?

I have neither the ability to download anything of this size nor transfer it to DVD. If anyone out there would be willing to do the legwork for me I would be more than happy to compensate them for their time. Have some friends coming in a few weeks and would love to show off the theater. PM me with which ones you have and how much your time is worth to you. I would be more than happy to send posters, etc as payment as well. Covers would be nice but are not necessary. Thanks in advance.

Chris

Posters?

PM sent as well....Thank You!!

Hi Guys,


Im Completely new to this thread..Would Love to Have all The demo discs either by Mail or I can download them and help seed..Plz PM me on further details..I can Copy the discs and mail too..I am trying through torrent by no seeds..Plz update me.. :)

I have downloaded a couple of the demo files. I have some DVD-R disks.

How do I get the .ist files to the disk. I have Nero, but have not found anything on how to burn to a disk.

I realize this is pretty elementary stuff, but I ahve never burned a DVD before.

thanks

BTW, it's .iso not .ist.

They are image files. Turn on advanced mode (people icon on the bottom). Go to Backup and scroll. Use the 'burn image to disc'.

You can also use DVD Decrypter to burn .iso's. Just download it, go to Mode-->ISO--->Write. Then click the folder icon and navigate to your .iso.

Away you go! And free to boot!

Thanks guys, I have copied Demo 2 and 3 and am impressed not only with the demo but the workt hat went into putting them together.

Can I get all the disks sent to me please? who do i need to send PM to? I can make copies and send them to the next folks needing it. Thanks.

Thanks to Swithey, I've got Discs 1 through 20 downloaded and burned. I'm very impressed by the work you guys have done. I still have the 5 Trailers discs to download, but I'm running tight on HDD space. Anyways, drop me a PM and let me know what you guys need. I can hold onto the images for a little while longer.

What's SOP here for sending these out? 20 discs is about $6 worth of blanks. USPS Priority is $4.55 with tracking. So is asking $10 for postage and materials for all 20 DVD's ok with you guys? I just want to make sure I'm following the rules.

Ok with me. How do we pay you then? By paypal, i think there's a small fee included but it's the fastest way.

I'm cool with paypal, just as long as it's from money in the account and not a credit card. Credit card transactions have higher fees on the seller end. masak_aer...I'll PM you my details.

Cool. No problem with me.

masak_aer,

Could you count me in as well....I have a PayPal account but with a credit card....I can just add some to the final price if that is OK with you?

PM me the details and I can give you my mailing info....Thanks!

Looks like I need a few more posts before I can post URL's or email addy's. Please make sure to put your email in your PM. I'm processing the requests in the order I received the PMs. It's going to take some time to burn that many DVD's so I ask for your patience. I also noticed that there is a disc 21 on the ftp server, I guess I missed that one last week. If I can clean out a little more drive space I'll download that and add it to the pile.

Thanks,
Herb

I now have eight people on my list. I thought I had nine, but I see that I looked at the spreadsheet wrong. Anyways, here is the list in the order I received them:

1 LARMAN1
2 mask_aer
3 titch--
4 jacket_fan
5 jayfrost
6 staffy
7 Piggy Stardust
8 darien87

Looks like I'm going to be busy burning for a while. I think that's about all the requests I can take. Once I get these out, I'm sure someone will be able to pass more on. I'm just hoping I can get more blank DVD's on sale, we'll see this weekend. My local OfficeMax is out of stock on the ones listed in their flyer.

Thanks,
Herb

Wow, 8 people in line? No good deed goes unpunished huh? Sorry to load you up. But thanks for the help.

I think I'll be finish downloading all the movies on Monday. If anyone wants an DVDs, please PM me. I only have about 50 blank dvds. I will only take cost of dvds(0.25 each) and shipping or you can pick up in SJ, CA. Thanks again Steve for hosting.

I have an E1405 and it seems that it takes about one and a half hour to burn a dvd at 8x. I'm not sure if that's right or not.

i don't know what a E1405 is but that sounds like way to long to burn. i can burn a dl @ 2.4x w/7.5GB on it in ~35-45min...sounds like it is burning a 1x. a lot of software will say it is burning at whate x but the speed changes as it goes from inside to outside, so if it always giving a constant number, that is not the true number.

i haven't pad attention to how long it takes to burn a 4.5GB single layer dvd, but it should be 8-15min i believe if it is at 8x....let me know if you want me to verify the time as i can make a copy of something i have here....

I think it's because I'm also download at a fast speed. I will try again when I stop the download. Thank for your help.

You really should not be doing something like a download, and also be burning a DVD at the same time.

Yeah, you want to keep the quality as high as possible. Do not use the computer at all while it's burning...no matter how fast the computer is. A slight glitch in the data bus can cause errors in the burn. I even turn off any IM and screen savers and set power management to not turn off anything. Sounds like thats a Dell Inspiron E1405 Laptop he's using.

hello....new to avs, but i have been reading this thread and would like to get all of the demo discs. seem to be having problems with torrent client (new to that also), but would be willing to copy and pass on. pls pm for details on d/L or other options...thanks

I've been lurking on this forum for awhile, I would like to get the demo disks, and can than copy them on high quality media, in return for other people also. Please pm me for any details as to paypal info or payment method for dvd media and shipping. Thanks in advance.

Hello from the Great White North. Anyone interested in sending a complete set to Canada? I would be happy to re-distribute to fellow Canadians (and avoid any customs issues). Please PM me. Thanks.

Well, I got the discs from lechonlubber yesterday. I love 'em.

I think I will be getting a DVD burner soon to help lechonlubber
I'll keep you all posted


Thanks again Herb!!

I forgot about the Demo disk... :D Anyway, Lechon, i just sent you the address via paypal. Thanks. ;)

Thanks for the update Larman1. I'm glad they got to you in good shape. masak_aer, I should have those out to you today (3/8/07).

To the rest of the people on the list, it's taking me a little longer than planned to get these out...you'll hear from me when they are ready.

I don't know a whole lot about burners but is this one any good? I need/want an
external one to use with laptop as well

LG drives are usually pretty good. That one has good specs and reviews. Just make sure you've got USB2 and stick to good quality media.

If I only knew someone sending back a balikbayan box! Do you know anyone going back to the PI from the US. Maybe someone here can mail it to them. Mailing it directly to the PI would be the last thing, I've seen pictures get lost...let alone a box of DVD's!

gnusrus Ill hook you up once I get em. :)

It might take abit for it though.

Could anybody PM me the details on how to download from FTP, I'm currently downloading through torrents... really slow.
If that is not possible could anybody maybe point me to a guide on how to make your own custom demo DVD?

Well let me rephrase that: which software packages do the demodisc creators use to create their discs?
I use DVD Decrypter to create an ISO or VOB files and DVD Rebuilder icw CCE to shrink to DVD5.
Which software is capable of copying your own favourite scenes to your own project incl Dolby and DTS?
Is there some guide as of how to create your own selection of scenes?

greets

DVDShrink to pull specific clips, and DVDLab Pro to produce the DVD.

DVDShrink to pull specific clips, and DVDLab Pro to produce the DVD.
And to make sure the audio stays in sync, after you rip it off with DVDShrink, use a app called rejig to separate the video from the audio. DVDLab will take it in this format without any trouble.

I'd like to get in on this. I'd be glad to burn a few sets for those who aren't able to download.

Thanks

Hello from the Great White North. Anyone interested in sending a complete set to Canada? I would be happy to re-distribute to fellow Canadians (and avoid any customs issues). Please PM me. Thanks.

You may want to PM cnlc, as a member who is also in Canada. I shipped a complete set of demos to cnlc from Florida and the shipping rate plus customs forms was expensive. cnlc advised that he could handle the Canada members, but may have already saturated capacity. Give it a try.

Do you remember what it ended up costing you? titch-- is up in Canada and from what I can tell, it's going to cost more to ship than the cost of materials! Also, I take it you had to fill out customs forms?

Herb,
I got the dvds today.. Thank you very much.

I've been reading on this forum for awhile, didn't know about this thread until a guy from the RX8club brought it up. I would like to get the demo disks, and can redistribute. Please pm me for any details
Thanks

Is there anyone here that may be able to burn me the demo discs? PM me and I will give you my address and whatever $ you may need to cover shipping, materials, and your time.

I've mentioned it before, and I think it bears repeating (and it is only my opinion)...

There are now close to 30 demo discs in this group. Asking someone to burn a complete set is asking a lot. And there are a lot of repeated scenes among the discs. I think you'd have much better luck asking for 1 or 2 of the discs. Once you've played those out ask for a couple more.

Read the summaries of each disc on Swithey's FTP site to get some idea of what's on each demo.

There's 30 now?!! Where's my set :-)

I want to give a big thanks to herb, lechonlubber, for the set of disks he copied. You did a great job and I really appreciate your time and effort. I picked up some DVD cases today and will enjoy giveing some demos when guests come over.

Victor, you have some great demos in the collection. :)

I'm glad you guys are getting them. I always worry that they may get damaged in transit. Funny thing is that I haven't even had the chance to sit down and really watch the demos. I've just been flipping through them. That or I end up watching a scene from a movie I haven't seen in a while and end up digging out the original DVD to watch it!

To those waiting on my list, don't worry...I'm getting to them. March Madness and the Wii have been distractions lately!

...and to the original creators of the Demos...you guys rock!

Anyone else have difficulty downloading the new LFE2 disc. #21 ? I'm using the FTP server , thanks swithey , but can only get about half way (2,267,740k) before it quits on me . I've tried several times without success. Any advice would be appreciated . Thanks for all the great work being done on this site .

This thread has gotten big. :eek:

Anyone willing to send a set to Calif? I will be happy to pay postage and disk cost. I have a DVD burner so if there is an FTP site, please advise.

Thanks,
Rob

just a quick fyi about the tracker -

It is time for this server to be updated and this particular script will probably not be moved over to the new setup. At the very least, if there is a tracker on the server after the maintenance upgrade (full re-install of os and software - updating apache to 2.2, mysql to 5.x and also running apache with mod-ssl running, running ftp-ssl) moving over the data has basically no chance of making the move due to time contraints.

I have set the script so that there will be no more new users, so those that are currently downloading, please do not start more. I do not know the exact date of the change, but it will not be too far off.

It has been a good run, but some of the stuff that needs to be done have been put off for some time, and it just needs to be done. I apologize for any inconvience this may cause, but I see that between switheys ftp and others burning discs and helping fellow members out, I think it will work out very well.

i have a couple different servers doing what the hardware that it is running on do, but the install is over a couple of years old :eek: so it is time for some updating

it has been a pleasure to help others enjoy these great demo dvds :)

Bob,

Thanks for hosting the Torret. I know a lot of AVSers utilized your service :) Hopefully my FTP will continue to chug along with its existing OS load. Let me know if you need anything from my end.

Thank You Swithey!

thanks for the offer :) after i decide if i am going to just do a os/app re-install/upgrae or a full new build using lower power items i will definately let you know. in the mean time i am going to look for a different torrent script too :)

Do you remember what it ended up costing you? titch-- is up in Canada and from what I can tell, it's going to cost more to ship than the cost of materials! Also, I take it you had to fill out customs forms?


I made two shipments. First shipment was $4.65 and second shipment was $17.65, but please note that I shipped each demo disc in a DVD clamshell case with cover art inserted. The clamshell cases and blank media were certainly less than the cost of shipping and yes I had to stand in line, both times, at the post office to fill out a customs form.

My obvious conclusion was it is expensive to ship out of country and also time consuming. I intended to compile a list of AVS members interested in these demos that would contain the country, but alas other tasks have pushed this aside for now. I don't even get a chance to read the new posts on AVS each week. Someday I will catch up and work on this project again.

This is awesome and I have no idea how I didn't see the demo tree threads sooner :eek:

Could someone Pm me the info to download or how I get copies. I can burn and send for others.


Thanks Todd

Hello All,

I’m new to this FTP download technology. I have spent the last three evening trying to figure out how to connect or were to find a link to the server to download these demo DVD’s. I have down loaded WS_FTP program, but not sure were to go from there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would be more than willing to burn disks for others or what ever it takes. I hope I’m not being a pest to this forum. Thank You

post #1850 pretty much states what you need to know

just an fyi on the tracker - looks like probably the weekend at the end of the month is going to be when the tracker goes down. i may put a new one up, have not decided, but that is the projected time.

i am having some medical procedures done around that time so hopefully they will not hinder me from the upgrade.

A Summary of All DVDs available can be downloaded here or directly off the FTP Site
http://blaze.gotdns.com/demos/HT%20...c%20Summary.doc

NOTE: To download the DVD ISO files, you must use a "true" FTP client (a browser will not work).

WS-FTP has a FREE trial that works very well. It can be downloaded here:

You 'connect' to the ftp host, the address that swithey (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/member.php?u=19451) gave you, put in the username and password and connect. You will see the files listed in one window and your computer's drive in the other. Select where on your hard drive you want to save the iso files to and just drag the iso from the remote ftp location onto yours - do only 1 at a time. Go away, wash your car, cook supper, watch a movie or two. Your download will take approx. 4 hours.

Then get DVD Decrypter (http://www.mrbass.org/dvdrip/) or use Nero and burn the iso file to a blank dvd.

I just got my set from mike1111 today. I just want to say a big thank you to him, for taking the time to do that for me. I offered the guy some money and he said, "no thanks". Classy guy.

Also, thanks to the guys that set this whole thing up. I especially love the covers. They came out great on my color laser printer!

Thanks again guys!

Darien87

Since you are the latest to get copies of the discs, are you able to make copies for me? In return I will do the same for the next person.

Thanks for your help,

Pete

Sorry Pete,

The whole reason why I got a set from someone else, is that I'm a computard when it comes to burning DVD's. I still haven't done it yet. But when I get around to learning how to do it. I'll see about hooking you up. Plus, I didn't want all of them. I think asking someone to burn you 20 DVD's is kinda crazy.

I have: 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 17, 18, 21

I didn't realize it was up to 20. Oh well, if you get a chance sometime to burn what you have, that would be great. Thanks!

Hey i am in florida and am interested in the demos. Pm me with info.

lechonlubber they came today. :) thanks alot


gnusrus, you still around?

wow, ive been around for months but totally missed this thread. Anyways I would be more that happy to paypal someone a couple bucks for a copy of any good test dvds you have. Dont need all of them, just a few good ones!
Ill be building my first sub soon so i need some ammo to beat it with.
I would try the ftp thing but i dont have a dvd burner anyway...
Thanks!!!

did you have any luck bonehead?

lechonlubber they came today. :) thanks alot


That's great to hear. Thanks for the update.

I've been eyeing this thread for a VERY long time, but haven't participated due to questions of legallity. Mostly the fact that, if I download discs from those could have graciously hosted the files, I would like to contribute by means of hosting the files myself or participating in a torrent.

This is complicated by the fact that, I'd prefer not host it on any of my machines in my home. Bandwidth is rather valuable to me, and the torrents appear to have been short lived here. I have a hosting service, with generous amounts of storage (over 200GB available and more than 2TB of data transfers per day). However, that have explicit rules against hosting copy protected data. And I remain skeptic that this content doesn't qualify as copy protected.

Is there enough interest here to re-kindle the snail-mail demo tree?

:eek::eek::eek:

Is that supposed to be 2 TB per month?

IANAL, but the video clips can be considered fair use. That doesn't mean your hosting company wouldn't object, however.

I just want to download it :( :(

I'd be willing to give someone my FTP information to upload it so that I can post a link for others to download from!

Oops... yeah, per month; 2.7TB per month to be exact. :o Not sure how I mistyped that one!

My host is dreamhost.com, and they only state that "blatant copyright infringement" is restricted. Sounds fair enough. If I can get copies of the discs, I'll give hosting the files a shot. The worst that could happen is, they'll remove the files in question.

I'm currently working on getting them uploaded! I will post again with links ASAP.

Swithey, kweezr, bclews and everyone else out there-

I'm working on another one...

It'll have girls, jets, guns, you know, the usual stuff

SWEET!

I'm actually working on a LFE disc myself. I have v2 of the prototype done but it needs some more tweaking and a little more content. One really cool feature it will have is a LFE "overload" scene. It will play the most intense parts of scenes back to back -- guaranteed to overheat your sub :D. I'm watching THIS (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=755493) thread for ideas on content for my disc as well. Being on Blockbuster Online has made it a lot easier to demo all the material before I buy the actual DVD for my collection.

I'm still working on downloading the rest of the discs (Thanks Swithey!), but I have started a website. I'm trying to compile all the information I can find into one convenient site. I'm currently working on installing a gallery for the artwork. I haven't decided how I'm going to allow access to the disc images themselves, but it'll be either though controlled access to the website and/or FTP.

If anybody would like to take a look at the site, I'd be grateful for any input, additional information, or flat out constructive critism. I'm not 100% happy with the appearance, but it works (i.e. the logo is something I threw together in less than 5 mins). I almost backtracked already, and switched to a wiki, but I'm not sure that's best suited for this.

i think it looks really good. if that is a "real" dts disc in the main pic you may want to remove it as it is could cause some issues.

also, the little arrows on the lists look cool but they trick me into thinking they should be a link

other than that, excellent start :)

mmmmm point taken!!!

For those who are interested, I have a couple more DVDs available.

I'm definitly interrested.

But I'm a bit confused haha.

I can burn it for the next person once I get onem if that's how this works.

I am interested also. But I do not have a DVD burner. But I would be happy to compensate someone for the supplies and mailing expense if I could obtain some discs.

Please let me know, and THANKS SO MUCH to all for making this happen!

Please include me! I would love this. Thanks

Did it already- search "I can't drive 55"

Update...

To be honest, I've been researching "fair use", and I certainly have some doubts; particularly after finally viewing the first disc last night. Personally, I don't see any kind of encroachment into the studios market or profitability, but there is considerable length to most of these scenes. Most material is stuff I already own, intend to purchase anyway, or don't intend to purchase ever. These discs aren't likely to change anything, except possibly spur the purchase of more DVDs.

At any rate, while I am extremely happy with the appearance of the website as it is, I fear that it may draw too much attention. I'd still like to contribute to the "HT Demo Tree", but I'm not sure I'll be leaving the web site up. We'll see. I've had it in "maintenance mode", but it's back up now, but the content is restricted to registered users. I believe that's actually appropriate, as I view this as a "private", albeit group, project. For AVS members, log in as "avsuser" with password "demoinfo". (http://htdemos.tjapkes.com)
I just want it to be pretty apparent that we're not openly distributing these to the general public.

Also, I've discovered limitations with hosting files of this size via the web, and now understand why FTP has been the protocol of choice! Rather than break up the files into smaller files, which just displaces one learning curve for another, I've taken the same avenue (FTP). PM me for info.

Looks awesome Victor!!

thanks.Same question. Is it hosted on a different server or a Torrent?

Full size cover and label has been uploaded to swithey's ftp. He should have them up for public consumption soon.

Can anyone help out a young chap without a DVD burner in the form of a B & P? if so, please send me a PM!

Thanks!

Steve

yeah, me too. Can I pay someone to burn me a copy and mail it? PM please.

Thanks!

As soon as Swithey has it, I'll download it from him and I would be willing to mail out two copies for people to pass around and copy? Thoughts?

Why not a full face label?

All copies sent

All copies sent
Awesome!

I'm in the office 1/2 day on Monday and out the rest of the week. If I get it on Monday, I'll do my best to get it posted to the site the same day. If it comes later, it will be the next Monday before it is available for download.

If anyone needs it, I will post it on my FTP site as soon as I can download it as well. Hopefully, it will be the same day I get it.

If anyone can mail me out a copy of this latest one I will gladly copy it and pass it on to someone else. Unfortunately I only have dialup. PM me if you can do it.

I would be interested in a copy as well. PM me with info (on broadband, so a D/L option would work for me).

Just wondering what scene(s) from T2 are you guys using on your demo dvds, aside from the T2 THX intro?

Can someone please PM me and let me know how I can download these demo discs? thanks in advance.

Nice job Victor!

No hiccups, played straight through. Only thing I noticed was the Air Force One clip, if you play all T3 comes before AF1, if you select AF1 from the menu it goes to AF1.

Yeah I saw that glitch too, but figured, eh, what the hell, nothing's perfect....

Thanks for the review

Victor

can someone also pm me as to how to download (where do we get the username and password) for the ftp site. I will gladly pay it forward...

I have an extra copy of DVD 1 if anyone is interested.

PM me. First come first served.

Awesome!

I'm in the office 1/2 day on Monday and out the rest of the week. If I get it on Monday, I'll do my best to get it posted to the site the same day. If it comes later, it will be the next Monday before it is available for download.

Please PM me when you've got it up and I'll add it on to the Australian mirror. :)

Why not a full face label?

Now that'd be a nice idea, as nearly all DVD's are not full face ones these days. :)

Why not a full face label?

You mean to cover more of the inner circle? Because not everyone buys those kinds of labels.

You mean to cover more of the inner circle? Because not everyone buys those kinds of labels.

But if you've got cd label printing software, like CD LabelPrint (comes with Canon printers), you can tell it to only print to certain printable disks, so if you use the standard printable disk, and have a full face label, you tell the software that you have standard disks, and it'll only print to that area set.

:)

Demo #22 is now available on the FTP site

Victor: I may have a new favorite DVD. Lots of explosions, LFE and surround on this one. I can't wait to demo it on my system at home. Great Job!

Pinstripe: Thanks for making the cover again. Looks beautiful.

As always -- if you need access to the site, please PM for for login info.

i would love to snag a few of these some how! i can burn a few or host a torrent if needed. how do i go about getting a login or where can i find a recent torrent?

oh and why doesn't someone upload to usenet and then no one person has to foot the bandwidth?

The FTP site will be slow today. I have some heavy downloading to do on the pipe. You might experience slower than normal download speeds and/or timeouts.

I should be done by the end of the day.

Victor, Steve, Pinstripe,

Many thanks for the work that went into Demo#22 - its awesome!

Victor, Steve, Pinstripe,

Many thanks for the work that went into Demo#22 - its awesome!

Agreed, beautiful! If there is anyone else here that doesn't have the bandwidth or ability to burn DVDs and would like a copy of Demo #22, hit me up with a PM and I'll snail mail one out to you.

I am in the process of getting it up online currently for download.

I will download from Swithey and post it on my FTP as well. Will let you know when I have it.

Demo #22 is now available on the FTP site

Victor: I may have a new favorite DVD. Lots of explosions, LFE and surround on this one. I can't wait to demo it on my system at home. Great Job!

Well I finally got some "alone time" in the house and was able to turn things up a bit. I believe the chapter from Monster House took the cake for some of the best LFE on the disc. It's just intense as the house walks down the street. Also, the scene from Flags of Our Fathers in the very beginning with the shots going off in the background was very well done. The surround was really authentic and the bass was dead on.

How can I get this? I can burn I just need to know how to d/l it.

PM swithey for access to his ftp.

Anyone interested in another demo? I'll send out two discs and they can pass on to others.
Once again, 1st come 1st served. Basicly a sub work out disc, but there's some good surround
usage too. I've made menus and added background music to them. Reply here, no PM's or
email.

Here's what you get,
Blue crush-chargin' the pipe
Open Range-gunfight
Nemo-sub
Fight Club-explosion
Freddy vs Jason
Flight of the Phoenix-crash

Matrix-hall shootout
Rundown-bar fight
Team America-bombing
Sky Captain-underwater attack
The Incredibles-rocket launch
The Core-Golden Gate Bridge
We Were Soldiers-broken arrow
U571-they all missed
Atlantis-Leviathon
Equilibrium-not without incident
Die Hard-shoot the glass

And a few DD/THX intros


Always looking to improve, so once you get a copy a quick critique would be aprreciated.

how many disks do you have, i'd be interested in a few different ones,

Hello, i'm new to all of this and I would certainly like to get in on these demo discs. Will someone please email me and give me the info. I have been looking for a demo disc for awhile as I have seen them in some of the local circuit city, best buy, and our own costum installatin store, desco audio here in olympia.

Thanx, Bill

Bill, as it says in a number of posts in this thread, send a private message (also known as a PM) to swithey to get access to the ftp site where the discs are stored.

Can someone please send me a demo disk please!!

I would LOVE to get my hands on this. I am really lacking in my demo department. A PM on how to DL or obtain a physical copy would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Couldn't help it... I never understand why folks don't read the previous posts either. And in a few days, it will happen again that someone will ask.

Lazyness at its best.

Help I am trying to acces a site that Swithey gave me using SmartFTP and I get this message

Unable to resolve host name.

Suggestions?

go to windows command (cmd), and type ping, then space, then the name of the host that Swithey gave you, and hit enter. Among other things, you should be able to see the server's IP address. In SmartFTP, enter that IP address instead of the host name.

I am such an idiot.

Are you running Windows? If so...

Start --> Run...

type 'cmd' and click 'OK'.

It says could not find host.

I'll try a few more times but could someone PM me about how much it may cost for demo discs. I want the DTS, THX and maybe a couple of others.

Error 421.

In other words, too many users are currently connected to his ftp and it is refusing more connections. Try again later.

Nothing to forgive! Bravo! :D

Indeed, nothing to forgive. I feel the least someone can do is take some time and figure out how to DL and use them.

An abbreviation comes to mind: RTFT (Read The F**** Thread!!) :D

I feel the least someone can do is take some time and figure out how to DL and use them.
Maybe Kweezr would be kind enough to update the 1st post with info about how to acquire the DVDs -- be it snail mail, FTP or Torrent? Keith -- how say you :D

I still have the discs on my FTP site as well (to clarify, they are NOT on the website, which contains info, as well as disc and cover art). Things have been crazy insane busy at work and home, so there was a 2 week period, at least, where I hadn't been on the site at all. I've barely touched the discs myself (only viewed the 1st and half the 2nd). A coworker was able to download all 21 discs from me within the last week, so everything still works (no interferance from the host). I'm not sure how much success others have had with downloading from me though.

Should this take a long time? I've never downloaded anything like this.

I just double clicked on the disc I wanted and it started doing something. Do I need to designate a specific folder for it?

Oh yeah it didn't work. Here is what happened

Expect 6-8 hours to download a single ISO file.

To download, just drag the ISO file onto your desktop (or into a folder of your choice) and go to bed. It should be done by the next morning.

Steve

1 hr later on disc 7 I had 2% and it states Client closed the connection again. 3rd times the charm and if not I quit.

I received the first iso file. Can an ISO be played in an xbox 360? I have tried to do this before and it didn't work, anyone know about this issue?

Looks like you have a slower connection. At your speed, it will probably take about 24hours to download a single DVD (they are rather large files). Sorry -- but just wanted you to be prepared.

Also, some people get kicked off for unknown reasons (your ISP, my ISP and/or anything in the middle) -- so it will probably happen again, unfortunately :( There are programs out there that will reconnect you automatically if you ever get disconnected. One that works quite well is Free Download Manager (http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/). The kicker is you have to know the exact URL address to the file you want to download. It's not hard to get this link once you figure out the file structure of the 1st one.

Not that I know of. You will need to burn it to an actual DVD. You "may" be able to explode the ISO file to your HD (so it will looks like a DVD) and point your XB360 to that directory. You can explode the ISO files with WinRAR (http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm)

i just remember tyrying to burn an iso image to a dvd, but not converting the files to vob and it didn't play in the 360.

give isobuster a try, works great.

It says could not find host.

4th time and it dropped the connection 12% percent in I quit. Maybe I can work something else out either here or at another forum.

Thanks for the help though.

Should this take a long time? I've never downloaded anything like this.

I download at a constant 90KB/s. Cant really complain, its free lol. Takes about 12 hours or so, leave it overnight and should be done by noon. I use FileZilla BTW.

How do I burn these am using Ipswitch?

4th time and it dropped the connection 12% percent in I quit.
Use FileZilla. It'll automatically resume when connection is dropped or download gets stuck.

I was getting about 90 KB/s during the day as well, but at night I was downloading two images at once getting a total of about 300 KB/s. Not lightning fast, but not bad either. I got 4 demo discs downloaded in less than 24 hours. Burned them to DVD using Nero 6.

Now all I need is for my sub to get here so that I can make use of these. :p

Big thanks to all the folks who put these demo discs together and made them available. Internet is a wonderful thing!

Filezilla worked for me (I think) but I was uploading #22, not downloading it.

Victor

I am downloading #22 now, should be done by morning.

I would like to offer to send out a couple of copies or so for those who are having trouble downloading it.

I don't want to get overwhelmed with requests but I'm willing to help out if you can't download it.

Jim

Some Please Tell Me How To Burn These Files!!!!!

Some Please Tell Me How To Burn These Files!!!!!


Download the "How to burn ISO to DVD.TXT" file that is on the FTP site, also download the "setupimgburn_2.1.0.0.exe" program. That is in the "ImgBurn" folder, which is also on the FTP site.

ThankS HOLD UP WHAT KIND OF DVD DO I USE? DVD-RW OR DVD+RW

HOLD UP WHAT KIND OF DVD DO I USE? DVD-RW OR DVD+RW
USE A DVD-R OR A DVD+R... UNLESS THE PLAYER YOU ARE USING IT ON CAN PLAY THE RW'S
You probably would have better luck just using a "+ or - r"

I have had great success in downloading and burning the discs. All you need is a little bit of patience and to do a little research on your own and it's a piece of cake. The discs that I have downloaded and tried so far all fantastic.

I for one and I'm sure many, many others would like to thank Steve for hosting these for us and all those that contributed to making and providing access to them for no charge or in expectation of anything in return. This is the kind of thing that makes this forum a great community to be part of.

Thanks again everybody!

Rob

Ok I will keep trying and if I get any downloaded I will try to pass them on. Also, any that I may receive in the mail I will copy and forward on if at all possible.

Thanks for all the help. I hope persistence will pay off.

Thanks to swithey for the prompt & courteous pm response! Many thanks to victor-eyd, all the others who worked on these Demos; I d/l'd and burned Disc-20 and Disc-22 so far, and they are awesome!

Thank you again all; excellent ideas, and great delivery.

DOWNLOAD COMPLETE!

I almost cried this morning when I saw it. Man I hate using new software and no instructions. Now all I have to do is burn it this evening when I get home. I hope the computer is working on a second download right now. Thanks for the description list of what's available that will help me narrow my choices down.

Thanks for the help and listening to me whine. :D

Umm got a question I downloaded disc 3 and some of the chapters are not what they say and it keeps linking back to scenes from Master and Commander, U571 and others. For example the chapter list may read the Matrix but it plays the a scene from National Treasure. Then it just locks up and quits at one section. This is after I burnt the disc using DVD decrypter.

Has anyone else had this problem?

I just checked and the file is about 1'3 the size it should be. It downloaded 1.3GB and the total file size is 3.9GB.

Anybody have any suggestion?

It means that it did not complete downloading. Either try resuming the download or start over.

I found out a long time ago, that when some FTP programs tells you a download is complete, yet it ends up that the file is too small and in fact is not complete. That it seems to be common with some FTP programs, where with others it is no problem. Much earlier in the thread here, there was some discussion about it, and many people reported back what FTP programs worked well and without problems. And some even reported back with the ones that did have problems. If I remember right, many people said that the free Core FTP lite had the least amount of problems with it. And that's the one I ended up using, and with no problems like I had with some of the others I had tried before it.


Here is where to get CoreFTP

http://www.coreftp.com/

Well I guess it was my fault for not checking the file size before I burnt it. I'll move the file back into position and keep trying to download it again. Well I mean resume the download. If I run into problems again I may try Core FTP. Right now the computer is working on Disc 5 so we will see what happens when I get home.

Patience and brains, I need more of them.

I use Core FTP, and its a solid program. I haven't had any issues at all.

This is my first attempt at downloading a dvd. Man it takes some time. I have comcast and am courious about how long should it take to download D2-LFE-Demo?

Bill

Bill
Bill,

About 6-8 hours per DVD depending on your speed. These are rather large files. D2 is smaller so it should take a little less time.

OK, the download took 2 hours. Made the disc using Nero 7 and it does not play in my HD-DVD. I can get it to play in a cheap Colby dvd player but it will not start automatically and gives me an error msg. If I push the play button on the Colby player, the dvd will start. It will not start on my HD-DVD player. ????????

Bill,

2 hours sounds really quick for this DVD. It is possible you don't have the entire disc image. Check the size against the size I have on the summary doc. It may not be exact but should be VERY close.

I have 1,898,089 KB in my file and you have 2.23 GB. It looks like I'm missing some files. I'll do another download.

Bill

My computer does not like doing downloads for a long period of time. Nuts, wasted 2 hours tonite and got nothing. Does anyone out there have D-11 or anything else on disc that they can send to me????? I will reimburse whatever!

Bill

Tried to download last night and when I checked it this AM, NOTHING!!! Bummer, I have done downoads before but not for this long of a duration. Again, does anyone have a disk that they can send tome?

Thanx, Bill

Has anyone had any issues with D21-LFE-Demo2.iso? I've downloaded it three times and can only extract part of it. I had some issues with other iso's and just assumed that my FTP program screwed up. But, since I wanted this particular one quite badly, I tried multiple programs and got the same result. Have any of you been able to extract the entire contents of it?

I encountered a really strange bug using Bulletproof FTP which I've been using for years. Let's say, for the sake of example, the file is 4GB. I'd come down to check on it and it would say it has downloaded 5.6GB (and still downloading!) with the time remaining increasing instead of reducing and the amount downloaded in the negative amounts! It happened several times when downloading from this FTP. I'm not sure if it's just my program or something with the site (which I doubt). The odd thing is that I was usually able to extract all the files from the file even if, at one time, the downloaded file ended up being double the size as the original! :eek: It's as if Bulletproof would keep downloading garbage data and add it to the end of the file. If I tried downloading the file with Internet Explorer (by manually entering the user and pass) it would download fine. Most of them eventually opened, though some of them appeared to miss some chapters and would crash my MCE when I would try to play them. Others, as someone stated above, would play the first demo on the disk when trying to play one of the last ones. I downloaded everything, but it was really the D21 that I wanted as I just added a second HSU VTF3-MK2 to my setup :D

Started my download 2 hours ago and it say I have 35 minutes left. Hope to get this up and runnng tonight

Has anyone had any issues with D21-LFE-Demo2.iso? I've downloaded it three times and can only extract part of it.
What do you mean by "extract"? There shouldn't be anything to extract there. Just simply open with Nero (or some other burning utility) and burn onto a DVD.

I got the D21 downloaded, but haven't burned it yet. On the other hand, I burned D2 and only a handful of scenes will play - others just don't play after I click on them in the main menu. Is this a known bug? It may have been described somewhere earlier in the thread.

Use the free Core FTP program I mentioned above!

I had all those same kind of problems you are having with another FTP program that I was also using for years before with no problems either, until I started D/L these demo disks. I don't know what it is, but I had all that stuff happen to me also. Either with files being either too big and yet still trying to D/L even more, or with them saying they were done but they ended up being too small when downloading these demo DVD's, until I switched over to using Core FTP. And yet I can still use my other FTP program at other places with no problems at all... But for the demo disks the only thing that worked for me was using Core FTP. There are probably other FTP programs that work also, but once I hit on the first one that worked for me without problems, I stopped looking for any others.

Hi...

I would just like to know if there is anybody that will be willing to create a full set of demo-dvds and post it to me in South-Africa?

I will cover all you costs and shipping fees. I am stuck on a DSL 384kbps line that cost me +/- $10 per 1Gb. So it will take me about a month to download all the dvds (at maximum speed, without lost connections) and cost me about $700.

I already downloaded all the artwork but now need the dvds.

Thanks.
