Pizza Cats DVDs

[cartoonking10749]

I noticed that volume 1 detail on Ebay that the episode are not in actual order, which is a shame as well as puzzling introducing "Pizza cats are only human part 1" too early.

A two disc edition would be cool with the other containing KNT episodes with english subtitles.
Sounds cool is it not?

You would think that since all these dumb dvd box sets are being released (like the stuff that sits in Best Buy for 5 years and is never bought) They would put out a Real Samurai Pizza Cats DVD.

I think that the only way to actually get it on dvd would be to, ahem, pirate it. Or buy the license to the show itself.
So, yay with the pirating, boo to JADE.

To "pirate" a DVD, you need an original to rip off.  I don't like that Jade messed up the order of the episodes, but at least they gave us SOMETHING.   You're so right about the stupid box sets that come out, a complete SPC DVD whole be so much better than some of the trash that does make it on to DVD (well, to me it would be better than anything ever put on a DVD).  Who ever is responsable for letting the SPC episodes sit on a shelf in some warehouse, not making any money for their owners, is a.... well, I'm not going to use that kind of language here.

OK, here's my problem.. I do have all the episodes on a full set of 12 DVD's, they're all in order and they're all in great clarity.

However, mass copying and shipping these babies is going to cost me a pretty penny.

I need some cheap way, that I can do myself, to release these eps to you people who I know you want them.

Just find a friend with a DVD-burner, make 1 copy and ship it to me, adam, or tsuneko. We could take care of distro from there.

Burke: you should just make a few copies of it to send out to other people with burners who will can help make copies to send to eager fans.
Also, I hope you're planning to do this as a non-profit endeavor. i.e., sell them for what it costs you to make them. You don't want to get into any legal trouble.

[BurkeWorld]

I have a burner myself, I know to do it.

These DVD's are PAL format as well, so I have to change them to NTSC

Was this from Europe (UK?) or Hong Kong? I heard stories about an SPC DVD set and a VHS tape set in the UK. I never found any info on it though.

Ok well If I'm correct your using 12 regular DVDs there, Im not sure if its cheaper over there, but what if you use dual layer DVD's they hold almost twice as much meaning you'll only need about 5-6 discs instead of 12. But like I said in the end its probably cheaper the way your doing it.
Also I was thinking you could compress the eps into something like a Winzip folder and spread them across 3 or so discs, so we would just have to extract them on our side, then again Im not sure if that would save that much space either ^^;

If someone could get these on line still in the DVD quality, then people could start making their own DVDs.  I don't know a lot about ripping stuff from DVDs or how to keep the quality at the original level, but I'm sure there are some people here who do.  It could even be done one episode at a time, since they are sure to be big files.  Once more people have them, it'll be easier for people to make more DVDs.  I know if I had them, I'd keep them all on my computer (even if I have to go buy another HD) and keep uploading them via P2P networks.

What you're talking about is sharing the decrypted DVDs in the form of VOB files. The files would each be GBs in size, but they would be 100% quality. When ripping individual episodes to VOBs you just have to click the right "chapters" on in the decrypter program. For the SPC eBay DVD I have, 2 at a time was an episode (1&2, 3&4, etc). The only problem is that sending those files will take hours if not a day per episode.

I've waited years.  Hours or days isn't a problem.  But like I said, I don't really know much about this stuff.  I do know that if it was out there, I'd download it and share it.  Even if it takes months and requires buying more storage drives.

[Threaux]

If you have a high speed Internet connection and use a torrent or direct file sharing program (like the file send feature on AIM, Get Right, etc.) it should take a day or two at most,  I leave my PC on for weeks at a time downloading mutiple files up to 8 GB's in size, so I  have no problem doing it for the SPC DVD (and I'm sure most people here would like to get their paws on it). And If you need space to store it all just pick up an external Hard Drive for $90.

[adam808]

Actually, it might be better to go ahead and just make ISO images of the DVDs and send those. It'd make reproducing the DVDs that much easier. 4.7 GB each however. Sounds like he'd rather just mail them, but someone along the way will probably start sharing the full ISOs or VOBs of each ep anyway. As long as that isn't a problem...

If they are pal episodes that is an interesting revelation.

If you convert the frame rate to NTSC you will lose audio synch about 3 minutes into the show.

If you can just leave them as they are and rip them then encode them as they are - they should come out at about 250mb each episode.

as i don't know the resolution, it should be the same as the french ones - 688x512. as the french ones are pal also - but i've readjusted the frame rate so the americans can watch them on their DVD's without much problem. Encoding them to MPeg2 is easy.

are you sure?  not that i don't believe you, but i'd like to ask for proof about this.

I am sure
in 2001, Disney bought Saban and renamed it BVS Entertainment
since then they are stuck doing strictly Power Rangers and Digimon
leaving shows like SPC abandoned!

[Violet]

Some French company was able to make a DVD set years after Saban was bought out, so someone must still have it.

[D-Mac]

That's Technically NOT True
since Disney bought Saban strictly for Digimon and Power Rangers

I don't really believe this right off the bat, as Dinsey has made use of other Saban/Fox Family properties as well.

For example, The Tick airing on Toon Disney and Spider-Man The Animated Series having DVD episodes released by Walt Disney Video.

Some French company was able to make a DVD set years after Saban was bought out, so someone must still have it.

It's very possible that Saban gave Déclic Images the license to publish SPC in France prior to their buyout at the hands of Disney. A license which Disney legally had to continue to honor.

[CyberFox]

even so
I believe Disney has no interest on putting Samurai Pizza Cats on TV nor on DVD
