hehehehe - that's it!

That is the copy I got from Kazaa, which is different from the one Hair and most of the others have...it is the 2 700MB files version.... It is really a beautiful version, isn't it? Hard to believe it's coming out of the computer, lol
Is the Imesh version all in one file? That might be worthwhile for me, since I can hold the entire 1.4+ GB file on my hard drive...
To: Penny1
So that editing software you have doesn't allow you to merge the two files together? - I wondered about that.
To: HairOfTheDog
A minor detail change really, for that scene which already had little resemblance to the book I know...why oh why did they screw the whole thing up with Arwen? There's no way Elrond would've sent his daughter out to possibly face the Nazgul...
I was looking forward to Glorfindel...now there's a warrior... fought the Witch King in single combat and lived to tell the tale...

If it is available where you are when you feel like upgrading, I would HIGHLY recommend cable. My download speed is a LOT higher than DSL, and in my area, it is cheaper. My upload speed is not a fast as DSL, but most folk don't need to SEND stuff quickly very often.
To: HairOfTheDog
Well, it very well might. And I am sure there is some software out there that can, if virtualdub doesn't. However, I know how projects like that can take up an entire weekend (a different version of "The Lost Weekend"), so I would much rather not re-invent the wheel if I don't have to. ;)
Mainly, I'd like to try it because I am learning how to burn a VCD of it, which is then playable on most DVD players. However, that takes more than two CDs, so it would be nice if I could work with one whole file and split it into 3, rather than using two files and either having to join them or split them into two files each and have the thing take up 4 CDs. Yikes. I think have way too many toys to play with!

I didn't know upload speed was faster with DSL! At least there's something I can be glad I have DSL for. ;) I actually probably do way more uploading than downloading, when it comes down to it, so that is good news indeed.

To: Overtaxed
Hehehe. Ready for another round of Arwen bashing? Naahh... already been done...and she is easy on the eye...
I was just shocked (the first time) they left out Bombadil, Old man Willow, and the Barrow Downs...

Only Peter Jackson knows why Glorfindel got the axe. Trying to help newbies not have to remember too many characters I guess. I don't think he predicted that most of us would be able to keep them all straight, nor that the most rabid fans would begin to show an interest in the elf-extra
Figwit. But then who could have predicted that?
By the way, I am measuring my own obsession on whether there are still others that are worse than me.

I will explore my options more carefully.

No - Hullo! - I had to dig deep to find that Figwit article that no one asked for... and then I was distracted by the story below at TORN and had to read that!
"Hobbit-Hole" House ordered destroyed
I wondered if it was the New Zealander who got our first thread started... It is not, by the way.
To: Corin Stormhands
If you have newsgroup access, it is also available in the alt.binaries.movies.divx group. I have seen both versions posted there, split into several dozen 14-20MB WinRAR files.

By the way, I am measuring my own obsession on whether there are still others that are worse than me. That's my philosophy too! As long as there are those who think up names for Elf extras; those who build scale models of Mt. Doom that really flame; those who publish webzines in Elvish; those who write ten paragraph essays on why they love (insert name of basically any character) - there is hope for me!

I wouldn't count you obsessed. I think you are a student of the books.
To: JenB
Precious... does Smeagol want it or not?
To: carton253
Yes
