I think it's just a load of bull...

I can tell those are doctored pictures and stuff...

I'm afraid I must agree...It jsut seems 'too good to be true'...

~~PWDESAI~~ · 10-02-2002, 07:44 PM

no it is true, u can make ur own vcd's now. There are programs that let you do this. All he did was take all the episodes taht aneruysm encoded, and put them on vcd format, and madea lot of nice labels and menu's. i was thinking of doing this with the eps i have, but it takes a real long time to do, and i didn't think it was worth my time. Those are actually pretty illegal, but no one cares.

**azure turtle** · 10-02-2002, 08:24 PM

I'm not willing to pay that much money for episodes that someone DLed from the internet for free. I'll wait for the official DVD versions, and if those don't come out, then I'll be fine anyway. I've already survived more than a decade with only 5 cartoon videos.

*Nickokapo* · 10-02-2002, 08:35 PM

What pwdesai said, those are just the DiVX aneurysm encodes, converted to VCD and made some fancy labels and menus...i think it's a scam, you can just get them from the net, so paying for em is kinda stupid...but i guess people with slow connection will prefer to buy them.Sigh, to each his own

Here are some of the VCD pictures and some DiVX pictures, so that you can see they're the same:
-=VCD (Taken from transformerscds.com)=-

-=DiVX (Taken from my episodes =P )=-

As you can see they're pretty much the same episodes...and i'm sure the vcds are ilegal, what with breaking copyright rules and making money off other people's stuff and all...but whatcha gonna do, no one truly cares

If you need more pictures to compare you can go to http://tortugasninja.5u.com/1987.html and http://tortugasninja.5u.com/1988.html there are some more pictures taken from the divx files up to episode 15.

**Machias Banshee** · 10-02-2002, 10:15 PM

Those two bottom pics of Splinter...what eps are those from? He looks so sad in the one on the left....

*Nickokapo* · 10-02-2002, 10:49 PM

The first picture is from episode 3 and the second picture is from episode 15, he is sad because he wishes to be a human once again

**Machias Banshee** · 10-02-2002, 10:56 PM

Awww...I just wanna hug him

I wish i had the first five eps...I lost the first and the fifth cuz of my Kazaa...

Bummer machias

i almost lost one of my episodes once because i burned it on a cd with a bunch of miscelaneous trash and then i couldn't find it...i found it some days after that but i had to browse most of my cds which was annoying

I would send you those 2 episodes but i don't know any ways of doing so besides ftp and kazaa (which i shouldn't include since it doesn't works for you and doesn't work for me very well, too)

**Machias Banshee** · 10-02-2002, 11:05 PM

Well, I'm gonna redownload Kazaa...*the evil one, yeah...

* and Maybe we can do something...

Hey, do you know anyting about the newest version of Kazaa?

*Nickokapo* · 10-02-2002, 11:10 PM

Allrighty...as long as my firewall doesn't block anything and there isn't a kazaa version mismatch problem it should work fine

edit: i don't know anything about the new kazaa version...it's called "kazaa v2" but i'm still using kazaa lite.

**Machias Banshee** · 10-02-2002, 11:17 PM

Well, I'm DLing right now, Lets just hoope it doesnt have those evil files nad programs that the first one had...that's why there's a kazaa lite out, i heard...

Yeah kazaa lite was made because the creators wanted a kazaa version with none of these programs...i don't know if there's a kazaa lite v2 tho.

**Machias Banshee** · 10-02-2002, 11:40 PM

Grr...It STILL doesnt want to work!!! *attacks kazaa with giant rubber mallet*

*Nickokapo* · 10-02-2002, 11:46 PM

Maybe your pc has a firewall that blocks the ports that kazaa uses? *runs away from dangerous-machias-with-dangerous-mallet*

heintzvelvet · 10-03-2002, 12:06 AM

What a jerk!!! How could he do that and have a clear concience? besides he only has 190 eps, when really theres 194! well 193 because theres no episode 76 due to numbering changes!

The sad thing is that someone bid on it!!

Poor unfortunate soul!

heintzvelvet · 10-03-2002, 12:07 AM

what does he mean by Dual VCD Menus?? and how could I do it?

*Nickokapo* · 10-03-2002, 12:37 AM

Yeah someone bidded already

is it me or 195 bucks for a homemade dvd set is too much?

I'm pretty much against this kind of stuff...he shouldn't be selling what HE GOT FOR FREE

i would just wait for an official release of the tmnt dvds...not only will the quality will be much better (audio and video wise), but the creators will get the money they deserve...then again, the possibility of official tmnt cartoon dvds never seing the light of day or the people who can't download episodes for free because of whatever reason somehow justifies it a little bit...but 195 bucks is a rip off anyways, they're obviously selling it for profit.

And if the poor soul that bought that vcd set then sees an official dvd set he'll be the idiot with a lower quality copy of the set he *SPENT ALMOST 2 HUNDRED BUCKS ON*
Well...now i think there is more reason why i should join PWDESAI and make a tmnt distro, be it on imesh, kazaa, imazaa, kimesh or whatever...if the episodes somehow are more available, there will be at least a little less need of buying something that was meant to be free (i'm not talking about the cartoon itself, i still think it should get an official dvd release, i'm talking about aneurysm's divx encodes)
Plus they still are missing 3 episodes, nyah nyah nyah =P
And i don't know anything about Dual VCD Menus...in fact, i...don't...know...anything...about...VCDS

well i know some stuff but i mean i've never made one because there was no need to...
I think what he meant by "Dual VCD Menus" was that you can choose between 2 different menus (one for the cartoon and one for the toys, according to the site) but as you might have guessed already, i have no idea how to make them.
You can go to www.vcdhelp.com...i haven't checked myself but you will probably find how to make dual vcds there, that's one of the best vcd sites ever!
And now if you will excuse me, i'll think of ways of distroing the episodes (starting by making an FTP topic)
I'm already sharing in kazaa (ahhh...once again.It will be pointless i know but it's worth the try) and i'll wait for the direct connect hub to be up again (if darthraphael wants to put it up again, that is...i dunno what happened to that)
Imesh crashes and i can't send by IRC (even tho there are fileservers in IRC and PWDESAI is sharing in imesh so thanks to both by helping out

)
Eh, i should have made my post shorter.

*Skeletoncrew* · 10-03-2002, 12:43 AM

I don't think that bidder is going to be getting the set. I just went to report the item to eBay and its already been reported. They're investigating right now. I think its such BS that this person is trying to sell it.
