Hi
If any Of you want Sleeping Beauties I can Copy this for you. I live in the UK so it will be taped in PAL Uk SP format. Its the short film directed by jaimee babbitt.
The tape I have also has How to make a monster on it, so if you want the lot taping just let me know.
All I ask for my trouble is that you send costs to cover for the tape and postage to where you live.
Hope I can help you fellow Cleaites
Or If you have How to make the Cruelest Month, you could help me.
Thanks
Jodes

hmm so thats a different format from VHS right? how does one convert it to the US format? thanks!

Unfortunately TV norm conversion is not that easy - especially from PAL to NTSC.
Easier would be a multi norm TV set, and a video recorder with PAL and NTSC playback. Here in Europe most TV sets and video recorders are able to handle NTSC (sometimes changed into PAL60), but I don't know about US-TVs and video recorders, as usually the USA don't care about other TV norms (you're happy with Never The Same Color :P ).
Anyway, there're stores offering norm conversion for money - you can check that out.

Hah! You beat me to it, Dr. Nick. I was going to say Never Twice the Same Colour. Good old NTSC and it's wonderful frame rate.

BTW, SophieCarny - NTSC and PAL are both VHS video format, it's the frame rate (the number of times a still image is displayed per second) they are recorded at that differs... so the playback quality suffers if you play NTSC in a PAL zone (machine) and vice versa. I think there is a NTSC/PAL convertor in most TVs these days, so the worst thing that happens is a lack of true colour, and a lot of lines when you press pause... or am I wrong?

The problem is that both TV and video recorder must be able to handle the norm. If you play a PAL video on an NTSC video recorder (without PAL playback feature) the picture will be B/W - regardless if the TV is able to handle PAL signals or not, moreover it'll flicker, 'cause of different sync signals used (60 Hz vs 50 Hz) - another problem is that NTSC has 525 lines, while PAL has 625.

I bow to your inordinate wisdom and bounty of knowledge...

:yes:

thanks kate and the good doctor!

say what?

ok so to convert NTSC to PAL( or whatever they have here) i need a special VCR??

kate, do you have it on DVD by any chance. I really want to see this short!

thanks

Hi
I am willing to send you out a copy of it on vhs to see if it works in your system.
Dont worry about any costs.
Just e-mail me on my msn msgr and I will sort something out.
Also If My brother comes up good, I might have a way of getting it transfered from the vhs to a vcd. B)
Take care
Jodes

Norm conversion capable video recorders are rather expensive, and not really needed. As I already mentioned a simple playback feature would be enough. But I doubt that US-video recorders offer such a PAL playback feature (cause it is more difficult), while almost all PAL/European video recorders offer NTSC playback (usually as PAL60 - which is NO real norm conversion!). Also if you want it on VCD/SVCD/DVD check whether you DVD player is able to handle PAL discs (or whoever encodes it, be sure to encode it in NTSC)!

Jodes, you rock.

Sophie, I don't have it on DVD, but - Jodie mentioned that she might send me a VHS copy, and I can convert VHS to quicktime/WMP and zip it to you on a disk for your computer - if the VHS thing doesn't work out for you.

We'll see how it goes, hey? Fingers crossed for you.

Could you zip and email it to an aol account???? :/

hey thanks jodie and kate!

for some reason i thought kate was the one who started this thread :$ , so i addressed the request to her..

ok i'll be in touch jodie.

ps- noticed you stood up for clea on hbo.com!! u go grl ^_^

pps- i just got carnivale (entire season) on VCD from ebay. if anyone needs it let me know

If I could compress it enough, I could email it - what's the limit on AOL?

Don't worry about addressing the DVD request to me, Sofie... subconsciously, you just wanted to speak to me, I understand that.

Yeah that idiot on HBO got my goat so I gave him a right dressing down, whoever it was, there was no need for it.
Also If you have Carnivale would you PlZZZZZZ send me a copy of it to England. I will cover your costs hun.
Thanks alot
Jodes B)

damn i didnt know i was that transparent :yes: ;)

yeah sure, once i get it in the mail. so you copy VCD's the same as you burn CDs right? ( never dealt with VCD's b4)

i have a feeling that asshole is reading this board , ah well screw him :@

Yeah I have more than a ISP feeling that the person from HBO is on this board also.
:angry:

Hey guys, I'm new to this thing so thought I should say hi. I'm from the UK and I was convinced it was very difficult to get clea films such as sleeping beauties especially in the UK(but I was wrong thankfully). I'm here for a few reasons; clea chat with people who respect her the way I do; to find out how exactly how did you get your hands on sleeping beauties cleaduvallslover?; can i have a copy please and of anything else that is going guys? Any VCds or video copies, anything really!

Well enough of the waffle, hopefully hear from you soon!

hey CDlover

Ok babes.
Thanks so much for offering to do the Carnivale vcd's for me, you dont know how desperatly I have been waiting to watch Carnivale. I wasnt sure if you could actually get Sleeping Beauties on dvd.
Im Having a Great Birthday besides the fact Im getting too old, i must be the oldest Clea fan on here, Im now 29, but never mind, least Clea has a ranging fan base.
Thanks again
Jodes B)

Jodes :P

Think I'm being really silly here, but what's the powerup site? Could you give me the address please? Cheers!

Happy new year everyone!!

It's not that difficult to convert video from Pal to NTSC with the right program. Also, for DVD it may be possible to "hack" your player to play movies from other zones. There are lists available of player hacks online if you're interested.

I think that the Power-Up site is www.powerup.net. It might be "power-up.net"...Yup....its http://www.power-up.net Enjoy.

:wub: Linz is so great :wub:
