Yoda,Yoda,Yoda what did I do?

[Guest]

I just noticed the Episode III dvd I bought at Meijer's was full screen.

[yoda313]

Full screen??????

Turn right around and RETURN IT!

I thought you knew by know that FOX dvds that are BLUE on the top band are FULL SCREEN and the TAN ones are WIDESCREEN.

NOOB!

[Noahtuck]

Hope you didn't open it!!!!!

I think he should be for making a mistake like that, or for at least admiting it
:P

You found the rapping dancing yoda hidden feature?

I want an animated version of him for an avatar but I suck at graphics.

Where's it at?

[Faustus]

Dunno. I saw video fit on the net. Its hidden there somewhere. Kinda disturbing really.

[Faustus]

Here is how to access the hidden clip of dancing Yoda on the Revenge of the Sith DVD.

On disc 1, go to the language and sound set up section. Highlight the THX logo. Press 1138 on your remote and hit enter!

Depending on your particular style of DVD you may have to try several ways to get the 1138 to enter, i.e. - 1,1,3,8 etc etc.

Thanks to Lenny for the tip!

Yeah i found it in about 1 minute :P

Just opened the disc in DVD Decrypter IFO mode and ripped just that video by itself to my HDD

Pretty funny, him doing his rap & dance with his posse of clone troopers bebopping in the back ground

yeah it's also normally easy to find easter eggs with programs like PGCedit and DVDRemake. It's hard to work out how to get them on your DVD though

[Shadowmistress]

Not really. Using dvdlab and switched menus you could do it. In fact, I was thinking recently of using such a method to password protect some of my dvds. (Well, not from ripping but just from playing. Kind of like a parental control).

You set up the first menu with 10 invisible buttons. 9 out of 10 get set to link back to the menu they sit on, except for the first digit. That will lead to the second menu where 9 out of 10 buttons link back to the first menu except for the second digit which links to the third menu where 9 out of 10 buttons link back to the first menu... and so on. You can have as many digits as you like and all you have to do is clone the menu. When the user presses the wrong button it always sends them back to the first menu so the combination to crack the code increases exponentially with each additional digit.

You can also make buttons out of graphics that don't highlight when navigated to. Really simple, actually.

[MackemX]

I meant getting to them on your DVD player via your remote if you don't know the cheats even though you know the easter eggs exist. I wasn't clear enough but I've been busy posting that I guess I'll be making mistakes everywhere

I've done stuff like you said to created restricted access DVD's and hopefully someone will now know how to do it if they didn't already know

Why bother with the keypad when you can just rip? Easier, faster.

, no need to rip to see if anything is hidden on the DVD as you can access the structure direct using the programs above. I haven't done it in a long time as I normally check the easter egg sites for my DVD's so it saves me looking but once in a while I do but normally find nothing. That's because people normally work them out and post them before I get my DVD's

I don't do backups these days and it's months since I ripped a DVD and those were for testing

Damn you're quick! Are you that quick in everything?

I thought you edited an extra couple of times but I realized my browser wasn't refreshing when I hit the back button. So I corrected (but not 4 times like you). :P

Are you kidding me? He dances for like almost a minute and you can only cut so many frames before it loses it's fluidity. How on earth is that supposed to fit inside 10kb which is avatar max filesize around here?

Of course, if it's not for this board, then what's the target filesize?
Let me know and I'll see what I can do.


(You still want it 80x80 pxls?)

[Faustus]

I didn't say it was an avatar for HERE.

My favorite forum perhaps ?

Soooooo,I'm back from vacation.Dont start work till tomorrow.Think I'll go to Meijer's and try to swap out the fullscreen version.

Should I:

a)tell them I bought the wrong version and want to exchange

b)Tell them it skips and try to pull the switch unnoticed?

and i dont have the receipt

[yoda313]

and i dont have the receipt

You're screwed. Meijer recently adopted "receipts required for returns" this year.

Good luck.

[Guest]

What about exchanges?

[yoda313]

Maybe. Wouldn't hurt to ask.

[yoda313]

So dr. gee any luck on the return/exchange??
