Hi

Can anyone give me the exact running times for each CAV disc for the
Criterian release of the Bond films Dr. No, From Russia with Love and
Goldfinger. Much obliged!

That's a bit hard to come by without some significant effort, since my
LD player only displays frames for CAV discs, not the elapsed time. I
would have to either capture all six sides to my computer and read the
times, or I would have to sit there with a stopwatch while the movies
are playing. Lots of work, regardless, in either event.

Why do you want to know? If it's because of the banned commentary
tracks, they've already been synched up with the anamorphic DVD
transfer.

On a bootleg or someone's home made version of the three movies? Not on any
official release.

Yup. In fact, that "someone" would be me. :-) I cannot tell you how
many hours of time it took to get all three films done correctly, but
it was *many*.

Yeah thats why :) Sadly I only have the commentaries (in AC3), not the
full release synched up to the dvd. The commentaries appear to be
longer than the dvd realses for some reason so I'm trying to figure
out whats wrong.

It's a *lot* of work synching those tracks with the anamorphic video
from the DVDs. I think that it took me a solid week per film of
working on it 6-8 hours/day to get it right. Good luck.

I don't understand why the commentary is longer than the anamorphic
DVD? Surely if you capture the commentary from the CAV discs and cut
it together seamlessly to avoid the disc changes, it'll be the same
length as the DVD?

Actually, I think that the Criterion CAV LDs are a little *short* in
time with respect to the SE DVDs, so you have to fill in the missing
audio of the commentary track with some of the soundtrack from the
DVD.
