half way there

took me this long and it's that much of an insane task, jesus... and the issue I have is that the youtube stream of the movie I'm getting the audio from to make it english is lower quality than the french rip. No doubt it's an older encode from way back or something or youtube just downgrades the audio on stuff for easier streaming... wouldn't mind going and getting a proper dvd rip with excellent audio to swap it out with, but all my searching has come up with nuthin... my plan is to do the edit best I can then once I aquire a better audio just swap it with the youtube version and it should fit in prettymuch perfectly...

Max files size I hope comes up around 800mb. That's larger than the rip itself which means I shouldn't lose any of the quality it already has.

It's a slow process which is why it's killing me so I decided to take time off from it. It's gonna drive me mad to focus on it for too long... Looking forward to finishing, good grief.

I've had no choice but to repair scenes in the french dvd rip that were corrupted by the anti-rip code on dvds. They're supposed to make them unrippable. Well in this case the person ripped it fine but whatever code was in the dvd to prevent it was trying to screw up the picture so bits here and there are distorted. The ripper didn't bother to try again and get a better one, just let be as is. Thanks bro... So whenver the image screws up I used the youtube footage to fill it in and its gonna be awkward but I can't stand when the picture just flat out jerks around and screws up as it tends to do from time to time...

Overall I will say this. Years ago I planned to cobble together a version of this movie using merely the two youtube vids of warriors that are available. Yep even if it was all crappy quality at least it'd be in 16:9. So to finally get my hands on the big higher quality version Iv'e been looking for has motivated me to do this. I've watched half that I did and was enjoying it. There's something funny about certain bits but overall, no jarring out of sync issues to be noted and corrected. I hope the rest of the film is going to go this way and we can experience the movie as intended. See ya on the other side of this journey.... damn good movie, love how tongue in cheek it is... so 90s
