О! Это вообще жуткое занятие. Без полллитры не разберешься... Я долго вникал в это:
http://www.subs.com.ru/page.php?al=rip_subtitles_dvd



вообще ничего не поняла...
хотя не безнадежно...
один вопрос- субтитры можно вытащить только в формат как по след ссылке у тебя или их можно открыть непосредственно при просмотре фильма?
и когда я это все по шагам сделаю можно сохранить чтобы при каждом запуске открывался уже исправленный вариант?

cheers,wijoe

При просмотре фильма тоже можно включить субтитры. Только надо, чтобы плеер поддерживал закрытые субтитры (Closed Captions). Из компьютерных - это, например, ZoomPlayer. И надо еще там, в настройках, включить эту возможность...
А те субтитры, которые я вытащил можно смотреть вместе с фильмом программкой Media Player Classic. А можно перегнать DVD в avi и смотреть любой программой все это с жесткого диска. Только, надо, чтобы файл видео и субтитров назывались одинаково (с разными расширениями).

2 wjioe. Какова продолжитьельность серии на твоем ДВД. Где-то слышал, что продолжительность оригинальной серии 50 минут, а ни 40 как нам показывали по ОРТ?

Вот это потрясающая новость!!! КАК это 1-2-й сезоны есть с русским переводом???????? Вообще-то мы тут обсуждаем оригинальный англоязычный DVD, а русский лишь в наших мечтах! КАК это куплены и отсмотрены??? ГДЕ куплены? Неужели наши пираты уже подсуетились и прилепили русский перевод? И ты до сих пор молчал? Можно в этом месте поподробнее...
Интересно было бы узнать кто занимается выпуском этих дисков?

Это действительно ОЧЕНЬ-ОЧЕНЬ интересно. Где это чудо продается? Есть ли какая-то информация об их издателе? Какое качество видео, звука, перевода на них?
Сгораю от нетерпения!!!

Спешу удовлетворить твое нетерпение!
Какое качество видео, звука, перевода на них?


Качество звука и видео нормальное. Я так подозреваю, что такое же как и на заморском ДВД. Перевод ОРТшный. Тот самый при котором Дэйвид в первых сериях первого сезона называет Мэдди - "Мати". Я вот хотел узнать на счет качества моих дисков. Самым главным показателем будет являтся, пожалуй, длительность серий.
Что касается издателя то вот это было на обложке ДВД.
Произведено ООО "Релик". Москва, ул. Маяковского 37 в, 495 479-56-83. Лицензия итд итп по заказу "Нью Дивизион Групп" Москва, ул. Вригина 3, 495 273-18-19 прокатное удостоверение итд, итп. При поддержке Службы Кинематографии Министерства Культуры РФ


Диск есесно пиратский и насколько можно верить этой информации решайте сами. В конце концов можно проверить.

Приобрел я это чудо на местном радиорынке. Причем не заметил, что это вещь раритетная. в двух местах видел. Еще и успел поторговаться Так как я живу на востоке Украины и имею возможность купить эти диски, то думаю для москвичей это проблемой являтся не будет. Сходите на Митинку, что ли. Ну, если уж не найдете то те кто из Москвы стучите мне в аську 39063633.
На каждом диске по 11 серий. Это правильно?

Что-то очень подозрительный этот ДВД! Оригинальная длительность серии от начальной заставки ABC Video до финальных титров с песней 50 мин+- 5 мин. Так что 40-минутная серия настораживает...
Дальше. В первом сезоне 6 серий (если считать 2-серийный пилот за одну), во втором - 18. В сумме как минимум 24, а не 22.
Вполне возможно, что значок ABCVideo в левом верхнем углу сделан просто для того, чтобы перекрыть логотип ТВ-канала? Мне сильно кажется, что это записано просто с ТВ.

Сколько стоит это чудо? И еще, оригинальный DVD ценен тем, что на нем есть комментарии Уиллиса и Шефарт и Кэрона. Хотя я бы наш купила с неменьшим удовольствием.

Да вполне может быть и такое. Если это так, то это скорее всего запись с последнего показа на СТС.

Introduction:

Relive the unforgettable double-talk and witty foreplay as Maddie Hayes and David Addison unlock the mystery to sidesplitting laughter as TV’s sexiest private detectives in the third season of Moonlighting!

Starring a then-unknown Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd, Moonlighting was one of the highest-rated shows on television during its run on ABC from 1985-89. As the recipient of six Emmy® Awards and two Golden Globe® Awards during its impressive run, this 1980s beloved television series is brought to you now.

Golden Globe®-Winner Cybill Shepherd stars as Maddie Hayes, a former high-fashion model who discovers one morning that her business manager has stolen all the money she has in the bank. However, it turns out that she still owns some non-liquid assets ­ money-losing companies that were maintained as tax write-offs. Planning to shut his detective agency down, Maddie meets with David Addison (Golden Globe® and Emmy® Award-Winner Bruce Willis), and a fast-talking private eye, who persuades her to keep his business open. Maddie becomes David’s new boss, and while their personalities clash, a sexual tension arises in the time they spend together. But the question always remains… will they or won’t they? The show also stars Allyce Beasley as the receptionist at the Blue Moon detective agency.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Memorable Episodes / Notable Guest Stars:

All the episodes in this season are great -­ this is easily the highpoint of the series. After this season, it’s just downhill. When the show had an episode, it was good. Top episodes below:

The Son Also Rises: David’s estranged father makes a surprise visit to announce his upcoming wedding and to introduce his bride-to-be, who comes as a shock to David.

Big Man on Mulberry Street: Maddie becomes consumed with curiosity when David announces he must fly back to New York to attend the funeral of his former wife’s brother. And also features the great dance sequence to Billy Joel.

Atomic Shakespeare: A boy hoping to watch “Moonlighting” but forced to study Shakespeare instead daydreams about the cast performing their own version of The Taming of the Shrew, complete with Petruchio Dave and Kate Maddie.

It’s a Wonderful Job: A depressed Maddie gets a chance to see what her life and the rest of the Blue Moon staff would be like if she had sold the agency as she originally intended.

The Straight Poop: Rona Barrett investigates the rumors about the discord among the principals at the Blue Moon Detective Agency.

Blonde on Blonde: Maddie’s strange mood has David worried, so he spends the evening following her, but ends up involved in a murder.

Sam and Dave: Dave and Maddie quarrel over Sam as they keep watch on a man for his mistress, who’s convinced he’s two-timing her.

Maddie’s Turn to Cry: Maddie feels more and more confused about Sam and Dave after an all-night stakeout with Dave ends in an early morning proposal from Sam.

I Am Curious…Maddie: Sam confronts Dave about Maddie, and tells him he’s not good enough for her.

To Heiress Human: Maddie tries to ignore the previous night as she and David tackle a new case: a woman wants evidence that her fiance loves her and not her father’s money.

List of Guest Stars:
Paul Sorvino (Law & Order): The Son Also Rises
Charles Rocket (Saturday Night Live) The Son Also Rises; It’s a Wonderful Job

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Packaging:

The box is a continuation of the rather unique style packaging from the first release. As opposed to going with a Digipak ­ which are what most studios use for releases this size; they’ve bound two free-swinging double-sided disc holders to the spine of the box itself, creating a book-like package. The graphics of the box are done in a color-change reflective style -­ the box changes color depending on how light hits it. The front of the box is rather simple, featuring a standard shot of David and Maddie appearing in front of a moon above the skyline. Unlike the first release, the moon is a fixed part of the box art. There are four discs total. The first disc is home to the first 4 episodes. The disc art on #1 is a picture of Maddie on the right, with a moon on the left. Disc 2, keeping up the theme, features the moon on the left half of the disc, while there’s a shot of David on the right half in grayish blue. This disc holds episodes five through eight. The third disc ­ holding episodes 9 through 12 - again features a moon on the left half, while the blue-hued photo on the right this time is a shot of Agnes. The final disc holds episodes 13-15 and the documentary and features new cast member Herbert (Curtis Armstrong).



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Menu Design and Navigation:

Menus are excellently done, and are once again a marvel to behold. ­ Lionsgate should continue to be very proud of their work on them. For all four discs, you gradually fly into the nighttime view of the moon and city. In the main menu, various clips from the episodes on the discs play inside the moon on the left side of the screen, while the menu options are on the right side. The long version of the slow-paced music that was used as the opening theme on the pilot episode, as well as background music in various scenes, plays in the background on a loop with the clips. Episode selection menus, after an animated transition from the main menu (the animations exist on menu-out regardless of which option chose) feature small images and episode titles inside the moon taking up the left half of the screen. Main Menu is selectable in the bottom right corner. The episode title serves as the menu options for most episodes. Episodes with commentary tracks appear slightly differently. The episode title is no longer selectable on those episodes…Play Episode, and Play Episode with Commentary by [x], [y] and [z] are the selectable options. The menus are essentially carryovers from the first set, but this time changed to a blue-ish tone. The color’s different, so that fulfills my need for change for the set.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Video and Audio Quality:

Video looks amazing. It’s that simple. No grain. Colors look perfect. There’s no obvious edge correction. No compression artifacts. It is simple and perfect. The episodes were Digitally Audio sounds awesome. The show once again comes in a Dolby Digital 2.0 setup and the audio sounds just as good as before. The awesome Al Jarreau theme is loud and crystal clear -­ fairly evenly mixed across both the left and right channels. Sound effects have the right volume and impact for a given situation - ­as do dialogue and music. The audio balance is just perfect. Chapter stops once again at fade-to-black.

You guys know the drill by now: Runtimes. As we’re reviewing this set late, obviously any news about syndication edits would have leaked out by now. Some episodes DO run shorter, but it’s nothing ridiculous…and given the script problems the show often had, episodes running at strange times relative to one another make sense. Here though ARE runtimes.

The Son Also Rises: 50:05

Special Features:

Big Man on Mulberry Street: Commentary with Jay Daniel. Jay produced this - and every other - episode of Moonlighting. Solo commentaries are always an interesting thing. The restaurant in the open is across the street from ABC's LA offices. This is just a...interesting commentary. You've got to hear this for yourself. I'm kind of rushing through this one, because... [47:51]

Atomic Shakepeare: Glenn Caron, Jay Daniel...Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis! Cybill and Bruce are on the same commentary track! This is possibly the most fondly remembered episode of Moonlighting. Idea for episode came from Glenn seeing Taming of the Shrew being performed. Among the first 44 Moonlighting scripts, most scripts got rewritten by Glenn (contributing to the delays), but this one didn't. Incidentally, Glenn insisted this episode actually be written in Shakespeare-esque iambic pentameter. They shot for 11 days, plus 5 days of secondary filming. Shooting should have taken 7-8 days. The costs to make this episode were so astoundingly high that no one even remembers anymore. Everyone - and I mean everyone - takes notice at the appearance at Colm Meaney, something I happened to think was nice. Cybill wasn't completely thrilled with the concept at first - hindsight she loves it. You can keep track of what was shot as the A and B material based on night and day - and the entire team keeps you apprised of the shoot time. And that was just the first 9 minutes of commentary. This show runs 49:27.

Straight Poop: Fan commentary from fans Diane Hopkins, Cindy Klauss, Hazel Hart, Vicky Briasco and Lizzie. No new episode for weeks before this one aired. If you want to see an INTERESTING commentary, this is it. The rarely-heard fan's perspective gets heard. I apologize if I misspelled anyone's names; this is getting written at 3 AM. Runs 47:51

Sam and Dave: Glenn Caron and Mark Harmon. Glenn called Jeff Jarvis from People Magazine and he agreed to do Moonlighting to talk about what was going on at Moonlighting (this is part of a multi-episode arc). Eating up time was important on Moonlighting. Wow Mark Harmon was young back then. And Bruce Willis had hair. Glenn was certain Mark wouldn't do the show. But Mark did the show. And now Mark's doing the commentary. There was no script for this. Runs 48:52

Memories of Moonlighting: Glenn Caron, Bruce Willis, and Cybill Shepherd appear together in a new retrospective piece that runs 29:11. Outside interviews feature Jay Daniel, Allyce Beasley...How the hell did Moonlighting blow SIXTEEN nominations?!?!. It's still amazing that Moonlighting never got a full 22 episodes in the can. And guess what: Atomic Shakespeare is the most popular Moonlighting episode, but was the lowest rated of at least the season.

Total Runtime of Special Features: 2:55:49

Introduction:

Starring a then-unknown Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd, Moonlighting was one of the highest-rated shows on television during its run on ABC from 1985-89. As the recipient of six Emmy® Awards and two Golden Globe® Awards during its impressive run, this 1980s beloved television series is brought to you now just in time for its 20th anniversary!

Golden Globe®-Winner Cybill Shepherd stars as Maddie Hayes, a former high-fashion model who discovers one morning that her business manager has stolen all the money she has in the bank. However, it turns out that she still owns some non-liquid assets – money-losing companies that were maintained as tax write-offs.

Maddie becomes David’s new boss, and while their personalities clash, a sexual tension arises in the time they spend together. But the question always remains… will they or won’t they? The show also stars Allyce Beasley as the receptionist at the Blue Moon detective agency.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Memorable Episodes / Notable Guest Stars:

There are some real quality gem-caliber episodes here. The Pilot episode, originally aired as a TV movie in March 1985 is absolutely outstanding. Be on the lookout for a young Mary Hart, playing herself, when Maddie is leaving the police station. Also, ALF fans may be interested to know that Raquel Ochmonek (Liz Sheridan) in this episode – mainly in the first Maddie scene. The next episode sees Blue Moon gain there first client, Pat Corley (Phil on Murphy Brown), who plays a man looking for his “son” who is lured away by David while waiting at another detective office. There’s an amazing scene in the start of the episode between Pat’s character Franklin…and Brummer (played by Tim Robbins), who was sent to kill him. The season 2 premiere, “Brother, Can You Spare a Blonde?” features ex-SNL alum Charles Rocket (most famous for saying the f-word on-air during a live SNL broadcast) as David’s brother Richard – who is being chased by a drug dealer who wants money that Richard took from him.

The episode Money Talks, Maddie walks is good – there are no guest stars, but the plot is good. Maddie, after the near-suicide of a friend, learns where her embezzling accountant (the embezzlement being how Maddie wound up becoming a detective in the first place) has disappeared to. The very next episode is significant for a number of reasons, as discussed in the special features. Orson Welles starts off the episode with an introduction, explaining how most of the episode will be in black-and-white. As it turns out, Orson Welles died exactly one week after taping of this scene. There’s a tribute graphic at the very top of the episode, dedicating the episode to him. The episode finds Dave and Maddie dreaming up their solutions to a case from 1946 left unsolved. As fans had been writing in hounding them to do from day one, Dave and Maddie kiss in the episode – while in a dream. Barbara Bain of Mission Impossible and Space: 1999 fame appears in the next episode, My Fair David. Dana Delany appears in the next episode as Dave’s old girlfriend – who’s now asking for His and Maddie’s help regarding a bad marriage. Perfect Strangers fans should pay attention to the episode Atlas Belched – Mark Linn-Baker, just a few months before becoming Larry Appleton, guests.

Twas the Episode Before Christmas, the show’s first Christmas episode, is quite good – and has a couple of notable guest stars. A pre-Homicide/Law & Order Richard Belzer, who at the time was best known for his stand-up, guest stars alongside a pre-Fresh Prince James Avery In the episode, Ms. Dipesto finds a baby left in her apartment by a woman trying to escape from hit men…at the same time that Dave and Maddie are fighting about using the office phone system as a “Santa Hotline.” That is great stuff. The episode itself actually ends early, as the last few minutes is nothing but the cast, crew, and their families gathered on the soundstage singing “The First Noel”. Every Father’s Daughter is a Virgin is noteworthy if only for the introduction by Dave and Maddie, reading viewer letters, wanting to know if they’d ever kiss (within the context of an actual episode, rather than a dream The whole introduction is one of the somewhat rare “breaking the fourth wall” moments when actors, while IN character, acknowledge they’re in a TV show. Whoopi Goldberg, Judd Nelson, and a pre-Hogan Family Edie McClurg guest star in the awesome 2nd season finale, in which a woman (Whoopi) on the run from a crooked cop (Nelson) accidentally saves a senator’s life while running from the cop. These are just the HIGHLIGHTS; the other episodes are still great in their own right.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Packaging:

The box is rather unique. As opposed to going with a Digipak – which is what most studios use for releases this size, they’ve bound three double-sided disc holders to the spine of the box itself, creating a book-like package. The graphics of the box are done in a color-change reflective style – the box changes color depending on how light hits it. The back of the box is rather simple, featuring the standard David and Maddie appear in front of a moon above the skyline. As is revealed by opening the set, the moon in fact turns out to be another part of the packaging all together – it’s the first disc. There are six discs total. The first disc is home to the 2-hour pilot episode, as well as the first 2 regular episodes. Disc 2, keeping up the theme, features the moon on the left half of the disc, while there’s a shot of Maddie and David on the right half in purple. This disc holds episodes three through six. The third disc – holding episodes 7 through 10 - again features a moon on the left half, while the purple-hued photo on the right this time is a shot of Maddie. The fourth disc holds episodes 11-14 – the disc art being the same as disc three’s – except with David instead of Maddie. Episodes 15-19 are on the sixth disc, which features Agnes on the right half – though in a blue hue instead of the purple on 1-4. The final four shows are on the sixth disc, which has a face-shot of David and Maddie covering the entire moon, with only a white moon outline near the edges of the disc.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Menu Design and Navigation:

Menus are excellently done, and are a marvel to behold – Lions Gate should be very proud of their work on them. The start of the first disc is a bit different from the other five. The beginning starts out with a clip from the bar scene in episode 2 where Bruce Willis’ character says “Long time no see! Hey, you remember me, right!” The menu then leads into a series of animations before settling on the main menu. In the main menu, various clips from the episodes on the discs play inside the moon on the left side of the screen, while the menu options are on the right side. The long version of the slow-paced music that was used as the opening theme on the pilot episode, as well as background music in various scenes, plays in the background on a loop with the clips. Episode selection menus, after an animated transition from the main menu (the animations exist on menu-out regardless of which option chose) feature small images and episode titles inside the moon taking up the left half of the screen. Main Menu is selectable in the bottom right corner. The episode title serves as the menu options for most episodes. Episodes with commentary tracks appear slightly differently. The episode title is no longer selectable on those episodes…Play Episode, and Play Episode with Commentary by [x], [y] and [z] are the selectable options.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Video and Audio Quality:

Video looks awesome for a show from 1985. The episodes were Digitally Audio sounds awesome. Amazon.com lists a 5.1 audio track, but I can’t find it. Even with a 2.0 setup though, the audio still sounds great. The awesome Al Jarreau theme is loud and crystal clear – fairly evenly mixed across both the left and right channels. Sound effects and music rarely overshadow the vocals, and the few times it does it was intended to DO that. Overall, the set sounds and looks great – the picture is sharp without appearing over-corrected. There’s minimal grain considering the age of the set, and when it occurs, it’s generally unobtrusive. Chapter stops are well-placed at each fade-to-black.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Special Features:

Numerous special features can be found on the set. Here’s a brief run down of the other features:

Commentary tracks – there is commentary on 5 episodes. Virtually everyone associated with the first two seasons does commentary at some point. Pilot: Commentary by: Creator/Writer Glenn Caron, Director Robert Butler, Editor Artie Mandelberg, and Producer Jay Daniel. Glenn reveals he’d turned down pilots called “Hill Street Station” (later Hill Street Blues) and “St. Elsewhere”. They reveal that Bruce Willis – in his first fight scene – was making sound effects every time he threw a punch. They also say that every director the series ever had was made to watch the pilot before they could start directing any episodes so they could get an accurate feel for the template set in the pilot. The episode runs 1:33:07, and they manage to fill it all with commentary – including over the 2:30-long closing credits sequence.

The Dream Sequence Always Rings Twice: Commentary by: Director Peter Werner, Creator/Writer Glenn Caron, and co-writer Debra Frank. Right off the top of the episode you learn something very interesting – the top of the episode features an introductory by Orson Welles, filmed only a week before his death (there’s a tribute graphic at the very beginning of the episode) – they even mention that the FULL soundstage could tell that Orson didn’t have long left. Also, they mention that ABC wanted them to film the black and white sequences in the episode in color, and then they’d down-convert to B&W, but the production team was insistent that it be shot in B&W. They also bring up the show’s Emmy nomination-to-win ratio for that year (16 nominations, 1 win for “best editing”). Episode runs an amazing 49 minutes and 33 seconds.

My Fair David: Commentary by Director Will Mackenzie, and also by Bruce Willis. One thing brought up is that they made Will re-shoot the opening scene due to their dissatisfaction with the original. Most of the commentary track on this episode is just Will and Bruce watching the episode, so there’s quite a bit of silence from them. Episode runs 50:10.

Twas the Episode Before Christmas: Commentary by Director Peter Werner, Producer Jay Daniel, as well as Allyce Beasley. They reveal that this episode only had three days between the wrapping of taping and the debut of the episode. They also reveal that the start date of taping on the pilot was delayed four times since the network wouldn’t sign off on Bruce Willis as David – they talk more about this in the first featurette. They also mention that Cybill was often insistent – particularly early on, that she be shot from the right side…which leads to the anecdote about showing her pictures from her right and left side – and every time they handed her a shot from her left, she said it looked worse…they’d flipped the film, and every “left shot” was actually a shot from her right. Anecdotes like this fill the 41 minutes.

Every Father’s Daughter is a Virgin: Commentary by: Glenn Caron and Cybill Shepherd. Glenn admits right at the top of the episode he hasn’t seen this episode in years and wanted to watch it – though ultimately Glenn and Cybill manage to fill the episode nicely. Glenn mentions that, usually, he’d have a last minute quick-add one-take scene that would be done right before the episode HAD to go to post (for example, the scene with David and Maddie in the office at the start of the show in this one). Glenn talks about how on Moonlighting, and on Medium, the sound guy each time says that the sounds overlap – and each and every time he has to tell the sound guy how to make them overlap. Cybill also brings up that the ONLY scenes she didn’t have a pair on tennis shoes on were when her feet were show. Many things worked into the 44 minutes, including even more comments about the pilot (since an hour and a half just isn’t enough).

Also on the set are three featurettes. Each feature takes a look at a different part of Moonlighting. In the first two features, the cast and crew talk about the show’s development, its pickup, plus backstage info on the show.

*Not Just a Day Job – The Story of Moonlighting (Part 1)
*Inside the Blue Moon Detective Agency – The Story of Moonlighting (Part 2)
*The Moonlighting Phenomenon

In the first featurette (14:48), they reveal that Moonlighting was the third of a series of three pilot orders ABC had commissioned from Glenn Caron. For this pilot, ABC told them that they wanted “a boy/girl detective show” – to “do what you want with it, but that’s what we want.” Also, due to the pacing of the show, the scripts usually were double the length of the normal one-hour shows.

The second featurette, Inside the Blue Moon Detective Agency, is a continuation of the above. It starts off with the crew talking about how they had a problem with the network trying to cut their expenses – Glenn goes so far as to call the network concept of “you get [x] amount for a 1 hour show” asinine. Some productions ran so behind schedule that some episodes only made the wild feeds beamed to affiliates (the signals sent to each ABC station with that night’s programs) by 30 minutes. As a result, they mention that they got away with a lot of stuff, particularly in the east-coast airings, that wouldn’t have otherwise made it past. They also spotlight that Bruce and Cybill both had a problem with being able to “drive” during an in-car scene due to getting caught up in the scene. They also mention that Cybill slammed the doors so hard they had to be rebuilt after every season. They talk about The Dream Sequence Always Rings Twice again – this time adding that the network was concerned about running an episode largely in black & white in 1985. They also talked about matching the music in post to match Bruce’ finger movements. This featurette runs 15:34.

The final featurette runs 11 minutes, and is more of a segment about the fan’s and crew’s enjoyment of the show. This segment isn’t really good for any behind-the-scenes information, but is enjoyable if for no other reason than to see fans commenting on the show in a professional DVD release – something rarely scene. The cast and crew thoughts are also great to hear.

Finally, on disc 1, there are various promos for the Moonlighting promo premiere. Each one runs 0:10, 0:15 or 0:30, for a grand total of 2:15. Some release information lists a gag reel – it’s not included in the set. Also, some release information cites deleted scenes; however, there is no deleted scenes option in the menus.
