wm cheng Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Hi all, I know of the distain for dubbed versions of Macross - however, I still like this particular version - its complete (unedited) and it was a good quality transfer. The dubbed voices were only "semi" irritating - but it allows me to fully enjoy the picture, instead of trying to read whats going on. I rented this disc many years ago and video taped it. Does anyone have this particular LD anymore? How much does it fetch - if I could buy one? What I would love is a rip of this LD to DVD - does anyone have a digital file of this version? Any info on this particular disc would help. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doryu2025 Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Since I have both the R2 DVD and the UK tape called "Clash Of The Bionoids" (although it is the complete unedited English version of the film), I was recently able to burn a DVD+RW using the R2 DVD picture and the sound from the tape. I think it worked out pretty well, if I do say so myself! Using the R2 picture as a source does mean however, that my homemade version differs from the original English-language print in a couple of ways: 1. The English version has a different credit at the opening & English translated credits at the end (although since all versions of the film now end with the concert footage from Flashback 2012, this is a moot point) 2. All the Zentradi-speaking scenes originally had subtitles on the Japanese release. Since everyone spoke in English on the English-language release, these subtitles were actually removed from the prints. My original plan was to try and include both English and Japanese soundtracks, along with subtitles, but I gave up on that pretty quickly!

LePoseur Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 (edited) Actually, I do have that LD, and plan to one day get around to ripping the audio for an ultimate DYRL DVD set... but that being said, it's not at the front of my project list, nor is it anything I'll tackle before we see if Bandai is going to give us a better R2 version than the craptastic one I have now. BTW I got mine off Yahoo auctions about a year ago for 1,500 yen (including shipping) Edited May 27, 2004 by LePoseur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wm cheng Posted May 27, 2004 Author Share Posted May 27, 2004 Wow, is there anyway I can get a copy of that from you Doryu2025? I'd gladly pay. Omigod LePoseur... what a deal!! Was that the Japanese Yahoo auctions or the north american one? Any other deals like that around? or willing to part with yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noriko Takaya Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 I have it! I have it! Totally awful dub, if you ask me. But then again, who cares? It's in stereo and it's totally uncut! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurin Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 Are the voice actors for the dub the same as in Clash of the Bionoids? H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent ONE Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 I have the un-edited tape. Its called Macross The Movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Leader Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 I've got the same one as A1.... It's definately different. The voices aren't so bad.. I think they fit the characters pretty well for the most part... it's the dialogue they've been given to speak that's so wretched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkullLeaderVF-X Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 I have the un-edited tape. Its called Macross The Movie. Same here. The voices are o.kay I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noriko Takaya Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 Are the voice actors for the dub the same as in Clash of the Bionoids?H Yes, they are the same. It's the same movie, basically with a new title and tons of crap edited out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbine Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I have that LD and it's mono :-( but it was one of the first non TV dubs I saw so I forgave the voice acting and was just happy it was dubbed. I did copy it to DVD, the quality is OK, but my DVD player wont read mp3 (Pioneer DVL-909) so I had to save the audio as PCM and the expense of the mpeg bit rate.
