transciption: me: “lets watch a lord of the rings movie” friend: “which one?” me: “all of them at once, i suppose…”
Somewhat unrelated, but at one point, one of my friends watched all 5 of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies at once. They had multiple TVs and laptops arranged.
I never did figure out why.
There’s only one Lord of the Rings movie, and it’s approximately 12h long.
Me about to leave for work in ten minutes: Time for a ten minute marathon!
I once compiled LOTR into a single 11.5h saga. Lost it, but will definitely redo it with the proper files
That must have been an absolute monster of an MKV file.
Ah, I used MP4, and I used compressed sources so it became 55GB. I can imagine it’d be about 250GB with lossless…
I used MP4, and I used compressed sources
Ah, I see. What resolution?
I can imagine it’d be about 250GB with lossless
My rips of the 4k discs are around 80 GB each, putting the total around 450 GB if I were to combine them into one file :)
Sources were 4K extended (naturally) h265 10bit mkvs, at around 2.5GB/h. I’ve practically just started archiving movies and chose quantity over quality. I’ll come back when I’ve made a ‘purer’ version aha
If you wanted to do it, for reference I added the title screen sans subtitle (jpg screenshot) between each movie, fade in at the last scene and out at the title of the next with audio from the credits for 5-10 minutes as intermissions, then combined each movie credit sequence at the end :P
it’ll take you all day to watch the extended versions of the Hobbit and original trilogy, but I can’t imagine a better use of a day.
I can. Just watching the extended edition of Lord of the Rings.
I haven’t watched the movies in quite some time now and this made me wonder, because I don’t remember it was edited, if there are many long scenes that are supposed to take place simultaneously.
I was thinking if it would be possible to make an edit tracking what everyone is doing after each split to play them all simultaneously in multiple screens whenever is possible.
