Re: VHS Transfers & Quality [moved from the Van Halen Largo thread]
this thread was meant to be about technical information -- not personal bs...anything personal posted by others seems to be the bed sabkiss/Deuce made for himself over the years at various other sites...kinda like the bed you made for yerself here
i mean no disrespect, but all these "hundreds of masters" are hearsay at best...coming from someone who's uploaded 1 show in 2 yrs [and not even bothered to seed back what ya took, whether via torrent or offering B&Ps/vines/etc], and another who's u/led 6 shows in 4 yrs -- it comes off a bit like smoke n mirrors...not sayin it ain't true, just that it appears to the rest of us to be "bullshit posturing" as they say... most tapers don't sit around posting about all the masters/upgrades we're sittin on...when i get around to it, i'll transfer and upload...simple as that but i ain't gotta keep tellin everyone about em, like its some ransom...the balls in yer court -- share yer tapes or don't...doesn't really matter in the scope of life one way or the other...but posting up w/o showing up is a bit, well, sad & pathetic again, no disrespect...just an observation No members have liked this post.

1. My upgrades are of importance and significance in the trading community. People enjoy and love them because people like myself search out for this stuff. 2. I do a great job 3. Im someone who has achieved a lot by working hard and putting a lot of effort into finding low gen upgrades and producing them, therefore I am one of the greats in the entire trading and collecting community.

You also claim to work in the entertainment industry which I dont buy for a second and ill explain why. Results. Again, I go by results and you have provided zero. Twenty years in trading and you work in the entertainment industry and you have ZERO results to show for it. You should have some fantastic stuff that you have acquired from your sources within the entertainment industry, where are they? Until you provide that material, nothing you have to say is something id respect or take seriously and will be treated as me sweeping crumbs on the floor. No members have liked this post.

If someone has a problem with anything ive said at any time, its their problem and I couldnt care less if they have a problem with it. But I agree with you they should keep their personal issues out of this thread. Or better yet just buy a punching bag. No members have liked this post.

Re: VHS Transfers & Quality [moved from the Van Halen Largo thread]
It's all about sharing.
Trouble starts when someone makes incessant demands on the entire trading community, that everyone must go out & find rare or uncirculated material, as if it were some competition to prove you're worthy or something. Most people have real lives & this is just a hobby. Some find rare shows, some record shows, some download & never trade. Others share via snail mail & never ask for anything in return. By placing unrealistic demands on others, you end up driving away people. Personally, if I'm going to send tapes to someone to transfer, they sure as heck better be someone who's likeable & not difficult to get along with, regardless of how talented they are (or think they are). I think the post by boxedart sums it up nicely. No members have liked this post.

Re: VHS Transfers & Quality [moved from the Van Halen Largo thread]
You just read someone who is a friend of mine and who I deal with regularly who says im easy to get along with, you've never dealt with me so you dont know what you are talking about and you certainly cant suggest that im difficult to deal with until you have dealt with me personally. Its not an incessant or unrealistic demand against the entire community, it was directed at lazy and brainless leechers (like your pals) who provide nothing and demand, demand, demand with the gimme, gimme, gimme attitude that they want something rare or uncirculated but arent willing to put in the hard work for it. Sorry, but real life is no excuse, anybody could have a real life and still seek this stuff out. The idea or notion that you have to devout your entire day and life to produce results is absurd and not true at all.

Exactly! I don't have a need to brag about what I have because, frankly, I have paid work I do that comes before my hobby. The other issue is much of the material I have I have not released for a reason, it's called my job and I like what I do so I tend to not want to jepordize it. The Avril DVD that I authored at least one person feels anyone could have done "while sitting on the toilet", and that is a pretty wild comment coming from someone who has argued they don't do anything but make a new dub from an old source to a stand alone DVD recorder and send that DVD out to be "authored". And I will take a moment to comment on one other comment: Quote:

Narcissistic Personality Disorder SYMPTOMS: the essential feature of Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a pervasive pattern of grandiosity (either in fantasy or actual behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy that begins by early adulthood and is present in a variety of situations and environments. In order for a person to be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) they must meet five or more of the following symptoms: * Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements) * Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love * Believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions) * Requires excessive admiration * Has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations * Is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends * Lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others * Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her * Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes.

2. a monkey could transfer a VHS tape...yer pressing play on a deck and record on a standalone DVD recorder fer fucks sake! as you've admitted before, you know or do nothing in regards to color balance & correction, cleaning up the picture or audio, or any sort of post-production whatsoever -- so i wouldn't be callin anyone else a monkey 3. only someone who doesn't work in the industry would say "Don't give me that your job will be in jeopardy garbage." if its something thats work related, yes it would...i've got some amazing footage that a lot of folks would love, that if it got leaked it'd come strainght back to me and aside from losing any possible future business, would most likely face a lawsuit...would you risk your livelihood, your house, your family and kids, your business just so a handful of people could watch some live concert recording? 4. like you said, put up or shut up...all this talk of how great yer work is and the hundreds of masters and upgrades you have and all the bullshit posturing -- 6 shows u/led in 4 yrs go fuckin tape a show, u/l 1 VHS transfer a week, whatever but heed yer own advice...PUT UP OR SHUT UP! otherwise go to some other site where people are stupid enough to buy into yer deluded, nonsensical drivel No members have liked this post.

Total bullshit. Dont come on to a trading forum/torrent site and announce you have years in the entertainment industry then if you have nothing to show for it. Excuses excuses excuses. Quote:
You also refuse to accept that my friend or myself has access to hundreds of masters. Bottom line, if there wasnt a discussion about this, id have more time to upload stuff if I didnt have to respond to garbage like this. You can believe what you want, but all that matters is results and I provide them and will continue to regardless of anybodys opinion. No members have liked this post.

I would also dispute the "all the time" part -- I wish it did happen that way! And I also think "just a hobby" is often used as a cop-out, an excuse for bad work. If this is a hobby, spend a few bucks on it. A couple hundred bucks on a hobby is very typical. If you're too cheap or too lazy, then you get the flack you deserve. It's really that easy. ... In the end, the arguments are always between two type of fans:
I've seen this for 15+ years now. It's nothing new.
