Zaphod's Disc Archive.txt
Hello, Folks :)
As you may or may not have heard, I have decided to finally and completely retire from this scene and 'community,' turning off the lights on my little Blog, shutting down my email accounts, and fading back into the mists from whence I came.
As part of this retirement, I've also decided to sell off my 1000+ DVD collection, and am currently in negotiations with several folks to find good homes for all my 'babies.'
Not wanting to totally lose touch with all these discs that I've collected over a 13-year period, I have decided to upload them all here to Usenet so they'll have some sort of extended 'shelf life' should I wish to revisit them in the future.
This venture will yield a twofold outcome: 1) I'll have an archive of my discs for at least five years or more, given the current retention rate of Usenet, and 2) everyone here will also be able to share in the bounty!
The header format that I've chosen is intended to obfuscate the film's title by using the IMDb number, with some added characters. I think others have used a similar format before, so it should be familiar to most.
It will contain a "Z" for "Zaphod" followed by the IBDb number, followed by either an "N" for NTSC disc, or a "P" for PAL disc, and either a "5" for a DVD5, or a "9" for a DVD9.
Thus, "...First Do No Harm" (1997-TV) PAL DVD5 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118526/ would look like
Z0118526P5
An NFO file will be included with each release, which will contain all the specifics for the disc; IMDb URL, Synopsis and Tech Specs, and any comments or addendum I feel so inclined to add :-P
I am also thinking of posting a 'Master List' of all the discs, just so you'll be able to more easily find any particular DVD you might be looking for. This could be done with each new disc posting, or periodically (weekly or monthly).
Okay, that's all I wanted to say.
Hope everyone will enjoy the discs :)
