War Of The Worlds - Original

Actors: Gene Barry, Ann Robinson, Les Tremayne, Robert Cornthwaite, Sandro Giglio Directors: Byron Haskin Format: Closed-captioned, Color, Dolby, DVD-Video, NTSC Language: English, French Region: Region 1 (U.S. and Canada only. Read more about DVD formats.) Aspect Ratio: 1.33:1 Number of discs: 1 Rating: Studio: Paramount DVD Release Date: April 20, 1999 Run Time: 85 minutes Based on H.G. Wells' classic novel, George Pal's The War Of The Worlds is a classic in its own right. The movie transfers the story from England and the turn of the century to California and the 1950's. Some people see the paranoia of the '50s in the movie but the novel also had a strong theme of fear of things beyond our ken. Pal often included a religious theme in his movies and this film would have been better without it, but it does not detract from the movie enough to keep it from being a classic. The story is that of an invasion of Earth by coldly intelligent Martians. Told in clear, bold strokes with exceptional special effects (for the time) and fine performances by the two leads, Gene Barry and Ann Robinson, The War Of The Worlds should be in every collection of science fiction movies. The DVD transfer is excellent. The picture is sharp and clear. The color is strong and rich, as Technicolor should be. Like most people, I had only seen this movie on television and it never looked as good as it does on DVD. The picture resolution is so good that you can easily see the wires supporting the Martian war machines. The sound does not measure up to the standard of the video. It is mono and there are cracks and pops on the sound track during the early part of the movie, though I didn't notice them as much in the later scenes (but that may simply be because I was caught up in the excitement of the story). The disk provides only a trailer as supplemental material (I don't consider scene selection to be a special feature, it should be standard on any DVD). The disk is formatted in TV standard but that is not significantly different from the movie's original ratio, since it was not shot in what we now call widescreen.

How am I supposed to use the two files
VideoCD.bin 751 and VideoCD.cue ?
:-?

dvdxrated (2008-03-09)

same as the first question nothing seams to work with them?

funyfarmbob (2008-03-13)

the first line in the cue file needs to point to the bin file , then it can be used by nero to write the file,,
The default path is incorrect???

mount with daemon tools idiot!

I've tried it with Daemon, Magic Iso and different movie players and cannot get it to work.
Say... I don't need a PC Consultant to get it running, do I?

Waltorhomington (2008-04-15)

OK, here's what u do.
Go to My Computer. Open C: (normally) and go to... program files/magic iso.
Unpack the main file using Iso.
Try all your programs to make sure it doesn't work, but then use Quicktime Player to open War of the Worlds (u should have extracted it here) /MPEGAV/AVSEQ01.
