A.P.E.X. (1994) ... anyone want this DVD ripped?

Postby Gem]n[ on Tue May 30, 2006 11:53 am

A.P.E.X. (1994)

Image

IMDB:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109144/

PLOT:
Advanced Prototype EXploration unit

A time-travel experiment in which a robot probe is sent from the year 2073 to the year 1973 goes terribly wrong thrusting one of the project scientists, a man named Nicholas Sinclair into a plague ravaged alternate time-line whose war weary inhabitants are locked in a constant battle with killer robots which are automatically being sent there from Sinclair's lab. To escape this situation, Sinclair must find a similar time machine in this alternate world and prevent the disaster from ever happening.

USER COMMENTS:
An interesting premise, where scientists send time-traveling robots to do research with the caveat that they must not leave any traces of their presence in the past, including witnesses. An accident involving the elimination of said witnesses causes a paradox where one of the scientists in charge of the time-travel experiment finds himself in a parallel post-apocalyptic world where soldiers constantly battle a seemingly never-ending supply of time-traveling robots. The low budget shows and the tactics employed to eliminate the robots (gunfire at close quarters for the most part) seem silly, but the movie's an entertaining weekend time-filler.

I like this movie ... the acting isn't that bad for a low budget classic ...

I noticed A.P.E.X. isn't listed here in Sci-Fi DD ... I grabbed myself a copy at the weekend from a local 'charity shop' and wondered if anyone wanted a rip of this DVD ... it's full screen ... english only ...

If so how big you want it - using the new Advanced Filesize Regulation (AFR):

0746 MB file which is 1/6 DVD-R sized or 1493 MB file which is 1/3 DVD-R sized?


cheers,

Gem

note the capacity of DVD-r is 4488 and the capacity of 4482. Therefore 1494 is the absolute maximum you should ever rip at. Ideally, 1490mb with 4mb for subs or whatever. Your cutting it fine with 1493mb, if you have vobsubs for example.

If it's wrong then they need to know.

Well as mentioned, Vob subs take up several mb, it should be 1490mb if you intend to release them. 1493mb, especially with the risk of oversizing + vobsubs is going to push you over 1494.

The fileheaven post there has the about symbol (~) there for a reason

Points taken Spud ... I shall do a couple of dummy runs before releasing it ... unfortunately there are no Subs included in the original DVD ...
