Very cool...but I still plan on using my "buy the rifftrax then download the already synced file from thepiratebay" method.
 
2011-12-05 01:11:01 PM
I believe the solution is called "Bittorrent", Subby.

I just use some basic video editing software to sync the Riff audio track then burn the whole thing to DVD.

Is this a new release? I tried their player a while back and, unfortunately, it doesn't play well with TV's HDMI in. I get sound, but no video.

If this is a new version, I'll give it another try.

I love Rifftrax, and I don't usually have syncing issues. However, my one gripe is that there is no (easy) way to normalize the audio when the Riffer's are speaking, The volume for the Rifftrax can be perfect for a dialogue portion of the film, but when the action starts or the soundtrack of the film escalates, you can't hear the Riff lines. If the new player does something to remedy this, then I am become fan.
 
2011-12-05 03:35:11 PM
I just fire up Premiere and synch it myself, but good to have something like that available.
 
2011-12-05 03:35:13 PM
I've downloaded about five or six of them. The first Harry Potter movie Rifftrax was one of the funniest things I've heard in my life. The others were pretty good, as well.

If it would work with netflix I'd try it in a heartbeat.
 
2011-12-05 03:37:53 PM
I really hope this works out better than the other one (the old one was alpha I believe), I can't wait!

It's great for the "I'm lazy and I don't have time to use video editing software".

I hate syncing sooooo much.

It seems like this will be good if you actually have the DVDs. For those of us who use files (usually ripped from my Blu Ray discs), RiffSync on the Mac app store is the way to go for now. Hopefully Rifftrax continues to update the player and adds file/blu ray support.

Some 'Splainin' To Do: Is this a new release? I tried their player a while back and, unfortunately, it doesn't play well with TV's HDMI in. I get sound, but no video.

Might be a problem with your graphics driver. HDCP is a biatch to setup.

Easiest solution would be to buy a program called AnyDVD HD, which strips copy protection on the fly. (It's only for Windows so far.)

Just did Transformers 3 on Saturday.

what a bad bad bad bad bad movie. Great riffs but even they were dying by the end. Never thought an hour long action scene could bore me so much.

I prefer my method of "hang out with the syncers on IRC and grab the muxed x264, but also donate to support them".

Smiths: I prefer my method of "hang out with the syncers on IRC and grab the muxed x264, but also donate to support them".

See the Boobies here.

Buy the file and then get the synced combination elsewhere.

I do love MST3K the Movie. Even if it was, technically, shorter than an episode.

I've bought 35 Rifftrax and not downloaded one from the site thanks to the Bittorrent technique (own all the movies too, just letting the Internets do the work for me).

I've always been a huge fan of MST3K, but I've never gotten around to listening to RiffTrax. I think I tried once a long time ago, but I didn't feel like going to the effort of syncing the audio. I like the idea noted above - buying a track, and then downloading the synced torrent. I see a mention of Harry Potter above; any other recommendations for outstanding tracks to try out? I'm sure the Transformers 3 one would be hilarious but good god that movie is like 7 horrible hours long and I don't think I could stand sitting through it.

Also...Birdemic is an actual thing? I had to IMDB it to see what it was. It's like a real movie. That someone paid to make. With money.
 
2011-12-05 04:10:46 PM
I thought they did this when rifftrax first started. Am I crazy?
 
2011-12-05 04:10:55 PM
Birdemic for sure, it's the Manos of the set. Also fond of the Inception and Iron Man ones as well as the LotR series. The Star Trek ones are good for hearing them mimic Shatner.

Even with the Rifftrax I couldnt stand sitting through the movie.

Also hasn't the player been around for a few years? I remember using it on a couple of rifftrax a few years ago.

jty: I'm sure the Transformers 3 one would be hilarious but good god that movie is like 7 horrible hours long and I don't think I could stand sitting through it.

Star Trek 2009 is watchable several times without being painful because the movie is good.
Ditto with Iron Man.

TF1 was the "easiest" to rewatch, but was still hard. TF2 I did twice and making it through the second time was a pain in the ass. Maybe during a drunk hockey playoff lull I'll do TF3 again, but that's a stretch.

Harry Potters get harder as they go on because of the length. But they're good. #3 was not a bad movie in the first place, so I've done that riff a few times.

I've done every Twilight as well. Figure if Mike and the Bots (yes, they're still the bots) have to suffer through it, I'll join them. Worth at least one watchthrough

side note: oooh Thriller just came on the streaming station I'm listening to at work. nice.

Star Trek Wratch of Khan and ST6 were fun and good for at least 2 watchings.

Worth doing the entire Star Wars series (including prequels). Of all of them I did Episode 3 the most (because it had the most HAMMMMMMMMMMMM)

They have so many clever jokes and references in MST3K the movie, but I still laugh the hardest when they name the number of parts in the interocitor and each time the guy takes a step they make a crunch sound and say a lower number. In fact I am holding back laughter thinking about it. God bless them for keeping it going via rifftrax.

From the link:

And you can even adjust the audio levels of both the movie and the Rifftrax!

Normalize the film's audio instead, since that is the one with the extreme differences in volume. Rip the audio using Premiere, normalize the MP3, then replace the original audio track with the normalized one. You can also make a second track for the Rifftrax, like someone else mentioned.
 
2011-12-05 05:27:50 PM
The problem with the torrent versions is that they usually have the movie volume way too low so you have to turn it up way too loud to hear anything but the commentary. On the original show they would use voiceover fades and it sounds sooooo much better. So I had taken to remuxing the sound myself in Sound Forge. Works a treat.

You can buy Rifftrax-on-Demand videos, which have the riffs embedded into the video itself. They're usually either shorts or older videos like Plan 9 and Reefer Madness.
