Hi everybody

I downloaded firefly a few weeks ago and fell in love with it, so now I wanna buy it, but I#m not sure where to get it.

I definately want to get it in english and spanish. And I'd prefer it if it was playable on my DVD player which is region code:2 I think (I live in germany). So I thought maybe ordering it from spain will do it.
If there are different versions of it I want the one with the most special features.

I also thought about downloading it, but then I've heard that they have some stupid copyright protection that lets you copy these files only 3 times (another proof that the film and music industry consist exclusively of morons).
and then I don't now if you can download it with subtitles and with a spanish audio track.

And last question: If I get the DVD how can I rip it into dvix or xvid or anything like that with subtitles and diffrent audio tracks? Cuz original DVDs are just horrible unhandy, slow and just inferior to ripped files in every way.

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

You've totally got me there! Spain should do it... probably. Ripping I'm not so good with. I'm going to suggest, though, that you post this question in General Discussion as there tends to be more traffic over there.
Welcome home! Nice to have you here!

Well maybe a friendly mod could move it there?

I wanted to post here for a while now, but everytime I sit infront of the PC I just get horribly lazy :)

And the first 3 or 4 days after I watched the last episode of Firefly I was feeling to melancholic to post anything.

Ahh, that feeling we all get... every single one of us. It even attacks again from time to time and takes the wind out of our sails for awhile.
That's when I come here and read and post and stay right here at "home". Then soon I'm feeling right again.

Welcome home TomOnKelCannabia for that is where you are at. This is a shiny site full of very nice people.... eh.. and a couple of trolls from time to time, but mostly they stay away.

All new folks get their very own browncoat.. and usually some food and drink too.. that follows along behind the 'coat.

*hands TomOnKelCannabia a browncoat that fits just right*

Make yourself to home. We'll be close by.

Well, thanks for the warm welcome... and the browncoat of course :). My realname is Tom and my nick is Onkel Cannabia. Since no special chars, space or basically anything besides letters are aloud in the nick

I had to write it like that.

Anyway, would be nice if someone could actually answer my question about ripping it. I might watch it on TV every now and then but I really prefer the ripped versions, cuz you can always watch the scenes you want to and acces every part of the series in a swift of a second with out beeing lectured about

copyrights.

Oh and about that food and drink you were going to hand me: I like good german beer, pina colada, exotic food and sea food

Well, I dunno about the ripping stuff, but maybe if this subject stays on top long enough, you'll get an answer. We mostly encourage folks around here to buy the series on DVD and the BDM too, as it's money in Universal's pockets and since we'd like to have more, we figure every little bit helps.

Seafood eh? We don't have much occasion to see seafood out here in the black.. but we'll see what FloralBunny and some of the other nice folks come up with.

Hmmm, Jossisagod used to make the best coffee...

*wanders off in search of Jossisagod and his coffeemaker*

See you around the board, Tom!

Well I do wanna buy the original, I just wanna rip it from the DVD. I could probably find a way to rip it myself, but first of all it takes for ever and the progs are usually unreliable. And I want to rip it with multiple subtitles and audio tracks (english,spanish and maybe french or german if available).

Oh, and I'm actually one of those weirdos who don't like coffee

You don't like coffee?!

How about tea? or Mudder's Milk? or some folks offer whiskey to new folks, if you're of age.

Believe me, when they come along, they'll have various and sundry items for you to eat and drink!

Good luck with the ripping thing.

Well I guess I'll just keep posting nonsense - actually right now its more like chatting - until some1 posts an answer to my question.

Whiskey would be cool. I'm 22 but in germany you can drink with 16 anyway

Can't wait for the Summer vacations. I just love the sun and nature and skating and sleeping till 3pm :)

Actually, our nonsensical chatting keeps your post on the top where it might be seen by someone who actually knows the answer to your question.

*hands Tom a small glass of whiskey...neat*

There you are!

Cheers!

Wow that was quite a fast answer. And that's why I said I'll keep posting (to keep it on top).

I stayed up till 5-6am this weekend cuz I've been partying with some friends I haven't seen for a while and today I had to get up at 6am, so I'm too tired for anything but chatting and playing.

Gotta love the coffee... personally I prefer iced coffee, hot coffee makes me feel sick.
But anyway, on the the subject of how to get Firefly in Europe... it is available on iTunes, although it's not free ($1.99 per episode, $25.99 for the season). And iTunes is available in Germany, although I don't think they have Firefly in Spanish.

I don't know about finding a region 2 english/spanish copy, but it is possible to rip a dvd with subtitles. A quick search on Google for "rip dvd subtitles" will bring up a number of sites with instructions, ( http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=rip+dvd+subtitles&meta=&btnG=Googl

Only question being what kind of system you're running.

I believe Amazon.com is still stocking Firefly: The Complete Series, that's where I got mine. Like PheonixRose, I'm no good with the ripping of them, hence my reason for buying the box set.
