Subject: What?
This is seriously lame. Is just isn't funny. I used to laugh at these two as a kid so haven't watched one of their films for at least 20 years. I wanted to like it but it's rubbish. Imagine going to a really awful pantomime with the kids in the school holidays and having to put up with cheesey jokes you can see coming a mile off for what seems like forever. That's what it's like watching this film. Don't.

Subject: Converting to DVD
A reviewer below wanted to convert this mp4 file to a DVD. This batch file works for me; I tested it with "Detour" which was downloaded from this site. You'll need ffmpeg and dvdAuthor.


@echo off

if "%~1"=="" (
echo Usage: mp4-to-dvd MOVIE_FILE OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
goto end )

if "%~2"=="" ( echo Need name for ouput directory.
goto end )

set dvd_aspect=4:3
if not "%3"=="" set dvd_aspect=%3


echo Aspect ratio being used is %dvd_aspect%.
if %dvd_aspect%==4:3 (
echo You may give 16:9 as the 3rd argument on the command line.
)


ffmpeg -i %1 -target ntsc-dvd -aspect %dvd_aspect% "%~n1.mpg"
if errorlevel 1 goto end

dvdauthor -o "%~2/" -t "%~n1.mpg"
if errorlevel 1 goto end

dvdauthor -o "%~2/" -T


echo Your DVD structure is in the directory "%~2".

Subject: a very funny film
Fast-paced Bud & Lou vehicle featuring appearances by Shemp Howard, Joe Besser, animal "tamer" Clyde Beatty and others.

'Fraidy-cat Lou passes himself off as a big game hunter in order to (what else?) win the heart of a gorgeous dame. She, of course, has her own villainous plans...involving a map, a trip to darkest Africa, and the disposal of our hapless heroes.

I already have a copy of this movie, so I can't comment on the professed download problems. But if you can get it to work properly, you're in for a real treat.
