Kinji FukasakuVirus (復活の日, Fukkatsu no hi) (1980)

NOTE: THIS FILM IS SEPARATED INTO 7 FILES.

Virus (復活の日, Fukkatsu no hi) is an 1980 film directed by Kinji Fukasaku. The film is in public domain, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virus_%281980_film%29. Most of the film is in English but for the Japanese scenes, subtitles are present on subtitle 'Track1' (VLC), not burned in, note: you have to turn subtitles on, they are not defaulted. All files were ripped directly and not reformatted, '.vob' extensions merely changed to '.mpg', otherwise files are as they appear on disc. Files not included from the DVD are copyrighted menus and distributor intro logos. DVD ripped from is BCI Cat.No. 47207-9-1, region 1.

Another version is uploaded on archive.org, http://www.archive.org/details/cco_virus, it is pan and scanned, whereas this version is widescreen, and slightly windowboxed. It also appears to be a different edit.

Subject: Missing older reviews
I came back to this post after a long time, and was surprised that several older reviews are missing, including the late Campfire's (he passed away around Christmas of 2008) info with the necessary files for reconstructing the DVD format. Here then is a repost of my own comment and Campfire's with his info/link (Additional Note: these files can be reprocessed through ConvertXtoDVD to make a "new" disc and retain the subtitles which are already existent within these MPG files).

Subject: The Original 156:00 Japanese Version!

Finally I'll get to see this underrated classic..."appears to be a different edit" is quite correct, because this version is the original full-length Japanese release of the film. It looks perfect, appears to have the original stereo soundtrack, and the video files for download (at least the MPEG2 versions I downloaded) are in anamorphic widescreen.

I'd question the accuracy of the download files, however...the uploader states these are the VOB files ripped directly from DVD without conversion, and that the file extensions should simply be changed back to VOB (which are pretty much DVD-related files and somewhat useless without the other required DVD files used with them such as the IFO files, etc.), but changing the extensions didn't quite work for me. The only program which would play them as VOB was WinDVD, and I don't believe there are any English subtitles for the Japanese scenes, because WinDVD wouldn't allow me to select any such subtitles...they simply weren't there. Depending on what program was used to extract the VOB files, if the subtitles were not selected (aka subtitle streams), they wouldn't have been included with the VOB files.

There are also several different formats available for downloading...if there was "no reformatting" done, does this mean the system here automatically converts when uploading? If so, that could also explain why no subtitles were present. What DID work was keeping the MPEG files extensions just as they are when downloading here, and loading them into a DVD-making program. They played just fine like that, and if one does that when downloading, you should also set whatever program you use for a 16x9 widescreen setting to keep the correct anamorphic image when burning to disc.

Either way, stick with this, the original uncut full-length version and avoid the panned-and-scanned 108 minute length other version that can be downloaded here on the site. This one is much, much better.~~~

Subject: Creating DVD

This is an excellent copy of a fascinating movie, but several reviewers have commented on having difficulty creating a DVD from the MPG files. I have reconstituted the necessary IFO files which are needed to do this. With them, you can make a DVD complete with 16:9 formatting, chapter stops and subtitles. I have posted the ZIP file containing these and instructions on building a DVD at the following URL: http://www.hunkvideoonline.com/virus/ for free downloading by anyone wishing to save this entertaining film. I'm glad to be able to help the "cause".~~~

Subject: Rating and Dvd Sub Fix
A cool movie - its a more cross-cultural disaster movie than I've seen before.

If you download the files provided and hosted by campfire (below) but the subs appear green and fuzzy after you burn the dvd, follow these instructions. Other instructions I've followed didn't work, but these modified instructions do.

Follow campfire's instructions to rename files, etc.
Download and open DVDSubEdit (free)
'File' > 'Open Full Domain' select VTS_01_1.VOB.
Click on p (this is the text outline) and select black from the colour table.
Click on e1 (this is the body of the text) and select white from the colour table.
It's possible that the colour table will show all sixteen colours the same shade of green.
In this case,while it's popped up, place the cursor on one of the squares, hold down the 'Shift' key and click the mouse - a new selection appears .
Select the colour you want the square to be (select black).
Do the same for e1 (select white).
Click 'Edit > Apply last modifications to all'
Select the 'color' option
Click 'Do it!'
When you save the changes, they are made immediately (no undo).
'File' > 'Save all Modifications'

These instructions are altered from the original posted by attar and found here: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/764015

Thanks to attar for instructions and campfire for the originals!

If I can find a good place to host updated subs I will. Enjoy!
