My Custom Missing Doctor Who DVD Collection

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

These DVDs are shelf fillers for the ones that have yet to be animated. I'm usually aware of future animation projects shortly after they are announced and I will have already pre ordered them, so please don't bother shilling them in this comment section. Cheers. This is my full collection for the time being consisting of official releases (with the recons filling in the gaps) kzbin.info/www/bejne/paKzm4eYbripr80

finding those missing episodes could takes months or years, in the year December 2012 news to the public that people wanted to find more Doctor who 1960s of William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton adventures, some were in animation even founded years later until COVID 19 pandemic breaks out last year, causing delays

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

Yes I know it is, so I might as well fill in the gaps in the mean time. If more get recovered or do get animated I will replace them.

[@DoctorWhoAdventures]

Awesome collection!! Love the casing and DVD art :D

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

The cases came from Amazon and this is where I got the artwork from christophersdrwhodvdcovers.webs.com/

[@DoctorWhoAdventures]

@@DVDandFilmBloke Aw thank you for sharing! They're awesome :D

[@dragonbugz6715]

@@DVDandFilmBloke This might sound like a stupid question, but can I use normal paper for the dvd art casing or do I need a different type?

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

​@@dragonbugz6715 Yeah sure, I used normal printer paper, depending on the printer it might result in some faint lines and they won't look as good as the real ones but once there on the shelf you can barely tell the difference.

@@DVDandFilmBloke alright, thank you

[@FishDS9]

I enjoyed the video and appreciated hearing your insights into making them.

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

Cheers

[@Timmymantwo]

If you're in the UK mate go to CEX and grab some of the £1 DVDs that have the grey cases. I did that a fair bit with my copies

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

I already got a load off Ebay like 2 years ago.

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

I can't say I blame you.

[@Wizardaron]

Imagine someone buying the Marco Polo serial on DVD, only to find that all they can watch is some surviving telesnaps.

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

I think if they did release Marco Polo on DVD, either animated or with telesnaps, I think most people who'd buy it probably already know what there going in for.

[@karlt134]

Love the Granada intro there!

[@moviesmurf502]

this is really cool. are you able to do a video showing the menus and how you designed the menus? thanks!!

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

Cheers, I don't think I will do a video on how the menus were made (mainly because there was so much I had to do) but I used a piece of freeware called DVDStyler which is quite easy to get the hang of.

[@wolf-war-master]

This is quite amazing, How did you flash the video file to the disc to be playable?

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

I used DVD Styler to author the disc into an ISO file and you can burn that ISO directly onto a blank DVD R in Windows.

[@TheChibiCrew]

Hey, just looking for advice as i am hoping to make some of these myself, what paper do you print the sleeves on, how did you make the disc labels? And also, how did you make the main menus?

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

The menus take some time but I used DVDStyler to author them. The paper for the sleeves if just regular printer paper and you can buy DVD label stickers online.

[@timeofthewhoviansunited1504]

Excellent video 😊👍🏻

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

Cheers

[@jakefessi8045]

Have you got or can you get my copies of 'Dimensions in Time' and 'The Curse of Fatal Death?' I'd love to have them in my collection as I'm a really big fan & would like the custom ones at least

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

I don't think I can send you copies but there both on KZbin.

[@davidbutler7897]

Have you made a custom dvd cover for the Peter cushing Dalek movies ?

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

No I haven't

[@davidbutler7897]

@DVDandFilmBloke ah okay fair enough I'm surprised that it hasn't been released with the same cover as the main range of classic who dvds because they've released scream of the shalka on dvd so hopefully they release the cushing movies and the curse of fatal death on dvd in a boxset called the non cannon set or something and dimensions in time so it's a 3 dvd box set

[@Timelord-gn5rh]

Hello, like your video. How do you print the color dvd disk art that matches the dvd case art?

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

Cheers, also I explain in the video.

[@ryandavies3536]

Just wondering how you print the covers off in the right size and good resolution? Cheers

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

I do it the cheap and probably worst way. I use MS Word, hold a piece of A4 paper against the screen and zoom the page on Word in or out in order to match the size of the paper (at least the horizontal size). Once they match, import the sleeve art (which is available online for free), then get a regular DVD sleeve and hold that against the screen and resize the art to match the size of the sleeve, then it should be the right size. If the closest you can match the zoom to the paper is a little too small, resize the art to make it smaller to match and vice versa. Once you have the right size you can save the word document and use that as a template. It's very clunky and there are probably better methods (and size templates online) but it works for me.

[@tacolizardsentertainment6640]

Nice collection

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

Cheers. These ones are to slot in with the existing stories (which I still need to finish collecting).

[@elizabeththomas2351]

But the curse of fatal death is very good

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

Yes it is, I'm surprised they didn't put it out on DVD (even as a bonus feature) given it came out on VHS.

[@ryanstephenkristoferkearns1319]

How did you do the leaflet to Dimensions In Time?

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

It was from Christopher Loftus (at Christopher's Dr Who DVD Covers) who also made the covers, it was the only leaflet he made and is available for download. There's nothing printed on the inside by the way.

No, the sleeves are already available online for free.

[@alex17_edits]

where did you buy them from

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

@@alex17_edits I didn't buy them, I made them. I talk about it in the video.

[@IsaacSigmar]

what software did you use to rip the files off the dvds?

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

MakeMKV

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

And the reconstructions came from Dailymotion from the Loose Cannon page, (although some came from different sources due to some not being on the Loose Cannon page) and I just use a video downloader, hunt around and see what works for your. If you want to do it the most legal way possible rip the orphaned episodes from Lost in Time and the special edition of The Aztecs using MKV and use the Loose Cannon recons to fill in the gaps.

[@IsaacSigmar]

@@DVDandFilmBloke Thank you 😀

[@IsaacSigmar]

@@DVDandFilmBloke Also, how did you recreate the menus and what software did you use to make them?

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

@@IsaacSigmar There's a lot to go into but I used a piece of freeware called GIMP (a more limited photoshop)

[@thefitnessevolutionwithste9939]

Woah, do you know where I can get these?

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

The reconstructions came from the official Loose Cannon Dailymotion (although some came from other uploads) and the surviving episodes (such as episode 2 of Evil of The Daleks) came from the Lost In Time box set (the surviving episodes maybe on Dailymotion but Lost in Time provides better image quality and it's only fair), the only one that came from a different source was Galaxy 4 episode 3 which was sourced from The Aztecs Special Edition.

[@thefitnessevolutionwithste9939]

@@DVDandFilmBloke Alright, thank you very much. I won't be able to make DVDs like you, but I will be able to check out their Dailymotion.

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

Also I must stress, some of the missing stories have received official DVD releases with animation (such as Power of The Daleks and Fury From The Deep) so keep your eye out for any future releases and buy them officially. You can also buy the soundtracks but the downside is they only come in really expensive box sets (£70 or something for 5 audio only stories) and a lot of the stories that are featured are redundant. Also if you have any plans on buying or selling these then don't because, just like with the Despecialised editions of Star Wars these are not for profit fan projects (my DVDs are the only copies in the world and I have no plan to make copies and sell them and if any of these get official releases I will buy the official release and make the recons redundant).

[@elizabeththomas2351]

Dimensions in time is terrible

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

Yes, I know it is. God knows why I burnt it onto disc.

[@tanyacasey1984]

Are you the guy who sells online??

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

Nope I just work here.

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

And even if I wanted to I couldn't because 1: The cost of reproduction, because I would have to buy crap tons of DVD Rs, printer ink, paper, DVD cases etc and 2: It would be illegal for me to sell them for a profit, they are for personal use only and as such are the only copies in the world.

[@tanyacasey1984]

Oh ok, there a guy on eBay who’s selling these & they’re the exact same art & stuff, so I just thought you were 😅
