Thank you for your kind words my friend, yes it was a lot of work. Actually I'm starting to get a little excited about finishng it. I captured some new stuff from PT-Boats and Red Ochestra 2 yesterday evening and I managed to get my SH3 install running again "of sorts". I would also like to incorporate some footage from Steel Fury and SH5.
My main issue is "do I still have the original footage somewhere as opposed to the movie segments?". If I have then it would be better as I could add new scenes to them as required, re-compress without the subtitles and then re-do the subtitles or better still re-do the narration and the subtitles before putting it all back together again. The reason the I broke it down into segments was to make it easier to edit etc.. Each segment is un-compressed and then the final assembly in virtual-dub with compression.
I'd welcome any assistance you could offer especially as you speak German. That would be a great assistance. When a friend kindly did the German voice-over at the beginning and helped with some of the newsreel translation he mentioned to me that it would be difficult to immitate the original newreeder's voice as "german wasn't spoken like that anymore" so that might be difficult. What could be done is re-write the whole narrative rather than rely on Wochenschau original narrative.
I wanted to set it in 1942 as this was a pivotal year for the Wehrmacht leading up to El-Alamein, Stalingrad and the later stages of Battle of The Atlantic etc.
Thanks again for your posting and for the "bump"
, hope to speak to you again soon.
Kind regards
