Title: LBT TV Series Episode Guide & Temporary DL Links
Post by: action9000 on January 12, 2007, 10:31:24 PM
Hey All,
I have decided to start a topic dedicated to databasing the LBT TV series as it is produced.  Unfortunately, I missed episode 1, as did everyone else here so I will post it the next time it comes on the air.

Until then, I'll keep a running list of LBT TV episodes on this topic as well as a temporary download link to an AVI video of the episode (low quality of course, for legal and storage space reasons).  If the link expires, I will not be updating the link.  If you wish to receieve a copy of the video after the link has expired, PM, e-mail, or MSN me your request and I will send it to you when I can.

Everyone, you Will need DivX support in order to play these videos, as I compressed them with DivX.

Episode 1: Unknown Title
Unknown Description
No download link

Episode 3: The Star Day Celebration
Ruby misses her family on her 'Star Day' (aka. Birthday) and the Gang tries to help cheer her up by being true friends and bringing Ruby her favorite food.

Contains 2 songs:
"Remembering" sung by Ruby
and a happy-go-lucky celebration song near the end of the episode (unknown title), sung by the Gang of....Seven... (that still sounds strange to me).
Download Link: Expired

Well, this was... interesting. Did that anklyosaurus get drunk on the juice from those grape-like fruits? And did Ruby's family all get killed?  You don't see things like that on the disney channel, that's for sure. Since we can all see this, I don't see any need to place a spoiler warning.

EDIT: It isn't clear whether Ruby's family is dead or not, but that anklyosaurus was probably intoxicated from having way too many... fruits (I think we had a discussion on this in a much earlier thread.)

...drunken dinos...

...the slaughter of entire families...

....as morbid as it is to say that, I say this show's looking up. The episode was almost more like the original movie than any of the sequels have been. A definite plus.

Its...not bad.

Well, legally, I do know this. As long as this downloading doesn't interfere with Universal's ability to make money from their copyright, it is technically legal (with the exception of claiming that we own a copyright which we don't own.) Anyway, this is why its is...acceptable to download taped episodes, but NOT okay to download ripped dvds (remember the Betamax decision; taping shows is legal, showing them to one's friends is legal; selling taped shows out on the street is illegal.) As it is, copyright holders can be very protective of what they own, and like to take undue action to defend their property, even if the copyright law is technically not being violated. This is why a temporary link is a good idea.

How would the download of a single episode have any impact on the company itself? I do not see how a single download link could jeopardize Universal in any way.

I never actually heard this. I thought companies considered any downloading to be illegal, regardless if its taped or on a dvd. But whether or not it's okay does not stop people from doing it. Does this mean these people who download are bad? Nope, not at all.

I'm not sure all companies are like that. Some just might see places like YouTube and PutFile as a good thing because it's sort of like free advertisement. It costs money to put a trailer, even a small one, on TV, but costs nothing to allow some people to post different copies of the trailer on YouTube or PutFile. In a way, this allows more people to see the trailer, and thus, allows more people to become interested. The same thing goes for music videos.

So while it is illegal, downloading/viewing videos online doesn't always have a negative impact on the company; it can have a positive impact too.

Temporary links are good to a certain extent. They do get the job done; but the negative part about them is this: it only stays up for a short amount of time, and thus anyone who wanted to download the vid cannot because they missed the deadline.

I experienced the negative side of temp links when I sent someone a music video, and had to reupload it because when they got the message, the link already expired.

See the Betamax decision. That's why taping shows is legal, but recording movies from a theater isn't.
Title: LBT TV Series Episode Guide & Temporary DL Links
Post by: DarkHououmon on January 13, 2007, 11:26:46 AM
You didn't mention the theatre bit earlier. You just said recording a ripped DVD was illegal. But yes I already knew about that part then. Recording things on a dvd isn't illegal either, especially with DVD Recorders out now. But recording straight from a movie theatre is. It's called bootlegging, isn't it?
Title: LBT TV Series Episode Guide & Temporary DL Links
Post by: Noname on January 13, 2007, 11:35:33 AM
I assumed that the illegality of theater recording was common knowledge. Yes, it is called bootlegging to sell copyrighted property without authorization. DVD ripping and  movie theater recording are illegal, but taping a show is legal (once again, see the Betamax decision.)

I was told that ripping a DVD to put on the computer was legal as long as you owned that DVD, and as long as you didn't distribute it for profit.
Title: LBT TV Series Episode Guide & Temporary DL Links
Post by: Noname on January 13, 2007, 11:58:58 AM
Okay, that much is true; when one buys a DVD, they buy the right to view that piece of material for themselves, and in order to protect that right, they can copy it to their computer. It isn't legal to distribute bootleg DVDs though.

I think as long as we eventually watch the ep. on TV and then buy the official DVD that Universal releases, we should be fine and make up for watching an illegal version. Just my view. I'm against this kind of thing, generally, and when I do do it, I always end up buying the real thing to make up for the crime, so to speak.

Also those of us not from an English speaking country may not even be able to ever watch the series in any other way. So far there is no indication of the series being translated to other languages (and many would prefer the English original anyway). Apparently there are two DvDs of Curious George including LBT TV series episodes. However, we have no idea how many episodes are on the DvDs. It is as likely as not (or more likely not considering the number and legth of the sequels altogether) that only some were selected for the DvD. It wouldn't be the first time for only some sequels of a series to make it onto a DvD.
I haven't watched the Episode II of the series yet. Call me nuts, but I may wait a bit longer. On the one hand this may be because I like the joy of anticipation, even if it is drawn out. On the other hand I confess that I'm a little worried about what I might get to see. I have several tough university exams impending and may not risk any "emotional upheaval" (the term is exaggerating of course, but new LBT movies DO affect my mood one way or another, at least for a while) before the exams are done. Till then I shall not read the discussions of the sequels or participate in them, but I shall once I have more time and leisure :)

Thank you so much Tim for enabeling many of us who might never ever get a chance to watch the series to do just that :yes

Title: LBT TV Series Episode Guide & Temporary DL Links
Post by: Ryuukokoro on January 13, 2007, 11:34:30 PM
Nope, it all played okay for me. Just got done watching.

I must say about the theme song though... why the heck is it in the African style of music!? What is this, The Lion King?  :blink:

I don't know if I like Ruby very much. Mostly teh character design. Well, I will admit I never liked dinosaurs portrayed with sparse feathers. But maybe she will grow on me. Haha.

I also have to say, I find it doubtful that Ruby's family was killed. Or I should say, there's no real evidence for it. On the contrary, when she and Chomper split up from her family, Red Claw and his raptors actually go after them, not Ruby's family. Although it's possible Red Claw found her family after, I find it more likely that they are just separated and will appear in the Greay Valley in a later episode.

Anyway, for the most part, I love it!!! Man, I am so glad we have these eps available. Thank you for making it downloadable!!

It's been a year since Ruby saw her family (one year from her last birthday) i'd say that the odds of her finding her family again are slim, and they probably died or are lost irretrivably. Since we missed the first episode, we don't know exactly what happened.

However, the next episode will be available for download from this site, either tomorrow or Saturday (probably.)

I shouldn't be surprised. YTV is sort of like Cartoon Network, I think. It's a Canada-only station, though. It's not available anywhere in anyway in the USA.
Title: LBT TV Series Episode Guide & Temporary DL Links

That's sort of right.
YTV stands for Youth Television.  It's a station mainly dedicated to TV shows with a PG rating or lower, live-action or not.  It's channel 20 here

Canada actually has another channel, Teletoon, which would be the equivalent to your Cartoon Network.   Teletoon is my channel 38.

Shoot you guys are lucky you get that show I can never get too see it. My only hope is that Wikipedia is right. According too them YTV will get it first. And then it will start showing in the USA on the Cartoon Network (A channel I do get thank god). Sometime after The Great Day Of The Flyers DVD comes out. Where I'm from that DVD doesn't come out till I think mid Febuary.

I just went to wikipedia here's what I found out on the next epsiode:

When Cera accidentally loses Tria's special shiny stone (a diamond), the group decides to find a new stone by traveling to the Canyon of Shiny Rocks to return to Tria.

A diamond?!! Since when does Tria have a diamond?! She also has a "secret mud spa" from a previous episode mentioned in the wikipedia guide. What is up with this triceratops?

Also, if wikipedia is accurate, there is a song in this one as well. Perhaps we'll hear it whenever the episode is posted. Where would Tria store a diamond anyway? And how would she carry it? In her mouth?

Not to say that that's... bad. Just... interesting. We should see how they approach this. Remember, this is the second time a mineral has some unusual importance to a dinosaur or pterosaur in the series. In the seventh movie, Pterano had an unusual desire to obtain a meteor, which is even more difficult to move than a diamond, and even more rare.
Title: LBT TV Series Episode Guide & Temporary DL Links
Post by: Malte279 on January 20, 2007, 09:22:56 AM
The question is whether or not the Great Valley dinosaurs even know such a concept as that of personal posessions. It reminds me of the fact that when the first contacts between Europeans and native Americans were established there was utter confusion on both sides as many native American tribes didn't ever have such a concept of owning anything (least of all owning land).
There are a few scenes throughout LBT which suggest that the concept is not totally alien to the dinosaurs. In LBT 11 we have the treesweets with one belonging to each individual (funny that the treesweets' number has to match the number of the Great Valley's residents. What about superfluous treesweets, or (worse even) if there are not enough for everyone?). In LBT 8 for example Spike is eating the special treestars Ducky's mother gave just to her. Nevertheless there is an important difference between "owning" something as fugitive as food and owning something material of no real, practical purpose.
The closest thing we had was the original movie's first ever treestar. That one wasn't food however for the important meaning it had to Littlefoot. There is no indication that anyone ever questioned Littlefoot's ownership of that treestar or nibble on it even in the time of the worst hunger.

Anyway, if it comes to glittering stones I doubt dinosaurs of the LBT world would think of "owning" it as in "it belongs just to me". The sparkling stone would sparkle as bright for Littlefoot as it would for Cera, Ducky, Petrie, and Spike. Unless there is some special conotation to anything material I don't think they would even think of keeping it. How would quadruped dinosaurs carry around that stone all the time anyway?
Nevertheless, I won't judge the series because of that mere idea. I shall not judge it before seeing it myself. How will one ever know what one might have missed until actually watching it Petrie?

Oh?  I've seen that one episode and that'll be the last.  I was not pleased with what I saw.  Needless to say, things just happened like that, with no real depth, and don't get me started on how the characters are drawn.  They seem to be blocky and seem to vary scene to scene so its obvious there were many animators on this show.  Ruby is not bad; I'll give them that.  Chomper...how the hell did he get off the island?  Music...eh, not bad, but that theme song is puzzling why they chose this African beat with the drums.  Just a very odd choice.  

Not that they were out to go and impress me with the show of course.  I've seen and judged.

Probably. It is certainly the impression we get at the end of LBT 11. However, After all the measures to make sure that everyone gets but one treesweet, how do they explain that some get two or three? The grudge that comes from unequal sharing is definitely known among the LBT dinosaurs (as demonstrated in LBT 3).

It has some musical references to earlier LBT shows:
The song "Adventuring" (Originally from LBT 10) is redone in this episode, as is "Good times, Good friends" (Originally from the TV episode where the Gang seeks out the crystals).

Title: LBT TV Series Episode Guide & Temporary DL Links
Post by: Noname on February 07, 2007, 10:45:34 PM
The only thing that might be unsettling when one thinks about it is the seeming change in the series that began with movie XI. Prior to that, the movies starting from II had a basic formula, albeit one that could be approached in many, many ways; something happens, the five characters meet a guest character, there's an adventure, the adventure ends, the guest character has to leave "if we hold on together" plays, and everyone says goodbye (except in the land before time III, where Hyp, Nod and Mutt just stay inactive.) No guest character becomes permanent, and, with the exception of Chomper (and his parents), no guest character is (yet) seen again (save for some possible cameos.)
     Then, in movie XI, that changed. Tria became a permanent character. In movie XII,  Tricia became a permanent character. In the first episode of the series (which I haven't seen, but have read about), Chomper and Ruby become permanent characters, as do Redclaw and Screech (probably.) So now we have a larger group, permanently changed for the first time. We also have the series' first regular villians/antagonists in Redclaw, Screech, and that other of the two raptors he has with him. Ironically, the series has become dynamic by keeping characters from leaving at the end, which is what we are used to. We might also see the return of other past characters, but no specific evidence of a return is given. I'll check various online credits of the series and see if I can't find a reference to someone who has yet to return...
The good news is, that the original group of five is still intact within the group of seven, and we aren't going to see a rotating roster like every new season of the "power rangers." If anything, what we are seeing is a natural part of life, which doesn't remain static; it changes.

EDIT: We have also seen the characters themselves change, and they have done much to overcome their flaws, they have gained/met family members, and all have grown physically:

1. Littlefoot has become more emotionally mature; we see that he is able to separate himself from his father in the tenth movie, wheras in the first movie, he probably would have (literally) clung to him. Of all the characters, he has probably done the most to overcome his flaws (attatchment, maybe even fear of loss.)

2. Cera has gained a stepmother, half-sister, and has become more tolerant of those  of another kind. The same could be said of her father, who has also become more tolerant, though still thinking his kind is supreme (see the fifth tv episode.) Cera has also done much to overcome her initial character flaws (hubris, intolerance), but still has much pride.

3. Ducky is probably the only character who hasn't shown much change, although she is probably less gullible than in the first movie (not much less.) Her other flaw of sensitivity is still there, but this is also a part of her kindness, which is a positive quality.

4. Spike can now talk, even though he doesn't do so often, and hasn't really changed much otherwise. Spike hasn't done a thing about his flaw, gluttony.

5. Petrie has changed for the better and worse; on one hand, he is able to fly, since WAY back in the first movie. He also appears to be both braver and still somewhat easily frightened, depending on the cirumstance. He has also gained the fear of bad luck, probably from his experiences in the sixth movie and from what his uncle Pterano told him. Petrie also undergoes some sort of change in the twelth movie, but it probably isn't a coming of age ceremony, as he and his siblings are way too young.
Some flaws yet to overcome include superstition and unwarrented fear.

6. Chomper changed in when he gained the ability to talk somewhere between the second and fifth movies. We also know that Ruby and Chomper seem to share some sort of mutual responsibility to protect and guide each other, with Chomper having to lead Ruby to the Great Valley, and Ruby having to discover the secret of how to live together in peace with other species. It's hard to find much flaw with Chomper, but it's possible that he also has some gluttony; when he suggested bringing Tria some insects, Ruby said that he would eat them all, in the same manner that spike would eat all of the leaves that they could bring to Tria. There was also the scene in which he said he was getting hungry... with potential food trapped on a rock with him... and Ducky getting worried about this...

7. Ruby is the hardest to talk about. She appears to be the oldest of the entire group; she is larger than Chomper despite the fact that her species was nowhere near the size of Chomper's when fully grown. Anyway, what little we yet know of her deeper character comes from the third episode. She seems to suffer from some form of separation anxiety from her family; the scene in the third episode ("remembering") is similar to the scene in the first movie where Littlefoot was depressed due to the death of his mother. We don't see much change in her, save that of physical growth; she looks much smaller in the flashbacks, especially the one that was at least two years ago. I can also say that Ruby's verbal characteristics are to use mistaken logic and redundencies such as "but you haven't seen what we're going to see yet" (redundant) or "when all you have to do is wait, waiting is easy to do." (not necessarily, especially you're surrounded by lava,  as she was when she said that.) Besides the logical fallacies (REAL philosophers don't use logical fallacies), another flaw which we could see overcome would be the similar attatchment that we saw in the first movie with Littlefoot.

I believe Ruby is more of a philosopher. She's on some sort of quest, which might lead the gang back to her fmaily and on longer "road trips" to the mysterious beyond. Hasn't that evolved as well? In the first 4 sequels (lbt 2 to 5) we see the mysterious beyond as a dead place surrounded by dino skeletons, with no food or water to be found, just some sharpteeth. And then suddenly you have a lot of green areas, everywhere you go has forests, grass, and other dinosaurs. The Earth hasn't changed that much.
I believe LBT was evolving  to a time near the extinction of the dinosaurs untill LBT IV, but suddenly they just decided to stop with the rapid changes (although we have the blizzard in LBT 8, and the weird meteor in LBT 7) and mantain a normal series of movies not so much emotionally evolved and targeted more to a larger and younger audience.

This one will be rather special for all of those Ali fans out there...if you can get over the huge changes that Ali has been through since LBT 4...

The main question still left to be answered...is Ali staying now?

It (the episode labeled here as 9) appears to be an earlier episode being played over again! :yes

I checked wikipedia and it said that this episode had already played.

P.S. It's possible that wikipedia has the order of the episodes mixed up, or that I am mistaken somehow. Another possbility (much stronger) suggests that the episode order might be mixed up, and that YTV has played it's extra episode from an earlier time.

I think episode 9 is actually episode 1.
Title: LBT TV Series Episode Guide & Temporary DL Links
Post by: Noname on February 16, 2007, 11:24:52 PM
It would seem that Chomper and Ruby are introduced rather hastily. It is mentioned that the (grand)parents of the original five allowed Chomper and Ruby to live in the caves, but exactly how they arrived, or how the characters reacted when they met each other for the first time in this series is unknown. Maybe we will see it in another episode, in some sort of flashback. We also see Ruby eat something in the water. Both episodes had Redclaw chasing the characters, as did episode 3 (in a flashback), and six (in both a flashback and the current time.) Perhaps YTV will show episode two soon; I only hope that they aren't re-starting the episode loop so soon; that would throw off the plans to record new episodes each week. Still, the replaying of the first episode was considered to be an "extra", and next week shows only one episode of series being played, so there should'nt be anything to worry about. Anyone else notice that the ending credits were different in episode eight?
Also, episode eight showed the "predator subtitles" for the first time since the fifth movie; this shows some good continuity.

Post by: NewOrder on February 17, 2007, 09:46:33 AM
It's impossible for either of these new episodes to be ep 1 or 2, the names don't match, and none of them show any sort of introduction. I think the order of the episodes is mixed up, it often happens with this pre-release series. With Stargate Atlantis season 3, that already aired on SkyOne they show an episode where one of the main characters dies and in the next episodes he's still alive.
I believe that episode 9 is actually episode 8 and vice-versa. You can tell that by the changing ending credits.
Another thing that's improtant to point out, Ali and Rhette are nowhere to be found.

I must disagree with that statement. On Wikipedia, they had the following up ever since episode 3 first aired last month:

Quote
The Cave of Many Voices: Chomper's secret cave in the Great Valley becomes leaky and the Gang goes exploring in the deep caves to search for another suitable cave for Chomper to live in. Meanwhile, Ruby teaches Ducky how to act and speak big.

This is the same plot and the same title as "episode 9", but is listed as episode 1. I doubt they would make 2 episodes with the same plot and the same title for the same show.

Looks like Ali's a no show again.
It's interesting how someone from Grandpa's past comes back, and we find out he used to be a story teller. Aparently Longnecks have some sort of bible that they go around and preach.
Title: LBT TV Series Episode Guide & Temporary DL Links

Not exactly a bible; it could be more like griots from west Africa, or Skops from the Anglo-Saxons.

Skops can be considered to be "traveling singers", in that they would go from village to village telling people epic poems (like the poem Beowulf.) Griots essentilly did the same thing. See this article (which spells it as "scop"):

Did anyone notice the scene in the song flashback at nine minutes and ninteen seconds? (9:19.) We seem to see a vision of Littlefoot's grandfather remembering being near a pool of water with a pair of young sauropod children playing in it. It clearly takes place in the distant past, as Littlefoot's grandfather looks much younger. We also see a brown colored sauropod on the opposite side of the pool. It is shown from such a distance that we cannot make out the appearance of the young sauropods, but I would guess that at least the one on the side of Littlefoot's grandfather (the one who slides down his back and tail and into the water) would be none other than his daughter (Littlefoot's mother.) The other one could be anyone else, but it might be a young Bron. Who knows?

The first time, the cable was out, I think, and that's why he couldn't record. The second time, a program interferred and resulted in sped up animation and choppy sound.

I talked to him on MSN and he told me what happened to last Friday's episode.

I heard a small set of rumors that once the DVD comes out in the UK a week after on Cartoon Network daily like in the USA one, but that only a rumor I heard on some other forms and places on the internet about the Land Before Time Series. Another one of the rumors said that CBBC will air the series as well on Afternoon TV for the kids that come home from school.

No real offical comfirmings at the moment. just scattered rumors that no way to be sure are true or false, As for the series from Action9000 it should be today or tomorrow when the series is put up on yousendit site. if nothing gone wrong this time around.

The Hidden Canyon, if wikipedia has that information correct, it first aired in Canada yesterday. It was a very good episode, with two serious fighting scenes.
Title: LBT TV Series Episode Guide & Temporary DL Links
Post by: action9000 on March 24, 2007, 11:28:08 PM
Yep, it was the Hidden Canyon for me too.
I'm terribly sorry for the lack of episode links the last 3 weeks.  I'm sure you don't want excuses but I'll give em to you anyway: :lol  :P:

1st week: Cable was out during the show, and for about 2 hours after it, so I ended up recording nothing but a blank screen.

2nd week: I accidently forgot to shut down my music software which (apparently!) interferes with the sound in any other application because of driver conflicts or something like that.  Because of this, the sound and video speed was way too fast and most of the sound data was missing, making the video almost unwatchable with sound.  I didn't bother to post the video that I did have, as it was unbearable. :p   This was basically my fauly, since I left the program open.  I didn't know it would do that though!  I showed the result to Darkhououmon, who thought it was rather comical. :P:

3rd week: Ninjas!  Ninjas!!  I set up the recording properly, the same time I always do...I get home to look at the video and first thing I see is a strange show about Ninjas or something...My first thought was something along the lines of "What are ninjas doing in my dinosaur show!?"  I soon realized what had happened though.. YTV's schedule had been changed at some point and LBT was taken off for that week for whatever reason.  A slightly different line of shows was shown that day.  As a result, I didn't get a recording.

Anywho, I have one of this week's, The Hidden Canyon.  See the Hidden Canyon post and the first post in this topic for the link.

I had to use a different compression method for this one.  I was hoping it would work as long as you had DivX but....guess not :S
Okay, I used XVid (just divX spelled backwards :p) compression for this one because DivX wasn't working in my compressor for some strange reason.  Using different compression seemed like the easiest way around the problem.

[EDIT]
Here's a link to an XVid codec
