This has probably come up before but I'm too lazy to check.

Anyway I was watching Gunbuster which is all CAV and the first side registered at 53949. I am not 100% on timing and did not time this but I think it was around 40 minutes.

Original or box set version?

Per publius note on Gunbuster Top wo Nerae! (Aim for the Top!): vol.1 (1988) [BEAL-207], the framerate is set at 30fps.

53,949 frames would translate into 29 minutes.

Ah okay.

Publius seems like an interesting fellow.

It is a shame he hasn't been on for awhile.

Didn't that legend Publius get caught up in an LD repair/theft scenario and dissappear or something?

I believe the matter was solved and Publius' name cleared.

=> PUBLIUS could you contact me ASAP (solved)

But he hasn't visited LDDb.com for more than 2 months now.

So what's the deal with the CAV edition of Land Before Time? The movie is 69 minutes long but is on only three sides, so where do the extra 9 minutes fit?

Being a special edition of an animated feature that benefited from the CAV encoding for frame freezing and steps, they might have simply split it by 20~25mn/side, waiting for a smart side break.

I can't believe I failed math this badly. :sick: 69 divided by 3 is not 33.
