Anyone have a DVD cover for The Dark Redemption by chance? This is was one of the first films I ever saw and finally have a decent enough quality to put onto DVD for my collection. Anyone have a cover from years back? or willing to make one?

Keith, along with the higher quality film, Pete Mether (the director) sent me some images, banners, etc. for the film. You can download them from here:

There's not a DVD cover in there, but there's a good image of the poster that could probably be used as the basis for one. Turning it into a cover would be beyond my expertise, but if someone gets one out together, I would love to have one myself.

Thanks. I've looked online and see where there used to be a DVD cover but I can't locate it. It may have kept personal or been removed at some point. Actually though, I downloaded that zip last night along with the film. I'm curious why after all these years a decent quality version of it finally showed up. TFN should replace the chopped up files with the mp4 version. I converted it to MPEG2 last night and it looks good.

Now I just need a DVD cover, so if anyone knows of one or can make one...please do.

By all means don't hesitate on putting one together.

I can't import the poster art into my image editing software.

It's the tdrposter.jpeg that won't import.

I get an error message saying "Could not import
tdrposter.jpeg because an unknown or invalid JPEG marker is not found.

The other .jpgs and the .bmp imported just fine.

This will sound overly simple, but I looked at that film on TF.N (in 5 parts, low quality, etc.), and I tracked down the director and asked him for a high quality copy to offer it for download. He has been extremely generous, and he mailed me a DVD with the film and the extras on it - from Australia to Alabama no less. He will be glad to know that it's sparked some renewed interest in the film.

I've also been trying to track down a better version of Seeds of Darkness (fingers crossed), and Spiff and Phi turned up a MUCH better version of Troops a couple of weeks ago. I have a few others in mind to try to track down better versions too, I just haven't gotten to the film-makers yet. But, most of the people I have managed to talk to have been very open and helpful.

I've got a lot of old fan films on DVD. If you have a list send it along and I'll see what I have. I track resolution instead of filesize though.

Any chance he sent you a printed copy of the DVD jacket? if so, he might have the file for printing purposes.

Keith, thanks very for the offer for help. I will get a list to you (may be a couple of days as I'm about to be on the road for business). In alot of ways, resoltion works well for me, as I'm looking for qaulity.

No such luck on the DVD jacket. He burned me a copy and sent it in a hard clear case to protect it. I sent him an e-mail a little while ago as an update because one of the first things we had talked about was the hope that there would be renewed interest in the film, and I know he'll be glad to hear that there has been some. I can ask him if he's got an image file for that when I hear back from him.

I've always beein interested in the film. It's either the first or second film I ever saw here at TFN. I can't recall if I saw Troops first or not.

But either way, I doubt he's interested in an SE version of his film, but it would be interesting to see what it would look liked with today's upgrades in CGI. But I certainly wouldn't ask him about it.

One way to garner interest in the film again, would be to officially have TFN upgrade their file and mention the new resolution in their news section. I think that's a legitimate news item because it's never been available at that resolution before.
