You can get a torrent of the episode from a few places. Just google it.

Hilarious bits tonight:

The "Take On Me" ripoff (which was brilliantly done)

TIE Fighters in the sewers

Peter calling every Asian man Jackie Chan; the real Jackie Chan calling Peter Ethan Hawke

Last night was the first time I say the family guy (Where have I been? Missing out a lot). And as clayj pointed out above, those were hilarious. I love the "Take On Me" rip!!! Does anyone know if this clip is online? And the TIE Fighters in the sewers!!!! How about the Japanese Trixs are for kids!!!

I have a personally recorded digital copy of it. If you have an FTP I could send it to you - PM me.

Ipecac episode file?

Hey folks. I'm a EMT/paramedic instructor, looking for a file of the ipecac scene to use in class... absolutely priceless as a teaching tool!

Anyone have it?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I could probably rip the scene from my digital copy if you like. My only questions would be:

a) how do I do this?

Will iMovie be suffucient?
b) how will I get you the file? Do you have an FTP server?

We can PM about this offline, but I would appreciate guidance from anyone in general on how to edit an .avi in this manner, keeping in mind I don't have FCE, etc.

do you have quicktime pro?

Alas, no.

Can I import the whole thing into iMovie, then just crop everything else out except the scene? Or is there quality degredation when importing, then exporting with iMovie in such a manner?

Are there any little free video editing tools like this? Maybe I'll hunt around VersionTracker a bit...

srs · Jul 22, 2005

I'm clueless, unfortunately!

Sorry, but this is over my head! As far as getting me the file, we can just transfer over IM, correct? I've transferred files this way before. Also, what about the "shared" file deal at a .mac account?

Again, sorry for my obvious cluelessness on these issues, but thanks for your help, I appreciate it.

I think I can help you out when I get home from work.

(4 1/2 hours or so from now)

not to pry, but how did you get the file? depending, the amount of degradation will not matter... as it's probably a lower quality than dv anyways... i would think that your method would work fine though, the imovie method that is.

worth a look on VT, but not sure of any off the top of my head

It'll import it at full quality...just import the video, crop out that section, and then export it to a high quality MP4 (or whatever format you want). It should look fine...

No worries. If Counterfit doesn't help you, I will. I don't have a .Mac account, but if I can upload you something there that would work. Otherwise, what IM client do you use? I use MSN for Mac, not sure if that allows for file txfer, never used that functionality before. Anyway, just PM me and we can go from there.

No worries - I actually record them every week, so I end up with a nice ~170MB file when all is said and done. So you're right, the quality wouldn't matter too much, it's not DVD quality or anything. Nonetheless, it's still very good.

Great, thanks! I'll look into taking care of that for srs in the near future here....

iCe Cube · Jul 22, 2005

just to let y'all know, I love Family Guy! Peter is probably the funniest cartoon character ever! Funnier than Bender and Homer put together! (or maybe not)

anyways, I heard aa clip from FG that was the start of some Game mixtape song

Counterfit · Jul 22, 2005

I'm back! srs, pm me your AIM SN, and I'll get it sent to you nice and quick (last night, I found that, for some reason, my ISP has nearly tripled my upload speed

ROCK!)

Cool

Yeah, that whole scene went on WAY longer than I expected it to. That's one of my favorite parts of this show, when they overdo stuff like that. That must have been at least a solid 60-90 seconds of Peter, the kids and Brian all throwing up all over the furniture.

I still say the best two parts of last weeks episode were Stewie's diaper not being changed for like a week, and Tom Tucker tricking Diane with that whole 'if your hand is bigger than your face, you've got cancer' thing.

First of all, it looks like Counterfit has things handled for srs, so thanks, and sorry I couldn't be of help as well!

As for that scene, yah, I love it when they overdo stuff like that. Another one of my favorites is when Peter trips on the sidewalk and injures his knee - "Ahhhh....sssss... ahhhhh.... sssssss" and so on for a LONG time. Actually I had an animated GIF of that as my avatar for a while...

Phat_Pat · Jul 23, 2005

Let me know if you have any problems and I'll take a stab at it myself. For now though I'll leave it in your more than capable hands.
