I recently got in touch with Dave, a guy who had shelled out to have the first 3 LDs of Jura Tripper fansubbed to VHS a few years back. While the company has diapeared (with his 3rd LD, incidentally!) and he doesn't have the scripts, we have... A PLAN!~!!
1> I send Dave my 3rd JT LD.
2> Dave records DVD-Rs from the LDs
3> Dave forwards DVD-Rs
4> Somehow, get ahold of the SVHS JT subs (Maybe Dave can lend them to me.)
5> Transfer DVD-R files to computer, and convert to AVI.
6> Find translator to make scripts.
7> I time the text.
8> Find a way to distribute.
Conditional step: If I can get the SVHS tapes somewhere, I can cull the scripts from it, by painstakingly pausing, reading the text from the screen, and then transposing it to a text document on the computer. Using this script, I could time the first.. 8? I think Episodes done by the fansub company. Of course I'll list them and the translator in the credits.
It could work!
My evil PLAN! Jura Tripper fansubs!?

Good luck Zag! I hope things work out for you and you can get the series fansubbed. I have a few series that I would like to buy on DVD that are not released domestically. It would be nice to buy the DVD's and hand them off to a fansubbing group to fansub and then distribute.
