The Union - The Business Behind Getting High [DVD]

To burn;

Select all, Copy, and Paste onto a blank Disk. Your OS or burn program will do the rest just like any document.

By the way, I don't have any software to rip anything, I don't see ANY use for it.
You take your disc, dont fuck with auto-play (disable it in the default), open your disk like you open any folder and "select all, copy, and paste" it in a folder anywhere you like, or onto another disc.

Try it. I dont see how software makers had anyone believe they need to BUY and RUN a riper.

One more thing, whenever I find an ISO disc, I take any zip (7zip, Izarc, Rar) and unzip it, and then do as above.

Oh, and I use Imgburn simply because it is faster than my OS(vista) one.

You can also take the "VTS_01_1.VOB" to "VTS_01_5.VOB" and replace the VOB ext to MPEG (the system will alert you and say blablabla; I never care because they're the same encode "mv2 dvd compatible") and play them or load them to your prefered DVD editor software. This will enable you to do your own "VTS_01_0.VOB" and BUP and IFO files and have the disc your way.

If your system cannot play mpeg, go to http://shark007.net and get the Vista codec pack. It also have the sets for "WindowsME to Windows7". (it gave me the ocasion to get rid of realplayer for once;) I use flashgot to get my FLVs and other web videos.

Highly entertaining as well as informative, The Union takes a look at BC's ever-expanding marijuana industry.

Beginning with a brief history of the use of marijuana in North America, director Brett Harvey takes us on a journey that includes interviews with growers, clippers, criminologists, politicians, doctors, police officers and pop culture icons to illuminate the business of BC bud and how it is that such a powerful industry can function so successfully while remaining illegal.

With enormous profits to be made, he questions who benefits the most from the current state of affairs and comes up with some not-so-surprising answers.

In examining more closely the propaganda of the anti-marijuana lobby, some unexpected facts and figures surface regarding the health risks of marijuana as well as the economic, agricultural and societal benefits of growing hemp, and the current laws prohibiting such crops in North America.

As an industry that brings in seven billion dollars annually, the business of growing and distributing marijuana is even more profitable for those involved on both sides of the law due to the prohibition.

The Union is a fascinating and in-depth look at one of BC's most profitable industries and the players involved, from the growers and dealers to pharmaceutical companies and builders of private prisons.

Winner, Outstanding Documentary Feature, 2007 Winnipeg International Film Festival.

This film is nominated for the National Film Board's Best Canadian Documentary Award.

Now, to answer some of the comments;

I know there is some simillar files here and elswhere.

The "avi" I saw is a google format which is as watchable as an flv (Foggy Lame Video)

The "wmv" file is the one that no-one wants to dl or even dare to open. And they are right; because I tried to transcode it and it was crashing my sys all the time. So I took it to windows dvd maker to transcode it in its own wmv to be able to do another try to avi or mpeg2. But the dvd came out better than I would've expected.

So there, thats the file I have uploaded.

Now, another thing;
Not everyone can easily make or dare do a dvd with that file I had to begin with. Which is why I made this torrent that way. The goal you ask? "You take that dvd to your local bar or anywhere and ask the owner to put that in the player and push PLAY!

I don't and never upload a torrent simply just to upload a file(like an ipod guy would do with cheap small files). I did it once, and it was once time to many.
I do them so that everyone can use them. (and let your ipod do what it can with it YOUR way)

Peace
thx
Ghis

btw; I'll be uploading and seeding this ONLY ONCE!
My bandwidth is killing me here(not to mention if I'll ever be online again thereafter)
So it is up to you all to respectabily seed this as you can or as you wish it to go further on(if you have the ressouces to do it). thx again
