The Lost World "Quicksand Tree"!

Postby Boggy Man » Fri Jan 22, 2010 7:54 am

Another result of my online search for program episodes containing scenes of interest:

On Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Lost World", season 1, episode 9, entitled "Paradise Found", there is a community that has achieved eternal youth. Their secret is the fruit of a rather "unique" :twisted: tree, which, when eaten, restores and maintains youth. But, in order for the tree to produce this special fruit, it requires sacrifices! :twisted: Even though this is plant vore, the way it feeds is exactly the same way a quicksand pit swallows its victims (although the "pit" is a standing vertical one in the trunk of the tree)! :twisted: In fact, for the scenes, they use mud covered with moss and/or green fuzz for the effect! :D There are two scenes. Enjoy! 8-)

First is a female sacrifice being fed (sucked in)to the tree:

And here is a male sacrifice, where one of the main characters, Ned Malone, is fed (sucked in)to the tree, and emerges an old man:

EDIT: Hmmmm... It seems that the audio is out of sync for some reason on Megavideo. Hope it downloads and plays okay from Megaupload. :?

The quality of the video on MegaVideo is way better than that on YouTube

Thanks for sharing!

So many different suns
And we have just one world

So it looks like I was already beaten to the punch a few years ago. But, it had never been mentioned in these forums, or at Deep Sinking, so I had thought that scene had never been extracted.

Ignoring the audio track being off, MegaVideo seems to work okay for me. Have you tried downloading it from MegaUpload?

I think that MegaVideo may have a problem with divx, which is what is being used for these two files. :? I also noticed that my motion-jpeg (mjpg) files with araw audio may also have a problem, because when I looked at one of my sinking ones in MegaVideo, I only got video with no audio. :? But, the direct downloads from MegaUpload should hopefully work just fine. But, if people have too much trouble playing the file locally on their machine, then I could try uploading it in a different format.

It did not work for me with a direct download (the only method I use). I tried downloading and reinstalling Divx but to no avail. No clue what is up. /shrug

Yes.

I think it has something to do with Quicktime and my PC. MPV's "Bitch Crawl" vids in mp4 format are buggy as well. On them, if i try to seek, it freezes. Only way out is CTRL-ALT-DEL.

To this day, folks with fresh installations of the VLC player have not reported any problems playing the newer MPV renders. ;)
