I heard about this edit at the forums at
fanedit.org.
I really enjoyed this alot.
I wasn't expecting alot but exceeded expectations and it's just a whole lot of fun to watch.
You guys that over analyze everything will have a hard time enjoying anything.
Anyway, I was able to download the 3 youtube flvs which seem to be better quality, at 720x480.
The syncing problem is probably because parts 1 and 2 are at 29.919 fps while part 3 is 29.970.
Hence, the syncing issue when I tried combining all 3 into 1 file.
When joining them together with avidemux, I was able to change the fps of parts 1 and 2 to 29.970 without changing the running time. This way I could keep the original audio and hopefully eliminate further syncing issues.
I also cropped out the black bars of all 3 parts and deleted the introductions of parts 2 and 3 so it's all seemless, just like the full version at vimeo.
After joining everything, the end mp4 was still slightly out of sync, but when merged to MKV it came out perfect.
So, the result:
AVP Redemption.mkv
176 MB, 22mn 12s
Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 720x384 29.97fps, 1000 Kbps
Audio: AAC 44100Hz stereo, 108 Kbps
The audio is original and the video bitrate is slightly higher than the original youtube clips (800~900 Kbps) because I didn't want to lose any quality.
You can download from MegaUpload:

At
fanedit.info, you can also download a fanedit called AvP Outbreak (by Wraith), which is really good.
If you do get it, download the avi file at MU and not the mp4 at rapidshare, as the avi has much better, DVD quality video along with 5.1 AC3 audio.
Edit: Actually, if Alex doesn't like my posting this, I can remove it.
