g-force, I am not rushing you in any way, shape or form, but do you have any idea at all when we might see the ROTJ script being final, whether it be a few days, a month, whatever?

Thanks man just want to keep these together, but if it is going to be a pretty long time yet then I can slow down a bit on finishing these 2.

 Most likely a few months, Sorry.

g-force ive recently watched your script version od Star Wars and wow its beautiful. Cant wait to see Empire and Jedi , are they available yet ?

 

Empire is available. Jedi isn't. But as you can see, he'll post it when it is finished, be patient.

Empire is not in the usual place.  As far as I know, it is still unavailable. 

The script is available (I think, I could be wrong) for those who wish to use it to make their own disc, if I'm not mistaken.

Oh, I see.  I thought irn-bru meant a DVD release.  My mistake!

G-Force hasn't even logged in since July. Anybody know how to get in touch with him?

If so please pass along our well wishes and let him know he's missed.

Vbangle said it perfectly.  It would be nice to see G-Force posting again.

Could someone please suggest how I might implement g-force's script for ANH, using DVD Rebuilder? Would I simply copy and paste the script into its filter editor? If yes, since I'm using DVD Rebuilder's "Convert from LB 4:3 to 16:9" option, would I exclude the following from the script?

########## resize to 16x9 AR, remove sides, add borders
Spline16Resize(728,388).Crop(8,10,-4,-14,align=true).AddBorders(2,58,2,58)

Are there any other changes to the script that should be made if using it with DVD Rebuilder? Please advise.

Thank you kindly in advance.

 

 

Just a quick suggestion, and one I've made before - if you're planning on viewing this on any kind of modern display (i.e. flat screen TV), you'd be better off not resizing - certainly not with spline16resize or anything similar. Your TV will do a much better job of resizing.

I'm curious as to why the ANH script contains the following:

episode==5 ? last.Trim(0,92103)++orig.Trim(92104,93601)++last.Trim(93602,0) : last

 

Also, why does it have the ROTJ subs? If I (obviously) don't want that in ANH, would I delete the following from the script?

########## subtitle
episode==4 ? ANH(last) : episode==6 ? ROTJ(last) : last

No need to delete the ROTJ subs. They won't appear on ANH, that's what 'episode' variable controls. But if you're still worried, get VirtualDub, and open up the .avs script with that and you'll see.

Also, try to avoid DVDRebuilder's own resizing, and use g-force's as it is. Encode it as a 16:9 movie, no LB to 16:9 conversion.

 Sorry lads, i did meen a dvd release.

As far as the new scripts go, it is still just G-Force's ANH.

Not sure if I've ever mentioned this before (because to be honest I've not looked over the script in detail) but this line:

Spline16Resize(728,388).Crop(8,14,-6,-10,align=true).AddBorders(3,58,3,58)

rings another "alarm" bell, aside from my argument against resizing to anamorphic.

Any compliant DVD player shouldn't show the 8 pixels (NTSC) or 9 pixels (PAL) at left and right, because that part of the video is reserved as "nominal analogue blanking", so you can avoid the horizontal resizing altogether - or was this written with NAB in mind, and gets rid of more vignetting...

If your DVD player/display isn't compliant, you can always just crop to 704 pixels wide, because this is also DVD-valid.

How would you change that line of code, DE?  I was thinking of giving the ESB script a go, and I wondered about that too.

I only use Splinexx for downsizing.  (I find Spline16 faster than Spline36, but perhaps that is just my perception.)  I use Lanczos3 for upscaling.  Is that not what we are doing here?   I thought the recommendation was that it was that way round, but perhaps I am wrong.

Personally, I would crop eight pixels from the left and eight pixels from the right and author a 704x480 DVD, but I suppose it is just preference.  I have done this numerous times recently and the result has always played perfectly.  I have even come across commercial DVDs that are 704x480.

 

Thanks, Doctor M. 

I am really interested in whether this latest version of the script takes NAB into account, as I am almost ready to encode with it.  One option might be to make a non-anamorphic MKV or AVI with the script that would automatically be resized on playback.
