I was watching ESB Despecialized again today and I think I've spotted a really significant flaw. I never realized it with old VHS copies, etc. but once you go to HD I think Harrison Ford to sexy. I like the HD, but this is distracting. I think it would be best if you left Harrison Ford in standard definition for ROJ, while maintaining the HD for the rest of the cast. Actually maybe standard definition for Lando as well. Just a thought.

lol

Dammit Rob, you need to be posting more.

HD=Harrison Definition

Here's one. It is from the final AVCHD which I'm currently uploading ;-)

Here's an NFO:

RETURN OF THE JEDI - DESPECIALIZED EDITION HD

This is a cut which is very close to the 1983 theatrical version of ROTJ except for some of the cleaned up original VFX (a list of changes with picture comparisons and explanations of how the shots were despecialized coming soon).

SOURCES:

1) Star.Wars.Episode.VI.Return.of.the.Jedi.1983.720p.HDTV.x264-DON (2004 SE)

2) Dark Jedi's 720p upscale of the GOUT.

3) 1997 SE DTV capture (G'Kar)

I did an extensive shot by shot colour correction and although the colours  may not be 100% perfect, I'm really quite satisfied with them.

HIGH DEFINITION RELEASE

FORMAT: AVCHD DVD9

VIDEO: 1280x720p H264 23.976 fps

AUDIO:

TRACK 1) hairy_hen's 5.1 purist mix @ 448Kbps AC3

TRACK 2) 1993 2.0 mix @ 320Kbps AC3

TRACK 3) 1983 2.0 mix @ 224Kbps

TRACK 4) 1992 2.0 Czech dub @ 256Kbps

TRACK 5) 1983 2.0 German dub @ 256Kbps

You might want to update this copy/paste.

Thanks, done :-)

Harmy...you gave me my childhood back...thank you...*dramatic tear*

Cool! Thanks for your effort!

Thanks, "harmy"! ;) And I can actually get it right away since it's early in the month. Haha.

is tehparadox a torrent site? any chance this'll be available via one of the filehosting sites like rapidshare or ulozto.net before too long?

There is a link to a Megaupload DLC file at tehparadox. No torrent.

hell yeah
spleen upload would be sweet
thanks for this release harmy

I'm getting the same speed, which is great for the middle of the day with a bunch of people jumping on it all at once. I'm around half done so far. :)

Found it. Awesome.

re myspleen: I'd be very happy if someone could share on myspleen again :-)

re Minisabre: Hi, welcome to the forum. Browse around, I'm sure you'll find more interesting projects and discussions around here (I'd especially recommend Puggo's 8mm and 16mm preservations and Dark Jedi's custom discs.)

Now, to your question: you do have to un-rar all parts (it is basically one rar archive split into several) and then you burn to disc using imgburn going by one of these tutorials:

I hope this helps :-)

I had to remember how to burn an AVCHD again when I burned your ESB. Had been so long, I'd totally forgotten. :p
