@snicker: I never touched that shot and the gate weave of the stars tells me that it wasn't digitally recomped either, so I assume it was always that way.

I was referring to the Blu-ray and not your edit mate. Just wanted to point it out as I can't recall it being mentioned previously.

The first scene was recolored to match the original wrong colors, I believe Luke's head is matted separately or at least the color is. This should have been redone in v2 because of the new HD source.

The second image was blurry due to Harmy having to use a picture of a movie screen in order to get the original matte just right. He has come into better sources for v2.

You hardly need to worry, we've got this. ;-)

 

Brilliant 005! I'm not worried, I'm thrilled! :-) Now I've got to read this thread from the beginning to understand how you've done everything.

It is kind of sad that this is done by the community instead of the original creator. I guess sadness turned to bitterness and bitterness turned to anger. But anger then seemed to lead  to creativity instead of hate. I'm so glad for that.

Thanks.

how can I get my hands on this theatrical high Def version??

V2.0 is currently being finished up.  Sounds like it is getting closer.  I would wait on this as Harmy and his workprints show that it will be superior to V1.0

thanks for that =)

how far off do we think it is?

Yeah, like I said before, I tried predicting how long it would take and was terribly wrong (I believe I predicted a couple of weeks being left like half a year ago :-D ) And even though it may not seem that way, I do have a life, so it will take as long as other stuff will allow.

But we're getting there, I now have all the materials I need, so there will be no more waiting for anything.

I watched version 1.0 again last night, I'm not nearly as technical as most of you when it comes to how everything should look, to me it looks amazing.  I'm very much looking forward to viewing 2.0.  Really great work here.

Considering Megaupload is down, anywhere else I could download the sweet cover art?

Dear George Lucas,

Thanks to Harmy, you can cancel the order of protection against me. Now that we all have a HD version worth watching.

Yours Forcefully,

Epic man, thnx!

Harmy, thanks for the awesome achievement. I really appreciate your efforts. 

I'm sorry for the newbie, technical post, but I can't find any instructions on authoring physical media from the iso's. The search function returns no hits for DVD, Mac, or anything else of interest, and I couldn't find what I was looking for in the technical forum.

I have a stack of DVD+R DL disks, and a Snow Leopard Mac that can write to them. Toast Titanium was not helpful in making disks from the m2ts file. I just want something I can pop into my BD player so I can watch on a proper TV set. 

If there's a thread or post that answers this, I'll of course be happy to take this discussion there. Thanks in advance for whatever help you can provide.

Any idea if and when we'll get a look at WP3_3, Harmy?  Once we get to Mos Eisley, that's where things get reeeeeally interesting for 'DE-ing' the shots :)

For authoring DVDs, I use IMGBurn for PC. I don't know if they have software for Mac. It is a free, easy to use program. I don't know of any others off hand, though.

I use a program called iskysoft.  That being said, you should wait on Star Wars.  Harmy's soon to be released version 2.0 is going to blow that one away.

Thanks! Iskysoft worked great (though it did take forever to convert the data). I knew about SW 2.0, so I used Empire for the test run.

I'll try using Toast and the complete ISO for Jedi...
