MKV is always better than AVCHD, less compression, less artifacts. I'll gladly wait for an MKV, or BDMV format. 

As a 14gig file? How?

djchaseb  obviously was talking about how Harmy first released 2.0 version. I too would rather see the MKV not a AVCHD, but it's not my project so Harmy will do what he thinks is best for now.

OK, here's the final coloring of the Ben scene. Pay no mind to the resolution of the v2.1 sample (bottom), it's just a quick draft render to show the colors:

The part on the left is the new (final) version ?

Is the moving bar during the movie intentional or is it an encoding error ?

Oh looks like pure awesomeness. Great fricking job Harmy seriously.

R2 looks a bit purple in the new coloring of the Ben scene but I like that its got a bit more saturation in it!

Extremely subtle but it makes a difference. Keep it up.

Can I ask what an IB print is exactly? Also is there one for Empire and Jedi? If not what's your reference for those movies?

Watched 2.0 last night on my new LED TV, just when I think it can't look any better these screenshots are posted. Once again, stellar work Harmy.

Since everything is going Bluray now, wouldn't it be easier to invest in a media player or cheap Bluray player that will at least playback HD from a flashdrive and output at whatever resolution you want?

If you still want a DVD, burn to DVD9 as DVD5 is much too compressed and will produce artifacts.

IIRC DVD is limited to a combined maximum bitrate of 10Mbps for the sum of all tracks:  as you increase the number of audio tracks, the maximum bitrate of the video track must reduce.

Well, I don't really have money for a Bluray player right now so I dont really plan on going in that direction at the moment. But the thing is I need a program or software that will burn the DVD with the tracks. I can't just burn the DVD when the only programs I can really get my hands on at the moment will only incorporate one track. If I need to attempt to run the mkv file through multiAVCHD in order to get it to DVD appropriate quality then fine but I need a program that will burn the movie to a disc with the tracks. Perhaps I'll try converting the movie through multiAVCHD again and then burn it to a DVD with ConvertX. My only thing with ConvertX is when the DVD was finalized the movie was a bit boxy in some areas but maybe if its burning a file thats DVD quality it'll look better. If anyone knows of any good programs that burn DVDs with different audio tracks please let me know.

There are some really cheap Bluray players (<$100) that do a very serviceable job playing back HD material from optical disc or usb drive.

Burning a DVD is the easiest part:  use Imgburn with ISO/UDF 1.02 format.

The harder part is transcoding:  if you do it yourself, use DVD9 as you won't be able to get the same quality as the DVD5 without Harmy's source and tweaks.  Before there were single programs to do conversion, you had to use multiple freeware programs, but it gave you fine control over the process.  If you can get the mpeg2 video file and the soundtracks, you can mux them together with Ifoedit into a basic DVD structure.  When using 24fps video, you will also need a program to add the pulldown flags.

As someone else suggested, just get the existing DVD5.
