Hey y'all, been lurking around the forum for a while trying to wrap my mind around the whole process. Anybody still have any Spleen invites left? Is there a place to find people with invites available?

And how come the MKV of Star Wars 2.0 is nearly twice as large as the AVCHDs of all the 1.0 releases?

This topic has alrady addressed that. Here is a brief recap:

With either the right playback gear OR the the right eyes/vision compression in the data packets is highly noticable via artifacts, color depth and so on...

Harmy is spending what may amount to thousands of hours, to have it ruined in the absolute final phase in order to save a few GB would be a huge crime. It's 2013 not 1999, rather hard to believe there are those concerned with an extra 10-15GB.  Regardless of the compression method there is ALWAYS loss.

Luckily for mankind Harmy agrees and his efforts will not be comprimised by a small faction thats seems to be only concerned with getting 2.1 or 2.5 [I like 2.5 better] small enough to fit on a phone or some other device with a teeny tiny display. Don't get why anyone woudld want to see it that way myself, as this is meant to be seen in full glory on a large screen. Kudos to harmy for not yielding to the faction who seems to desire a result worse than what Lucus would allow us.

Those who for whatever reason want smaller file size there are plenty of free tools that will allow you to do (ruin) that ON YOUR OWN and google/yahoo/duckduckgo/etc can be your friend unless you are too lazy of course....

dblake83, I really don't believe that TK-423 was advocating for a smaller file. He's asking legitimate questions about an apparent discrepancy in file size between versions. Please don't jump down his throat or assume he wants anything other than clarification. Let's try to keep the dialog civil here.

Hi Harmy, 

I'm just as eager to play the fruits of your labour!

I am d/ling as we speak from uloz.to

However, I noticed that parts 47 & 53 of DEED_v2.0 is not loading.

I get the "Bad gateway 502" message. 

Can you please possibly reupload these files?

Thanks in advance.

One of my favorite parts of the Despecialized Star Wars is the music only track, it really delivers a unique experience to watch without dialog. I haven't gotten a chance to watch the entire film with the music only track but the parts I have seen are very good. I would highly recommend that you extend the same treatment to ESB and ROTJ

I'm downloading the current version (v2.0) right now. I discovered the annoyance that is the CAPTCHA. For all yall, it's the thing that prompts you to "retype these letters" in JDownloader every 10-seconds.

 

Even after I go through the settings and check "Disable Automatic CAPTCHA" it still does it! This is a real buzzkill. I can't just sit at my computer for 10hrs typing this over and over again. It keeps interrupting the download.

Anyone know how to do away with it for good?

Disabling the automatic CAPTCHA will do the opposite of what you want. jDownloader can automatically fill in the CAPTCHA for you for some sites, which that option disables. For some sites, however, the CAPTCHA has to be entered by a human. If you don't want to have to enter the CAPTCHA, you're going to have to download from a place that doesn't use them.

 

A place such as...

Harmy (and some other fan editors) get some love on Wired:

Using my interpretation of the definition of a fan edit, Harmy (and Jambe) are not fan editors.

Remember that, just like discussions of "personal canon", no one really cares about personal definitions.

Well, "editing" is also the pure labor of actually assembling the footage. So it can also be completely independent from any creativity ;)
