What an amazing project.

I also recently downloaded the Despecialized Editions. Absolutely fantastic work, they look great. Many, many thanks to Harmy, and those whose work contributed to these!

To the previous post re: Mac users, I had no trouble burning the folders to DVD9 just using the Finder's burn to disc function... discs work fine in my Samsung BD player.

Is there any chance of getting smaller 1-2GB MKV versions? I'm not too bothered about 720p at the moment, I just want a decent quality version of the original trilogy.

I suppose the next best thing is the DVD5 version but it doesn't include all the soundtracks.

I noticed an encoding glitch in SW:

Just before the infamolus "Close the blast doors" sequence, there seems to be some pixelation, as Han and Luke run past the camera.

Yep, i can confirm this. There is definitely some around 1:27:19, and i think i spotted some more during that sequence.

Edit: Whoops, late response.

Those are gorgeous looking! Do you have versions that can cover up more of the disc (in the clear space) and just leave the hole?

That's ridiculous, you might as well just get the DVD if size is a concern. When have you ever seen a full HD movie with an .mkv container be 1gb? If anything, I'd want a larger file with all the audio options muxed in. I'd prefer to put the original .avi file into an mkv container and call it a day... no re-encoding. 

 

 

I wasn't asking for a full HD version (that bit wasn't clear), but rather a re-encode to something like 480p but with all the audio options.  Just wondering thats all since my screen wouldn't really benefit from 720p and space is a concern for me.

harmy(or anyone else), do you have any suggestions for paper/labels to print that disc art on? 

i've never printed disc labels. 

A word of warning: Self-adhesive paper labels suck ass!

I've used them a lot in the past, and nearly all of those discs aren't readable anymore now. It looks like sticking something on one side causes the whole disc to bend slightly (think bimetal, if you remember physics class back in school), making it unreadable. I've peeled the labels back off, and some of the discs were playable after that, so I could rescue some of the data, but I'll be never using that stuff again for sure.

Better get a printer that can print on discs directly (like Canon's Pixma series) and use glossy printable DVD-Rs. They look like factory printed discs after that!

Says the 3 disc cover art is unavailable?
