We've received intel on the identity of a Team Olie member who received said log. Log fabrication status remains unclear.
So what, if any, changes would be added to ESB 2.5?

There are a few problems in 2.0, which I'm sure would be fixed. I'm not sure if Harmy wants us blabbing them to the world, because it does kinda ruin the magic (you can't unsee them).
Plus, you know, Thai dub, improved subtitles. At least that's my area of concern. No changes to English audio that I know of at all.
He has also discussed using more 35mm footage in the next version. I think the upscaled footage in ESB looks pretty seamless, though.
There are some typos in the credits as well. And people will always find things they want to tweak about the color. Right or wrong, in general I prefer how Harmy's ESB color looks compared to every other version I've seen of the film.
changes? Lots! however they will be small ones that most make not even notices and IMO that is what makes it great.
what kind?
lasers, shadows snowspeeders re composites shots
really looking forward to it and all the work Harmy make have plan after SW. Its a labor of love for him.

As am I, Troy. I have a huge love for this technical stuff with A/V.
Also if still looking for AOTC and TPM HDTV, check the spleen.

Oh! Thanks. I forgot that that was there. Yes. I got them. Need to find something else to put there.

Hi all, new to the forums and the Despecialised Editions. I've downloaded the AVCHD versions, but is it worth downloading the MKVs? Are they better quality, and can they be burned to Blu-Ray as easily as the AVCHD ISOs? Thanks :)

1: "Worth it" is subjective, but in my opinion - definitely. The MKV's are better in every way. If you have a Blu-Ray burner and a blank BD (the MKV is Blu Ray only, whereas the AVCHD is for burning to a DVD to be played back on a BD player - it's for people who aren't able to burn to Blu-Ray) there's no reason to opt for the AVCHD version over the MKV release, the only downside is the additional amount of time it takes to DL a larger file.
2: Yes, it's just as easy in my opinion - but it requires a few more steps.
Both tsMuxer and Imgburn are free programs. So, it's just a matter of reading and following those two sets of directions and clicking a few buttons, there's no background knowledge or "figuring stuff out" required. It's straight forward, but in the event that you do have a question you can just post it here and somebody'll answer it pretty quickly.
Or, if your BD player supports playback of .MKV files from a thumbdrive (it needs to support the NTFS file structure and also MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 23.976/24 FPS [video] and DTS-HD-MA [audio]) you can go that route and bypass the entire disc creation process. My Oppo does, most don't. I still prefer to playback from disc though (there's no difference obviously, quality-wise, I just like having the disc itself.)
Very useful info, thanks a lot! I've been able to plug my portable hard drive into my BD player and watch them this way, but I'll give making my own Blu-Ray discs a try. :)

If the issue is that your Blu-ray player doesn't support MKV, you can always use that same TsmuxerGUI program to convert them to M2TS and do it via hard-drive. Nice to have the discs in cases and with labels, though.

2: Yes, it's just as easy in my opinion - but it requires a few more steps.
- Once you've DL'd the MKV, use tsMuxer to create BDMV and Certificate folders (the two folders you'll use to create the BD). Follow this guide (by the way - for Step #2 in those directions - when you do that on your end you'll want to check every box you see, there's not need to leave any unchecked. Also, ignore the "note" at the end of those directions, just follow steps 1 - 5, ignore all else.)
- Once that is complete you'll have the two folders you need to create the BD using Imgburn. Follow this guide.

Who are you, and what did you do with Stinky-Dinkins?
That was my alter ego Caitlyn Dinkins.
That makes perfect sense.

My Blu-Ray player is fairly new, should be ok. Thanks for your advice, this forum is very friendly :)

I like.
Is it taboo to ask if there is a rough idea of when v2.5 might get released?
I tried searching but couldn't find anything and this thread is 120 pages making it difficult to figure out :/
No, but it is a bit of an inside joke. We've had one estimate that was wrong by over a year. Basically, "when it's done" is your most accurate answer. If you want inaccurate answers, I can set you up with that too.
Right now, Harmy is very busy with real life, and his priority is getting Jedi up to 2.x-quality, and even that may be a long wait. Only after that's done will you see any movement toward 2.5 on ESB.
Thanks, CatBus, that's exactly right.
CatBus is the receptionist at Harmy's office, answering questions on his behalf whilst Harmy is busy with important business matters.
Gotcha, so don't hold my breath :)
Thanks!
Anyone else having issues streaming the .mkv of ESB v2?
I use PS3 Media Server to stream to my Oppo and I just watched Star Wars with no issues and tested RotJ likewise. But ESB starts stuttering pretty much right after the crawl like it can't buffer the file.
Not sure why it's doing that since SW 2.5 is the same size.
“This cannot be! Is… Is it an omen?”
