Do you mean the 4-second gap in the TR47 edition? If so, here ya go: http://users.tpg.com.au/adsl5hum/index.htm

Note that you need to either download it or rip your DVD first and burn a new copy, so you have to have a DVD burner.

Heh....I've got a "method" Huhuhuhuhu...That's cool, Beavis...
Yeah, I got it down to 1 frame, it's still there, BUT is only as bad as a layer change now, which I can live with. I extracted the whole thing as an MPEG2, then edited it in TMPEGDVD. As it has been noted, unfortunetly you WILL NOT be able to get any closer than 1 frame unless you have access to the original, uncompressed footage, OR go back and recapture the whole movie from LD again. You can cut out exactly on the shot change, but cutting back in gives you the last frame of the gap. Whoever did the encoding (TR47 admits it's not his work, he's just selling them), ended up with that last black frame being an I or P or B frame (I can never remember which is which ), so for the file to work as an MPEG2, it HAS to remain. On the whole, I'd definetly say it was worth the little time it took to fix.

http://users.tpg.com.au/adsl5hum/index.htm doesn't work for me

im putting a new fix up, with this fix you wont lose any frames and you will get rid of the 4 sec gap

Cool! Where can we find your fix?

Is it an anamorphic fix? Where can I get it?

will there be a copy of the fix being re-uploaded anytime soon? ?

if someone has the TR47 gap fix for Empire Strikes Back, and can PM it to me, or send it thru email or something, let me know, and i'll host it on my site, and post the link here for all to enjoy. thanks.

MeBeJedi, as far as I know, it COULD be fixed on the master. The problem is that TR47 doesn't HAVE the original capture; he got it from someone else in the encoded format and just sells the copies. When you encode to MPEG2, you need to create reference frames every so often in the video stream. These are the I,B, and P frames. You cannot LEAVE the video stream on one of these, because MPEG really defines motion as the change between these frames. So, to perfectly fix this, you would need to edit the original raw capture, THEN encode to MPEG2.
