WOWOW Star Wars Saga (Released) — Page 2

That’s indeed huge for a TV broadcast. Although you could run it through something like TSMuxer or TSDoctor to remove all the padding.

Video only (without any audio) size of my MPEG2 and AVC broadcast recordings of EP4 is around 14GB, so 18GB, without audio, is still a good size; anyway, I’d leave it “as is”, untouched - at least, RARed in small chunks.

Even if it’s 2011, it could still be a bit better than the overly DNR’ed Blu-ray, isn’t true?

otherwise, if you can torrent it directly to me or another member, this seems spleen worthy and I’d be happy to upload.

I downloaded some parts so far, and extracted them; I watched the first minutes, and the quality seems very good - so, can’t say if it’s 2004 or 2011.

Audio is AAC 2.0, japanese - no bitrate info, but I suspect it’s quite low, leaving more space for the video, hence more quality!

I’d like to make a slight emendation, since I also checked the TS. The audio is actually AAC 5.1. (It’s probably 2.0 during the commercials at the beginning at the end, though.)

All right, the prequel trilogy just showed up on the schedule. But on WOWOW Cinema, not on the main WOWOW Prime.

It is the 2011 version, and it’s up!

We can’t have everything… at least, it missed from our HDTV collection, and, still, could be useful for restoration purposes.

Yeah, and maybe The Force Awakens will have the IMAX version of the escape from Jakku in this broadcast.

And I’ve loved every pixel of it.

I added some info in this thread, first post: http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Star-Wars-SDTV-and-HDTV-digital-broadcast-database/id/17744/page/1

It is confirmed, it’s the 2011 BD version; quality is very good, albeit don’t know if it’s better than the BD; seems a little less blocky than my MPEG-2 HDTV version, but at the same time less defined… it has better shadow details, though!

ESB has been capped, I’ll see what I can do with it, probably similar to ANH.
RotJ caps tomorrow (same time as my Detective Conan but I think the system is dual-tuner, so doesn’t look like I’ll run into trouble).

Great news Molly!

Hope everything will go well…

Molly, thank you kindly for doing what you can. It is most appreciated.

It looks like it went off without a hitch, I haven’t been able to check the RotJ cap because it’s only 46% downloaded to my friend’s server but the other cap went off fine.

I wish to say thanks again to Molly, an incredible help in this “business”!

I could theoretically post ESB and RotJ if anyone wanted but maybe it should be left in the hands of someone who’s actually known around the Spleen?

Anyway, I’ve got them tanked and far as I know they’re still uploaded elsewhere, so…

Maybe you can give it to nightstalkerpoet, he already uploaded SW on the Spleen and is willing to upload TESB and ROTJ.

Step ahead of you. I gave it to both him and -^…^- as soon as I had the capablity. 😉

Better that he post them, for consistency.
