Is there an MKV version of this, or are the BDs still available?

So, a few weeks ago I downloaded the 25GB version of DM2. Since I don’t have a hardware player (and I prefer digital unless I’m going to archive it), I decided to make an x265 encode with some light filtering and just the AC3 Cantonese and DTS-HD english tracks.

I figured some people might like to have it, so I uploaded it to MyAirBridge:

If someone downloads it, I’d like to ask them to seed it as I can´t do it myself (uploading speeds suck here).

Anyway, have fun!

So, I tried a few of the Google Drive links, but they are always down.

Then I tried the uloz links with the recommended tool. Both times, after completing the download, I’d try extracting the folder only to get a CRC error.

I used to have a MySpleen account but forgot my password and the security question reply, so that’s not an option either.

So, what are my options? Wait for it to be uploaded to 1337x?

The first post of this thread, there’s a link to the “Ultimate Introductory Guide” (which now points to “HanDuet’s Guide”). Follow those steps to find alternative mega links.

Mega didn’t work for me: the daily download limit is so small I can’t even get one 900MB file without being stopped at about the halfway point.

‘MEGAsync’ + VPN = FTW

I never used MEGAsync. How does it work, and why does it need a VPN?

So, I was looking for a good version of “Drunken Master 2” and found out that every single official version is bad in a variety of ways.

Then I stumbled across a thread here, where it was claimed this restoration was the only one with the original Cantonese audio, a full ending and the proper AR.

It was said to be available at the AsianDVD forum, but that doesn’t seem to exist anymore.

Does anyone know of alternate sites to get it from?

As far as I recall, Super-Resolution only works on footage with a certain kind of aliasing which is sort-of where the detail "gets hidden".  It also works best on footage without lots of  motion, as that can mess up the temporal portions of the algorithm.

In most cases, you end up having to rely on image interpolators, and I have never seen any that do a good enough job at magnifications higher than, about 250%. The best one I've seen for video is an Avisynth one called nnedi3, but it is slow.And you still need to follow it up with some kind of detail-faking script.

You can also go nuts and try some glacial-speed single image interpolators like the ones on this page:

In order to check for interlacing, it's better to use a scene with lots of motion. In any case, as far as I know DV is always interlaced. I am quite rusty in the matter as it's been a while since my last encode, but I can take a look if you want, Harmy. As a general rule of thumb, the best quality option is probably bobbing with QTGMC and then doing SelectEven() if you need to go back to the original framerate:

That can be quite slow, though. A good alternative would be straight-up deinterlacing using TDeint with NNEDI3, TMM and Vinverse:

http://bengal.missouri.edu/~kes25c/TMMv1.zip

http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Vinverse

Like so:

source loading and pre-deinterlacing filters
Interp = nnedi3()
Deinted=TDeint(type=1,edeint=Interp,emask=TMM())
vinverse()
rest of the filterchain

TDeint's type=1 interpolation works best on animated content, for real-life footage type=2 might be a better idea.

For even faster results, you might want to try Yadif: http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Yadif

To load the file in Avisynth, do as Chewtobacca said.

I have just looked at a few scenes of the MKV, and am completely floored: the quality is simply unbelievable. Amazing work, guys. :)

I did, but my question was whether the MKV there was the recently fixed one or if it had the nameless Track 4. That's a moot point now, though, since it's no longer there. :(

Is the current version up on MySpleen (id 14263) still the one with the nameless Track 4? If so, how can I find the fixed version on tehparadox?

Will v2.0 have an .MKV version? My apologies if the question has been answered, but I went a few pages back and found nothing on that matter.

Question pretty much says it all. I remember that some efforts were started a while ago to cut and recombine all three movies into a watchable whole, but  never paid much attention to them. Now, however, I'm kind of in the mood to watch them sometime, so I was wondering if any of those efforts eventually bore fruit as enjoyable movies to watch. Which of those edits would you recommend me and why?

Then I'm better off grabbing the versions from Vimeo since at least two of them have 1280x720 versions, right? Also, what os the order in which to watch them: Building Empire-->Returning to Jedi-->Begins?

Before YouTube shut it down, there was an ~1.2GB, 7-hour version floating around there. Was it an official edit?

Harmy, at around 1:53:50 in ROTJ, as Han Solo is running away from the bunker, he becomes ghosted for a fraction of a second.

Also, MySpleen seems to only have actual disk versions, to be burned and played on standalones. Is there any chance you could release plain MP4 or MKV versions, without the compatibility restrictions posed by cimpliance to the AVCHD standard and playable as-is on any computer?
