So is it Ian's voice in the new emperor scene? The old emperor never bothered me but the old voice is pretty lame

I'm sorry, but that is total blasphemy...

I'm not English, but the original emperor scene is bloody brilliant!

OK, well I can finally chime in on this project now that I have SEEN it properly. I watched it on my new 46" Samsung 650 series LCD with a PS3 and it is just phenomenal! Ady, I'm so glad that you're part of this community. We all owe you so much and it is difficult to really express how much respect I have for your efforts (... a lot...)

Anyway, keep up the great work. I can't wait for the AVCHD of Empire!

Something to do with "Pwnage" is being reposted...

I burned to dual layer on my MacBook 2.4GHz C2D using ImgBurn in Windows 2000 via VMware Fusion. I probably could have used Toast or Disk Utility in OS X no problem, but was interested to see if I could do it through Windows virtualization. Worked great without any problems. Nice to have ImgBurn on my Mac! Anyway, I don't have a PS3 or an HDTV, so I used VLC in OS X to play the .m2ts file on the burned disc and it worked flawlessly. My MacBook scaled it down to 720p for its screen and it looks beautiful. No problems switching through the audio streams either. Ady, nice job mate!

So, on a Mac, burn the ISO to disc and play the .m2ts file in VLC. You'll probably need at least a newer dual core Intel Mac to play smoothly...

Thanks for posting those great audio samples. The more I listened to them, the more I like the idea of having a warts and all audio option on the final product. I'm getting more and more excited about this project. Let us know if you need any sort of assistance...

San Francisco. May 1977. I was 7. Stood in line for what seemed like forever to a little kid. I have memory burn not from the Star Destroyer passing overhead, but from the first closeup of Vader on the Tantive IV. Everyone in the theater was cheering loudly for him. I thought to myself "This might be something I'll like." I was hooked. And then, GL went insane and the rest is history...

Awesome project! Looking forward to this one. Your 8mm project is incredible. Let me know if you need someone to post to usenet...

It's going to be a while...

Both my 'Story' projects are on myspleen for those who like torrents. Not quite sure of the seeding now, as they are pretty old releases. I need to do another round of usenet posting. I can always be reached by PM. I've never turned down a request for sending any of my projects out...

The sample looks and sounds great! Looking forward to the whole enchilada...

All of the trailers are included on the 4 disc EditDroid Special Features set, including professionally telecined Revenge and Return trailers, and anamorphic IIRC...

 

 Where the hell can you download this set?  I haven't been able to find it anywhere!

I posted to usenet a quite a while ago. Maybe time for a repost?

edskizzorhands said:Great now it's saying I need a Mpeg 2 codec? Which apple want 20 bucks for! Is this worth it? Also, what is the best quality FCP compatible format to convert it too. I want to keep as much quality as I can.

The MPEG2 codec is included with FCP. If you paid for FCP and have a valid license it should not be an issue. Otherwise, you're on your own. The best quality FCP compatible codec would be SheerVideo.

The best news I've heard in a long while! Good to have you back on the job...

Use MPEG Streamclip to export your ripped VOB(s) or m2v(s) to your choice of codecs that FCP can work with (Sheer, DV, Motion JPEG, Amimation, etc...). Create a new timeline in FCP with your chosen codec, frame rate, frame size, etc. and edit away...

I could not possibly care less about how much money a film makes and "competition" with other films. Respect WALL-E for the beautiful film that it is, or don't. I loved it...

And yes, the new Trek film will be one big retarded CGI cartoon. How could it not be? That's what the action genre has become...

Agreed. Getting back on topic... Ady, how's the progress coming along?

WALL-E is by far the best movie (of any type) I have seen in a very very very long time, period. It's probably a little too intelligent or subtle for a lot of people...

Ady, PLEASE don't throw this project away. The thought of CC OT in HD is very nice...

Sounds good, ady. Can't wait. Thanks for all you do for everyone...

No, there will only be one disc authored for this project. Thanks for the interest and I hope I'll be able to actually get this thing done someday...

DVD-9. The DVD-ROM portion and special features are so stout that dual layer is the only option. It's actually going to be a struggle to get it all to fit onto a DVD-9...

I would NOT recommend DV. The compression is horrible. I've used the Photo JPEG codec and edited in FCP my two "Story" releases. I chose it because it was the best looking codec that I could edit in real time on my old G4 iMac. I think the quality was excellent even after going to MPEG2. Photo JPEG set to max quality takes up roughly the same amount of space as DV and looks a ton better. Ideally, you should probably use SheerVideo (lossless codec, but $$). I wish there was HuffYUV on the Mac! Other than that, just experiment with some of the Motion JPEG codecs and see which one works best for you and your system.

I have the Epson R380. It's awesome. It's the printer I used to print the Story of Empire on the Taiyo Yuden water shield disc / insert I sent you last year. Excellent quality!
