Thanks ady. Before you do the final encode of the next one, I can help you calculate and get you an encode bitrate that is as close to 7.95gb as possible.
Hey Ady,
I was wondering if you would consider doing another re-encode of the video portion leaving everything else the same. The size of the release leaves about 530mb of room left on a DVD9 which is a significant amount of space that can be used for the video.
Did you use Megui to do the encode and what profile / x264 settings did you use? How large was the final video before you did the x264 encode? Just trying to squeeze every last drop of quality out... The current release is 7200kbs video bitrate. You can probably get to 8000 if you used up the rest of the 530mb.
I know it takes a long time to re-encode and I'd offer to do it if I had the files or can get them from you...

Any plans for torrents of the AVHCD DVD9 versions?
Sorry, no plans for torrents... once they are available, anyone can torrent them...

Thanks for getting the full 13gb versions of the prequels up! I've been waiting for months to get my hands on those.
lithiumus,
I also like the fact that you're upping blu-ray compatible versions, that is much appreciated. I'm in the middle of getting TESB right now. Any e.t.a. on ROTJ and are you planning on doing the same for I, II, and III?
ROTJ is currently encoding. Should be ready this week and I'll post it as soon as it's ready. We've split the duties, I did 4 - 6 and someone else has agreed to do 1 -3 and they have already started encoding so you'll see them soon!

I've noticed that wookiegroomers Episode 1 & 2 are currently being postes to a.b.hdtv.x264 by an anonymous poster. I'm hoping that they post episode 3 as well!
I suspect the Episode 3 should be completed by Thursday. I promised someone that I would encode and post Wookie Groomer's releases in AVCHD format if they would post the first 3 episodes. They have graciously taken the 4-6 days to do so I'll pass along the thanks as I'm sure I'm not alone as I missed the first 3 as well.
I'm sure there are concerns about re-encoding the excellent Wookie Groomer releases (thanks Wookie Groomer by the way) into a PS3 and BluRay Compatible AVHCD DVD9 disc but I've tweaked the x264 settings to achieve as much transparancy as possible to retain as much of the Wookie Groomer encode as possible. Of course there is some loss of quality but its negligable and usually requires still caps and enlargement to see.
Anyway, I'll be posting Episode 4 today and likely Episode 5 this week. I haven't started encoding Episode 6 and the encode with my settings take more than 28+ hours to encode...
