Nice job !

I'm beginning to work on Empire strikes back : "L'empire contre-attaque".

There are no french subs on this movie. The work is to redone the original french crawl and the french ending credits.

Here is a video of the french crawl. There are 3 sources : the official FOX VHS, the first LD release and a VHS from a tv broadcast.

The TV VHS seems to be less cropped than the others.

The french ending credits are only available on the TV VHS. Curiously on the official VHS and on the LD, it's the english credits. The quality is not very good and it will be complicated to read all the credits written with a small font.

The release of french ESB will be first based on Harmy Deed V1.0.

Perhaps you should do comparison screenshot in order to see if the difference is remarkable ?

It would be good if you can make the list of all these differences.

Yes, I plan to capture the audio.

But I don't know if there is a real french mono mix. It's maybe only the stereo track downmixed. I'm not sure that there is a different french mono mix like the english mono mix.

Maybe you should get this into Puggo's hands.

 I have already ask him ! But for the moment he has no time. Maybe later...

Here are the first 20 minutes of the 16mm reel :

The film is projected on a wall and it was filmed with my camcorder, so the quality is not very good. And after 13 minutes, something happened on the projector and the image becomes a little fuzzy.
It's just to show how the movie looks. I will make the same thing for ESB.

Bravo !

I have this now, but um...it's 9.28 GB, which is too big for a DL DVD, so...can I only watch it on my computer? :/ I was all set to burn it and watch on my PS3, but it seems I can't.

I'm watching the movie on my PS3, but I burn it on a Blu-Ray disc. If you don't have one you have to recompress the movie in order to fit a dvd or you can split the movie in multiple parts with tsMuxer.

johnlocke2342, too bad for your father :(

Good work !

I'm also working on a cover using the same poster. I'll post it soon.

It's nice to see you together !

No, there is nothing more after "FUJIFILM-SAFETY"

That's what I found about FUJI 16mm film : 

Fuji: Generally good fading characteristics, but some of the older stuff can fade slowly, tending toward the Purple. Marked "Fuji Safety" or "Fuji Film Safety". There is a date code with the 2 digits representing the year of manufacture. 

More about Fuji:  Fuji had a competitive process with SP that was marked HP, approximately the same years. It, too, fares a bit better than regular Fuji.  Fuji changed chemistry in 1982 or 1984 along with Eastman and has since gotten the same excellent low-fade characteristics.  Beware 1978-79 Fuji. There is some weird chemical that causes it to grow mold and deteriorate wildly. Can be nasty. (Thanks to Eric Grayson).

The reels are FUJI prints :

And I'm amazed at how it doesn't look faded at all! I assume that the first film is an LPP print? (Empire, on the other hand seems a little pinkish...)

 

I'm not very familiar with theses terms (LPP print, Ib technicolor...). Is there a method to identify what type of print it is ?

Ok, I'm changing the way I share the movie.

For the moment the torrent is off. I'm uploading the files to mega. Then I will share the link in private and I will restart the torrent.

I will share the mega link on sunday. Sorry for that...

It seems that when peoples are downloading, only one person take 100% of my upload bandwidth and the others almost nothing.

I don't know why and I don't know what to do to share my upload between the leechers. Can someone maybe help me.

I'm sharing the file with a PC and µTorrent 3.3

johnlocke2342 said:

Ok. For this release, you should maybe upload it on a file sharing website like mega or rapid share, etc. and post the link(s) on tehparadox at least until a few people are able to seed the torrent because it's very slow. That's what Harmy did for DeEd v2.

I'll see. I know I dont have a fast connection. I won't have the time to do it until next week.

I hope the people that are downloading the file from myspleen will seed the torrent when they will have finished.

It's awesome, Marvins! By the way, did you finish mixing our translations for Harmy's featurette? I tweaked mine and posted a link to my subs on Harmy's thread.

I have finish it tonight. I will read it another time tomorrow, because I want a very good translation. My wife helped me a lot to do great sentences, so I think it will be great subtitles.

I think I succeed to put the files on myspleen.

This is a full french version of Harmy’s STAR WARS - DESPECIALIZED EDITION REMASTERED. It is based on the v2.1 version.

File format : AVCHD folder, 720p/23.976fps

It include :

• A full french intro with a redone crawl based on the 1977 french crawl

• Full french ending credits redone based on the 1977 french ending credits

• French subtitles on Greedo sequence based on a french 16mm reel.

It also include :

• the original french stereo track from the GOUT

• a 5.1 audio track based on the 2.0 GOUT track decoded in Dolby Surround + the LFE track from hairy_hen 70mm mix.

• a 5.1 audio track based on the 2004 DVD release

• a 2.0 audio track from the first Gold LD release

• a 2.0 audio track from the THX LD release

• a 2.0 audio track from the rip of the first french TV release

I want to thanks a lot for their work or help : Harmy, Laserschwert, ilovewaterslides and ,^…^,

The only sequence that is not full quality is Greedo sequence, because I take the sequence from Harmy’s release which was already compress, I modify it to add french subtitles and I recompress it using x264.

All the others sequences are not recompressed and or the same quality as Harmy’s DE Remastered release.

Later will come a Blu-ray version with menus, bonus and a full quality Greedo sequence. But don’t wait for it, it will certainly take a certain time.

So here it is, “La Guerre des Etoiles”.

I'm ready to release a first version of the movie.

I'm trying to upload it to myspleen. I will announce when I have succeeded (hopefully tonight !)

We can maybe mix our translations. 

Harmy said:

As to adding subtitles - it would be good to have subtitles in different languages for it for the BD as well, so if you guys do make subs for this, it would be great, if you could send them to me :-)

I already have made a french translation for the doc. I finish the timing of the subtitles and I will sent the subs to you.

If there is interest in something similar for the audio side of things, I'll see what I can come up with.

Yes please.

 

Seconded.

Thirded.

Forced.

Your counting feels very forced.

Fifthed of course !

Actually I'm doing the new subtitles based on the 16mm reel.

After that I will release a first version of the movie, certainly as AVCHD.

Then after the release of Harmy's Blu-ray, I will release a french Blu-ray.

I'm not sure how to share the files. I think I will put them on myspleen, but I have never make a torrent in my life, so I must first learn how to do this. Or maybe If anyone can help...

I remember matching the typeface way back for the French release, the type family was Helvetica.

Do you own a French release ?
