I made links, knock on wood, but I’m not sure what use these would be…

OK, the question came up, is any of TFA 16:9 on WOWOW. No - it’s all 2.35, sorry.

I’ve seen a few tests where MPEG2 is better at maintaining all details across the picture, while AVC/H.264 better maintains detail that the human eye is likely to see. That is why smaller things like shadow detail and potentially background items that are not the main focus may be better preserved. While you’d imagine that these smaller details aren’t as necessary, they add an extra level of depth and are very useful if you need to upscale, since the extra detail in those areas provide better approximations for what the image should look like at a larger size.

http://www.streaminglearningcenter.com/articles/h264-vs-mpeg-2-quality.html shows what I mean - look at the buildings in the background and the people in the crowd. That website does not show them at the same bitrate, but you can still see how the bitrate distribution differs.

Preferred Saga:
1/2: Hal9000
3: L8wrtr
4/5: Adywan
6-9: Hal9000

TFA: confirmed, no IMAX scene; has hardcoded subtitles, with top of the two lines in picture; quality is really high, colors seems the same of the BD, hence I don’t know if/how this could be useful for restoration purposes; but, still a nice addition to the Star Wars HDTV collection!

Thanks again to Molly, for infinite patience!

Will the TFA capture eventually make the usual rounds for those of us just wanting to have it for the collection?

In Germany SKY HD aired the OT some weeks ago.

Obviously audio is german only. Sky logo is outside the picture, but german subtitles are burnt in.
I did not capture it myself and I am not sure if this is a reencode or the actual stream.

If there is any interest I can upload samples or the whole trilogy to Usenet.

Following Mediainfo data, this is a reencode, as you can see on the encoder used, x264.

FreaQ, is TPM available from the recent German broadcast? Even if it’s a transcode, it could be useful to me.

Sorry to bump an old post - Did anyone download the WOWOW 2016 from Usenet - I don’t know if it’s because of the non-standard characters in the filenames, but the PARS don’t seem to work.

Any help (here or by PM) would be greatly appreciated!

I still have the original files (OT), but I don’t know where I’d upload it this time around.

Thanks Molly, I wouldn’t ask you to go out of your way to upload this especially, as it’s more of a curiosity than anything else. Thanks to SnooPac and a_o as well for the PM Support - it appears that the Usenet upload is broken somehow.

I’m currently trying to grab this from “The Organ”, and I can see there is two seeders so I’m fairly hopeful to get hold of this at some point.

Well at the moment I’d like to watch a vhs copy. Theatrical and special edition would be nice. It’s been a long time since Ive seen a vhs and I’m thinking of making a video comparing vhs and bluray for a YouTube cause there doesn’t seem to be any.

Thanks for trying to help,but I already use quickpar and multipar often and they cannot open the par2 files.

It must be something to do with the unicode japanese characters.There are 16 par2 recovery files,total of 1.41GB and they are all reporting as damaged blocks.

They seem to come down fine and also the pars from empire have the same problem.

I tried opening them in a virtualbox with xp after installing east asian language support and they still would not open.

This is the name of one of them スター・ウォーズ エピソード4-新たなる希望(吹替版)WOWOW2016.vol000+01.par2 even though it looks slightly different on this web page compared to in explorer.

I also tried renaming them to short english names but no joy!

Can anyone help?

Thanks very much!
