Just downloaded it and I’m scanning through.
Was there a reason that the updated X-wing approach shot wasn’t used?Ugh, are you kidding me? That’d be my bad. I honestly can’t see the difference, even now, so even though I looked at everything, I did not notice anything there. I’m genuinely good with leaving it as is unless you feel like a substantial improvement is being missed out on.
Honestly it’s fine to leave it, I would just put the update in Starlight at some point anyway.
You probably don’t recognize me because of the red arm.

Any update on the 720p?

The 720p suffered a problem, which I saw when I woke up, though I know its cause (subtitles cause it to not encode entire video) so I’m reencoding now (and will mux subtitles in afterward). Hopefully no more than a day.
JEDIT: Handbrake takes a long time to encode, but the results are unparalleled.

I appreciate your honesty. I apologize once again, though I mean it as a compliment that both versions seem perfectly seamless to me. I don’t feel like anything at all is missing from what has been put out there the past 2 days, using the original version of your shot.

Sounds fair to me. I’ll check again later. Hope all is going well so far with the prequel trilogy re-edits!

Better than I’d feared the day before yesterday, anyway. It’s doable, and I have got Episodes I and III where I want them, other than plugging in video improvements from NeverarGreat, DominicCobb, and/or Sir Ridley. (Crawls, day-for-night scene, Boleyn footage, etc.) They ought to be a very worthwhile V4.3/5 in order to put this baby to bed.

Yes, it too is located within the Google Drive folder linked to on the ‘red… it’ site. It’s a .wav file, as pure of an output as I can provide.

Collipso, would you be so kind and help me out with the audio track muxing? Do I need to convert the .wav to some other extension (PCM?) you talked about earlier?

So is the 720 version in the folder now not v2.1?

It’s the ‘tiny encode’ version, about 1GB. The conventional 720p version will be about 9GB.

I’ve been away from the forums for awhile, and wow, excited to hear v2.1 is done. Yay! can’t wait to watch it! Downloading it now. I am glad the disk art is available on the google drive too for those who print on discs like me!

It needs to be .w64 to load in mkvtoolnix - I can’t 100% remember how I did that last time around, if I just changed the file extension or ran it through eac3to or what. I think there’s a post of mine earlier in this thread where I talked about doing that with v2.0 in more detail.

I’m not even seeing it in the folder. I don’t think it is actually up yet.

Found my earlier post about the WAV/W64 thing - turns out I used eac3to after all, and that it actually doesn’t work in mkvtoolnix either way, but tsmuxer works fine once you have it in W64 format:
Also, the PCM file is a WAV larger than 4GB, which I’m honestly not sure how you created as WAV has a 4GB limit.
I converted it to W64 using eac3to, which allows you to mux it into a Blu-Ray folder with tsmuxer. I’m making the disc now so I can’t confirm that it works, but it’s super easy to convert the WAV to W64 for anyone that wants to use the PCM track but can’t get it to work.
Download eac3to and stick it in a folder that has a relatively simple path (mine is D:\Editing\eac3to).
Do the same for the PCM WAV file - it might be a little easier to rename it, too. I renamed it to TFA.wav.
Open up your command prompt and type in the eac3to directory, then the original WAV, then the new .w64, and hit enter and let it run.
For example, here’s what I typed into command prompt:
D:\Editing\eac3to\eac3to.exe D:\TFA.wav D:\TFA.w64Basically, the syntax is, first point it to eac3to, then point it to the input file, then designate the output file.
Then you should be able to load the PCM into tsmuxer with no issues.
For some reason, mkvtoolnix can’t see the .w64 and won’t open the .WAV, but you can probably mux it in tsmuxer then remux it back into an MKV with mkvtoolnix once the .w64 is part of an m2ts instead of on its own.

Update/correction:
The WAV file HAL has provided with v2.1 does not open in eac3to, but does open in mkvtoolnix - after freezing the program for a few minutes.
I just clicked “multiplex” and it seems to be taking forever but working. Will update this post when it finishes (or crashes).
JEDIT: Muxing failed with mkvtoolnix.

The 8.5GB 720p version should appear within 15 minutes, thus concluding this whole sha-bang.

So converting the .wav is a must? I just downloaded MKVToolNix GUI and googling tutorials, haha! I can’t understand why adding an extra audio track in a video file can be so difficult.

If someone were to send me a converted version that would work for most intents and purposes, I can replace the wav file.

Haha, I’ve been reading and watching tutorials for MKVToolNix, eac3to, mkvmerge all day now and I am still very lost. This has become quite a challenge and now I’m willing to see it through. I’ll report back if I manage to insert the lossless audio into the mkv.

Yeah, not sure what’s different between the 2.0 and 2.1 WAV files, but I can’t get anything to play nice with the 2.1 WAV.
