Actually, with the new, slightly altered, mission statement of making v3.0 something like what a proper official BD release of the unaltered versions would look like, I was thinking about using soft subs, which would match the theatricals as close as possible in shape and size (can subtitles be rendered from images - I mean, if I cut the subs directly from one frame of a 35mm scan, could that be turned into a soft sub?) and have seamless branching for the crawls/credits of the foreign language versions.
Alternatively, seamless branching could be used for the subs as well and should be easy enough to do for Greedo but for Jabba, i would be a pain in the a.

I’m hoping to work directly with NJVC for the official release this time, so it would depend on what he thinks he could pull off.

I have quite a few idea’s that i would love to see happen if a blu-ray is part of the official release.

  • PIP (BD-J required?) to show despecialization while watching the main movie.
  • included script to swap which subtitles are included on the disc before burning.
  • included script to swap which audio tracks are included on the disc before burning.

in fact, i would love to see the iso stripped of the main .m2ts file and distributed as a much smaller download, then with a script that muxes the mkv into the iso. In theory we could have an iso that is OK to distribute publicly. and also a way to have a normal sized download that gives you the mkv for local playback on a computer or smart-tv, but also a bonus of having all the pieces you need to generate the ISO before burning (But no need to keep the full ISO around taking up HD space).

But all of this takes work obviously. I don’t know if anyone has software that can do the PIP part (requires two video streams in the transport stream i believe, and the second one can be SD). So obviously that is a pie-in the sky dream.

But the rest with the script and all that i would love to see, and would be willing to help with. Sorry if i took this off-topic.

You do realize the kind of support questions we get as things are now is already frightening… What sort of world of hurt are you trying to bring down upon us?

no hurt, it is very realistic to write scripts that can take two known inputs, and reliably create a known output.

Agreed, I just feel it isn’t very realistic that people will follow instructions.
