Hi! Where can I get the subtitle files of the three movies, I need American Spanish and Castillan, and if it’s possible, where can I get the dub audio for the three movies as well. Thanks!

Hello there! Can someone provide me these tracks:
TRACK 2) 2.0 DTS-HD-MA [English] (1977 35mm stereo mix)
TRACK 2) 2.0 DTS-HD-MA [English] (1980 mix)
TRACK 2) 2.0 DTS-HD-MA [English] (1983 mix)

Note: I downloaded the ACVHD version of the three movies I want those tracks, I know I can extract from the mkv but that’s a big file. Thanks!

Unless I’m missing something, I only see 1 of those tracks on the mkv.

Here’s what I see with MKVToolNix:

This is not the right thread for English audio.

Hey, can you please shoot me a PM containing the Italian subtitles (.srt file for the .mkv) for The Empire Strikes Back, DE v2.0 and Return of the Jedi, DE v2.5? Thanks!

Just some observations from an interested reader:

The slightly dimmer white and increased transparency of the new subtitles look great to me.
However, I’m not as keen on the narrower font. It looks somewhat squashed to me.

Just to update you on the progress on this: This may be addressed in the final version after all. After repeating the size testing, it looks like the increased weight at the same height makes the subtitles look too big even in my crappy small screen/big distance worst-case test scenario. So, keeping the weight the same, you don’t have to reduce the font size very much before the “lines get too wide” problem goes away, and then you don’t need a semicondensed font to work around that anymore.

Small adjustments make a big difference here. Consider the subtitles a long skinny rectangle near the bottom of the screen. If you reduce the font size, say, 10%, that doesn’t change the height of the box very much in absolute terms, but it dramatically reduces the width of the box. That’s kinda what I’m tinkering with here.

Okay, here’s some more current screenshots of the new no-longer-condensed font. Current version 10.0 is on top, new version 10.1-beta is on bottom, and they are all clickable for larger image. You’ll see that the new font is actually smaller in terms of point size but at the same time still thicker in terms of stroke width. I did check this out on my classic “small TV, sitting far away” test, and it still checked out as comfortably readable, so I think it’s close to an even trade. Actually I think the previous size was a little extra large to assist with the DVD format, which used to be more of a thing around here, but the new one works well on DVD downscales too. There are still the font scaling scripts for less common cases where larger or smaller text would be preferable.

The SDH subtitles have also undergone a couple of revisions. I’d initially done them with a black outline and the black background, but that was too distracting. I finally just made the black background a little more opaque and dropped the outline.

This is still Noto Sans, correct? I really like the new version, much more readable and feels more natural (insofar as a subtitle can feel natural) to me. Excellent choice!

Author

Yes, still Noto Sans, Semibold. Trying hard to stick with that family for consistency between scripts (Cantonese mixes Latin and Chinese characters like crazy, etc), but we’ll see about that 😉

At this point it’s a race between Harmy and my Arabic translator as to when something big enough happens to trigger a new release.

I just posted a new thread in the Technical HOWTO forum about torrents, as it may apply to distributing the next version of Project Threepio. Anyone with expertise in the matter please consider adding your input, because this is new territory for me. FTP I get. BitTorrent I do not.

thx in advance

PM sent. European Portuguese was a more recent addition, so it’s only in the more current versions.

Hello,
I would like to get the subtitle files for Finnish, please.

My youngest is 11 and she might still be resposive to the magic of The Movie. But subtitles are a must for her.
As they were for me when I saw it in the movies when I was 10, a long time ago…

Best Regards, and big thanks for a good work!

I need Japanese subtitles if possible, please. At least for the first movie.

There’s a pretty detailed README file included with the project files. That part would be covered in the “Project Threepio’s file naming convention” section.

SW-eng-native.sup: A set of subtitles that cover what most people would want.
SW-eng-sdh-native.sup: A set of subtitles that include SDH (deaf & hard of hearing) audio cues.
SW-eng-alien-35mm.sup: Greedo’s subtitles, for use with preservations that don’t have burnt-in Greedo subs.
SW-eng-match-35mm.sup: A set of subtitles for the rest of the film, designed to look like Greedo’s subs (similar font & style).

SW means Star Wars, ESB means Empire, ROTJ means Jedi. I’d recommend against using SRT files unless you have no other option.

So, in short, -eng-native is probably what you’re looking for, unless you want SDH cues.

quoting this as i found it useful.

would it be fair to say that for non english languages, the -full-compat would be the prefered SRT subtitle, followed by just -full if there is no -full-compat file?

Also, the readme file is confusing me on this part:

native: onscreen text is not subtitled, designed for video with burnt-in alien subtitles
nocrawl: onscreen text is not subtitled, designed for video without burnt-in alien subtitles

those descriptions don’t seem right to me, or else i am just confused…
