I've also got some GREAT NEWS!
I have a new set that I will be uploading via the Bittorrents - I'm still waiting for the MAgnoliaFan Episode 2 - The Clone War si that will be at least anothr 2-3 weeks form now
BUT
I have just recieved this new version called the ISOMIX trilogy!!!!
I've watched ANH and will be posting them sometime next week!!
But here's the ROUGH low-down..........
Encoding info:
STAR WARS and EMPIRE were encoded with a 2-pass VBR of 3.8 minimum and 8 maximum using Compressor with Final Cut Pro. The ac3 tracks were encoded with a bit rate of 448 kbps with dialogue normalization at -27
DBFS. Due to the longer length of Jedi, it was encoded at 3.7 min, 8 max and the music only track was encoded at 384 kbps.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION ABOUT THESE DISCS
These DVD's were created from the Definitive Edition Laserdisc Box Set. Some small portions (like Leia's welding scene in EMPIRE) were taken from the "Faces" set. The spelling errors in the subtitles for RETURN
OF THE JEDI have been corrected. It was digitized via S-video and edited with Final Cut Pro. The audio was transferred via a digital coaxial connection to Pro Tools and converted to ac3. The music tracks
come from the RCA/Victor Special Edition soundtracks, except for some tracks that were only available on the 4-disc Fox Scores/Arista Box set.
The "Music Only" track for STAR WARS contains every cue used in the movie, plus an unused cue in the Trash Compactor scene.
THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK has an alternate cue in the scene where Yoda invites Luke to his home to eat. The only noticeable difference is at the very end of the cue as it cuts to Han and '3PO on the Falcon.
RETURN OF THE JEDI is missing the most cues; mostly source music. The music played after Chewie is taken prisoner and all the source music from Jabba's sail barge has never been released. "Lapti Nek" is a
different version than used in the film, and has been edited to sound more like the film version. There's also a few seconds in the scene where the AT-ST is smashed by two swinging logs that cannot be found on
the released soundtrack CD's. For this one portion, alternate music is used.
All the music tracks have been edited to match the original soundtrack as closely as possible.
MORE details LATER!!!
BTW- THIS set IS NOT FOR SALE - ONLY for download (for now.. MAYBE trades soon
)Word to the Spookies...
