Harmy's STAR WARS Despecialized Edition HD - V2.7 - MKV (Released) — Page 681

Harmy - thank you for the update.
Bluto - thank you for the update, as well.

Torrent is best

2160p 10-Bit
HEVC Matroska Version 4

Dolby Vision to HDR fallback
Atmos

I was fixing to watch the latest versions. But may hold out for 3.0 now.

What sort of file sizes are you look at transferring?
 

These 3 options could be worth looking into further?:

Rakuten Drive Pro: 50gb file size, it is $6.70 per month, with a 30 day expiration date on shared links.

SendBig: 30gb file size, free?, 3 year expiration on links if using the free MAX feature from SendBig. They have some good customer support, and aim to respond to email queries within 24 hours (on work days).

Edit: Terabox, $3.50pm, 1080P playback, 20gb file size, 2tb storage.

I like using mega free accounts, splitting the files into ~1gb RARs.
Like how the files are when you get to them from the Ultimate Introductory Guide. Also how the NJVC files are distributed.
Seems to work well enough.

Only if people actually seed

The current (unaltered from source) versions have been available over at 1337x for the last 2+ years and still have active seeds.

So, it’s been so long since I released something that I’m gonna need some advice on how to best encode UHD in h265 with some light grain and some dark scenes. I’m assuming the encoder in Adobe Media Encoder is not going to be the best option here.

Also, again, any new ideas on where to upload?

The suspense is killing me 😉

I’ve waited over 10 years for this.

Any update Harmy? 😁

Harmy said:

Not yet. You’ll have to wait a little bit longer. But don’t put too much hope into it, so you’re not disappointed.

I think we’ve all had A New Hope since your post on Apr. 22 😃
Fingers crossed that we may have something in time for the ROTJ 40th next week.
Whatever the case, your tremendous effort and dedication is immensely appreciated!!

I think exporting to a lossless format from Premiere like ProRes or DNxHR and then re encoding that with an x265 encoder like cli or Handbrake if you need a gui would be the best way to go about it.

Cant help you with the actual x265 settings though as I am not much of an expert myself.

Think I’m doing something wrong with the guide, so far I’ve only got A New Hope but; I can’t seem to get The Empire Strikes back and Return of the Jedi.

Looking forward to it. Thanks!

Wow. I’ll look forward to that.

A little under 5 hours to go; so exciting!
