It took me forever to figure out how and what to do to do this as well as keep the multi-angle feature (selectable crawls) and the menu in place, but I finally accomplished it! I don’t know how to or have a program that allows me to make multi-angles. What I finally ended up doing is using Musclesoft DVTool to cut the angled portion off of the original vob. Very cool that there is no dialouge in this part so no subtiling needed here. I demuxed the audio (only one angle), video and original Greedo EditDroid subtitles.
Then I used the isomix fixed subtitles I downloaded (after watching, well mostly listening, actually to the movie many times and adding, changing lines so that they made a perfect match to what was being said) added back in the Greedo subs to the main subs. I also redid Greedo-only subs in a font to match the ISOMIX subs for Empire and Jedi. (I would have just gotten the ISOMIX ANH, but I wanted selectable crawls and I like EditDroid’s menus and special features better.)
Then I used SpruceUp to create one chapter point at the exact point where I cut the original VOB. I created the project (though SpruceUp doesn’t allow multiple audio or any subtitles so I wasn’t done yet) so I could get a cell time for the cut. I used pgcdemux to rip only the celltimes.txt. Then I used muxman with the complete one angle video, 2 audios, and 2 subtitles, along with my celltimes.txt with the one chapter point. When that was done I again used PGC to strip it, this time stripping only the second cell. I used DVDsubedit to reposition and check the subtitles.
Then I remuxed everything (again!) and renamed the resulting vobs VTS_01_1.VOB thru VTS_01_5.VOB to VTS_01_2.VOB thru VTS_01_6.VOB. I pasted them and my 133mb VTS_01_1.VOB (the multi-angle crawls) into the folder with the original menus. I also replaced the trailer (which I already have on the official DVD) with rowman’s post-Academy Awards trailer. I used the same ifo file from the original so that the angles would work properly. I used ifoedit to fix the VTS sectors and add in values for the new subtitles. I was finally done!
The end result is the EditDroid ANH, but now with added features:
Alternate trailer (menu still refers to just trailer).
Non-removable Greedo subtitles in white AlternateGothic2 font (removable only if you select the other subtitles).
Full subtitles in white Arial Narrow font (Greedo in yellow) (selectable only with subtitle button on remote).
all of the original menus and features still work:
scene selection
optional isolated score
Ralph McQuarrie gallery
DVD-Rom features (mine also has the Blak019 Holiday Special wallpapers folder and PDF script as they wouldn’t fit on my modifed Holiday Special disc, with it’s added Conan O’Brien clip and more)
Jacket_p pictures
To complete this set I am simply going to make the ISOMIX Empire and Jedi with subs fit into the EditDroid menus, with Jacket_p and DVD-Rom features for both. All of the subtitles in this new set will now only be able to be selected via “subtitle” button. I just thought that if ever choose to watch the films with the isolated scores, it would be better if I could at least read what was going on.
Oh yeah- all of the subtitles appear in the black bar at the bottom, off of the picture. There are some subtitles in the full ANH subs that have three lines. For these only, the first line appears over the video.
I only have a 2X burner, but if anyone wants this set, which for me will be Disc 2’s to go with my 2004 DVDs, I can send one person a copy and they can distribute. I don’t have enough HD space to do the torrent thing either. It was really hard doing this project, after every step I had to delete the previous files.
