Thankfully ADigitalFreakNYC filled the gap
I'll repay by seeding for as long as I can. I'm on to it now....
The Classic Re-re-re-release of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back.
In this version the word "WOOKIE" has been changed to "HAIR CHALLENGED ANIMAL" and the entire cast has been digitally replaced by Ewoks.

Finally picked up the torrented bh006 "When Star Wars Ruled The World" (I was demoted to dial-up until recently), and was a little disappointed that I didn't show up in the credits at all.
I know you wound up using digitalfreak's capture over mine as it was better quality, and that's good. But I assume the extras are still the ones I provided, snagged from the VH1 website? digitalfreak is only credited with providing the main content. Just curious to see if it was my extras content that made it in.Not a big deal... keep 'em coming; I look forward to every release!

Ah, that explains it. Not a problem; I'm just glad to see that it turned out well. I've now got every release through bh010 I think, except for bh005 (which I have just over halfway torrent downloaded, now down to a very slow trickle due to lack of seeders). I love the way the series looks on my shelf.
One other question, which is probably directed more towards digitalfreaknyc: how did your capture differ from the TiVo version I have, and how did you manage to get better quality? No doubt about it, the footage looks extremely good.

I dunno. Had I recorded with Dolby Digital instead of PCM, it would've looked even better! I used my stand-alone machine and that was done in the early days when I was recording everything with PCM. Had I used Dolby Digital, the bitrate would have been higher.

Oh well....those players are a little old though, so I'm sure thats just the problem. My third player (my computer) plays them without a hitch.

No problem here. Burned with DVD Shrink which uses Nero and plays fine in all 6 of my DVD players.

I used to be very active on this forum. I’m not really anymore. Sometimes, people still want to get in touch with me about something, and that is great! If that describes you, please email me at [my username]ATgmailDOTcom.
Hi everybody. You’re all awesome. Keep up the good work.

This may be down to the fact that I think i encoded the VH1 clips with a very high bit rate. Older players may have problems with that.
I hope everybody is enjoying the new releases.

Also, I've only tried it on my PC, as I don't have a standalone player or TV.

I'm a Mac user so i use Toast7 to burn it but it just crashes the app everytime i choose "burn".
Bh009 went great, and a few others as well but bh010 is giving me a hard time.

I'm eagerly awaiting that one as well, but I don't think it's actually been torrented on MySpleen yet. bh001 through bh010 have been up there, but that's as far up as they have gone. I've managed to pull down all of them up to bh010 *except* for bh005, which has been stuck for weeks at 95%. I'm pleading for seeders at this point!hi,

babyhum, what's next on the agenda after bh011 through bh015 or so? How about the Episode 2 "Connections" special with R2-D2 and C-3PO, has that been preserved anywhere? Seems like you've done most of the other recent TV specials that featured the droids.

I have no idea what my plans are for the future at the moment. I still have soooooo much stuff to put on DVD. Unfortunately work is getting in the way at the moment, but, since this afternoon, i am the proud owner of a MacBook so I will be utilising my lunch hours more fruitfully!

baby hum, are you still planning to release the classic Making Ofs? I know they've been put out by others, but I'd like to see them get the bh treatment.

I will be. They'll be transfers from my Japanese laserdiscs.

This is totally something I could see ocpmovie doing. I'm sure he'd have no trouble taking a US laserdisc cap (or even a decent VHS cap) of the specials and using them to matte over the Japanese subtitles on those better quality copies. I know he has sworn off Star Wars work for now, but maybe I could poke and persuade him a bit. All I'd need would be a good source for both the Japanese versions and the subtitle-less US versions. Maybe he could give the end product over to babyhum to add menus to for the final release. I'd sure like to see it happen.Any chance of using the US releases of the docs to help mask the Japanese subtitles or would that just look bad?
In the meantime, I'm pretty sure nobody has mentioned it here so far... the EditDroid crew has quietly released all 4 documentaries along with some other additional material recently. If I can get their okay, I'll drop some more details about it. The transfers are great, but unfortunately they do contain the Japanese subtitles as well. We ought to take this into account in considering what to release, as it goes without saying that the EditDroid team does outstanding work.
