great project movealong.

I loved the story of star wars, cannot wait to see empire and then jedi.

Since I finished the edit, I've been kind of taking a break from the project. Recently, I've been colaborating with another member here on cover artwork that is coming along nicely. At this point, I need to start conceptualizing some motion menus and layouts and basically start the authoring process. I also need to transcribe subtitles which is very tedious work. I'm still on it but it's going to be a few months at least...

Can any windows users tell me what everyone uses to analyze their dvd's? I'm looking to find exactly what my peak bitrate is. The audio is PCM and I want to make sure that I'm OK with my video encoding bitrate. It plays fine on my Mac and my set top player, but I just want to make sure... and I can't find anything that will precisely tell me what I want to know on the Mac. Thanks.

have you tried using GSpot codec information appliance?

It can be found here:

I havent used it myself, but it should give peak bitrate for a raw mpeg 2 stream. (no sure about vob files though)

I own the LP album of The story of tesb, the adventures of luke skywalker. So I cannot wait to see your finished project, I love the album and would love to hear it again and see it as well.

I got a question though. will there be a version 2 of the story of star wars in the correct ratio of 2:35:1?

The opening of the return of the jedi album read by the narrator is different than that in the film, what ideas do you have about that. are you going to do a new title crawl with the words altered to match the narrator's?

the guy on the story of star wars album read the title roll up/ scroll. But I was watching puggo's edition of the super 8 and they have a different guy than Roscoe Lee Browne reading it and it is slightly reworded or shortened.

I just wanted to say thank you for doing this project, and I think you have done some wonderful color correction on those 2004 dvd's. who ever knew it was possible?

did you do any further audio cleanup beyond what Scotty Balls did originally?

it is going to be on dvd in PCM sound right. are you going to include a dolby track as well?

Yes. In a perfect world, I would love to use the X0 as the source. Hopefully it will be available after I'm done with Jedi.

Yes. Empire also uses a custom crawl. Only one thing is different on the album. Malachi Throne says "dispatches" instead of "has dispatched". Rebel_1138's crawl is flawless.

No.

PCM only. Thanks for the interest...

Oh, it's not done... I'm still working on it. However, I was able to get quite a bit of work completed this past week. I've got the ideas for the menus fleshed out and I've actually started authoring! Now that The Lost Scenes project is done, I'm looking forward to finally getting this thing done. I'll post some screenshots later in the week...

I'm thinking July, hopefully. I'm about 75% of the way through transcribing the subtitles. I've started on the authoring with menu designs, but once my copy of the new McQuarrie art book arrives, I may change a few more things. When I'm a little further along, I promise I will post some examples...

I hope so. I started formatting the subtitles today. Still waiting for my McQuarrie book to arrive. Once that's here, then I can start finalizing things. Getting the subtitles finished is a big step toward completion...

OK, subtitles are now officially complete! (for 16:9 and 4:3 sets, no less) Now, time to roll up the sleeves and get the authoring finished on this thing. I don't feel comfortable posting any screenshots yet, but I will as soon as I can. Yes, I know I've said that before. Empire has taken me a lot longer to complete than SW. Just busier with other things, I guess. But to anyone out there looking forward to this project, I can now say that I'm on the home stretch with just the authoring left for completion. I am proud of the way this is turning out.

In other news, I received my copy of the new "The Art of Ralph McQuarrie" book. AMAZING!! I can honestly say that the $150 I spent was an absolute bargain. It is massive in both size and depth of scope. I got lost in it for a couple of hours, and that was before I even got to the SW stuff. He is an amazing man, artist, and visionary...

AWESOME can't wait!!, Is it safe to assume that when you are done with this you'll do ROTJ?

After I put together Galactus' Bounty Hunter v2.0 project, I'll try to start Jedi this winter (I need a break ). I would hope to have it completed summer '08. Maybe by then the X0 will be out and I can truly finish the trilogy with version 2 of SW for '09...

I've got some days off coming up so I'll try to knock a lot of Empire out then. Thanks for the interest...

Well, the authoring is finally complete! I burned a test disc and things seem to be working fine. I'm going to have a beta tester go through it before I declare it ready for prime time. I still need to tighten up some stuff on the DVD-ROM folder. But other than that, it's ready to go. Hopefully, we're looking at under 2 weeks before it's out...

And finally some long promised samples...

EDIT: Artwork and screenshots moved to first post...
