Yeah, and for the four or five commentaries (usually Mark or Carrie) that were already at correct speed on PAL (hence slowed down now on NTSC), I spot corrected them back to correct pitch.

Nicely done!

The PAL format hasn't been a problem for me, but the smoothness is lessened because it's displayed on an NTSC television. Sounds like that won't be a problem now.

Sorry if I missed it somewhere, but any news about this being uploaded anywhere?

I got the NTSC version of Returning at demonoid (hope the NTSC version of BE will be upped there, too), by the way, and it performed like a champ!

Thanks again.

It will be announced here. Depends on how fast the mail is. It went out of here a week ago.

Ohhh, ok. I think you were doing it directly. So is it going out for final approval, so to speak?

Hey caligulathegod, I received the NTSC version of 'BE' today. I have had a look through it and am pleased with the results and am totally happy for someone to upload this to torrent sites etc.

Some of the audio sounds a little slow to me. However, I am not sure if this is because I've used NTSC audio and it has been further slowed down during your standards conversion or whether I am just so used to hearing PAL sped up voices. Either way, all of the content is there in a presentable format. Good work!

That is great news to hear. Looking forward to seeing this pop up soon. Congrats once again to Caligula for the hard work.

There's good in the Original Trilogy, and it's worth fighting for.

I'd say it's a little of both. Some of the commentaries are definitely slow. I only re-corrected Mark and Carrie. We might need a third pair of ears for the movie, itself. I've listened to it dozens of times and it sounds right to me, but I've gotten used to it, too. But if you've listened to PAL versions forever, that's what you'd be used to.

Anyway, DigitalfreakNYC said he'd help distribute, so DF, give me a PM.

Glad you liked it. Thank you. I was proud to have contributed.

It's actually up on Demonoid right now. I'm the only seeder and it's being downloaded by about 30 people. In a day or so, there will be a bunch of seeders. I'm getting about 60kb upload, but that gets divided by about 8 leechers at a time. Unfortunately, I can't tell it to upload to the same eight leechers, so that it can get up faster. Right now there's plenty of peers with 50-60% to spread out what's been uploaded so far, though. In another day, there will be tons of seeders. I'm excited that it's almost out there.

I've been getting quite a few requests for 'BE' cover and disc art.

So, I have made a quick page where you can download them - here.

If I've missed yours off, please let me know.

OK, about 70-80 people have the NTSC version now. Ummm...how is it? I haven't heard any comments (or complaints) about it yet. Just curious what others think of the conversion.

Is this a download only, or will there be actual DVDs made available?

Someone might volunteer a "pay it forward" if you can't download the torrent. Go to your user control panel and allow private messages.

Just finished downloading - still seeding though

- and it is brilliant. Utterly brilliant. The amount of effort that has gone into this puts LFL to shame. Thank you so much JD!

Downloading Jedi now - about 75% of the way through. I'll keep seeding when that has done too.

I just watched this yesterday and loved it. I especially enjoyed the cuts of the Wampa subplot you included. A job well done on BE and RtJ my friend. I'm actually making copies of DM, BE and RtJ for a friend for his birthday too, so he can enjoy these!

It's on Demonoid.

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.

Hi Jambe,

Just a heads up, since no money should be made out of these, but there's a guy selling copies of Building Empire and Returning to Jedi on Yahoo auctions, both are part of a 10 DVD set
called the: Star Wars Trilogy Ultimate Supplemental DVD Collection.

:: Thanks for the heads up, but don't post links to auctions of fan edits, thanks.
