Info: The Empire Strikes Back in HD Compromise — Page 2

Just wondering if a 13 GB Jedi was on the way... the only two changes I would rquest is an upscald version of Lapti Nek be spliced in since "Jedi Rocks" is by far the worst addition to all three of the movies... even worse than greedo shooting... The music is awful and the "new and improved" Sny Snootles is just pathetic. A quick upscaled version of the Shaw ghost would be appreciated too.

I don't do requests, plus these are in High Definition, those scenes are low quality non-anamorphic and do not belong in my HD releases. I'm sure there are plenty of DVD's bootlegs out there with these changes, in fact this forum seems thrive on those.

Is there any chance of an MPEG4, DivX or XviD release of any of the HD versions? While WMVHD works great on Windows and an Xbox360, it doesn't work on all OSs and devices.

Or perhaps even easier -- is there a way to convert these WMVHDs to MPEG4, DivX or XviD?

Lucas is such an ass for not releasing the HD versions on BLU Ray, forcing fans to have to download bootlegs, bastard!

We made this same argument about Lucas releasing the OOT officialy on DVD, and look where that got us. He would probably screw the films up even more before he released them on HD.

Lucas needs time to edit Jar Jar Binks in to ANH, ESB and ROTJ before he releases them in an HD format.

If you have the bandwidth, here are the original H.264 captures: http://binsearch.info/?q=Star+Wars+oar+AVC+DE-EN-DC&max=100&adv_age=99&server=
They are about 20 gigs per movie

The title crawl and all subs are in German, but the quality is unequaled.

I do have the space and the bandwidth, thanks for the pointers on these German releases.

I wish more folks were posting movies unreleased in HD in the wmv format - I find it's the best compromise between file size and quality. Great work!

I agree!

Not to resurrect an older thread, but I really want to thank Wookie Groomer - the classic trilogy, and in 1080P! Magic.

Got Empire, and currently getting ANH. Then it'll be Jedi!

Have to get the prequel trilogy too!!!

Badges?!? We don’t need no stinkin’ badges…

How can I get Wookie Groomers Empire? I have agent forte up and a.b.starwars, but his HD WMV star wars is not up.

I'm working on this in Zbrush 3. The HD images of Yoda will help me a great deal. I'm using ripped VOB chapters from my Empire DVD, but I really would like to have the HD scenes.

I don't know if this will help but I do have a gmail account. I'm dying for this video. . It will help me beyond words.

I'm gonna make a rapid proto copy of it when it's done. I'm tired of not owing a faithful replica of Yoda from the ESB and thats why I'm doing this.

Depending on your Usenet provider, the original DVD9 postings are probably starting to expire. You should still be able to grab the 13 GB postings though. Again, it's going to depend on your usenet provider.
