Hey just to let everyone know, I've finally got my copy working now.

I went to CNET Downloads and got this program called Media Player Classic, which is part of the "Windows Essentials Media Codec Pack 1"

The movie has sound now and it is working just fine, and it also works now in my version of Windows Media Player.

Looking forward to the next available copy of Star Wars, when the next files are available for download. ^_^

Once Again, Thank You Adywan for creating a unique take on the Original Star Wars movie.

I can still see both versions landing on a.b.dvdr and a.b.starwars

Neither have received any files in over 5hrs though?

Everything OK Ady?

Unison is great, but you're wasting your time trying to get anything through your ISP (practically zero binary retention). You need to pay for a premium provider. I use Giganews. The files are on absw, just not available to you the way you're attempting. Unfortunately, usenet is only viable when you pay for it. That's just reality...

You can go about your business. Move along, move along.

I use easynews......it is great!!!!

And very easy as well........it finds all of the files and then zips them all up into one download for you

Can't beat that......I tried tons of news readers in the past and it was really a tedious joke to get anything....thank goodness for par files, easynews, and their lovley Zip Manager

Last time I check everyone has to be a beginner at some point. No need to appologise for being new here. Welcome to the boards, feel free to stick around. There is a lot more to this place than just Star Wars.

I'm on Shaw high speed in Alberta - this is the first time I've used Usenet and it's working fine. I used Outlook to get pointed at Shawnews, then installed Grabit, and I've just gotten part 52 of the NTSC version from alt.binaries.starwars. It's taken a few hours, but still faster than bitorrent.

Looking forward to seeing this - thanks Adywan!

Ady, had a look in yEnc PowerPost (I use it too) and you're correct in that there's no easy way to alter the group posting order. It might be possible by editing the QUEUE.DAT file before starting to post - I'll look into this and report back.

Yeah, looks like I'm gonna have to go the torrent route for the PROPER release... there are dozens and dozens of missing parts on my server for this one, sadly.

Something happened with giganews when i was uploading last night and wouldn't let me connect for about half an hour. this caused some files to be incomplete. but there are only 7 incomplete files with the proper PAL & 8 with the NTSC. I will be posting plenty of PAR2 that will fix the incomplete ones.

Thanks Moth3r for looking into yenc powerpost for me. I've looked around for a solution and haven't come up with anything myself.When it comes to the DVD-9's i'll just be posting in a.b.starwars anyway.

As a fix, do we just download the PAR2 files and unzip? I am not sure what is meant by the plenty of PAR2 files.

Par2 files are used to check and repair files downloaded from usenet. You will need quickpar first. you can download it for free here:
QUICKPAR

once you ahve downloaded the rar files and par2 files, open any one of the par2 files with Quickpar. it will then scan the files and report any damaged files. once the scan is complete just click on repair and it will then repair any damaged rar files. once this is done you can unpack the rar files the usual way.

Ditto to that!



I must say that even though I lurk here a lot and don't post much, I just had to post in response to this project. I DL the Xvid version and was blown away by all the changes/additions to Ep IV. Simply awesome. I cannot wait to DL and burn a copy to DVD and view it on a big screen.

Thanks, adywan.

I do not fear the Dark Side as you do.

Maybe I'm missing something in your question, but what would be the point?

He's currently posting the DVD-5 versions (for those of you in Rio Linda, DVD-5 is the standard, less expensive, single layer blanks you can buy). I don't see why you would want to reduce the quality to make it an xvid only to put it back on a DVD-5 to play back in your DVD player.

If you want an xvid for some other portable device, why not just make one yourself from the DVD-5? Really not that hard, and if you get stuck, Google is your friend.

Again, maybe I'm missing something, but it doesn't seem worth it...

I know nothing about these formats and terminology, all I know is that I downloaded an Xvid torrent of the first version over a month ago and burned it to DVD (I watch it on my TV, not so much with the PC) with good results using DVD FLICK. My main question is this, when I download a torrent of this newer version, with the menus and extras and all, will it be just as easy to burn to DVD-5 with DVD FLICK as the last one was? Will the software put everything in the right places or do I have to do something special?

i suposse you'll download an iso file, that you'll can toast, as a image, with nero, alcohol120 or similar burning software. the image quality will be much better than the inicial xvid file.

in this iso file it will be all menus and extras.

Don't you just hate it when one thing after another goes wrong? Anyway, thanks for enduring through this hassle of uploading and reuploading. I'm looking forward to those par2s.

LoL

I think we can all agree that DVD-5 is far superior to xvid quality wise, but xvid is really an amazing achievement for the amount of quality being packed into such a small file. They are very portable and easy to store. There are any number of reasons why somebody might want a movie in that format. You could keep an entire movie library on your laptop and take it with you on a boring business trip, give you something to watch on the plane and in the hotel in the evening. You can also load them onto portable devices. If you have an R4 for you Nintendo DS you could even watch xvid on that. Many other portable devices are able to play them aswell. So they are very practical. But like Dark_Jedi said, they are very easy to make on your own. Just throw it into autoGordian Knot (a freeware program) for a few hours.

Thanks Ady for confirming there will be a load of PARs... My server (Virgin- hmmmm...) shows only something like 20 of the 78 already posted files being complete, of the rest most are missing only one or two parts, but between rars 23 and 46 it averages around 80 (!!) parts missing per rar.

Ironically, the NTSC version has many less missing parts!
(Which isn;t too bad...)

oh well.. ho-hum!!! ;' )))

I don;t think it will matter how big the PAR set is, I think I'm still gonna have to wait for the torrent for the *real proper* disc.
(Or see what it ultimately ends up missing and maybe REQ selected individual RARs in the NG??)

NOTE TO THOSE DESPERATE:
The original *broken* post does still work.
You can view the film if you really want to see it.. just don;t copy it for people or torrent it.

Cheers again Ady.

yeah, your server must have poor retention or something (ie crap , try giganews instead).....the only files for the NTSC version that are incomplete are files 27 thru 34, and they are no where near as incomplete as your server is saying they are.

*Correction* Ah I see you were referring to the PAL files....however with the PAL files the story is even better....only files 26 thru 32 are incomplete...

I love everybody. Lets all smoke some reefer and chill. Hug and kisses for everybody.
