I want to try unzip my files again using a different program. If that doesn't work, then I will also go to imageburn for the iso burn.

Are you using a router, if so try forwarding your ports. I'm still downloading my copy from a.b.starwars, and I'm almost finnished. I had to stop my download earlier today because of work or else I would be watching it right know.

Make sure that your BT client's upload setting is no more that 80% of your bandwith. If the upload setting is to high, it can't send acknowledgment packets back to the tracker.

damn man you only have 65 posts here and you are demanding a PAL torrent,alot of us share stuff all the time with people,but it is comments like that,that make us NOT want to,I have the PAL version and it looks and plays fine,but I will NOT torrent,most people don't anymore.
why don't you do yourself a favor and LEARN THE DAMN NEWSGROUPS,it does not cost much to anything,and it is very easy to setup,quit just bitching and moaning for a hand out,for shitssake do some learning and work for yourself.
this whole torrent mess is getting waaay out of hand,I really hope it does not make Ady think twice about releasing the DVD9 versions.

I hope he doesn't kill me for pushing 2 MB per second (100 Mbps -> 12.5 MB/s) on this thing...

As for the PAL version, be patient. Ady has spent 2 years of HIS time working on this, so an extra day or so is nothing in comparison to that.
DVD5 looks great, better than a lot of commercial DVD9's. Can't wait to see the extra bonus's in the DVD9.

So the news group users got it almost two days early... but free is better!
Well worth the wait, and no glitches (fingers crossed).
Once I burn I'm going to seed. I encourage others to do the same!
Thanks ady, for a great edit!

Well i'm half way through the isolated score track for the DVD-9's. Originally i was going to remix the track into 5.1 but its now looking like it will just be stereo due to disc space.

Anyway...
I've now watched 3/4 of the ntsc movie on my 17in monitor (skipped around a lot looking at stuff, after all, this is 99% the same as the XVID just in better quality), and it looks great. Very impressive (especially for single layer)!
Both the saber battle and the Yavin battle still give me chills! The few creative decisions I disagree with (Vader's recolored eyes, the music at Obi-Wan's sacrifice) I can live with. I'm also glad you included 2004 Jabba as a deleted scene (I need to get my hands on some 3d glasses!). I love Jabba, even though the tail stomping gag always sucked, and I agree that the scene was unnecessary. I didn't care so much about the trailers, except the ESB one, which gets me excited for your next project!
There was a slight hiccup at the point where the officer informs Vader that the "Battlestation plans are not aboard this ship" but it turned out to just be my system (win2kpro, w/ PowerDVD5) choking because I'm seeding
However in that same scene I did notice that the rank badge on the officer's uniform seemed a little "washed out" vs. the much more colorful badges of everyone else in the movie. Apart from that minor thing (and the fact that certain inserted objects, like the new dish on the Falcon in Docking Bay 94, have a fuzzy outline) this is amazing, and by far the best fan edit of Star Wars I've ever seen... superior to the 2004 edition in virtually every way, and brings back much of the magic I felt watching the Special Edition (though I wish it was on the big screen!).
The severed hand looks fantastic! I thought I'd really miss the blood, but this looks great.
Thanks Adywan, and thanks to everyone who's uploaded and seeded. KEEP SEEDING!

The badge problem is due to the 2004 DVD transfer. It is really washed out in that one too. I tried boosting the orange colour but it looked a mess so i left the colour for the badge alone. As you can see here some of the colour is missing on the badge on the 2004 DVD so there was not a lot i could do about it. The saturation wasn't touched for the badge and remains the same as it is in the 2004 DVD. It just shows what a mess the colouring of the official DVD was. And you've just got to love the guy's purple uniform in the official DVD.

Watched the NTSC version last night with my wife. She kidded that you should add a couch in the trash compactor scene for the DVD9.
I had some questions that either you or one of the other posters could point out about the DVD9.
What is the resolution going to be for it?
Where in the board can I find a list of the extras? I know you posted them.
Are there any more tweaks to the movie from the DVD5?

OK well i've just finished testing both the PAL & NTSC versions on the HD-XE1 HD-DVD(the Uk version of the XA2) player. both played fine without any problems. So it has to be a bug with the Firmware on the NTSC only players. I also tested it on a very old Bush DVD player that has always choked at the slightest problem on a DVD and again the NTSC played fine. Someone has pointed out that when loaded into DVDREMAKE it shows some errors. well i have checked this and although that program reports the errors they are just remote button commands, present on both the PAL & NTSC, but these would have no impact on the playback of the DVD. My guess after all this is that its just the TOSHIBA HD_DVD NTSC players that just don't like Procoder encoded mpegs due to their firmware. If you do a google search you will see threads stating that their players did the same with some retail HD-DVDs before an updated firmware. Same freezing issues mentioned here. Good luck with ever getting a fixed firmware now Toshiba have dropped out of the HD-DVD market though. And it definitely does seem localised to just the Toshiba NTSC players. Seems like the XBOX360 HD-DVD drives play it fine. Also it has been mentioned that the trivia track disappears on the NTSC when skipping chapters. has anyone else had this problem? I tested it on the PS3 & my Panasonic DVD-recorder and i can't see a problem.

Okay, posting cos I said I would.
Got the NTSC version, same way as the PAL.
Mounted and burned same was as the PAL.
Played it on the same machine as the PAL.
Same errors that everyone else was reporting! (I was surprised!)
Freeze at the Ep IV revisted logo.
Chapter skipping put me into the main menu.
Played it fine, but at 2:13 the clock stopped (pic and sound continued) and then as the scene cuts out to the long shot of the Tantive and the SD... FREEZE!
So.. the NTSC version won;t play were the PAL one did.
Has anyone else other than Ady and Me checke dthe NTSC one on a UK HD player?
???

Now that the dvd-5 is out, should we be considering posting a new xvid and taking down the old one ? Im sure this fan edit is going to get lots of attention and osme people will download the old xvid and see the film pre-final changes.
------------
Does anyone know who posted the original torrent files and whether they can be removed. Ive alreadyhad one person moan about the "flipper" scene in the cantina, lol.

i won't be doing another XVID release of the new version. I'm not sure it would really be worth it anyway. there are only a few changes between the two.
