New member, long time reader.
I found this forum after looking around for ideas on how to improve the non-anamorphic DVDs of the OT, beyond simply upconverting them to anamorphic. I didn't have it in me to go beyond that step because I figured as long as I don't have to hit that 'zoom' button, that's good enough for the time being. I became intrigued with the idea of improving on changes done by a multi-million dollar visual effects house like ILM, and therefore I downloaded the DVD-5 version of this REVISITED film.
Not only has the stunningly brilliant man behind this improved on the work done by ILM, but I'd easily say that they've been surpassed. That is by no means a simple feat, but the very idea of outclassing and outthinking both Lucasfilm and ILM is such a bold, even spiteful thing to do and Adywan has succeeded immensely.
Cheers to you, good sir. Your talents and based on this whole thread, which I am currently reading (I'm on page 14 and I'm going to read the whole thing) your dedication and generosity are an inspiration.
I am currently downloading the torrent for the DVD-9 version, 80.9% so far (that's after two days, non-stop download with speed hovering between 30 and 60KB/s) and will be done in roughly 9 hours time.
As I have been reading the latter pages of this thread because of the problems with the ISO, I can say that the torrent consists of the following files:
- STAR_WARS_REVISITED_NTSC_DVD_9.iso (7.78GB)
- VIDEO_TS_files_fixed.rar (128KB)
- "Torrent downloaded from..." text file
I trust imgburn more than I trust Nero, because I have wasted DL discs using Nero, but both imgburn and the Sony DVD Architect DVD burner program have both worked with those discs perfectly. So this means I just have to use the files in the RAR and replace the ISO's IFO's with the RAR ones?
Ironic that it's criminal that Adywan isn't compensated for his efforts, which in itself would be criminal!
