yeh, it will be going up in alt.binaries.starwars

i've just done a test AVCHD and it looks great on my 42" 1080p TV. The encode came in a bit smaller than i had anticipated so i'm going to do a second encode and up the bitrate, although having checked the first one side by side with the master lossless avi there are no compression artefacts visible. it looks exactly the same. there is some very minor video noise in places but that is down to the colour correction and couldn't be avoided.

I'm working on the Main audio right now. so far the specs for EPIV are this:

1080p True 24fps Video
AC3 5.1 640kbps English audio, a new audio mix so no reversed rear channels
Directors commentaries
Alternate commentaries from the now defunked DVD-ROM website
Greedo doesn't shoot!!!!
