THE STAR WARS SAGA - 1080P AVCHD DVD-9 for PS3 & Blu-Ray players - Episodes 1, 4 & 5 available now — Page 28

I have found the Memorex DL's  will burn fine but you will need to burn them at 4x. Give it a try.

Good point.  I have found cheaper discs usually burn without a problem at lower speeds.  However, in my experience, they are only good for about 5 years or so before they stop playing correctly.

Anyone have any suggestions where I can find the EP V torrent?  I was able to download EP IV in a little over a day, but I've been downloading EP V for 3 days now, and I still only have 20% of it.  Thanks!

Same here.  I've done searches on Demonoid for "star wars V avchd" and "empire avchd" and am coming up blank.

 

I uploaded the torrent, just search for adywan, my username on demonoid is similar to my username here.  I also uploaded it to tpb, you might be better off getting it there as there's more seeds/peers and dht, peer exchange are enabled on that torrent.

That was the first thing I tried, which was how I found ANH, then I tweaked it to search for Empire.

 

Edit - OK, searched for "adywan" and I found it.  I figured they would be named similar though, which is what was confusing me.  ANH said "STAR WARS IV" but ESB said "Star Wars Ep 5".  ANH also had "AVCHD" in the title, ESB didn't.

Sorry my fault!

Hello everyone

 How do i get to download episode IV & V, I would really love to get these. can anyone help me?  Star Wars is the greatest thing in the world.

Hey Ady,

We all know you're plugging away on ESB:R but can you guesstimate at a "pause point" where you can at least do the AVCHD of "Jedi", just to complete the OT set?

He said in the ESB:R thread that it won't be until after ESB:R, so sometime in 2010 unfortunately.

Did AVP release a Blu-ray sized cover for Empire.  I love his cover for ANH.

What cover? Could someone PM me a link to this or, perhaps, the picture?

Here you can get the cover for ANH. I'm not sure if AVP made a cover for ESB too.

sorry to here about the issues you are having. I do have an idea how to fix this for you.

Download TSMuxer. Load the .m2ts file into it. untick the main video file and select demux to demux all the audio tracks. Once this is done retick the video file and remove all the other tracks (subs too i'm afraid). keep TSMuxer open.

Now you'll need Besweet to import the audio tracks into to convert them to 23.976fps. load each audio file into besweet individually and select ac3 as the output. Now for the 5.1 track you need to click on the "ac3 & ogg" tab. change the bitrate to 640 and click back on the besweet tab. now tick "change framerate" and input 24000 into the first box and 23976 into the second. now output your 5.1 audio track. now for the 2 other audio tracks do the same as above but change the bitrate to 192.

Now you have your new audio tracks import them all back into TSMuxer. Make sure that the 5.1 track is the first audio track in the list below the video file. Now click on the video stream to highlight it. Tick the "change fps" box and change the value to "24000/1001". This will just change the header in the video to play at 23.976fps and doesn't add or remove any frames. Now select "create bluray" as the output and create your folders. Once this is done open imgburn and import both the BDMV & Certificate folders and change the udf file system to 2.50 and burn. everything else should be done automatically by Imgburn.

Hope this helps

Hey Ady,

I tried this today and it didn't fix the problem. Any other ideas mate?

Thanks

Okay, I have a question. I'm new to the AVCHD thing and this has probably been asked a lot. BUT... will these play on a regular dvd player?

No.  You need a Blu-Ray player or a PlayStation 3.

Aaaaw. Are there any theatrical versions that are actually good quality with the correct color that are available on dvd? Or do you if there is any way to convert this to DVD format?

you could convert it to a good computer watchable format or ipod watchable with handbrake. idk about a DVD, there certainly is a way, but it might be somewhat complex.

Well, these aren't theatrical versions anyway - ESB is a 1080p restoration of the 1997 SE, while ANH is basically the 2004 SE with Han shooting first (both color corrected, naturally).

If you're looking for the 1977, 1980, 1983 theatrical versions, the 2006 DVD release (which we call "GOUT" here) is passable, though it's non-anamorphic from a laserdisc master.  That's probably the best quality of those versions available, and it's not terribly difficult to make anamorphic versions.  The color is a bit washed-out, but it's better than the 2004 DVDs - the biggest problems with those are the high level of grain and bad digital noise reduction that tends to smear the image in some scenes.

If you're looking for the 1997 versions, this would be the best available for ESB, and there are DVD sets that use the laserdisc transfers of the 1997 SEs, but none of those are particularly great (though someone on this forum is working on a "Super Set" that combines the best available sources), and those wouldn't have particularly great color, either.
