STAR WARS: EP IV 2004 REVISITED ADYWAN *1080p HD VERSION NOW IN PRODUCTION — Page 281

Adywan, what was the reason for changing the dialog in the scene?

Was it lip syncing not in continuity?

I never liked this scene, how it abruptly cuts from Luke & Ben sitting at the table, then when comes back to the table, they're gone. It doesn't show any exhibition of them leaving the table.

I never noticed that giant mouse creature sitting by the table until now. It looks so forlorn, I feel sorry for it.

It never bothered me.  I'm in film school for editing right now, and it bugs the shit out of me when other students in my classes show their stuff and feel the need to show EVERY little action that gets a character from point A to B to C - we don't need to see every little detail, we get it.  People are smarter than filmmakers in general like to think they are, in my experience.

VLC media player is not working for me. It won't play DVDs or video files. Does it have any features that can't be found on Power DVD 8 and other DVD players? Does VLC need a 3rd party DVD decoder?

In the original DVD, Luke say,"...I'm never coming back the this place again." He sounded definite about it, yet in ROTJ, he actually did return to Tattooine to save his friends from Jabba the Hutt.  "...I don't think I'll be coming back to this planet anyway," sounds better for him to say cause he's still has no intention of returning to the planet, but he's not as definite about it.

Adywan, when you get a chance, visit the: "Can anything else be done to ANH after Adywan?" thread. I have something I want you to look at.

Besides the quality. What is the difference in the DVD 9 vesion and the DVD 5 version? The quality doesnt bother me at all on the DVD 5 but if the DVD 9 has more to it then I am gonna get the DVD 9. Where can i get the DVD 9 in NTSC format besides Rapidshare (Sorry I dont have money.... but what i do have is a very peticular set of skills) But if I absolutely have to use rapidshare is their a way to get it in one download.

I'm a noobie and I just went through the experience of downloading it. If you read through the last several pages you can learn how to do it through my posts.

• Use firefox
• Get the flashgot add-on
• Download the latest version of Flashget
• buy a rapidshare account (the 1 month plan is probably your best bet)
• Attach your rapidshare account to flashget (how to attach your rapidshare account with flashget)
• Create a Link Talk account
• Find Adywan's Fan edit in the fanedit forum on LinkTalk
• Post a message on the forum to access the files
• Select the "highlight all" option to the group of rapidshare files you want to download
• Right click them, select copy, flashget should show up, you might have to select copy twice
  
• Click OK, then click advance in the flashget menu
• Insert your account information in the rapidshare box
• Select and/or create a folder to download them in
• Before downloading, turn off all firewall and antiviruse programs
• When finished, download Winrar
• Open Winrar, select the test option and test the files to make sure there are no erros
• If no errors report, select the extract option and select and/or create a folder to extract the files in
• When that is finished, the first VIDEO_TS file should work with PowerDVD 8 (VLC player should, but has not for me)
  
• The download includes SetupImgBurn in the DVD_ROM folder to burn to a disc.

You don't have to do this in order. I would actually turn off all you antivirus/spyware and firewall first. Download all the software. Creat your accounts. and then do the download.

That's all I can think of right now. It's very easy.

I would if i had money. I don't have a cent in my wallet. And I dont have a bank account LOL

Then PM chainsawash to mail you a copy. He'll do it for free. Give him your name and address.

Without downloading the movie could someone please tell me where / how to get a copy of the dvd-9 version . pal if possible , but an ntsc version would be just fine. I cant download big files like this as my monthly internet allowance isnt very big . ( basic BT package , U.K. ). can someone please help? Im in the U.K. if anyone can help.

I can't help you with a PAL version, but I'm sure someone on the forum will be able to.

The only thing I miss that has been removed for the Adywan version is the music from this shot:

Other than a few minor things I mentioned in the Can anything else be done to ANH after Adywan thread, I think it's almost perfect. Adywan, would there be any way I could get a hold of your color corrected German HD broadcast? I would like to re-insert this shot back into your version. All I have for access to that shot right now is the '04 DVD and I don't think I can color correct it to exactly fit the rest of your color correction.

I will get that version too. But I would still like to know if there is anyway I can get access to your German HD broadcast?

I have another question for you. How did you create the extended Alderaan Destruction clip? I would also like to insert that into your version.

I'm guessing the effect from the middle picture was taken from "Armageddon" but the other two look like they were created.

I've been surfing through this thread and I learned where you pulled some of this footage. But how did you create the Alderaan explosion in the third pic?

I just finished watching the purist version. Well, I didn't really watch it, more like skimmed through the parts I wanted to see if they remained the same. I'll have to say, I prefer the full/DVD-9 version. I didn't realize how lame the lightsaber battle is with no backround music now. Especially now that it is edited longer with less breaks. The picture of the purist version seems a little lower quality than the DVD-9/full version. Am I just imagining things or is the purist version less color corrected and lower resolution than the DVD-9 version?

This is exactly what the fans wanted. Continuity errors fixed, special effects enhanced, picture restored properly, good color correction, and multiple version to choose from. Instead we got half-assed everything with Lucas wasting most of his time inserting pointless, stupid antics aimed at the kiddies. How is it that an individual with modest resources and the help of fans were able to do all this, but Lucas's mighty, multi-billion dollar empire armed with with susposedly the finest CGI wizards in the world couldn't do a fraction of this?

One nitpick I have Adywan is why didn't you paint red flares on the backs of all the Tie-Fighters? Out of all the subtle changes you made, how could you have missed this one?

Well, the Purist version is a DVD-5, not a DVD-9, so yeah, it's not going to look as good.  DVD-9s have 8.5 gigs to use, while DVD-5s only have 4.7 gigs, which means anything on a single-layer DVD (aka DVD-5) will be more heavily compressed to fit than if it were on a DVD-9.  That's the whole point of releasing a DVD-9, even though most people don't want to bother with or can't do dual-layer burning - it's better quality.

Ady didn't spend that much time on the Purist version, if I remember correctly - it was mostly done to appease fans who were unhappy with some changes to the full version (specifically music changes and such).  Apparently there was one other big reason that he's being all secretive about.  At any rate, because it wasn't "his" verison, so to speak, he didn't release a DVD-9 of it.  And since the original ANH:R files no longer exist, that's the best the "Purist" version will ever look (which is fine by me since I don't really care about it that much).
