Wookie Groomer's 1080p Star Wars Saga project (Released) — Page 25

Saw that AoTC BD50 is going up.....can't wait to download this!!  Brilliant job WG, as always.

Remember, I made special single layer bluray editions of Sith and Clones for you BD50 challenged guys so you don't have to re-encode or re-author these.

I noticed and that is cool,but there are no BD25 versions of the OT.

So what encoder do you use and what authoring software?

@Wookie,

What kind of software are u using to author the menu's of your releases? I want to demux the whole lot, add dutch subs and after that re-created your menu's.

With kind regards,

Just wanted to say that I downloaded Clones and burnt to a BD50 yesterday.  Watched it through last night including the Accross the Stars video. 

It's an absolutely amazing release and I cannot thank you enough Wookie Groomer.  The picture quality is razor sharp and the audio is first-class too.  I am completely blown away by this release and I'd urge anybody who has the means to download this and Wookie Groomer's other blu-ray releases and burn them to a blu-ray disc; they really do set the standard in HD.

Thanks again Wookie - I can't wait for Menace :¬) 

WG you might want to double check your AOTC BD25 cover art,you have it at 25GB DUAL LAYER,also not sure if you have been reading all these posts or not but some of us are very curious what encoder you use and what authoring program,some of us,myself included would like to do some of our own authoring and am curious what program to try,unless of course you have been reading the posts and just are ignoring us and keeping your programs "Top Secret" for some strange reason.

but anyways there is an error on your AOTC BD25 case art,and Thanks much for sharing all that you share.

PowerDVD won't let me take a screengrab,wonder why? but the Sith BD25 menu is just a very simple basic static menu(no sound)with a couple of options which also go to a static menu,very simple.

dark_jedi and those asking what programs he uses - it could be because he's hard at work trying to finish Phantom Menace too! Don't automatically assume it's because he's ignoring you; he may not be!

After all, he *is* doing this for free, and doesn't actually owe us anything, really.

I'd second that.  WG has said that Phanto Menace is going to be a challenge and I'd say that pnag is right in that he'll no doubt be working hard on finishing it.

Give the man time :)

@DarkJedi,

I always use Arcsoft Total Media Theather for my screen-captures, if you cannot find it pm me for a solution.

Cheers,

A corrected "Attack Of The Clones" BD25 insert has been posted to the usual place for those that want it. The Phantom Menace BD50 Deluxe Edition should see the light of day any moment now...

I managed to grab the original trilogy (13gb WMV versions) last week & all I can say is WOW !!!!!

Thanks very much WG

Well.... I downloaded the 50 gig version of Revenge of the Sith off of Usenet, but there's no par files. I have several files that appear to be corrupt and no way to repair them. Anyone know where some par files may be or am I out of luck?

edit: I will send bd50s for em' with other stuff.. pm me!

@ 5acrifice,

I have sent you a PM,if you still need assistance that is.

I have ALL of WG's releases both BD25 and BD50,I also have the OT on BD25's.

Wookie Groomer: Thank you for this beautiful collection.  I believe I have all of your releases in the quality I want: Hope - Jedi BD50, Clones BD25.  I just finished watching Return of the Jedi, and I tried out the alternate audio for Lapti Nek and the Ending song.  The ending song is bearable, with just a bit of the new song on the beginning.  But Lapti Nek needs some work in my opinion.  Are you planning on cleaning that up at any point to make it more like the original?  Is it a timing problem in the film with the new CGI crap?  The version of Lapti Nek in the original film is a bit different - more groovy, as you probably know.  Could we capture it from a laserdisk rip in 5.1 and graft it into your alternate audio?  I'm no expert at Bluray authoring, so I don't know how difficult this would be, but I would definitely volunteer my time and bandwidth to make it happen.

As a side note, I'm able to watch all the Bluray films on my x86_64 Ubuntu Linux box smoothly using mplayer and only free codecs (ffh264 and a52), and I'm able to watch your older releases (VC1) also using only free codecs (ffvc1 and ffwmapro).  It was a pain to set up, but I can send instructions on request to anyone that's interested.  I may do a little blog post about it in the future.

Again, this is constructive criticism.  This is most definitely the best set so far.

Just finished burning Phantom Menace to a BD50 and popped it in a PS3.  Movie looks very good indeed Wookie Groomer and huge thanks and appreciation as always.  It was always going to be the 'grainy one' but you've done a superb job with it and the colour correction is neat too.

I didn't get the chance to watch it all the way through, nor the extras - it was more of a disc test exercise, shuttling through random chapters prior to my marathon WG blu-ray 6-movie session (and two days off sick from work next week), when I will watch each movie in order plus all the extras.

Once again, thank you for all your work and dedication to this project. The set look beautiful and I'd seriously doubt that Star Wars in HD will look better prior to an official commercial release.
