Adywan, I know this project is being done in 720p but I came across this screenshot in this thread:

Why does it say 1024x576 instead of 1280x720? At first I thought it was because you started this project with the intent to do it in SD but that would be 720x576.

no, when i was working in SD the image was 1024x576 as this was the correct aspect ratio to work with as adding any effects have to be using a square pixel ratio. The HD source was downscaled to 1024 x 576 and would have been  scaled down to 720 x 576 and 720 x 480 for the respective PAL & NTSC DVD's. When i stated the project in HD all project files were replaced with the 720p versions and the same scaling will happen for the DVD releases

I almost hate to say this Ady, but those numbers are the tiniest bit wrong...

720x576 pictures should be upscaled to ~1050x576, because 16 (NTSC) or 18 (PAL) of those 720 pixels make up nominal analogue blanking and should not to be taken into account when calculating aspect ratios. The reverse is also true - HD video should be scaled to 702x576 or 704x480 and padded to 720 (or just 704, which is also legal for DVD video).

The Death Star schematic in my ANH edit is 2.5% off a true circle for exactly this reason *facepalm*. But as I've recently realised, the actual Death Star is 10% off, so no biggy.

Happily, the difference is barely noticeable even for that circle, and there's no NAB in HD which does have truly square pixels, but if we weren't sticklers for detail we wouldn't be here, right? ;)

sorry DE but i have to disagree there.  i scaled the HD to 1024 x 576 originally and when i upscaled the DVD from 720 x 576 to 1024 x 576 when i was doing image detail comparisons & the picture could be overlaid perfectly. It still works the same now i am working @ 1280 x 720. If i had upscaled the DVD to 1050x576 then overlaying it on top of the downscaled HD source would have resulted in the pixels not matching up

I see, so when you started in HD you deleted the SD files and downscaled the original HD broadcast to 1280x720 to work with?

Hey Obi-Wan, over here!  Remember me?  I'm the guy that got us off of Naboo in one piece.  Remember?  Obi-Wan?

Sheesh, still a prima donna after all these years.

Maybe this question has already been answered, but I figured I'd throw it out there. I was talking to some classmates about ESB:R the other day with some friends at school, and after showing them a trailer they asked me if in the final version, Obi-Wan would be transparent like he is in Return of the Jedi. I didn't have an answer for them, but I hadn't thought bout it. In ESB Obi-Wan Kenobi looks solid, with the only thing separating him from reality being the glowing aura around him. In ROTJ, though, he appears more transparent. Will Obi_Wan be left unchanged, or will he be more transparent and blue looking?

Hey, where did you find this shot Lord Grievous? - http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/234/screenshotvegas.jpg

I somehow missed that along the way, but it sure looks terrific!  Here's how the SE version currently looks by way of comparison - http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/8995/screenshot17u.png

Adywan's enhancements have transformed it, especially the colouring.

I'll cover this Bespin building soon vaderios, and that reminds me, I've come across another 'flipped' shot I never noticed before.  This time on Bespin, but it can be re-'flipped' without causing any problems I reckon.  :)

The typo strikes back.

Anyway, that one is listed as #85 in the update that's now linked in my signature below Timstuff, along with a screenshot.

I've now gathered another batch of things to add to the list over the next couple of days.

This was a temp/wip shot that ady showed the progress of the edit so far..

 

Cant wait on that ImpFighter :D

More flipped shots? :O

There seem to be parallels with Revisited and the original movie:

While filming in Norway, they encountered the worst winter storm in fifty years. Temperatures dropped to −20 °F (−28.9 °C), and 18 feet (5.5 m) of snow fell.[9] ...  The production then moved to Elstree Studios in London on March 13,[12] ...  A fire in January on Stage 3 (during filming of Stanley Kubrick's The Shining) caused the budget to spiral from $18.5 million to $22 million, and by July the budget spiraled $3 million more. Filming finished by mid-September.[12]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Episode_V:_The_Empire_Strikes_Back

...

We have a back up plan that's similar. =D Although $3 million exceeds the budget for us by about... err... $3 million. ;)

I actually have a set diary for the OG ESB... I'm gonna have to read it now. Maybe it'll give some insight and inspiration. =D

 

And me my budget exceeded from about $60 or more. Fortunately it doesn't attract that much attention, then nor the same amount of invisible forces... (Though I begin to have some doubts on that).

That said, may the Force be with you ! ;)

 

Edit: btw, how to reach page 300 of this topic (for exemple) ?

No need to apologise about disagreeing amicably! You're right that the DVD scales straight up to 1920x1080 - this means (I'm 99% certain) that the DVD is wrong. It's a bit sad that it doesn't even hurt to say that any more ;)

If you create a 720x576 image in Photoshop (CS or above) and set the aspect ratio (under advanced) to Wide PAL, it will be displayed at a width of 1051 pixels, not 1024.

Both VLC and Windows Media player get this "wrong" too, so I may try to dig a little more for a definitive answer.

Here's some more images of the new 1/144 Fine-molds Falcon, (remember Ady bought the 1/72 FM Falcon at an extortionate price)

Its pretty well detailed, don't really know how much it will be though.

MPlayer renders any 576 anamorphic to 1024, either 704x576 (I've played some widescreen EDTV TSes from itv4...don't ask) or 720x576.

It seems very confusing about which is the correct measurement for widescreen. Some places state its 1048 x 576 others 1050 x 576 but many state 1024 x 576. Even after effects up until cs4 had the aspect ratio resized to 1024 x 576. There is an aspect ratio calculator here that also states 1024 x 576

http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pixel_calc.htm

i'm going to go with that the correct resizing is in fact 1024 x 576. It isn't only the Star Wars DVD that matches perfectly with its HD counterpart. Just checked dorian gray PAL DVD against its Blu-Ray 1080p counterpart and that matches perfectly too.

WINDVD also resized PAL widescreen to 1024 x 576 so it seems that many players use this standard

(saving the SW soundboards)

If you are on a Mac and are using Safari, open Window/Activity there you will see all the soundboards of the current page you are looking at numbered eg: Stormtrooper_1 to Stormtrooper1_20, just hold down cmd and click with mouse and it will download into your downloads folder.
