A-man , wouldn't it be better to hold off sending discs out until i can see if i can fix the skipping issue? What method did you use to remove the 2:3 pulldown on the AOTC DVD?
I've notified the people that have made requests of the issue and how we (mostly You haha) are working on getting it fixed, but some want it anyways. And I just ripped the film with DVD Fab, and then converted it using AutoGK; I went through the process for ROTS, TPM and SW:R and didn't get that problem.

I still don't quite understand what has happened here from a tech standpoint, and I guess I'll never understand why A-man didn't hold on to the original project files, but I suppose that is a dead horse now that doesn't need beating. I'm encouraged that adywan is showing interest, and I'm hoping a fixed version will be available at some point.
As I said, I'm trying to hold my tongue until things shake out. I'm wishing the best for A-man and this edit.
To paint you the picture here's the full explanation...
When I first started, my computer had a 30GB harddrive and a 2Ghz single core processor with 512Gb of RAM. The computer was already old and was progressively getting slower and slower.
When I began editing, I had my files split between the My Music, My Pictures and My Videos folders with a specific folder for Star Wars Renascent that had the rips and the renders. I soon found I was running out of space, so I bought a 250 GB harddrive, which I then used to transfer my files over - some of the files couldn't be copied over properly due to a redirection issue so I had to keep some in their original file paths.
My computer's speed was so slow, that every little bit of video would lag on my screen regardless so I couldn't tell anyways, so I had to toss it and get a new one (which is why I was in such a hurry to toss it). As soon as I had the money, I did so and all the file mapping got screwed up. I DO have the original project file on the harddrive, but it won't load the project properly.
I mean I redirected everything but that AVI issue was never resolved on this new computer so now none of the rips work. The only thing I could work with would be the MPEG video track which would be the same as the DVD video track that Ady will be using. The difference being that I don't know how to resolve the issue but ady might be able to.
Ady, before you try that method, I'm going to try and convert the AOTC to an MPEG, and try and replace the AOTC scenes and then use the MPEG render for everything. I could also try and fit some AOTC colour correcting in there if this works.

I'll be mailing the discs to Adywan in a couple of hours.
Hold off on that, I may have a solution.
EDIT: What the crap!? After recovering the project file on this comp, it looks like AOTC is in 25fps, but then the file on my computer says 23.976fps. Now I'm really confused...
Alright two solutions here: I rip it again, convert it to a WMV and replace the scenes with AOTC and use the MPEG render for the rest OR option two would be to see what ady can do.
