A bit more saturation would be nice and closer to the theatrical. If you can accomplish this, it would be nice. However, if it's too much trouble, don't bother.
I don't mind how it looks now, though more colour could be nice... Just so long as we don't get carrotpeople! ;-)

+1 if the right balance can be achieved. Otherwise don't worry about it.
This is exciting!

Hello.
The unfortunate news about the OT Blu-Ray's has driven me here. Unfortunately I'm not finding the DJ trilogy in any of the usual places.
Would somebody be kind enough to PM me a point in the right direction?
Thanks.
Version 3 is not ready yet, and is probably worth the wait, but I don't have version 2 or know how to get it.

I think I found version 2 through search engines, but whoever uploaded it stripped it of its readme, so it could be version 1...
This signature uses Markdown syntax, which makes it easy to add formatting like italics, bold, and lists:
IIRC, version 1 and 2 are almost the same. The only differences are:
V1 - Yellow subtitles in letterboxing, not on image; ESB "Magic Tree" sequence has judder issues
V2 - Yellow subtitles in image itself; ESB "Magic Tree" sequence fixed
Am I right about that, DJ? I only ever had V1.
mr_teaspoon, I just sent you a PM for v1 of the Dark Jedi GOUT.
Totally new here, so apologies if this has been discussed to death. When the V3 comes out, from what I've been reading in this thread DJ has no plans to release x264s. However, is there other ways to encode from DJs raw version to x264 (instead of transcoding the dvds)? I'm sure I'm not alone in having dropped the dvd format in favor of HTPC running XBMC.
Just curious. I'm also just as happy to load the dvds as ISOs and go that route.
Cheers!

Everyone realizes that the script already has an 8% bump in saturation, right? I had a script at one point that did a 14% bump in saturation, and that was great for a few scenes, but looked like the SE DVD for alot of the scenes. (Lobster skin, neon yoda, electric R2...) The major problem with the GOUT is not the color, but the brightness/contrast, which the script also adresses.

g-force: Hmm, but I thought that the samples that dark_jedi had posted from his master .avi file (which are looking great overall, btw! :) ) already had your script run on them? And yet the colors seemed to appear under saturated when compared to the other clip of the same scene that had the saturation levels elevated.
What do you think of the video and screen shot comparisons with varying saturation levels posted on pages 2 and 3 of this thread (link below)?

Maybe it's only in some scenes in each movie that some extra saturation is called for to get closer to the theatrical appearance, with the rest being ok at the 8% boost from the current script?
But I agree that we definitely want to avoid reddish skin, it's most important to keep the flesh tones as accurate as possible. If that means a certain degree of under saturation for the rest of the image, then so be it.
The Star Wars trilogy. There can be only one.

I can see the levels and hue tweaks, but not the saturation boost.
A saturation tweak was definitely in an earlier version but it looks like you took it out?

They were already ran through the script, NO changes to g-force's script at all, only change was taking his subs out and using msycamores.

You are right! I took it out completely. Don't remember why, but I'm changing my answer. The script to afford to have a little saturation boost!

Funnily enough, I put on dark_jedi's first version the other day and thought the colors looked boosted compared to G-Force's last encoding. The colors looked quite good actually.
Damn, I save everything, especially all the older g-force scripts, but now I can't find them, could someone post the old ones so I can see these settings and try them out?
Thanks, in the meantime I will keep searching.
I couldn't swear to it because I haven't compared both encodings side by side, but all this talk of colors made me look more closely at them this time, and they seemed more vibrant than I remembered g-force's encoding being. It's probably the 8% boost g-force was talking about earlier.

all of my published scripts used sat=1.08 previous to removing is completely (I'm still not sure why it was removed).

Thank you g-force for that info, so would you add it back in, or are you going to leave it out?
@ vbangle, Mielr, ChainsawAsh, starwarsfan8376, rogueOne and Sluggo, please check your PM's.
I posted it over there, when it should have been here. The DM's tweaked version makes the skin-tones look ashen. I didn't think it was an improvement.
