Curious question; what are the proper dimensions to print out the BD covers? When I load them to photoshop they come out gigantic. I tried taking them to Kinko's and Officemax and the same thing. They told me I had to pay an extra $7 to cover poster printing! LOL! Would really appreciate the help.

Harmy, I do have to thank you for putting all the time and effort on these releases! I've been getting a kick out of watching the OT in HD!

10.65 Width

5.867 Height

that will ensure it is side to side with no gap.

One last thing, this is in inches?

There's a great prog that was recommended to me called "undercoverxp".  I was having trouble too making covers then I used this and selected bluray and they came out perfectly.  Here's the link:   http://undercoverxp.tk/

   Oh, by the way, despite the name it works in Windows 7 too.

I'll give this a try if I can't get it right with Photoshop. Would I have to use Legal paper or would regular size do with UndercoverXP?

 

I used regular size paper.   I definitely would try undercoverxp if I were you.  From what I've read on other forums people swear by it.  It worked like a charm for me too.

edit:   You won't have to worry about those measurements above with undercoverxp you just select bluray and it does all the work for you.

What kind of paper did you use?  Photo?  Your welcome, if it was my help you used.

I originally tried Photoshop, but my computer is too weak now (old P4) and crashed! So, I tried the app you recommended and it was flawless! After some surgery with a ruler and X-acto knife these covers fit perfectly with my cases. 

And yes, I did use photo paper. Kodak Premium Picture Paper, it came out nice and fits well with my other blu-ray discs.

Does Jdownloader automatically extract the .iso file once all the pieces have been downloaded?

Something is up with the link, it finds you name in the title but says "Sorry, that page was not found."

When I click the link, it says "Sorry, this page was not found." The new ROTJ comparisons also don't show up on your Album Page, Harmy; is this a problem on my end?

Sorry, guys, my bad, I had the visibility set to limited. All the links should work fine now.

This is my first post here--as will become even more abundantly clear in just another couple of sentences or so--and I want to extend thanks in advance to anyone willing to help out a complete noob.

I came across Harmy's edits of the holy trilogy through a link from the Rebelscum forums and immediately ran out to buy some dual-layer DVD-R discs while RotJ downloaded. I got home, downloaded ImgBurn, then set out to burn a copy of the movie. About half an hour into the process, I got a bunch of error messages and wound up with a new frisbee.

Since then, I've been browsing through the forums here looking for instructions on how to burn the DVD, but I haven't found anything I can use (which is not to say that there isn't anything there; maybe I just haven't looked hard enough). If anyone could help me out with some instructions on what to do, I'd be deeply appreciative.

Here's what I'm working with:

I have a 15.8 GB folder on my external hard drive that contains all of the files that were downloaded through JDownloader from the link provided on tehparadox.com. In this folder, I have 42 files: 41 "ROTJ AVCHD.partxx.rar" files (where "xx" is the number on each file, 01-41), each 200MB, and one ROTJ AVCHD.ISO file, 7.9GB. I have a six-year-old Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop, running ImgBurn through a Windows shell on Ubuntu.

I had chosen "Write image file to disc" when starting ImgBurn, then selected the 7.9GB ISO file as the source. As far as I could tell from what I had read around here, that seemed the course of action most likely to yield success; but, then, you know...errors. Is it possible that my DVD burner can't burn to a dual-layer disc? Maybe I left something out in setting up ImgBurn? I know the instructions linked by Harmy in the ESB thread mention something about "CERTIFICATE" and "BDMV" folders (neither of which exist on my system), but that seemed to be aimed towards creating an ISO file, which I thought I already had.

Again, if anyone can provide any help (preferably phrased as if presented to your well-intentioned grandpa who's just learning to use a computer), it would be really, really great.

Sounds like you need to unpack the RARs.  Try the program below.  It's not that hard to use. ;)

The franchises I get nerdy about are so obscure that not even most nerds know about them.

I'm late to the party, but I just downloaded all of these and man, harmy, your work here is mindblowing. As a plus, everyone I know is now going to get a copy of these instead of the blu-rays because I've been gushing about them so much.

All around excellent, and as close as I'll ever get to a high quality version of the original movies I grew up with. Thank you!

No, he's apparently already unrared the files, as he's got the ISO file. I don't know what the problem could be. It is possible, however unlikely, that your laptop indeed can't burn DL-DVDs. You may want to try and burn on someone else's computer.

Here's a guide anyway:

Thanks for these releases, Harmy. Much obliged indeed.

Now I'm waitin' on DJ's blu to hit the web. I'm very curious to see how that one look and sound compare to your's(the sound should be better if I'm not mistaken)

NO comparison LOL, and that is NOT a fair one, his Edits are based on the HD broadcasts, mine are not, and his are not 100% de specialized as he calls it, so these are 2 different projects altogether, and should be treated as such, these are not even remotely the same, and I am sure he would tell you the same thing.

I definitely would and will. They are two different projects using different sources which both have their own merits and problems and it'd indeed be ill-advised to compare them.

Alright, I kinda thought that DJ's was something similar with a mix between HD and upscaled gout. I'm stil very curious to see how it looks and to have the higher bitrate audio as well.

Downloading as we speak. It'll be a while before I can watch it. I don't have a lot of free time to watch movies going to school. I still need to watch Empire.

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

Well, I downloaded both the HD version of ANH and the SD version of ESB; after burning both to DVD, the former won't play in my BD player and the latter jumps around like Yoda in a fight. A rip of ESB off Handbrake plays perfectly, though, so the problem is clearly with my DVD-RW drive.

With that said, what I've seen of ESB is beautiful. You're a generous man, Harmy...thanks so much! Now I'm anxiously waiting for ANH SD to download and RotJ SD to get posted.

You say you DLed the HD version of SW, why not download all the HD versions? And anyway, the SD version of Jedi will be on tehparadox in about five minutes. Big thanks to Chewtobacca for doing the conversion!!!

  Just got finish watching  the DVD5 still looking for the DVD9.  It was just amazing.  No complaints.  Felt like that 14 year old who saw it in the theater back in 83.

 I am just speechless. Wow!
