I might be having a ROTJ bonus disc coming in the mail, so I can finally put this to rest.

So sad to hear it.
Was hoping you'd spend some time to learn QuickSFV or some such.
Betcha we could've tracked down the problem with your corrupt download
and fixed the source, if necessary, for the community's benefit.
But as long as you're getting yours....

Oh yeah, I had an ulterior motive too.
The idea of SFV's from your original Gonzo discs makes me drool.

However, in practice you must take into account the “fuckwit factor”. Just talk to Darth Mallwalker…

Damn man, why are you so harsh?  That's two personal attacks now.  Who the HELL said that once I get a good copy, I wouldn't share it?  The whole idea of me getting these things glitch-free is so I can set up some torrents!  Back off!

I tried QuickSFV, and the program kept crashing.  I had to scan each rar individually, and QuickSFV said they were all "good."  Which of course is NOT the case.

So, the best thing is to get a copy from someone that has it without the glitch.

Have you tried getting the version posted to usenet 21 days ago? I don't know if its from the same rip that was posted to tehparadox though

I downloaded 1-3 from tehparadox and experienced no problems.  Only 4 was downloaded from usenet, which I believe you posted, but I think that I have only played that through my media player.  Perhaps there is a problem with the usenet upload of 3.

I didn't say it.
I'm aware you've been sharing stuff; I saw your "Removed" thread before it was.

My idea was to check the VOB file(s) inside the RAR archive, or inside the ISO as the case may be, not checking the RAR parts.
After all, you've already downloaded the RARs twice (3 times?) and gotten the same bad video each time, right?
On my disc VTS_05_1.VOB contains Soundtrack!. That's the file I'd be checking first.

I've grabbed the VTS_05_1.VOB from usenet twenty-some days ago.
It has the same SFV as I got from usenet five years ago, which I posted in my first attack.
From that VOB I ripped the Soundtrack! cell and PM'ed the link to Tray last week.
I think he'd agree it's not corrupted in the same way his other copies were.

Based on Tray's experience over multiple downloads, I wonder if teh paradox version might be corrupt (inside the RAR parts).
I'd like to see it replaced IFF in fact it is wonky, but Tray's future torrent won't accomplish that.
Just as Tray suggested (s)he doesn't wish to (re)learn usenet at this time, I don't wish to install J-download at this time.
If somebody could get me the links to RAR parts (not DLC) I'll do the comparison.

I shall test my disc tomorrow, but I do not recall any extraction or playback problems.

What's next?
Who's our paradox liason? AvP is the first name pops into my head, but it doesn't mean he's the only one...
Please note: I'm not pointing fingers of blame at AvP or anyone else, just wondering who can get it fixed?

Over the weekend as time allows I'll double-check the entire usenet post from twenty-some days ago against my copy.
I'll glady supply to anyone who wants the SFV file segaflip posted five years ago, which I expect to match the one on usenet now (I'll confirm it).
I'd post it right here and now, only I've been under the impression Jay & Moth3r don't particularly want this place to become a hash repository

Use a trial.  Trials often go up to about 4GB, so that should be enough for Rowman's ROTJ Extras, which is 3.6 GB.

I bit the bullet and installed UseNeXT.

The copy of the RowMan ROTJ bonus disc I got from there does NOT have the glitch.

:)  :)  :)

Somebody needs to pull it from tehparadox and re-up it from the UseNet source.

I have 4 Rowman Supplemental discs: Star Wars, ESB, ROTJ and one more. Is anyone interested in me seeding these to myspleen? Also, is it against any rules to seed these since I'm not Rowman? I don't want to step on any toes, break any rules, etc.

Also, what is the preferred file type? ISO? DVD file structure?


thanks,

nmr

Glad to see there's still interest. I certainly don't mind if you seed. I'm unable to do so myself.

The Rowman supplemental discs for episodes IV, V, & VI are now being seeded on myspleen if anyone is interested. These are the ISO files only.

Thanks to RowMan for giving me the go ahead on seeding these great discs and Thanks to NONE for nudging me in the right direction to learn how to reseed something.

Other than the original Jabba, are there deleted scenes on these that are not on the Blu-ray extras?

I'm specifically wondering about "Jedi-jump" - is this the scene in ROTJ where Luke leaps to the top of the Rancor's cage and the Jawas knock him back down?

Also curious about "Luke's Introduction" and "C-3PO's Diversion".

It has the deleted scenes from Behind the Magic for ANH and the original Jabba scene, and all other deleted scenes are merely a few pictures and very short clips from the trailers.  Jambe Davdar's works are more thorough.

Hey everyone. I am looking for these RowMan extras discs of the OT, especially the Laserdisc extras DVD-R. I am trying to watch all of the OT extras and went to watch my old Definitive edition LD set and it looks like my Laserdisc is not working as well any more. The step stuff was jittering and when I put in the supplemental disc of Empire it didn't play the last half of the extras. Could anyone help me get these Rowman extras discs? Thank you very much for any help you can provide.

So I’m trying to seed the 4 RowMan Ultimate Supplemental DVDs on myspleen but I don’t have my original ISO, all I have is my DVD. There are torrents on myspleen that use the contents of the ISO, but not the ISO. However, my DVD doesn’t quite match that torrent and I’m sitting at 99% for the 4 torrents. If someone with the DVDs that match the torrent on myspleen wants to jump on for 5 minutes and get me to 100%, I’d appreciate it so I can start seeding these.

Thanks!

3 down, 1 to go. I picked up the last few pieces from a peer and am now seeding the Extras disc, Star Wars Bonus, and ROTJ Bonus.

If someone with the ESB Bonus DVD can hop on and get me to 100%, I’ll be able to seed all 4.

Thanks again!

FWIW that peer was the uploader.
Looks like nobody has the idx file. If we knew which app wrote it…
I’m having trouble reading my ten-year-old disc. Its media ID is RICOHJPN/R01


I CAN read my disc in a different drive.
Tell us which file(s) are incomplete

It looks like all I’m missing is the idx file to get me to 100% for the ESB Bonus DVD

Thanks!

The torrent’s piece length is 4096KiB.
If we call the first piece 0, then piece 913 comprise
last 58KiB of VTS_05_1.VOB plus first 4038KiB of VTS_01_1.VOB.idx.
That’s the missing piece.
Rest of .idx file is in piece 914, which you have.
I believe benduwan has the .idx file, else you wouldn’t have 914.

I suspect the .idx file was created by Avidemux.
If so, then it would contain a folder name of the person who wrote it.
That folder won’t be easy to guess.
The .idx file is ASCII text, with very long lines.
Microsoft Notepad might not open it, but WordPad should do.
If benduwan could copy/paste the first three lines here . . .

Cool, I picked up the last piece from someone so I’m able to seed all 4 discs now. Thanks for trying to help out Mallwalker
