Harmy's STAR WARS Despecialized Edition HD - V2.7 - MKV (Released) — Page 484

Ok, in regards to the real world, I decided it would be less confusing if fans (including myself) only need to download the Despecialized Edition and not bother with all those confusing .srts (they confused me). So, I decided to convert the MKV file into an AVI file. I then uploaded it on YouTube.com, but Fox almost immediately blocked it on copyright grounds. Then, I uploaded it on archive.org.

So you can watch the Despecialized Edition at:           * DELETED *

For some reason, I can't stream the video (as of this writing). But fans can still download it. No need to download all the confusing stuff (well, to me, it was confusing) that I mentioned above.

 Dude. What the hell.

No way Harmy gave permission for any of this.

If he did, I'll eat my hat. With mustard.

1.2 GB AVI :(

No, I did not give permission and I'd like it to be taken down immediately - for one, there's a good reason for the ways to download this to be somewhat cryptic and also, I definitely don't support my work being released in such terrible, awful, incredibly low (I could continue with the  adjectives of horribleness) quality - and either way, the link should definitely not be posted here - it's against forum rules!

And uploading this to youtube is also a terrible idea!

And I don't know what you find so confusing about the srt files, they are just subtitles, so if you don't need subtitles, you can simply ignore them altogether.

That's the least of our concerns.

No etiquette, no respect of the rules...

I know I'm not a mod and I should be minding my own beeswax, but this ain't looking right to me.

Yeah, looking at the thumbnails on the archive.org site it looks like it was transcoded hastily with a free program as some of them have what looks like the "this is a free version" watermark in the middle of the image!!

This doesn't fit with a misguided fan if you ask me.

Someone legitimately trying to get themselves and others a good copy of this would not go and use a transcoder with a watermark every 5 mins......

 Are you calling shenanigans?

What a dumbass!

Can I just remind everyone that if you quote a post, then the original post is edited by a mod, the quoted part in your post doesn't automatically change to the edited version - I have to go in and do it manually.

I know this is off-topic, but consider that making things easier for people isn't always a good solution.

We don't wish to become the Eloi, do we?

Let me get this straight. You (Ebaillargeon82) took the despecialized version, compressed it to a 1.2 GB avi, removed all audio tracks except the 70mm mix, despite your preference for the 35mm stereo mix, watermarked it, and uploaded it to archive.org and YouTube.

What the blank made you think you would get away with this? Are you trying to get Harmy in trouble? Also, I'm sure the official 97se VCDs look better than this crap, and they weren't that much bigger in size. Can anyone confirm this theory?

Harmys despecialized is a masterpiece for what it attempts to do. What you did could possibly bring it to the ground. I hope you're happy, because I'm not.

 Sorry about that. I wasn't thinking. I was just baffled.

mmm... Still, if one just sent an email saying "somebody just uploaded STAR WARS on your servers" I think they'd take it down immediately.

Currently using my public teacher twitter account to talk to a guy who works for the Archive to see about getting it taken down

Okay, yeah, he says email info@archive.org

Good God what a dunce. Ugh.
