Harmy, if you do make a BD25 version of this down the line, is there any chance you could include the 81 crawl via seamless branching? That would make me very happy :)

I wouldn't mind this either, since it's the version I grew up with.

I might try - I do have an HD scan of it somewhere.
Have you ever tried seamless branching before? From what I hear, it usually ain't so seamless.
Well apparently Harmy now has access to some bad-ass BD authoring software, which may change things.
...and since we brought it up, seamless branching would work for translated crawls, translated alien subtitling, and, if they exist, translated credits.
Can of worms is now fully opened.

True for DVD but I think bluray is a different matter as the files are physically different.

I wonder what video codec he used - avi isn't properly compatible with h.264/mpeg-4 and most software out there used to encode mp4 will automatically mux it to .mp4 or .mkv not .avi... and he says "convert mkv to avi" as if he doesn't even realize that the container format has nothing to do with the video format. As I said before!

I used seamless branching for a multilingual Blu-ray based on Harmy's DeEd and foreign projects based on it with multiAVCHD. Well I can confirm it's NOT seamless AT ALL. But I think professional software might be able do fix it.

Please bear with me if I tend to get too excited about anything or say too much, I have issues.

Does multiAVCHD really support seamless branching? I'd think it just uses playlists, which is something completely different (and thus not seamless).
Holy crap, five people in a row have spelled "seamless" correctly. Take that FE.org!

Well yes, that's what I used actually, but I don't know any other way of doing the same thing.

Seamless branching worked fine with me using Adobe Encore.

As far as I know Adobe Encore doesn't support seamless branching... again, playlists are NOT the same.

I put two different video files in a timeline and the transition was seamless is all.
Adobe Encore doesn't support seamless branching no, but you can use BDEdit afterwards to remove all the duplicate video files and link them all to the same place.

This is exactly what we call a playlist.

My bad.
Although really if you want seamless branching? Pony up for Scenarist, that is if you can afford it.

Reviewers there love the word, but only about half of them can spell it.
Not sure if it's been mentioned on the many pages before, but I was wondering what is the highest bitrate I should use convert the MKV to MP4 for playback on PS3. I saw on the ESB thread that the MKV for ESB v2 would be 15000kbps. Just trying to get the best image quality possible with the setup I have.
Thanks
I'm not certain the max bitrate the PS3 supports, but if you can't remux then I suggest using x264's constant quality mode. RF 16-18 (lower is higher quality) and tune "grain" to preserve the film grain.
Normally I'd suggest a higher RF number but typically more quality is needed when recompressing multiple times. x264 does a relatively good job in these cases but a slightly lower RF (more bits) makes the conversion more transparent.
Hey, I'm currently getting the MKV V2.5, and I noticed it says it has the mono mix. Is that the original one with the different voice for Aunt Beru? Also, the mkv file is 17.9 gb, this may be a question that was answered earlier but there's almost 500 pages so I don't think I could effectively search for it, but is there a way to decrease the size of the file by getting rid of the different language audio tracks, if so, how? The answer may be a bit obvious, but I'm not very knowledgeable about such things :)

Yes, that's the one mono mix.
Yes, the size of the mkv can be obviously decreased by throwing out streams you don't need. Just download mkvtoolnix and mkvmergegui and do this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uabfq_Wtn6U
Great, thanks a lot!
So, I just realized, that on the HDD, which died on me yesterday, there was a copy of the "These Amazing Shadows" documentary, some footage from which I was going to use for my DeEd docs :-( Any chance anyone's got it on BD (or at least DVD) and could help me out?

I found the entire special on YouTube. It's not DVD quality, so I don't know if it would help out.
