I created an xdelta patch for going from the pre-fix version to the final fixed version (with correct audio labels, etc.). If you have the old version and don't want to redownload ~20GB or muck about with mkv editors, you can use this. Just extract it to the same folder as the mkv video file and run the .bat file. You need to make sure to have the same name as originally downloaded or to edit the .bat file if you've changed it. And be sure to have another ~20 GB available before starting as it will create a whole new file!

Dropbox link, hopefully will work here

I tested and verified, the fixed version should match the official md5 of 1e34878403b05924f71354e961016fce after completion.

 Thanks for this!!!

The sheer increase in overall detail and recovering the backgrounds, fine detail and skin tones from the botched (again) BD is alone reason for looking at the Despecialized, but here with the new color timing ESB finally begins to look again like a 1980 motion picture as it should and not some modern video with no life to it.

And having both the 1980 stereo AND the 16mm mono track in lossless just seals the deal. Harmy, you have seriously mined for everything out of Bespin here, another stellar job to match SW 2.5.
