Don't ask for projected release dates. The answer you get (March 14th, 2015 at 9:32:03 AM GMT) will be wrong, off by months or more.

If you want to watch it anytime soon, download 1.0 now. If you want better quality, you'll need to wait with the rest of us.

In all fairness, he didn't ask for a projected release date--only a reasonable estimate of whether it is expected to be released "soon" versus "not soon" in order to make a decision related to ROTJ v1.0. Harmy may not ever be in a position to provide accurate release projections well in advance, but I don't think an impending release of his work has ever caught everyone by surprise.

I do agree that pestering for release dates is pointless, as even professionals in creative fields are notorious for providing wildly inaccurate estimates. I just think dclarkg's request isn't an example of this.

As for your first question, ROTJ is on version 1.0. Harmy is currently working on a 2.0, and this will be more comparable to his SW (v.2.5) and ESB (v.2.0) releases. This new version will be available on MKV, and I would recommend holding off on burning ROTJ until then.

That makes sense :p

Has Harmy said when v2.0 is coming out? If it is arounf the corner I'll wait for V2.0 but if it's going to take a while I don't mind burning v1.0 and then v2.0 when it comes out. Thx for the response

Last I recall, Harmy was still waiting for 35mm footage to incorporate into v2.0. With that in mind, it will definitely be a while. CatBus' recommendation to download v1.0 is indeed your best bet for now.

Already download it, thx. :)

Harmy said:

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't say that ROTJ would be done soon - it could be a month, it could be a year but it definitely won't be like next week or something.

Thx for the clarification.

I don't mind waiting 5 years if I have to, I know that the wait will be worthwhile.

But it'll cost you. 10 thousand all in advance.

Memorex said:

10.000?? We could almost buy our own 35mm for that!

CatBus said:

But who's gonna scan it, kid? You?

Memorex said:

U bet I could, I'm not such a bad scanner myself..

You guys made my day haha

Actually not all Blu-ray players play AVCHD on DVD9. Sony's, Panasonics, and Oppos do by and large, others are more hit and miss depending on the model (e.g. Samsung). If the DVD9 doesn't work, you'd need a BD-R or a different player.

I guess I'll be watching them on the computer for a while, after all that is the place where I see all my movies :P
