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.

 I just wanted to know if there was any old news on that matter that. I apologize if I sounded like I was demanding something, it wasn't the intention.

As for burning to a BD-R, just use tsmuxer to turn the MKV into a Blu-Ray folder, and imgburn to burn the folder to a BD-R.

 No mkv here, that's why I asked :p

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.

It'll probably be done in less than twelve parsecs, though.

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

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

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

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

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.

 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. :)

Thx for the clarification.

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

 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

 We can pay two thousand now... plus fifteen when we reach v2.5.

Seventeen huh? Alright you got yourselves an off-topic conversation...

...And we all know who here excels in off-topic conversation...

anathema...You were right...you were right about him...

Tell your fellow originaltrilogy.com members... you were right *dies*

We aint found shit!

Does anybody know about a good program to convert the m2ts file to mkv? I tried with a free program I found (I don't remember the name and I'm not at home) but I feel that the converted file has less quality than the original.
