Do people still use DVD/Bluray players do they? How quaint!

Yes, some still do; myself included.

Is your TV calibrated to sRGB then? Did you calibrate it relative to the input signal from the HTPC or did you calibrate it independently? Which probe do you use?

Are you feeding it from a playback unit (e.g., the Blackmagic Design UltraStudio Mini Monitor) or directly from your video card?

Video cards are damn unreliable when it comes to critical viewing on a calibrated setup.

I sure hope you're doing things right considering the amount of dick measuring you have going on in your post.

Sorry my post was meant to be light hearted. You have showed me how inadequate my setup is.

I am just so used to doing without silver discs, that I am surprised these days when people talk about them.

No offence intended.

None taken, I was kind of going the same direction as you. Especially as far as DVDs go. The only real use for DVDs that I have is SD television shows that will probably never get a better release. No use burning DVDs, as the DL ones are unreliable, and the equivalent hdd space is negligible. 

But, actually, I just bought a BR burner this year, thanks mostly to all the fantastic quality encodings from members of this site and similar groups. The 25-50gb files were quickly filling up my hdd space, and I figured I might as well store them (or their backup copies, in some cases) with nice cases on the shelf. I end up grabbing the better quality versions of things like Harmy's project (making this an on topic post ;) ) instead of settling for a 8 gb lower bitrate encoding.

Dang, that was your cue to trash-talk CRT's! Oh well, maybe next time.

 And that was *your* cue to trash-talk T-9 phones!

The whole point was that AVCHD is meant to allow you to watch HD quality video on a standalone player if you don't have a Blu burner.  If you aren't using a standalone player, watch a higher quality version.

Wonderful for your hernia...

Been trying to get these fine versions for ages and now my eldest kid is nearly 5 and beginning the first stages to watching films - and understanding them, I really and urgently need these films ASAP. So when I saw they were also available as torrents I was over the moon.

Always found JDownloader too fiddly and didnt really understand it so torrents it is...but could someone help me??? please????

The Torrents for all for all of them just says "finding peers" and not actually downloading anything :(

I am super desperate for these versions I really am. If anyone can upload the torrents of these fine films and fine versions, please, please, please upload them. 

Incidently, the versions I am downloading are as follows:

ANH - 17.8GB

ESB - 19.7GB

ROTJ - 7.87GB (Is this right?)

 Looks like you found the correct versions.

Do the sites you're downloading them from say there are peers? Specifically, seeders? If so, you might have an issue with your firewall. Try unblocking the port that your client says is being used. Failing that, try getting those same versions from another site. The most popular sites out there, that might rhyme with "lickbass", for instance, would have more people on the same torrent than a flybynight russian website.

Thanks again, Harmy. I love what you've done with the colours. What did you use as a reference for the colours?

This seems relevant to the ESB theatrical experience, and therefore the DeEd.
