The file should be about 20-25GB. The only way to retain the high quality that an HD encode can give (that you said you wanted) is to give the file a high enough bit-rate to make it happen. Also, Despecialized is going to be pretty close to the same file size, if not slightly smaller (16-20GB). I think revisited is only 480p, designed for a DVD, hence having such a small file size. You could also torrent if you can use that method, to help with the long waiting.

Ah yes, I have discovered since I asked this why the file is so large. I don’t actually need that. Although HD is nice, I thought the quality of Revisited was perfectly fine. What I mean by wanting higher quality is that I want something that has had colors fixed, special effects improved, mistakes corrected, etc so that it looks better in those ways.

I have now learned of another RotJ edit which sounds close to what I want, this one being by Q2. I have not yet been able to find it anywhere though (except for through GetNZB which requires me to pay before I can download the whole thing, and I don’t want to give my credit card info to them because I am not familiar with them and they don’t take PayPal). Does anyone know where I can download Q2’s RotJ edit?

P.S. Sorry for the double post, don’t know how to delete the first one.

Oh really? Cool. Now I just need to get an invite to MySpleen. I think I saw a thread saying how to do that on here somewhere…

Thank you!

I know I am a bit late here but is here a chance to get these uploaded on my spleen? Have been waiting for these DTS tracks. I would of course help continue to seed. 😃

Does anyone know what needs to be done to burn a Blu-ray disc of these? I tried using tsMuxer to generate a Blu-ray ISO from the MKV. The burned disc will start and then stop in the two Blu-ray players I tried. I’ve successfully converted other MKVs to BDs before. Anything special I need to do?

EDIT: Doh, just realized the resolution of the MKV is 1920x824. So I guess borders have to be added to make it 1920x1080.

Yea you need to use the program uncropMKV

I know they are available on the spleen but his versions with the DTS soundtracks are not. Those are the versions I am curious about.

Is there any chance somebody could seed the Attack of the Clones Regraded edition on myspleen? It’s only at 3 seeders right now.

I was particularly interested by the semi-specialized edition of A NEW HOPE and I must say that it has the edit I’ve wanted to see for a long time: all the good modifications left in, and the wrong ones deleted (cgi rock, Jabba, Greedo shooting, the slapstick humor of the Mos Esley entrance, and the awful cgi Dewback). This edit is great, and nicely done. The down part for me is the color correction, as i’m not convinced at all that a yellow filter matches the original look of the movie.

Hello.

After stumbling on this page, I went out to search for the Regraded Prequels on public trackers. On KAT, there are 2GB versions of II and III. Compared to the information on the first post of this thread, I assume these are not originals. Does anyone know of a public tracker with the full quality releases?

(Sorry for the begging as my first post).

Is Phantom Regraded the theatrical cut or the Blu Ray? Same as for Clones Regraded. I can’t get use to how George recut the Speeder going through the power couplings and Dooku’s escaped. Thanks in advance.

All my life as I looked away to the future, to the horizon. Never in my mind did I know where I was, what I was doing.

I believe they are all sourced from the Blu-ray so I doubt they are theatrical cuts

I have all SW movies in DVD, but I am very curious to check out the KK’s regrades.

All I need is a invitation to get into MySpleen.

Damn, just been catching up on all the posts relating to team negative1 being banned. Don’t know what to say. Can’t say I really understand what happened in terms of who owned the prints/who had the right to use them. I do kinda agree with those like Frink that felt that the team would all too often abuse the use of their team account to post controversial/inflamatory opinions in non-team negative1 related topics, especially relating to whether there would ever be an official release of the OUT. I remember reading those posts and shaking my head, thinking that they weren’t appropriate to post from a team account. A bannable offense? On its own probably not, but I think many could kinda see it coming, it was certainly a factor here I think, regardless of what happened with the prints, the prints were just the last straw it seems.

That said, I’ve seen their Silver Screen Edition of Star Wars and I think team negative1 did a great job and they deserve respect for that from everybody here. To me it is the best version of the theatrical release of Star Wars out there, certainly what I would recommend to anybody wanting to watch the original theatrical release of Star Wars. I really hope that they continue, even if they can’t use the team account anymore, because they were doing great work and it would be a big loss to everyone otherwise.

I think the sooner this whole team negative1/mike verta print business and everybody feeling like they have to choose sides is put to bed the better. I saw mentions of team negative1 having been banned here in The Force Awakens blu-ray thread on blu-ray.com, I have been on a break from everything Star Wars related after finishing the Cinema DTS tracks in December but that’s what brought me back, so keep in mind that many more people are going to lurking here, reading everything and all this squabbling doesn’t look good. This site’s greatest strength has always been its unified front in getting the unaltered Original Trilogy released officially, we look closer than ever to getting that, so now is not the time to be divided. We all want the same thing.

@Spoofy4567: It’s not something i’m considering for the time being, this whole business of using parts taken from 35mm prints has got a lot more risky lately. I’ve seen numerous articles about the Silver Screen Edition now being the best way to watch the original Star Wars, no doubt fueled by the massive success of The Force Awakens. So much publicity about these 35mm Star Wars prints out in the wild is not great. I’ll wait to see how things develop before considering using any parts taken from 35mm prints as a source. I’m very happy with how Yub Nub and Lapti Nek looks on the latest Return of the Jedi Semi-Specialised Editions.

@nafroe: They can be downloaded as seperate tracks on tehparadox. If there’s interest I can put them up on myspleen as well.

@towne32: I think I should be able to get it up on tehparadox this weekend.

@Spoofy4567: Thanks, appreciate that! I should be able to have that up by this weekend. The seperate Cinema DTS 5.1 tracks can be found on tehparadox.

@daileyxplanet: Just checked and I see there are more seeds now. Thank you everybody that helped out there!

@HelpYou’reMyOnlyHope: Not much I can do there, the size is what it is to keep the quality as high as possible. I know that there are 2gb versions of the Semi-Specialised Edtions available on kick ass torrents if you’re interested in those.

@Dek Rollins: Exactly.

@kitt1987: It would probably be easier to download the seperate Cinema DTS tracks from tehparadox.

@MalàStrana: Thanks! Yes, the colour grading is different from what people are used to from watching the reddish sunburnt looking fleshtones of the GOUT release, it shares the most similarity with the colours/fleshtones of the Japanese Laserdisc which I really like but are a bit too yellow for my liking. I remember being very happy with the colour grading of the Star Wars Semi-Specialised Edition V2.2L but i’ll definately give it another look when I get the chance.

@EmEl: There’s no public tracker that i’m aware of that has the full 22gb releases, they’re out on myspleen but of course that is not a public tracker. They can also be found on tehparadox, if you’re a free user you can use the 1fichier links, they’re pretty fast to download from.

@ZaneFlare92: Yeah as MrToad883 said, they all use the blu-ray cuts, primarily to be able to use the dts-hd audio tracks on the blu-ray.

@efraga: Invite sent 😃

Everything is great! Hope things are good with you as well. Sorry about not being around these last 2 months, spent the whole of December leading up to The Force Awakens working on creating those Cinema DTS-HD 5.1 tracks. I made it with a few days to spare, but I really needed a break from everything Star Wars afterwards.

Just a little disappointed coming back here after two months to find this site so disunited, the back and forth sniping going on. Mike Verta and team negative 1 have both done fantastic work with the sources and equipment that they’ve had to work with. We all want the same thing, an official release of the unaltered Star Wars Original Trilogy, this he said/she said is not helpful to that cause and makes the whole community look bad, I felt I should say something to try to bring back some calm.

Agreed. Don’t understand why there was such an issue, its not like anyone is making money off of any of this so there’s no reason not to help and respect one another. Well your versions are still my go to versions and thanks again for all your hard work you put into them over the years!

My pleasure! Very glad you’re enjoying them. The Battle of Yavin is so much better with the updated x-wings and special effects IMHO, those changes alone made all the work that went into creating the Semi-Specialised Editions worthwhile.

I’m pretty sure that the updated 5.1 audio versions are not available on myspleen.
I’m also interested in the Ian McDiarmid version of ESB w 5.1 audio.
Anyone able to upload these to my spleen?
Any plans for an update in the future??
