I rarely use tsmuxer anymore. I’ll take a look to see what format will work.
If I had some gum, I’d chew a hole into the sun…
I already got it to work by removing everything other than the time-codes.
Your AVCHD nfo says mkv container. 😃
Thanks!
The gallery will take some time to compile.
You should use these chapters instead:

These are NSTC, and the originally posted ones look like PAL (they are incorrect by the end of the film).
Use these named ones for use with mkvtoolnix-gui:

Star Trek: The Motion Picture DE - The Anti-DNR Fanedit
Duel (1971) - The Hybrid Cut
The Phantom of the Opera - 1925 Version Reconstruction - Rare Scores Collection - Roy Budd Score

Yeah, that’s what I thought. Those are the same as the ones I posted. First. I’m just saying. Guy looking for a little credit here is all…
Good job.
These should be the final chapters for Harmy:

The AVCHD nfo mentions ROTJ in the first few lines as the 1983 restoration… the big MKV nfo mentions STAR WARS as the 1983 restoration…
one of them is unintended
Awesome! Thank you guys!
How about “ROTJ v2.5 is pretty much completely despecialized”; rather than “ROTJ v2.5 is despecialized pretty much completely”.

Technical Specifications:
CONTAINER: MKV
SIZE: 7.8 GB
VIDEO: 1280x720p H264 23.976 fps
AUDIO: (all Dolby Digital) Special thanks to hairy_hen, Schorman and CatBus
I think you meant CONTAINER: AVCHD (or ISO, or whatever is appropriate), as I think this is the AVCHD release you’re referring to here in this second post.
And probably my final nit pick, in “The remastered version (v2.5) represented a significant improvement”, I think “represents” would work better than “represented”.
re: the wipes
Which ones are they and were they not salvageable from the lpp print?
Weird, ChapterGrabber and ChapterXtractor gave me the same chapter times that I posted earlier. The other ones are definitely correct though. Sorry for the misleading info. For some reason the two programs were giving timing for 30fps by default instead of the correct 29.970fps.
If I had some gum, I’d chew a hole into the sun…
I tried but it looks like crap
Of all the posts on this thread, this is what finally moved me to stop lurking and create an account. Well done!
OK, encoding is done on both the MKV and AVCHD versions. I’m probably gonna give them a watch tomorrow and then I should be all set for the Sunday release. 😃
I have another surprise release currently rendering that many people here will, I think, be very happy to see. 😃 Let’s see if you can guess what it is 😉 Clue: It’s the last one missing at this point.
ESB v2.5?
Edit: Dang, shouldn’t have jumped to reply before reading the last page. Also, in the NFO, what is the “Return of the Pug”?
Here are the NFOs. Please let me know if you find any inaccuracies or typos
Hi Harmy! Not a correction, but I recommend shortening the links to OriginalTrilogy.com forum threads by removing the thread title from the URL to leave only “…/topic/id/#####”. The links function exactly the same way.

“This is a fan preservation made […]”
Shouldn’t it be “This is a fan made preservation […]”
I’m not too sure about it though and English isn’t my native language, so I could be wrong.
Awesome project you’re working on btw. Respect!
I can see RotJ Grindhouse (if that’s what you’re calling it) might warrant its own thread before long, but for now…
Before it was GOUT synced, did the print/scan include anything else of interest? MPAA/BBFC/Dolby logos?
You can find some corrections I made to your NFO below Harmy (two humanities degrees, it’s almost second nature to me now!), it’s up to you whether or not you use them:

This is a reconstruction of the 1983 theatrical version of ‘Return of the Jedi’. The original shots were painstakingly restored using the sources listed below and the film received an extensive shot by shot colour correction based on a fade free 1983 LPP Print. ROTJ v2.5 is almost completely despecialized, except for a couple of wipes; for all intents and purposes it is the original version.
The remastered version (v2.5) represents a significant improvement in picture quality over the earlier 1.0 version due to the use of better encoding settings and higher quality sources. Many of the despecialized shots from v1.0 were replaced in v2.5 with shots from these superior sources.
Version v2.0 only came out as a limited release workprint.
A gallery showing all the changes can be found here:
https://photos.google.com/u/1/album/AF1QipOUewV3aQ2QnhCC2WsLwE6sihIE9zvVIkiF8GB6
The MKV version contains a large number of audio tracks, including the latest versions of the preservations
of the original audio mixes in DTS-HD MA, three different commentary tracks, an isolated score and dubbing
tracks in 13 different languages.

Either will do, it’s more about the style and how it reads.

“It’s a fan made preservation for…” doesn’t quite work. Harmy uses the word "made’ to specify what it’s made for, not to emphasise that it’s fan made.
A massive thanks in advance to Harmy for all the work he’s put in to this. Looking forward to checking out the Grindhouse and V2.5. Even if it’s only in the Grindhouse I’m looking forward to seeing the section that’s out of focus on the Blu-ray done properly. A shame that the ‘professionals’ at Lucasfilm couldn’t even scan the film properly!
Hi Harmy, thanks a lot for your efforts and for those 2 editions of ROTJ. I can’t wait to watch them 😃
Will you include all the audio tracks and subtitles from the despecialized edition into the RotJ Grindhouse file?
