Awaiting the updated version then đ
Btw I noticed something while watching 2.6. At 01:50:26 just when it cuts from the shot of the TIE-fighter to the X-wing, it looks like the motion of the TIE is frozen just before the cut. Tried to go frame-by-frame in MPC but no frame seems to be repeated (not sure if mpc advances 1 frame at a time though?) Am I imagining this here?
This is bizarre.
Yes, the same thing happens in VLC. And no, there are no frames missing or repeating. Interestingly, the ANH MKV has the glitch occur between the previous two shots (Vader firing and the tie fighter) but the tie to the x-wing shots are smooth.
Not really sure whatâs going on here. A bitrate jump that is not favorable? There are no errors there in the BD format release, which was encoded from the same master with different bitrate settings.
Bizarre indeed! Just read that the new version will be encoded from the lossless source-files and I assume that will eliminate error đ Lucky thing I havenât burned 2.6 to a disc yet!
Any sneak previews of those new tweaks mentioned? đ Or just any info on planned tweaks? (Apart from the
pod shot mentioned above that is.)
I could do some comparison images again. Maybe compared to 2.6 this time. Theyâre very minor and mostly based on Darth Lucasâs observations. Although many of the shots are ones he also changed, the changes are much smaller in every case.
Pod bay scene was made less blue.
Mos Eisley tweaks were minor. I took the magenta shift out of that first 35mm entrance shot. But then it seemed way too cold, so I put most of it back. đ The closeup of Obiwan during the Identification speech had a little red removed, but I donât agree that the whole scene is too magenta. Used the 2.5 shot discussed earlier today.
Turned down the blue very slightly in several scenes:
When the troops scramble just after the falcon lands at the Death Star, and during Vaderâs âI want every part of this ship checkedâ speech. Hanâs âboring conversation anywayâ shot. Before and after Han runs into the despecialized hallway of stormtroopers. One shot early in Luke/Leiaâs bridge scene that was very blue, even for the already blue scene. Tarkin on his intercom before the diamond wipe to the Yavin briefing. The battle of Yavin is the same except for the two scenes with Vader on foot in the Death Star and two shots of stormtroopers blowing up. Blue was turned down on those as well. All of these shots still have blue sets and none of it would have been noteworthy enough for a release if it wasnât for the other issues.
