Dre’s tool should make short work of matching dissimilar sources. It is awesome.

To head off any potential problems right at the start, were there any GOUT sync problems with ESB v2.0?

Author

I believe there was, somewhere early in the film. Folks were remuxing it with a sync offset.

I think Darth Mallwalker covered that in the bug reports thread (page 1 or 2)–there was a GOUT sync issue, two frames toward the end, but I think it was in a workprint, not the final version.

Wasn’t that Jedi?

I think he may have listed some for each film, but I don’t recall precisely. I think most of his errors are sort of self contained GOUT mismatches, in that shots are off by a frame but the sync error doesn’t persist throughout the film.

SW 2.5 has an extra frame at Yavin base, but it’s generally ignored since it only means the last 20 minutes are a frame off. ESB, I’m quite sure, is off by a frame very early on, perhaps even the crawl, which is why there were instructions for remuxing with a time shift when 2.0 first came out. The answer should be in this very thread. Somewhere.

Let me know when you’re close to needing subtitles. I’m very close to a point where I wouldn’t mind releasing a new version. Not many changes relevant to Empire yet, but you may as well include the latest & greatest. I do have a few people still out checking various translations, so a little more waiting would yield more fixes.

I’m only just starting and I’m very busy time at work as well, so there’s definitely some time before I’ll be needing subs for release.

So what are the big changes in store for ESB v2.5?

It’s early still, so you might not know. But do you think the ships in the battle of Hoth will be rotoscoped from Grindhouse?

Are you pretty happy with what can be done with the grindhouse color?

Hah, autocorrect. I actually already fixed rotoscoped from ‘rotated’ and remuxed from remixed in another post.

Well, I’m hoping to use Dre’s tool to match the Grindhouse to my colorgrading, if I can actually get it to work.
And I think I will probably replace whole shots in the Hoth battle - most of them are fast moving shots with lots of motion blur, so there’s usually very little detail to be gained from combining with the BD shots.

I know you’ve said you’re not going to change the color timings much but please consider pulling back the blue push, especially in the wampa cave, and the following scenes with obi-ghost and han rescue.

Before their untimely demise I remember T-1 mentioned they had acquired Fuji prints of ESB in near mint condition. I kinda hoped you were give raw footage to work with, but now that I read you’ll have to make do with Grindhouse footage I’m feeling pretty bummed.

How is ESB 2.5 coming Harmy? Thread activity has been pretty slow of late.

Author
Time

Yeah, sorry, been really busy with other things lately, so there will be a bit of a delay.

Hey everyone,

So I just downloaded the AVCHD files of the Despecialized Editions. How would I go about burning them onto DVDs?

I’d really appreciate the help.

Delays are totally acceptable. Life happens. Hope all is well though. I’ll keep checking in.

For curiosity’s sake, are you anticipating a May or June release, or second guessing the 2.5 and just going straight to 3.0?
