Harmy's THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK Despecialized Edition HD - V2.0 - MKV & AVCHD (Released) — Page 57

Projects must not be all too far from completion then. ;)

Good luck dealing with the company that sold you the mobo. Hopefully they value their reputation and deal well with returns.

Lightsabers do look nicer, even if that means looking similar to the bluray in this instance. The artifacts you're talking about are the sort of 'bubbles' around the lightsabers in 1.0?

I like the background blues, and the orange "glow" is a better compromise between the bright 1.0 and muted bluray. I don't know how things are "supposed" to look, and I guess that is a complicated question. But do you think Luke's face is a bit too red in some of the closeups? (~16-30 seconds in)

 Dude! those look fucking great!

I haven't managed to download the clip yet, but the screenshots look really great. 

I'm mostly curious to know how the colours look in the luke vs vader duel on the catwalk, as that scene has always looked really blue in the 2004SE and slightly red tinted in the GOUT and other sources. It's one of the most dramatic/important scenes in Empire, and I've always hated how they made it look in the 2004 release.

Edit: When I say catwalk I mean the bridge bit where we get the Vader reveal.

Thank you for your great job Harmy, the result is awesome!

Could you include a french audio track for TESB v2.0 pleaaaaaase ? :)

Thanks Harmy.

This is a quick demonstration of what I mean between the different sources. This is between the 1997SE and 2004SE for example (TOP is 1997SE and bottom is 2004SE):

I know the 1997SE is not the best source in this image, given that it is a digital broadcast source, but it does show the colour differences between sources, so I'm not really sure what the original look was supposed to be on the print.

Just copy them and paste them to a new tab/window, they will work that way

EDIT I just realized he posted new links which work :)

@Ericstormtrooper - the GOUT has clipped whites, so the sabers are probably fatter than they were theatrically (as evidenced by both the JSC and '97SE) - I don't have any definitive reference for it though, as the scene seems to look different in each home video version, so I tried to strike a balance between making the sabre cores white, while keeping them less fat.

@rockin: I didn't get there yet but I'll definitely pay close attention to it, once I do.

@DarkJedi360: There will definitely be French audio, as well as many other foreign tracks.

 Merci beaucoup :D

Hi,

the last week I found the despecialized editition and I had to download it because it is WOOOOOW!!!!

But in the german download are no chapter marks in ESB and ROTJ.

Can anybody re-up the chapter marks?

Hey Harmy, my apologies if you've answered this already, but what will be the new sources for ESB 2.0 (besides the Blu Ray, of course)?

Are the 720p HDTV-DON releases better sources than the 1080p HDTV-hV ones? On top of being 1080p, they're the same as the 2004 Special Editions with supposedly less DNR than the Blu-rays.
