I just received my copy in the mail. I'm amazed by how seamless everything is.
Things I actually miss from the 2004 DVDs:
Hyperspace star spin
Musicless Obiwan fight (I know that's in the Purist)
And, believe it or not, the bump SFX when the trooper hit his helmet on the half-closed door- that always made me happy
Even so, I think this is the best Star Wars has ever looked. Thanks so much for your time and effort, Adywan. :D
The Purist Edition is DVD5 only.
It has no menus or extras. I don't think it even has any alternate audio tracks, and it may not even have optional subtitles
(just the usual burn-in's for Greedo).
Changes from the full version:
- Changed 3PO's line back to "There'll be no excape for the princess this time"
- Re-edited Obi-Wan's Hut scene back to its original version
- Removed the extended Death Star reveal
- Removed the extended TIE Fighter reveal
- Removed all music not originally found in the film

Yeah. I'd much rather watch this version, with its beautiful clarity. :D
Hi Guys! I've been following ady's progress over in the episode V thread, but have been lurking for some time now. It seems to be coming along nicely. Especially the color correction is impressive work on ady's behalf. The trailer material seen so far has been stunning. I feel like a kid again reading these threads!
Now to my ANH:RE related questions. I have recently downloaded all files to the Purist Edit. I know that I have a computer with a dvd burner available, but that is pretty much where my rather limited knowledge ends.
Will I need some sort of program to burn it? When buying dvds to burn the movie to, should I just ask for a dvd-5 package or is there other technical terms I should know? And is there any difference between burning a pal dvd or a ntsc dvd? They don't require different burners do they?
I know these questions seem a bit much (understatement, har har), but I really wanna get it right, and would really appriciate all help I can get.

If the computer has a burner in it, then whatever software it needs should be there too. Nero is the most popular but there are others. There are also free ones you can download if it doesn't have any for some reason.
By "all the files", I'm guessing you got it from RapidShare, right? Use WinRAR to unpack the files. Just click on the first one and it will jump to the next and the next and create the ISO. Then in the burner software, just look for "Burn image to disc" or something similar and let it do its thing. PAL or NTSC only affects playability after you've created the disc. The burning process is the same regardless of video format.
Blanks - any DVDs will work, just get a good brand. Sony, Maxell & Verbatim are the better ones that you can find at retail. Memorex, Imation and HP are a little cheaper and more likely to end up with bad discs, if not right away then over time. + or - doesn't really matter unless the burner drive is very old (more than 3 or 4 years) and will only do one or the other, but that's just a drive/disc compatibility issue and doesn't make the final disc any better or worse having one instead of the other.
My outlook on life - we’re all on the Hindenburg anyway…no point fighting over the window seat.
So, you have to use Winrar or Daemon Tools to create an iso file before burning to DVD, correct? Does it matter which one I use?

No. Daemontools is only to mount an image. Use Winrar to unpack the rars to give you the ISO file, then burn
I haven't checked this thread for a while, did you really restore the Biggs scenes for a new version ?
He put one of the Biggs scenes in the "Deleted Scenes" section of the DVD9, and it looks like it's had some processing done (Ady can confirm precisely what), but it still is basically "unrestored."

What's "mounting an image"?
After downloading all the parts of the movie off Rapidshare, do I have to use Daemontools at all if I want to burn the film to DVD? Can someone tell me exactly what I do after downloading?

I remember reading something about it once upon a time, but if you could give us a refresher on what you did with that scene, we'd appreciate it, Ady! :)

You're not listening....read what Adywan just told you to do again.

Then, use Google.com to find out how to burn an ISO image file.
I love everybody. Lets all smoke some reefer and chill. Hug and kisses for everybody.
You only need to "Mount an image" if you're going to apply the "VIDEO_TS_fixed.rar" files to the ISO to burn with ImageBurn (that's for the DVD9 ONLY).
Daemon Tools is an easy program to use. You install it, run it, and then right click on the icon and it has the option to "mount" an image. You choose the ISO file and it turns it into a "virtual" (fake) dvd drive, as if there's a disc in there, but there isn't. Then you go to that fake "drive" and copy and paste the files onto your hard drive. Unrar the "fixed" files, and drag them into the same directory so they replace any files there. Then you burn it with Nero like you would any other DVD-Video.
But the Purist Edition needs none of that, you just double click on the rar file (winrar is installed so it'll automatically work) and extract the ISO from it. Then you fire up Nero and open the ISO and it's ready to "burn" (click the burn button, with your Dual Layer media in the proper drive of course).

Sorry, but what are the "VIDEO_TS_fixed.rar" files again?
You might need it if you're burning the DVD-9 to dual layer media using ImgBurn.
BUT, here is what you need to do:
1) Download WinRAR
2) Open the first file (should end in "part01.rar" or something similar) using WinRAR, then extract the ISO to wherever you want (it will automatically extract it from all of the parts, be patient and wait till it's all done)
3) If you're using Nero, or some other burning program, use "Burn image to disc" or similar, select the ISO file, and burn it to the Dual-Layered DVD
4) If you're using ImgBurn, you'll need to extract the ISO using the method described by Kurgan with DaemonTools, then take the files from VIDEO_TS_fixed.rar and drop them into the VIDEO_TS folder, REPLACING the existing files that are already in the folder. Then, you can either make a new image (someone else will have to walk you through that), or use Nero to burn the VIDEO_TS folder to Dual-Layered media.
Or, if you're sick of trying to deal with all this, PM me and I can put you on my PIF chain.
He can burn the image directly from ImgBurn, or ?

OK, so it won't differ quality-wise which one I use, Nero or ImgBurn, right?
Also, how do you extract the ISO?
Where do you extract it to? Just a separate folder?

If you just right click on the RAR file, one of the options should be "extract" or "expand". You can put the ISO wherever you want, as long as you remember where it is. And a burn is a burn, as long as you don't burn it too fast, so it doesn't matter what program you use to do it.

To extract the ISO:
1) Download WinRAR
2) Open the first file (should end in "part01.rar" or something similar) using WinRAR, then extract the ISO to wherever you want (it will automatically extract it from all of the parts, be patient and wait till it's all done)
Now, when I say "using WinRAR ... extract the ISO," when you open "........part01.rar" (or whatever it's named, but the first part) in WinRAR, you'll have the option to "Extract To..." - that is what you want. Save the ISO to wherever you want, desktop, documents, whatever. Then, using whatever program you have at your disposal, burn the ISO to a Dual-Layered DVD.

OK, thanks. What do I do with the md5 file that is the first file (the one that comes right before the "...part01.rar" file)?

The md5 file is a sort of tool to check the integrity of everything that's included in the RAR. You don't need to use it. (but if you're not sure that everything is hunky dory, you can run it) I usually just ignore it.
I was wondering if someone could help me out. I want the dvd-9 of this edit, but I have no dvd burner so I can't watch it. I would greatly appriciate it if someone can send me a copy of it by mail. Any help would be greatly appriciated and I do look forward to this awsome version. Thank you.
If you don't mind an NTSC copy, send me a PM.
Thanks for all your help, guys! I'm creating the ISO as I type this.
