I finally got BitTorrents to work, and am downloading "Balance of the Force" on my father-in-law's DSL line.

MagnoliaFan:

About Dooku's lightsaber being switched to yellow- You said that in response to someones concern about it being yellow, you said that he wouldn't simply throw it out just to show his new allegiance. Well, couldn't he have simply switched lightsaber crystals? Swap whatever was his old sabre color crystal (lets say yellow) to red. Or are crystals not canon? I mean if they are, better to have his saber stay red, considering you have made a lot of changes that already try to make him seem less of a sith.

Sorry about the request, but can someone please PM me the links to the MagnoliaFan edits? I tried searching on myspleen but couldn't find em. I'd like both (ep I & II) but can't find them. Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.

Thanks MBJ, that helped... able to find Ep I. Still can't find Ep II though, tried clone and wars and variations of it. What'd you use to find Ep II? Much appreciated.

The Clone War is not a torrent yet.

Yet. It will be in a few weeks I hear.

I never had the nerve to make the final cut.

Hey, I just finished downloading the TR47 version of ESB off of myspleen, and I burned it to a DVD. Now, ANH worked great with no noticable errors. ESB on the other hand is plagued with lock ups and pixelization. Did I download a nuked set? Any ideas? Thanks.

Sound like a bad burn man - so far it's been downloaded around 60 times with no reported flaws

Already have two wasted DVDs... I'd rather not try for a third. The actual VOB files are damaged I believe. I tested the first one with PowerDVD and it skips and jumps in the same places.

Try de-muxing the video using something like TMPGEnc. If the VOB file is corrupted, it is unlikely to extract correctly. If it does, you most likely have a burn problem. I've seen a downloaded copy of TR47's ESB play flawlessly burnt on TDK DVD-R, choke on Imation DVD+R written at 4x, and play fine on the same media burnt at 2x - all from the same files. YMMV...

That is weird it plays fine on my PC and I seeded these - If your VOB's are damaged that's gonna be on your end somehow - MAYBE you had to restart your PC while the torrent was running or something.........

transferred via a digital coaxial connection to ProTools and converted to AC3.

MPEG2 Encoding Info:

STAR WARS and EMPIRE were encoded with a 2-pass VBR of 3.8 minimum and 8 maximum
using Compressor with Final Cut Pro. The ac3 tracks were encoded with a bitrate
of 448 kbps with dialogue normalization at -27 DBFS. Due to the longer length of
Jedi, it was encoded at 3.7 min, 8 max and the music only track was encoded at
384 kbps.

The music tracks for the isolated score come from the RCA/Victor Special Edition
soundtracks, except for some tracks that were only available on the 4-disc Fox
Scores/Arista Box set.

The "Music Only" track for STAR WARS contains every cue used in the movie, plus
an unused cue in the Trash Compactor scene.

All the music tracks have been edited to match the original soundtrack as
closely as possible.

ARGH!

48 hour wait!

Yet another reason to donate to MySpleen.
For as much as some people claim to hate what Star Wars has become, they sure seem incapable of shutting up about it.

Now that you mention it I think it did that once. Well, looks like its back to square one. I'll have to be a bit more careful now. Thanks guys.

In that case, nevermind - I don't have much interest in the ISOMIX versions so I didn't bother to try the link.

Description: 'What we have here is the 1995 PAL (Australian) VHS boxset of the original Star Wars Trilogy. Sticker on it says “ORIGINAL STAR WARS LAST TIME AVALIABLE”, and it’s Digitally Mastered for Superior Sound & Picture Quality. These are full VHS rips including copyright warning, logos, and the Leonard Maltin interviews with George Lucas. I’ve kept them as DVD TS folders for the Star Wars people to play with however they please.

Capture tree: Sharp VC-ML3 VCR -> Sima CT200 GoDVD Video Enhancer (to strip Macrovision) -> Panasonic DMR-EX79 (FR Mode to fit just a bit over 2 hours on each disc)'.

I know the feeling. It was dealing with downloading 225 MB video files every week that pushed me to finally go get DSL a year ago.

^ I imagine that would take some time and hinder anything else you wanted to on your pc at the same time!

Looks like I better work out where is best for the cable company to start drilling holes in my wall and whereabouts I want the laptop based

Hopefully the benefit of this torrents lark will soon pay off

‘VHS Rip: Star Wars (1977) Early '80s release’ (1984)…

Size: 3.93 GB (4,215,179,598 bytes)
Added: 2024-02-14 19:17:22 GMT

Description: ‘VHS rip of the little-known cult classic. I’m not entirely sure which release this is. The box says it was released in 1984 but the tape might be from a bit earlier. Either way, it’s Star Wars before all the weird computer generated shit was vomited all over it.’
 

 

 

‘VHS Rip: The Empire Strikes Back (1980) 1984 release’…

Size: 4.12 GB (4,421,973,379 bytes)
Added: 2024-02-17 14:14:24 GMT

Description: ‘The 1984 release of the 2nd Star Wars film. Though this printing has a promo at the end with 1986 copyrights. This rip didn’t come out as crisp as the Star Wars rip. I don’t know how much of that I can blame on the official video transfer or the degradation of the tape itself (this was definitely a well-loved copy). But it’s not too bad, maybe I’ll seek out another copy and see if I can do a better capture at a later date.’

^ it is still a pretty good capture, IMHO.
 

 

 

‘VHS Rip: Return of the Jedi (1983) 1986 release’…

Size: 4.35 GB (4,675,697,556 bytes)
Added: 2024-02-21 18:34:25 GMT

Description: ‘Rip of the original 1986 release of Return of the Jedi. The transfer came out pretty crisp this time around.’
