Thanks for preserving these althor!
We want you to be aware that we have no plans—now or in the future—to restore the earlier versions.

Need some help guys, I'm using TSMuxer to try and put the 720p stream to AVCHD format, it works but it doesn't recognize the PCM audio. Any other programs that I can use? Or plugins to download?
Thanks!

I believe if you extract the audio with mkvextract and then enter the 720p stream and the extracted audio into tsmuxer separately and then mux them together it should work.
All I know about the audio file is that I exported it from audacity as a lossless wav file. It is sampled at 44.1khz, has 16 bits per channel, and is 2 channel stereo.

AVCHD doesn't support audio at 44.1KHz. You will have to perform a sample rate conversion to 48KHz. Audacity should be able to do this and its free.
I'd like to thank you for this, althor1138. Your capture is nice and clean and well worth the download!

Ah, that is exactly why I provided some specs in the post above because I thought it might have something to do with the way I muxed it. Well, as a raw file it was 44.1khz so I packaged it that way. Should I, in the future, convert to 48khz? It would no longer be the raw audio but I mean it doesn't really affect things much by doing a sample rate conversion does it?
I'm glad you like it. I'll be starting the IVTC on ESB sometime soon. I hope it's not as much of a nightmare as Star Wars was!

I'd prefer that you didn't resample the audio because it degrades the quality. One of the good things about an MKV release is that you don't have to do that sort of thing. It's easy enough for people to do themselves.

No the way you had it released in the MKV is fine. It's my problem for not knowing enough about this sort of thing. But through Google I found a program called Machete. I was able to extract the PCM, save it as Wav, then convert the wav to AC3 for my AVCHD version. My crappy TV speakers don't do the higher quality audio justice anyway. But I love the 720p anamorphic video stream and the AVCHD displays beautifully on my screen with no compression artifacts present. So thanks for a beautiful transfer and I'm very much looking forward to Empire and Jedi!

I agree with this, a SRC is a simple task to accomplish, plus it leaves options open for those who want it 'pure'. I also really like the way you have released this, with the multiple videos so that people can remux should they wish. Really looking forward to your next releases!

Althor1138, do you plan (or anyone else) plan to upload your releases to somewhere other than myspleen?

I believe somebody was planning on putting it on a.b.sw if they haven't already. I have no other plans though.

By far, your 480p stream is the best "pure" transfer of the JSC Star Wars I've ever had access to. It's so refreshing to have access to a source other than GOUT to mess with (since my own LD system is subpar to say the least).
Can't wait for Empire and Jedi!

Excellent, I'm keen to see how this looks.

Thanks! I hope somebody can do something with it. That was my main goal with the preservation so I'm glad that people are looking at it.

Yes. IVTC, audio sync, and 480p stream are finished for ESB. I still have to do the chapters and encode the 720p stream. I'm messing around with trying to remove the right-side halos so I might play with some settings for a day or 2.
What is the consensus on the denoising used on the 720p stream? I'm open to suggestions to make it better.

Great! Went over my 250 gigabyte limit with my service provider, I'll have to wait to download for a couple days :(

Cool! Your SW JSC made its way to usenet, do you think this will too?

I'm not sure. Somebody offered to up it there for me last time so perhaps it will happen again.

I couldn't agree more.
Althor1138, this looks very, very good. Great work! It's fantastic having 720p and 480p versions. An MKV version really was the way to go. Many thanks for doing this!

It looks fine to me, but I'm easier to please than most folks when it comes to denoising. What did you use, by the way?
Thank you to the usenet uploader as well.

Thanks! That is great to hear and is good motivation for me to start on ROTJ :). I'll post the script that I'm using for denoising in the next day or two.
