Well seeing how I'm running low on time, I'll need to recruit one or two people to help me with the Subtitles and the DVD Menu.

Since there have been two people already to try this style edit; I've decided to try my hand at as well. I'll let everyone know what happens.

how goes the editing proces :)
Well I found the solution to my earlier problem (with the low quality) instead of converting the IFO file to an AVI file I convert the VOB to an AVI. So I'm recopying the CD from my ex. HDD to my int. HDD so the connection doesn't get lost half way through. But I plan on hitting the ground running. Expect the first trailer this winter.

I have a bit of bad news, my AOTC and ROTS bonus features discs are scratched up, I found them behind the TV :(
Could someone please upload the AOTC Deleted scenes I mentioned at the bottom of page 3 in DVD quality with the correct framerate etc?

Damn it still came out bad.... it came out as 720X304 with a frame rate of 23 instead of 720×480 at 29...
However, an NTSC raw video can only be 720x304 at 23 frame rate.... so I will keep this file, and try and convert it again on a seperate file using super and see which comes out better. If not I'll have to stick with the 304 and stretch it to 420. You won't be able to tell the difference.

I fix the aspect ratio and everything but now it's pixelated and laggy.... I just ran a scan over the source DVD and Adywan's cut is 720X304 with a 23 framerate... so looks like I wasn't bringing down the quality.... now onto AOTC!

The audio and video for ANH and AOTC is now ripped to my computer and converted. Editing will begin this week. I still need the AOTC deleted scenes though............. I'll see if any of my friends have the bonus disc, maybe I could borrow it.

What are you editing on, Asteroid-Man?
I've been having a time with my edit too.... I've had this bad interlacing problem that I'm trying to fix now.... Which is taking forever seeing as mine clocks in a little more than 3 hours in length. This is my first edit, so I'm running into a lot of stuff... But it will be far easier when I go into working on Empire.
Not my FIRST edit...My first Fan edit is what I should have said. I've actually been editing for over 10 years..
This is my first fan edit awell. And mine will be a maximum of 3 hours and 30 minutes long. It'll be three great epics that when played back to back will be a 10 hour film. See the first page for the outline mrbenja0618

Your doing some things like me. I created a new intro, and I also begin with the attack on Amidala....then I fade in a title that reads "35 Years Later" and then we go into the Tantive IV sequence, but I never cut back to the past until Obi Wan starts talking about Anakin... Then I cut back to them on the lift, and we don't go back to the present until after the speeder chase, and the alley scene with the Zam. So, in a way Old Obi Wan allows us to go back in time... After that, you and I have a lot of differences. Weird thing is, both of our ideas seem to work.
Did I read that you plan on using different music tracks? If so; how in the world are you doing this? I've been editing for awhile, but have no idea how to Isolate audio tracks without killing all other audio... Just very interested in how you do this.
Well it's possible for some scenes while others it isn't. Example: Scenes without music will probably have music and some scenes with the music tracks on an isolated track will be replaced. It's all chance really. I'm still kind of worried about the outline I've done and whether or not it will be confusing. One of my friends told me it's a Tarantino version of Star Wars based on my outline, haha

Looks good, A-M. :)
awesome!
Outline:
Prologue
STAR WARS
Opening from AOTC where Senator Amidala is attacked
Opening crawl
Tantive IV take over, Leia and R2 walk away from each other as the droids leave through the escape pod and Leia is captured. We can assume the other rebels are dead.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just watch the old reborn trailers and they are brilliant. I really like the dark feeling of everything, the dark colors and turned down brightness, dark music etc. The new and old scenes blends togehter perfectly.
In my opinion not using the opening crawl and Williams upblown(when it is upblown and joyful) symphony score benefits the movies alot. A long time a in galaxy far, far away gives just the right feeling. The title with be a good thing to have but without the crawl and Williams music
I'm surprised that no one has done anything like this(mixing original with prequel) before. It's the perfect way for a more darker and epic story.
Also, are you not cutting any scenes out of the original? You're just adding prequel scenes for a much longer movie? Imho but I think it would be a lot better if some parts of the old story is cut out.
Well, this was my thoughts for now. Good luck with the project!
Yeah, I had decided to cut out the crawl. It's going to be titles being displayed similar to Gladiator or Troy. And I'll be cutting some scenes from A New Hope (scenes hinting at Luke and Leia inlove). Also, I was thinking that the whole Sifo Dias plot might get confusing having it mix into more story... and Jango is cut to be replaced by Boba.

Alright ladies and gents, I think I have some bad news here... it seems I'm doing something wrong while converting because the final conversions of A New Hope and Attack of the Clones are at 720X304 and not 720X480... also the the video will play a clip and for seconds after, it'll restart that same clip for some odd reason... So unless I can get someone else to convert it for me (I have the ripped DVD files which I can provide you with) But if any of you have ANH:R or AOTC in AVI/MPEG format with a resolution of 720x480, please send me a digital copy, otherwise I'll have to download a preconverted version (if I already own the films, am I allowed to re-download them anyways?) This really sucks...
The audio files I'm using are fine, it's just the videos...
Videos I need ASAP:
ANH:R
AOTC
In the next year:
ANH:R Alderan deleted scene
AOTC Mace and Obi deleted scene and Padme adresses the senat
In the next two-three years
ESB:R
ROTS
ROTJ:R
EDIT: I found ANH:R in XVID online, I'll download it and see if it's at the proper resolution. I'll look for AOTC now.

It's aspect correcting downward, nothing more.
"Right now the coffees are doing their final work." (Airi, Masked Rider Den-o episode 1)
Yeah, same thing happened to me when I imported The Matrix for my edit of that film (which is on hold as my external hard drive is dead — are we cursed?!). I wondered for a bit before I figured it out. It's just removing the black letterbox bars; the picture is at full resolution.
Yeah I just figured that out but it doesn't solve the lag problem... thankfully, I found AOTC online! I'll download ANH:R AVI tomorrow.

In case you don't know, the Xvid avi of ANH:R available online is an unfinished (in one or two places) version.
What do you mean unfinished? And I'm talking about the one with 11 seeders. The file is 1.66 GBs in total.
