He wasn't referring to you. Fredstar posted a direct link, which I removed.

Moth3r, if I do manage to get Ep IV uploaded to rapidshare, how do I let people know where?  Do I have to use PM?

have i posted any links? no...i know the rules.

As Moth3r said, I wasn't referring to you.  Sorry for the confusion.  :-)

If anyone has been following the re-encoding instructions, and finds that the disc they produce registers as a data disc, rather than an AVCHD, on a PS3, here is why and what to do.

Tsmuxer has undergone a change in the latest build.  Now, instead of selecting blu ray as your output, you must select AVCHD.

If you have already muxed your streams together, just import the m2ts stream back into tsmuxer, make sure all the streams are checked, select AVCHD for your output, and start muxing as usual. 

Then burn the BDMV and Certificate folders as usual, using imgburn, and making sure you select UDF 2.5.  Cheers!

I finally have seen the Ep1 file that was uploaded to tehparadox. Perhaps this has been mentioned somewhere and I'm just not seeing it, but the quality of the capture of SW, ESTB far outweigh the capture of TPM. Or at least the final products look a heck of a lot better. Perhaps someone re-encoded what's up on tehparadox? It's all soft and slightly blurry. There's a huge loss of detail for an HD. The SW capture looked amazingly crisp, as did ESTB...but TPM just looks terrible in comparison. It looks more like a DVD presentation rather than HD.

Keep in mind though I'm watching this from a 1080p projector on a 100+ screen. Adywan, does this sound like a re-encoding issue that's caused a loss of detail? or was this an inferior broadcast capture to begin with?

Can someone confirm what I'm seeing? It can't be my equipment.

Yeah; Ep 1 does look much worse than IV and V.  Everyone that saw my copy of the AVCHD said so, but I didn't want to point it out, as I was sure Adywan did everything possibe to sort it out.

 no sorry its all down to the original HD broadcasts of TPM i rememember watching the marathon and being dissapointed with tpm's original airing it is the worst looking of the bunch and will need some serious attention for its eventual blu release if they release it as is the blu community will be in an uproar! lol ady has done amazing work on tpm the colour correction is superb and is night and day when compared to the other 1080p version i have (iirc it was a HV version) the overall quality is improved too less digital noise etc i watched it on a 130" screen and it was the best tpm presentation i have seen since 1999! :)

Indeed, no more blue movies from Lucasfilm!  :-)

Thanks for the explanations everyone. Adywan, thanks for doing all you could to improve the quality of the broadcast. I hope you understand I wasn't trying to slight your work in any way. I just wanted to make absolutelyu sure. You're work is greatly appreciated.

I've uploaded Adywan's ANH AVCHD re-encoded to 23.976 fps to rapidshare.  I've PMed those who expressed an interest already, but PM me if you are interested too.

I'll keep the files up for 2 weeks, maybe more.  Then it's up to one of you to torrent it if you like it.

Let me know how it works.  I've tested it on two blu ray players and a PS3 already, but cannot guarantee it will work on all machines.  It's just the HD Video and surround sound.  No commentaries, no subtitles.  Cheers!

And hey, who's needs a AVCHD anyway when there are no menus to begin with??

If you guys find the PMs I sent are cut off at the bottom, PM me your email address and I'll do it that way.

Useless PMs, useless no download links rule...

I've managed to convert Ady's Episode IV and V Color Corrected into MKV and they play beautifully on the WDTV player.

 

I can see why he's done his in AVCHD format seeing as most people would have either a PS3 or Blu-Ray player but to be honest the whole ISO burning process takes way too long + I want to be able to simply play the movie without having to insert a disc.

 if u are using the wdtv hd player it can read it straight from the original *.iso file ;) no need to convert them (same with dvds too)

The "no links" rule was put in place for a reason.

We don't object to you posting the links some other place on the internet, and giving enough information in this thread so that people can locate them.

Any problems you're having with PMs should be reported in the bug reports forum.

No doubt, and I'll abide by it, but I don't have to like it. :-)  I don't think the PMs are faulty: they're just too short for all the links.  It takes 3 PMs to send them all, which is why I prefer people to PM me their e-mail address.

Yes it can, that's how I watch Ady's ANH revisted and his AVCHD's
