***The "Darth Editous" Episode IV DVD Info and Feedback Thread*** - a partially "de-specialed" DVD — Page 19

I don't know if my edit is available on MySpleen - a Google does throw back some results, but I don't know if it's really up there or not. Can anyone confirm that?

I might look into creating and seeding a CD-size version of my edit, for the only mildly curious amongst you

hi. if anyone is interested in sending me a DL cop(ies)y (pal and ntsc) of this, there could be a a first generation rip, or possibly a sealed copy of total movie magazine issue number 1 (with the "troops" DVD) in it for you. Someone please help me. I'm looking for this and a few other preservations/edits. thanks, force with you, and all that.

There is no DL version, and there probably never will be, unless someone remuxes all my changes back into a rip of the DVD. I only had to lower the bitrate slightly from the official DVD, and I hate layer change pauses with a vengeance.

I hate the pauses too. with all the freaking technology we have, we can't have DVD players that change layers without acting like a freaking Laser Disc flipping? I just assumed that a DL would be the default size, and that I could shrink it to watch, but I'm more than happy with an SL, so my previous request still stands...... By the way, before I even get to see this (fingers crossed), thank you so much. This is exactly what I was thinking would be a good edit for the Star Wars IV DVD. I can only hope that eventually, through all the fan edits, and preservation efforts, that I will have all six films in a tolerable (PT) and good looking, but not distractingly altered (OT) format. Thanks to all the editors!

Well, with April Fool's over, it's probably safe to post again.

As to MySpleen, I didn't see it in the search or recent postings (the SL version) as of yesterday. I googled it and found nothing but these threads.

Maybe I'm using the wrong search query? I tried a few variations...

Made this to celebrate this brilliant fan-producton, too excellent to be called a fan-edit imo.

I beg you, don't give up editous! I'll find this plate thing for you no matter what!
Also, where's a good place to torrent this? I left the disc at school so It'll be a while until I can get it and do whatever needs to be done to torrent it. 'm lazy as a cat, but so help me I want people to have this on there bookshelf forever and ever I tell you. Never let Lucas sell you trash again.

ever!

I'd actually seen that before while Googling my name

You can all relax, the search is over - thanks to Sluggo's keen eyes and some judicious use of Winmorph and PTAssembler I have the plate I've been after!

To those who've PMd/emailed me recently - please feel free to post a request for a copy in this thread - I endorse the PIF scheme

Agreed.

DE:ANH was by FAR the best fan edit ever made. Virtually seamless.

Another request for assistance!

Can anyone upload a clip of the original Emperor scene? It doesn't have to be great quality, as long as the audio is aligned. All my VHS tapes and Laserdiscs are in storage.

Stop the doors moving behind Chewbacca before they're supposed to.
Reframe the shot of the Wampa's arm because you can see the head and arm of the puppeteer (it's usually frame out by TV anyway but it needs fixing).
Possibly fix the window on Cloud City. It's a lot of work and there's enough cutting back and forth that it's not a completely obvious problem (you can almost believe they turn 90 degrees at the end of the corridor).
Put Boba Fett's voice back (an absolute must).
Possibly do something to the matte painting of the weather vane, like turning it into a 3D model and add some 3D movement. Fix various flashes of light that reveal the borders of the matte paintings.
Take out "Prepare my Star Destroyer..." etc.
Re-edit the Emperor scene so it's closer to the OT, but keeping Ian McDiarmid.
When Luke lightsabres the hatch open on the AT-AT, it's always looked a bit weird, as if his lightsabre passes through part of the body of the machine without damaging it.
Align R2's text on the X-Wing's display so it doesn't float around with respect to the display screen.

Just stirring the pot a little...

Anything I can do to help on any of these?

Thanks for the offer, but I think I've got everything I need now. If anything else comes up, I'll post!

If anyone's at a loose end, you could send me your impersonations of Ian McDiarmid saying "Luke..." to match the "young Skywalker" line

I wonder if was from that German digital satellite broadcast, the same place we got the great quality Shaw-as-Anakin clip. It's not quite DVD quality, and the aspect ratio is different, but it looks too good to be Laserdisc (unless it's from XØ!).

Anyway, back to ESB - I've been playing around with the Emperor scene and getting some great results, and now I've just had one of those serendipitous discoveries that make this stuff so interesting. I had a quick look at ADM's edit of the scene, and it's a great job, but with my latest discovery I think I can get a lot closer to emulating the OOT in this scene - practically shot for shot (except they swapped a mid-shot of Vader for a close-up at one point, and I'll probably keep that change).

I wonder if anyone captured the trilogy, that would be a kick ass thing to preserve. And is ANH on myspleen??

Unfortunately (by most peoples' standards) it was the SE. But it has its uses.

As for ANH, I've no idea if it's on my myspleen. If it is, I didn't put it there. I was kinda hoping someone would have put it there by now...

Not to be a pest, but when do you think you will finish with ESB? I'm actually really pumped about this(mostly because I haven't been able to watch ESB in DVD quality without wanting to stick a redhot fire poker in my ears when hearing Boba's "new" voice, uggh).

It kills me that there are some out there who can't get a copy of this, so I made a torrent at demonoid.com.

for Non-demonoid members, This is the first torrent I've made so I don't know if it'll work for non-members or not. But here she is anyway: [Direct link to torrent file removed.] Sorry for spelling your name wrong, DE.

The speed will be extremely slow at first. I'll do what I can to make it faster every other hour or so. It'd actually be faster if my isp weren't such a grouch about these sorts of things.
