Don't forget, in the Chamber, the memory of Riddle did not kill anybody, so another horcrux could not have been created at that time. I think he did want to make Gryffindor's sword a horcrux but was unable to get it. We shall see.

The killing of James and Lily could have allowed him to make Harry a horcrux, but I think he was waiting for Harry's death to split his soul for the final time. Thus I think his soul didn't get the final split until the beginning of GOF, at which time Nagini was probably made a horcrux. Dumbledore kinda explains all this and I buy it until otherwise noted.

I'm still on this notion Shim said of Hogwarts as a horcrux. Destroy the school in order to destroy Voldemort. That is just the coolest idea. Much more meaningful for Harry than Gryffindor's sword.

It is the only version of ROTJ available (in single layer ... dual layer is available but not in torrent form to my knowledge).

I'm still toying with making a version 2.0 of the film with a retrospective ending to coincide with completing and releasing ROTS. I think I discussed it earlier in this thread.

Hogwarts as the final horcrux ... now THAT is an amazing idea. In order to destroy Voldemort, Harry would have to destroy Hogwarts. Damn, Shimraa, you should be a writer yourself. If J.K. doesn't do that, you tuck that seed into the fertile soil of your imagination and build a captivating saga of your own around it. That kind of -- je no cest quoi -- is what separates good writing from awesome writing.

I believe the thread was not turned ugly by me, but by you yourself when you started it, and with each of your replies that have been quoted above, which I submit respectively as exhibits A, B, C and D. You have been trolling all over this board like a juvenile in the past few weeks; you are indeed being watched and you are indeed risking a ban.

Is the audio in true 5.1? i.e. is it the official audio mix? Or is this all a capture of some sort?

I thought Keanu Reeves was the chosen one. Or maybe it was Charlton Heston ... yes, that sounds right.

Regarding the horcruxes, I think that with one book left we'll probably safely assume that the horcruxes suspected by Dumbledore, including Nagini, will be correct. Just too much distance to cover in too short a time ... They have to track down four horcruxes, destroy at least three (if the locket wasn't already destroyed. Note that Marvolo's ring still existed, even if it's "horcruxness" was destroyed) and wage an all-out battle with Malfoy, Snape and Voldemort, probably in that order. Add to that some time on Privet Drive and a wedding for the ages, and I really don't think they will have time to be at Hogwarts. Maybe they'll file for their N.E.W.T.s via Kwikspell. "Defeated the Dark Lord Six Times" will look very good on an application.

GOOD eyes, Hot Rod. You should point it out to LFL now so they might actually fix a mistake BEFORE it gets into production.

The question for me becomes: How can those of us who are planning to re-edit the film land an early promo copy of the whole enchilada, so we can get a jump start on editing? Let the brainstorming begin.

Once again, I'm glad they've accomplished what I intended ... You appreciating Star Wars once again.

Boba Feta, Rik and anybody creating covers of my home-brewed works, here's a logo you can use that's a riff on the THX logo (in hi-res EPS format).

Enjoy.

It would. I even tried something similar. A DVD needs to be muxed from a complete stream of video and audio (not getting into the issue of multiples). Subtitles too. It then breaks the giant file into 1GB chunks. After re-muxing, the split points didn't even match, as they were off by a frame, causing an aggravating jump in the middle of a shot elsewhere in the film if you just replaced the one VOB file with the original error. The change in the AC3 file caused that much difference. This is because AC3 is a compressed format, unlike WAV, so the file size is actually different because of a smidgeon of different audio, even though the time has not changed in the file.

Thus, unless DE knows a way to patch (I tried doing something like this using the technology for video game patching but it wasn't compatible with VOBs), the solution is to demux to elementary streams, replace the offending audio, and remux. And muxing alread-authored subtitle streams and menus is not just point-and-click.

The best solution is to get on the pyramid. That way somebody'll just mail you the fixed disc. For the few bucks you spend paying it foward, it becomes well worth the time.

If only Lucas took the same amount of pride in his product our green lightsabers and swapped music would have been fixed by him.

MBJ, I keep timing out with them. Tried them a few times over the past few weeks actually, but I'll try yet again. Thanks, at any rate.

Boba Feta, thanks for putting that image in the background. I really think that old teaser poster captures the spirit of this edit better than it did the official release. I really did try hard to sharpen up Anakin's character to be worthy of wearing that helmet one day.

I will see it. I think it will be good. I'll probably even buy the DVD.

But I do think it's an unnecessary expenditure of millions of dollars when it's a bona-fide remake of the 1933 movie, characters, structure and all. Even if the script, acting, and FX are all PJ-worthy, it still begs the question: Why go where we've gone (twice) before?

I just wish we could get more original ideas in Hollywood, even original ideas involving familiar characters.
