I found the versions of the eBooks without DRM at the following address :

(deleted)

I was able to play the media files (mp3 and mp4) with VLC.

I don't think this includes the 720p videos. My .ibooks file is 200MiB larger.

What filters/settings did you use?

The original framerate of the films is always the same: 24.  However, NTSC laserdiscs were always hard-telecined, so they are all 29.97i.

Correct. Unless, of course, they're Laserdiscs of material shot on video and require no pulldown.

Google Translate knows Swedish better than Swede... NOT.

But that misses the point, as the itunes version is higher resolution.

Yep, that's exactly why I'm working with this.

Plus, I love my iPad and I was going to buy the "Enhanced" books anyway.

I'm so happy somebody tries it :-)

Well, let's hope I can pull it off! :-)

Harmy said:

I am not sure. Never tried.

If I send you one of the files in 2-3 hours, can you check?

Also, everyone: I only setup the VM because I have iTunes 11.x installed and Requiem 4.1 will only work with, at most, iTunes 10.7. I didn't want to downgrade my iTunes installation.

Harmy said:

Great, thanks for the update! I hope you manage to do it.

Thanks. Do you have the ability to play ProRes files on your computer? I want to be 100% certain that these are all DRM'd before spending even more time on it...

I'm told that Annie Arbogast is the woman in the bottom left of this image: http://www.disaboomlive.com/Galleries/storage/1000.11687.25080.Levon-Pixar%201987.jpg

This has now been verified by a third party:

Nice detective work! Let me sit with this info for a hot minute while I work out the outline for something to write.

Are you still interested in determining if Anne M. van Blaricom is Anne M. Arbogast?

I'd really like to interview her and see if she still has any Lapti Nek-related stuff lying around.

The best analogy I read was someone's tag here, the SE is like having someone run a long scratch down the side of your car with a key. It doesn't affect the performance of even the look of your car all that much, it would equate to less than 1% of the paintwork being changed, but every time you looked at your car it would piss you off, and you couldn't help feeling annoyed and wondering why someone would do that to you.

Have another look below -

lol! :-)

You_Too, I also checked with Google Translate, and it said "The Empire Strikes Back" when I put in Det Imperiet Slår Tillbaka in. You are the silly one in that paragraph, :)

Are you Swedish? Do you speak Swedish?

Possibly. I would like to give you a more detailed answer but I never get out of the house. :(
Hadn't those kids been here, I would've eaten the whole bar by myself, maybe even in one go. Maybe it's for the best.

Update on my deDRM'ing progress: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Harmys-STAR-WARS-Despecialized-Edition-HD-V25-MKV-IS-OUT-NOW/post/668623/#TopicPost668623

An alternative possibility is that there's no DRM at all and I just can't play ProRes files with VLC. I tried playing one of the m4v files with the latest QuickTime, but it wouldn't work there either, so I assume they're DRM'd.

I now own the "The Making of Star Wars" iBook. I've been working on deDRM'ing the 720p for you, Harmy.

The iBook itself isn't encrypted. In fact, the ".ibooks" format is just a ZIP file, so renaming it as ".zip" allows me to get at the contents with 7-Zip.

The deDRM program, Requiem 4.1 (the final version), will only work with iTunes 10.7, so I have it and iTunes 10.7 installed in a Windows XP virtual machine running on VirtualBox.

Requiem claims that it can't find any DRM'd files in my iTunes library (yes, I made sure to download the book with iTunes in the VM first), so I extracted all the files and invoked it from the command-line as "requiem.exe input-file output-file" where input-file is one of the m4v files from the iBook.

Requiem determines that the m4v is DRM'd, but gets stuck in the "working" state and never produces an output file.

This is just a progress update.

We got our first trick-or-treaters ever. One small thing: Halloween was yesterday. Oh, and the only piece of candy available in the house was a delicious bar of Novi Chocolate, and they took that. Brilliant.

Interesting. You_Too says Halloween has caught-on in Sweden. Is it catching-on in Italy as well?

It's still probably water-weight, but I'm down to 396.6lb.

No disrespect to you the the person's sig and i am against the changes Lucas made but it is a poor analogy.  Star Wars was Lucas creation if anything he was keying his own car not ours.

Now its Disney's car.

Star Wars might have been Lucas' original idea, but it wasn't his creation.

Hundreds (thousands?) of people contributed to the creation of Star Wars, including some who put more time and effort (and therefore had a bigger impact) into it than George Lucas himself.

Very few people create an entire film in isolation. George Lucas certainly didn't.

The idea Star Wars belonged solely to George Lucas–or that any movie belongs solely to its director–discredits and devalues the innumerable contributions made by all the people involved.

I just picked up a set of these for like $87 and some change, is that good?

Of the JSC, you mean? If so, yes! I see it going for ~$150 + S&H sometimes.

I luckily got my copy for $50 + $6 S&H on eBay.
