He could have done that with his first strike.

Huh, but Luke strikes from right to left (more or less) so it should be behind Vader's.

But Vader blocked Luke's saber is its logical that Vader' saber should be behind Luke' saber.

There's nothing wrong with this picture, Luke's saber should be behind Vader's.
Just look at this clip. Luke grabs his saber, Vader holds up his saber and keeps it steady. Then Luke strikes from right to left, so his saber should be behind Vader's.

You appreciate the finer things in life. You have a split personality - wild or conservative, depending on your mood. Wherever you go, you like to travel first class. Luxury, style, and fun - who could ask for more?

Maybe for the next contest all edits must be torrented/posted so everybody - not only the judges - can download them. Then we can have an "official" rating and something like a "people's choice award". If 20 edits enter the contest and lets say 4 people with mega upload capasity would get 5 edits each it could be done, right?

This edit sounds really interesting. I've seen ong-bak but I have no idea what version, but it looks like this is a better version no matter which one I've seen. Looking forward to it!

Now let's hope a kind soul will upload/post it...

Topic: ~French Coffret Trilogie LD to DVD transfer~ (Released)
Link: https://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/194008/action/topic#194008

I tried to remove the linedrops but couldn't get it right. But there are no linedrops in the crawl as shown in Moth3r's pics. Only a small one just before the crawl.

I didn't notice a decrease in sharpness. But if you're referring to Moth3r's transfer didn't he "make" Jedi softer on purpose? Is that the definite drop in sharpness you're talking about? The LD is not more blurry as I didn't denoise/sharpen. It's as it is on the LD. I actually think Empire and Jedi look better then Hope.

In tested so many filters and settings to improve the image, but if a filter made one scene look better another scene would look worse so I decided not to filter. I'm not an avisynth expert, I just know the basic stuff. In the end I decided to just backup the LDs and not change anything. (although I did increase the brightness because my capture was darker then the LD and I cut 2 ugly frames). The rest on the DVD is as it was on the LD.

So now we come to pros and cons.
+ It's PAL

+ I think if you play the dvd it looks as if you play the LD (some will think this is - )
+ high bitrate, no compression artifacts (read: no extra artifacts introduced by MPEG-2 encoding)
+ LPCM audio, although not as good as the DC LPCM audio
+/- all original fox/cbs intros + all original LD chapter points (although I don't like intros I felt I had to put them on the dvd for preservation purposes)
- dotcrawl
- missing wipe (but Ben's house looks good). personally I don't care about the wipe.
- laserrot dots
- noise
- soft image
(- layerbreak, although it will be nothing compared to flipping/changing discs)

What I really hated about doing this transfer is that you see every scene so many times the movie is less fun to watch. MeBeJedi must be going thru hell... and back.

Does a dvd with a video bitrate of 0 - 8200 kbps (7000 average) and LPCM audio (1536 kbps) qualify as superbit? Or does it have to be DTS?

Are you talking about the NTSC or PAL dvds?

The Star Wars 2004 PAL dvds are *almost* superbit

At least the video bitrate is. Only the DTS track is missing...

thanks for any info
DJ

I use DVD-lab pro. When authoring the DVD you place a chapter point where you want to have the layer break. After the DVD files are created you can select in DVD-lab pro: Project > pre-mastering > select layer break. Then you select the chapter you made for the layer break.

Probably not, since no one else has it

...yet. Hope and Empire are finished. Jedi is almost done.

I re-encoded the whole thing again since they were too dark (thanks for the help Moth3r!). There was a (big) brightness difference between capturing with video or s-video cable. The DVDs now have the brightness of the s-video and the detail of the video. Yes, there's more detail when capturing with video instead of s-video. There's also more dotcrawl but the overall picture of the video capture is better then the s-video capture.

I think my transfer is close to the laserdisc image.

I think you missed my question or maybe it was such a stupid question you didn't want to answer it...

By the way, wanna trade an XØ capture for a 2950 PAL capture?
