EDIT: I can't upload very fast (50 kbs max) so it will take at least a day to upload the entire torrent.


is there a reason why this is stuck at 99.9% percent for a bunch of people, is this uploaded ok?

I think it's OK. I'm still seeding and it looks like it's been downloaded completely a few times. Maybe it was stuck because I was super-seeding and I was the only seed.

EDIT: I can't upload very fast but it's still faster then regular mail (well, in most cases)

All the backs of the LD source sets are grey. All the backs of the dvd covers are grey, only Jedi is black.

EDIT: I don't mind, they are cool, just curious about the black back of jedi...

~French Coffret Trilogie LD to DVD transfer~ (Released)
Time
Yes.
I decided to do 2 versions (both dual layer). One direct transfer and one noise filtered + sharpened. Direct transfer of Hope is ready, Empire and Jedi will follow soon, but I can't get upload permission at myspleen I tried to PM the mods directly, the only reply I got was that I had been promoted to "Donor" but I still can't upload. I've sent another PM and I'm waiting for a reply...

I can't burn DL discs yet but I want to make DL versions anyway, otherwise I'll regret it later.

Analog to Digital Converter "RED" Problem
Time
I also use virtualdub's chromasmoother. In some PAL captures I also have this problem (in lasers) and when I use virtualdub's chromasmoother (4:1:0) it's completely gone, but I don't really know what 4:2:2, 4:2:0, 4:1:0 etc. means so I don't know if it affects the video quality.

The PAL 2004 Star Wars dvds also have this problem (maybe many more dvds but I never noticed it).

Classic Edition: Return of the Jedi by Ocpmovie (Released)
Time
I quickly read most of the threads here, later I start to ask myself questions and then I can't find the thread were it was discussed anymore, sorry about that. ocpmovie, I think I read somewhere in one of your threads you made darth vader's lightsaber red again by brightening the picture? The whole picture or only the saber? How exactly do you do this because I tried it myself but it didn't work...

EDIT: Ah, I think I figured it out, I increased the "intensity", it made the picture a bit brighter and the core of the blades white.

Stereo to 5.1
Time
I have a few questions about the procedure:
1) Where can I find the "WAV dest filter"? It's not in my list.
2) In the procedure it says: connect audio decoder to intervideo audio processor, but there is no audio decoder.
3) How do I give the "file writer filter" an output name?

Procedure:
- In GraphEdit go to File > Render Media File... > Open your 2-channel audio file
- Delete the Default DirectSound Device filter
- Go to Graph > Insert Filters... > DirectShow Filters > InterVideo Audio Processor Fx > Insert Filter
- Also insert the WAV Dest filter and File writer filter with an output filename e.g. output.wav
- Connect the audio decoder to InterVideo Audio Processor Fx, then WAV Dest, then the File writer filter
- Right click the InterVideo Audio Processor Fx filter > Filter Properties... > 6 SPEAKER
- Go to InterVideo Container DMO > InterVideo EXP DMO > Append <---
- Click Play and then immediately click Stop to 'initialise' the filter
- Go back to Filter Properties > InterVideo EXP DMO tab > ProLogic2
- Click Play and wait until the button reactivates
- The output file has an incorrect 2-channel WaveFormatEx header!
- Use a hex editor to change:
- nChannels at 16 from 02 to 06
- nAvgBytesPerSec at 1C from 00 EE 02 to 00 CA 08 if your audio is 48 KHz, or from 10 B1 02 to 30 13 08 if it is 44.1 KHz
- nBlockAlign at 20 from 04 to 0C
- You now have a Dolby Pro Logic II upmixed 6-channel WAV file! (empty .1 channel)
