Currently I've acquired the man with No Name Trilogy soundtracks as well as a few other tracks here and there. Anyone know where I can get the Red Dead Revolver and Red Dead Redemption soundtracks?
Not yet. I'll update the thread then. Sometime this week or next week.
Works for me! I didn't like mine either. haha
Now that Renascent is pretty over and done with (until ESB:Revisited is released) I’ll be taking on a new fan-edit outside of Star Wars. This will be my second fan-edit. An edit of No Country for Old Men.
I remember reading the book and loving it, but when I watched the movie I found the pacing to be kind of weak, so I’ll be adding music and splitting Chigur and Lewelyn’s fight in the street so that I can use the rest of the footage in the end sequence. Even reading the book, I felt the last fight should not have been omitted.
The music I will be using will be from the “Man With No Name Trilogy” soundtracks, “The Godfather” and possibly some other soundtrack pieces here and there (video games etc). I’ll also be playing with the colour and grain to make the film look like it’s from the 70’s. No big changes in terms of quality, just a subtle adjustment to make the film look more “classic”. Also, please note that the music I will be using will not be noticeable to the average movie viewer (which means I won’t be using the main theme pieces from the movies I mentioned).
The edit will be in 720p and 5.1 surround sound.
Ok, it's working now!
Haha ok, I'm just trying to learn how fanedit.org works. I got an invite from them about a year ago. They commented on the Renascent website.
I just ran into a problem when burning, the computer recognizes the disc as a DVD but my XBox and BD-Player won't... any ideas?
I dunno how the FE.org distribution works. :S

(...Around your thread)
Fixed.
Does not compute....
Ok guys, in terms of distribution torrents will be up soon and please note that I will not be distributing these in hard copies due to the fact that I can't afford it and dealing with people paying me for the supplies and having to prove I'm not actually making profit is too much for me to handle, so you'll have to wait for the torrents. There are a few people I will be four individuals I would like to send hard copies out to.

Thank you both! Anyone know where Ripplin is by the way?
Haven't gone anywhere. I tend to rely heavily on e-mail notifications and I stopped getting them for this thread, I've realized. I missed a lot.
Edit: I just got a notification for none's reply. What in the world is going on?! So frustrating! :(
Well I had finished everything, including the DVD and it looked like I exceeded the DVD-9 limit by 2%, and so we were all panicking about losing quality vs. losing Menu Intros and Animated Intros but as Ady suspected, DVD Architect estimated incorrectly and we're good to go!
LADIES AND GENTS, DVD ARCHITECT ESTIMATED INCORRECTLY!!!!!!!!!! THE TOTAL FILE SIZE IS 7.67GB!!!!!!!!!
We're good to go!
All I have is the rendered MPEG and the AC3 files. I'm going to try DVD Shrink before I convert the file to a smaller size.
The computer with the initial project files is reformatted and gone. I'm gonna try the DVD Shrink method.
Here's the 30 Second Web Spot giving the quick basis of the edit and a first look at the DVD:

Also not that the first page has been updated with all the clips and labels (including the actual Disc Art).
Yeah it's DVD Architect that reports that. I'll try rendering the file and then checking the size, if that doesn't work I'll go with DVDShrink. How does that work anyways?
On a side note, here is the cover and the slipbox:
I can't re-render it as I don't have that computer anymore (as of two hours ago). The disc space is currently at 8.7Gb for the full Disc One. I'm over by 2% (although I should probably cut that down an extra 2% just in case)
I have a potential proposal, I could remove the ANH/AOTC credits and just keep the ones I made, and then add the rest of the credits to Disc 2. Does DVD Architect allow me to cut out a chunk and fade it? If that's possible then I think we have a reasonable solution because I don't want to lose video quality after working out so many bugs and after re-rendering so many times to get the best quality I possibly could.
How do you re-encode the movie without having to re-render the whole thing? And what's DVDShrink and DVDRebuilder? Sorry, I'm new to this whole DVD making stuff.
Just a side note, I just sold the initial computer I used for this edit! That's the computer I learned to edit and create graphics with. I loved that thing!
The differences would be:
No opening logos to the DVD
That Opening Video I showed a few weeks ago is cut
The Scene Selections Intro Video is cut
Scene Selection Thumbnails are Still Images
It still has the scene selection menus, the main menu with preview video and background music and the intro to the main menu. But if people would be want to have what I originally envisioned, that's what they'd have to go with and then mount it to a Virtual Drive.
Does anyone have a decent photo of the back of Vader's helmet?
Ok, I removed all of the DVD Menu videos (except the Intro) and the special features and the animated previews and there will now be two options:
2-Disc DVD:
Disc 1 - Basic Menu and Film
Disc 2 - Special Features
ISO Method:
Disc 1 - The Better Menu (with Intros, Transitions and Animated Thumbnails) and Film
Disc 2 - Special Features
Disc 1 - DVD-9
Disc 2 - DVD-5
Be warned that Disc 1 - ISO will be almost 9Gb!!! Would people be interested in this method?
EDIT: Just a quick update of things to do:
1. DVD Cover (To be featured in Spot)
2. 30-Second Web Spot (To be featured on DVD)
3. DVD (All done now, just need step 2 to be put on here)
I've run into a bit of a problem here... I'm over the DVD-9 limit! Even if I put the Special Features on another disc, I'm at 8.6Gb with just the main video... I'll see what I can do. For now expect this to be a 2-Disc project with the second disc being Bonus Features.
I'm at 101% of media usage! DAMN YOU 1%!!!! DAMN YOU!!!
This is odd... in Vegas and in Media Player, the AC3 channels are mapped correctly, but in the DVD Architect preview, everything comes out of the wrong speaker. If I ignored this and burned the DVD, would it play properly or would Architect have re-mapped everything to the wrong speaker? Anyone know?
It says MPEG-4 for the codec and when I changed the extension to MPEG it DID work. I even changed it to MOV and it worked, just not in Vegas. Vegas would import it but wouldn't play it, give a preview image or place it in the timeline. I just converted it to WMV.
I figured out the problem (sort of) it's not in DivX or Xvid, it's encoded using MPEG. I even changed the file extension to MPEG, M4V, MPG, MP4 etc. and it plays in Media Player but not in Vegas. I installed a bunch of codecs, still no help. All other AVIs and WMVs work in Vegas, just not the ones with MPEG encoding.
I removed the pull down, edited in 23.976fps and then rendered in 23.976fps with the added pulldown. The final version looks fine. I think I'll have to convert the files to something else and then make the DVD videos. Ady how long did it take you to make the DVD Menus?
I can't remember. I thought they were just Xvid or Divx. They play in Windows Media Player just not in Vegas. They worked in Vegas on my old computer (which is how I edited the films) but they won't play in Vegas on my new computer.
