When did the prequels officially suck?
Time

I still don't think they suck. 2 out of three of them aren't the greatest but they don't suck. See, Jar Jar didn't bother me because I was a kid when TPM came out, now however I hate the bastard, but in all fairness, if it wasn't for Jar Jar or a kid Anakin I don't think I would've loved star wars from such a young age. The podrace made me bored though, due to a lack of music. The duel at the end was AMAZING and still is to this day. It was at this point when I watched an original Star Wars movie from begining to end, when I went and got TESB from my local library (I'd seen chunks of ANH before but never the entirety of the film). I loved it more than TPM, and then I watched Return of the Jedi and it was my favorite one. I went back at this point and watched A New Hope and I was VERY bored at times. Next came AOTC with less Jar Jar as I was a little older (12 maybe?) It didn't bother me, and the speeder chase kept me entertained (as I was only a pre-teen) the begining of the Clone Wars and Yoda's duel had me amazed. At this point my favourites were: ROTJ, ESB, AOTC, TPM, ANH. When ROTS came out I was so excited, I whent and watched 1 and 2, watched 3 and then the following night I watched 4-6. Slowly my opinion began to change as I matured and ended up being ROTJ, ROTS, ESB, TPM, AOTC, ANH. Now I see it like this: ESB, ROTS, ROTJ, ANH, TPM/AOTC

So they don't suck for me, it's just that on a whole, I like the OT MORE. I still love the PT. You guys grew up watching OT, I grew up watching PT. I've made my mind, I still like PT but again I like OT more.

Alright ladies and gents, I think I have some bad news here... it seems I'm doing something wrong while converting because the final conversions of A New Hope and Attack of the Clones are at 720X304 and not 720X480... also the the video will play a clip and for seconds after, it'll restart that same clip for some odd reason... So unless I can get someone else to convert it for me (I have the ripped DVD files which I can provide you with) But if any of you have ANH:R or AOTC in AVI/MPEG format with a resolution of 720x480, please send me a digital copy, otherwise I'll have to download a preconverted version (if I already own the films, am I allowed to re-download them anyways?) This really sucks...

 

The audio files I'm using are fine, it's just the videos...

Videos I need ASAP:

ANH:R

AOTC

In the next year:

ANH:R Alderan deleted scene

AOTC Mace and Obi deleted scene and Padme adresses the senat

In the next two-three years

ESB:R

ROTS

ROTJ:R

 

EDIT: I found ANH:R in XVID online, I'll download it and see if it's at the proper resolution. I'll look for AOTC now.

Well it's possible for some scenes while others it isn't. Example: Scenes without music will probably have music and some scenes with the music tracks on an isolated track will be replaced. It's all chance really. I'm still kind of worried about the outline I've done and whether or not it will be confusing. One of my friends told me it's a Tarantino version of Star Wars based on my outline, haha

Damn it still came out bad.... it came out as 720X304 with a frame rate of 23 instead of  720×480 at 29...

However, an NTSC raw video can only be 720x304 at 23 frame rate.... so I will keep this file, and try and convert it again on a seperate file using super and see which comes out better. If not I'll have to stick with the 304 and stretch it to 420. You won't be able to tell the difference.

No I got the 250 for $100.00

They had the 320 for $140 but I wasn't willing to pay 50% more. If they had the 640 I would've got that cause it's only $20 more. Odd how the 640 is cheaper than the 320. I think it's an online exclussive, and I didn't want to wait for it to come in, so what I have is fine. I have a three year waranty with the manufacturer and I have 1 year for a full money back. I think I'll probably return it next year and get the 640 when it's under 100, haha.

 

Can I make subtitles with Vegas WITHOUT compressing it to the video file?

 

And Ripplin, do you know how to make DVD menus?

I bought a harddrive!!!!!!!!

Now that I have a bigger hard drive, I'll just rip the second disc of ROTS and AOTC and download the Purist for the scenes I needed. I might leave the Adywan cut of the duel, I'm still debating that.

If I could get someone to do the DVD menu (something similar to Adywan's Revisted Menus, only I'll be giving you guys a precise layout and the clips)

And if I could get some subtitles too.

I'm just about finished all the technical stuff. I figured out the music I want to use, and I've figured out how to convert the files I want, I'm just not sure about the space on my harddrive and I don't wanna gamble my time here, so I'll be getting a new hardrive soon. Probably this one:

http://www.costco.ca/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=10317181&search=external%20hard%20drive&Mo=1&cm_re=1_en-_-Top_Left_Nav-_-Top_search&lang=en-CA&Nr=P_CatalogName:BCCA&Sp=S&N=0&whse=BCCA&Dx=mode+matchallpartial&Ntk=Text_Search&Dr=P_CatalogName:BCCA&Ne=4000000&D=external%20hard%20drive&Ntt=external%20hard%20drive&No=1&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Nty=1&topnav=&s=1

I have a paycheck due next week, if it's over 200 than I'll buy this. If not, I'll have to wait another two weeks. Expect the teaser trailer to debut this winter as promised!
