You don’t need to be on the spleen for this. v2.7 can be tracked down by following the instructions in the “ultimate guide” - see post 1 of the thread for v2.5.

I got hold of the 720p mkv version of the Renegade Grindhouse in the end (from usenet). It doesn’t seem to have any glitches towards the end after all, which the original 1080p mkv file suffered from.
However, I can’t get it to fit on a dual layer DVD disc despite this version having “DVD9” in the filename. I know that it won’t fit if converted to AVCHD format (which needs more room than just a raw mkv file), but I am simply trying to burn the raw mkv and it already seems too big. The mkv file I have is 8,724,585,522 bytes and ImgBurn tells me the capacity of my Verbatim DVD+R DL discs is only 8,547,991,552 bytes. I believe a number of posters in this thread have succeeded; what’s the trick?!

back in the CD burning days, you could usually try to do an ‘overburn’ if it wasn’t too far over capacity. not sure if that would be a good idea for this. it has the possibility of ruining your dvd drive if you burn past the edge of the material on the disk.
Thanks, dahmage. I’m not going to chance it…
Burned the wmv of the v2 (DCP 2013) grindhouse to DVD9 instead. The colours are more vibrant than the v1 (renegade) print, but there is less detail to my eyes.

The RotJ Grindhouse is really atmospheric; there’s something very gritty about this, perhaps more so than TN1’s ESB. I’m curious about the dirt and scratches on RotJ, however: they mostly seem to be bright green. What’s the underlying cause of this?

A 720p version of the ESB Renegade Grindhouse was uploaded to usenet by “MrNiceGuy” about 2 years ago. I’m interested in acquiring this as it fits on a DVD9.
If anyone has it, please could you confirm if it has the same glitches which were reported in the original “1080p BD25 mkv” release? (And how bad were these glitches anyway? I have only seen the ISO version.)

The version uploaded on the paradoxical site is sadly the slightly corrupted one (with 11 bytes wrong out of 37GB!). I discovered this by comparing the SHA-1 checksum with that listed on page 153 of this thread. It can easily be fixed by “force checking” against the torrent on the spleen. I don’t know whether or not the slightly corrupted version can be burned and played successfully on a standalone Bluray player. Perhaps it can, and those 11 bytes don’t matter in the slightest?

Check the first post of this thread, and follow the link to the “ultimate introductory guide”. Everything is explained there.

I would like to be included if possible, please.
