I'd say if you can demux and remux the tracks, any errors you have are now totally different than the current one. I'm an optimist ;)
Actually after trying to do some work on the DTS tracks, it looks like all tracks (audio and video) have a glitch at that point. I hope this means it's just an MKV container error!
FWIW: Demux worked fine, but attempting to remux the video errors out on frame 71426. Got all my files from the original uloz links. Looks like an encoding error :-/
Hey, Project Threepio 6.4 is from the future! I'm at 6.2!

Is it SW-pt-br-1.0-TV.ac3? That's the one I've got.
I'll upload the new one just to be sure.
Wait a sec... I actually GOT the less-muffled version from your 2.1 release, so you've got it.
The Latino audio is the same, I just peak-normalized to -6dB and encoded at a lesser bitrate.
There's a less-muffled version of the Portuguese, I'll upload it in case it's different from what you have (it's still not great).

At this point is 3.0 neccessary? What will be on 3.0 that will be left out of 2.5?
IIRC 3.0 is a placeholder version for if/when better-quality video sources someday become available, which would justify a 1080p preservation.
Also I think Harmy mentioned 3.0 would contain a 3D Jar-Jar in the cantina, which is sadly missing from 2.5 ;)
Yeah, but who's gonna derail it, kid? You?
Okay, I also have American Spanish dubs for the whole trilogy, PM me if interested. I originally got them as high-bitrate dual-channel mono lossy files, but I've converted them to normal-bitrate single-channel mono files to conserve space.
The audio for Star Wars is a bit muffled, but there may be a less-muffled version in the works, we'll see.
...and I'd recommend a minimal core for the DTS-MA tracks. With larger cores, the files (and bitrates) can get pretty huge, and most people won't be listening to the lossy core anyway (IMO the lossy core at its minimal levels still sounds comparable to your typical Dolby AC3 track).

Joining a collaborative community like ours comes with some adaption in behaviour. To me the OT.com community has always been about sharing and helping each other out. If I have something that can make someone else's project better, I'm happy to help out. And as far as I can tell that's pretty much how this whole community works. Need a missing audio track off a release that's not seeded anymore? Someone uploads it! Need something scanned? Done! My impression was, that this is something that's natural for projects like this.
It's not unheard of here. Sometimes there's a guy here who offers great stuff for free, sometimes with strings attached, and sometimes he talks about having great stuff and won't share with anyone (mverta).
He has his reasons for acting this way--some people think they're good enough and others don't.
Frankly, I'm a pragmatist about it. I take what I can get now and don't burn bridges in case more comes along later. I'm not saying everyone needs to approve of the choices of our more reticent users like mverta and roback214, but it can only help us in the long term if they get a good impression of our community--because apparently, they both do in fact have the goods.
FWIW, roback214 gave me American Spanish subtitles in exchange for nothing, and I have seen no indication through our PM conversations he's expecting anything in return for the American Spanish dubs. Let's avoid pre-judging this one, alright? I'd hate to poison this so-far productive well based on some old grudge.

Here's a sampler of the intro to Star Wars (Harmy 2.1) with scroll text in Spanish, as seen in Latin America in 1977. still work to do ... but it's a start. I think I can finally have STAR WARS as I saw as a child thanks to Harmy ... May the force be with you with version 2.5!!
I hope you're still planning to release those dubs!
Only 15? I'll see what I can do. ;)
We already have that, for all 3 films, lossless.
EDIT: But they were created using an entirely different method.

It's the same actor Luke found inexplicably hiding inside Hayden's suit earlier.
Hmm, now that I think about it I'm sort of surprised the SpEd didn't replace Shaw with a digitally aged Christensen in RotJ.
That'll be fixed in the 3D re-release, don't worry.

Who's that old guy on the left?
It's the same actor Luke found inexplicably hiding inside Hayden's suit earlier. Except in that photo he's got eyebrows, and they look way too bushy and weird. Photoshop fail ;)
Hot damn.
By the way, Teeceezy, how are these syncs going? If you're done, I'd like to hear them (esp. '80 ESB and '83 ROTJ).
xhonzi said:
However it still is the matter of some debate, as CatBus has illuminated.
You give me too much credit. It really isn't up for that much debate, I was just arguing that point because I became enamored with the idea of the "Vader never gets redeemed and Luke is a gullible putz" ending. I still do like it, but it's ultimately not supported by all of the facts (force ghosts pretty much undermine it).
I may wish Lucas ended up writing something different, but if wishes were horses we'd all be eating steak.
Project files have been updated to version 6.2 (original post has been updated as well). Please PM me for the temporary download links until the files are available in a more permanent location.
Rough summary of changes:
- Promoted Polish from unverified to verified for the entire trilogy--big thanks to Feallan for this!
- Added American Spanish (unverified), thanks to roback214.
- Minor changes to how SDH subtitles are formatted. This is most noticeable when you see the subtitles for the "POWER - TRACTOR BEAM" sign, which are now all caps to more clearly signify to deaf viewers that this isn't something Obi-Wan's just muttering to himself.
- Added a section to the README and included better templates for how to change/add subtitles.
- Tried to make all processes and utilities in instructions work cross-platform (verified on Windows and Linux, Mac should work), but failed to get one big process (turning SRT files into BD-SUP files) working due to reliance on AviSynth. Many of the processes rely on Wine for cross-platform compatibility, so they are not necessarily cross-architecture.
Special thanks again to Feallan for working with me on these subtitles before I had very good/clear instructions in place. He suffered so that others don't have to.
That's the royal "I".

It's pretty clear from the way that Vader looks at the Emperor, looks at Luke, looks at the Emperor, looks at Luke, and then yells "NOOOOOO" that he's in it to save Luke.
He yells what??
The thing is, the mask hides a lot. It's a blank slate upon which you can write your own personal interpretations and wishes.
He looks at the Emperor, thinking, "I do not want to take this guy on alone. That's what I brought Luke here for. Part muscle and part cannon fodder."
He looks at Luke and thinks, "This guy is not turning. He is not fighting back. He's gonna die and then I'm stuck subservient to Pruneface forever."
He looks back at the Emperor, thinking, "Screw it, it's now or never. Maybe I can get him over to that convenient pit before he fries the bejeezus out of me. Beats the alternative."
If he yells "NOOO" it's pretty much a non-sequitur any way you look at it.

For Vader to be protecting his son for the wrong reasons, Luke and Palpatine have to be totally wrong about the internal conflict they both sense in him.
Have we really become that cynical and jaded?
Or, going off my pet theory which is almost certainly wrong but still delightful, the internal conflict is simply over something else. Yes, he's conflicted about Luke, but the conflict is over exactly how to achieve all his machinations without either Luke or the Emperor finding out.
And hey, speaking of cynical and jaded, since the (gah!) "saga" is supposedly all about Vader now, don't you think it's appropriate that it's all about this guy who spent so much time destroying things, but who manages to whitewash his own history and convince people into thinking he's a good guy, and that this was his plan all along? I'd say it's inspired!
