Were there any 35mm/DLP differences for ROTS?

So do you have any ideas for how he could be incorporated and not stick out like a sore thumb?

Pretty sure that was sarcasm. Ignoring the huge live action versus animation gulf, there’s also the huge difference between his TCW vs Rebels appearances.

Yeah, the BBC America treatment of the show is exactly why I don’t feel bad pirating it on air day and then buying the episode on Amazon the next day.

Simulcast my ass.

Yep, the 2005 DLP theatrical version has been restored using the HDTV to replace the visual changes on the BR, the BR itself for the missing wipe in the HDTV version, and the theatrical DTS audio, which negates the BR audio changes.

However, there’s still the possibility of undocumented 35mm changes, so it’s not like there’s absolutely zero value in a 35mm scan - just a much lower one than any of the other pre-Disney films.

ROTS is probably the least important of the pre-Disney films to get scanned, as the one difference from the DLP theatrical to DVD was an optical wipe that was restored on the BR, and Schorman has made a theatrical reconstruction using the BR wipe with the HDTV video (to remove the few minor BR changes) and paired it with the theatrical DTS audio, so we have ROTS in its theatrical form in 1080p already.

Having said that, it would still be neat to have 35mm scans of every Star Wars film!

Plus, does anyone know if there were any 35mm-to-DLP differences for ROTS like there were with AOTC?

This is true, but isn’t really relevant to why the print should be scanned at 4K instead of 1080p.

But yeah, the 35mm/DLP/DVD differences are the big draw toward scanning a 35mm print of this in the first place.

Don’t listen to him you talk about any bug you may have in whatever thread you feel like.

This amuses me since I literally just mentioned it in the Doctor Who thread, too.

I think I’ll reference it in every post I make from now on until I’m better. Thanks for the idea, Possessed!

Just watched the premiere. It was pretty good.

I’ll have more to say on it later when being sick isn’t frying my brain, I’m sure.

You know what sucks?

The flu.

Hahaha love SyFy plugging the show they cancelled on their own blog! This is already more pre-season advertising/hype than they ever did when it was still their show, too.

Is that available?

I know there’s a project (or two?) looking to conform the BR to the TV cut over at Fanres, and I think there’s a cap of the TV cut (censored obviously) on MySpleen.

TV cut is the best cut of Aliens. Most of the added DC scenes are included, but the opening planet sequence with the colonists isn’t, and I think the sentry gun bit is shorter (or not included).

Torrents, yo.

Greedo’s subtitles are part of the video track, so you don’t need to worry about that.

Open the MKV in tsmuxer and uncheck everything except the video track and the mono audio track. Make sure the “demux” box is checked, set your output folder, then hit start.

When it’s done, you should have a xxxx.264 (I think - the video) and an xxxx.dtshd (for audio) as separate files. Clear everything out of tsmuxer and load these two files into it. This time, instead of checking “demux” you’ll check “Blu-Ray ISO.” Run it again and you should end up with a functioning BD ISO file.

Note that you’ll need 3x the amount of HDD space as the size of the MKV file, unless you delete the MKV after the first (demuxing) step, in which case you’ll only need 2x the amount of space.

3 times the amount of HDD space? How so?

Yeah, with every step, you’re creating a new file that’s roughly equal in size to the original.

Well…not exactly, since you won’t be duplicating every audio track after step one, but the video takes up the majority of the file size, and that’s the important part that you’re copying over each time.

This whole “issue” is proof that people want to be outraged and will remain willfully ignorant in order to do so.

I don’t think it’s really an “issue,” it’s just something mildly annoying that people are poking fun at because of the test today. It’d have had a similar reception if the test had happened while any other President was in office.

Trump’s penchant for Twitter just makes it a little easier to make fun of.

Watching the videos now, but I’m not sure about labeling anyone ot.com’s favorite or least favorite anything. I run the site and I don’t even do that because I don’t speak for the forum as a whole, nor do I want people thinking we’re endorsing anything officially. I know that’s probably not how you meant it, but still.

That had to do with me. I linked to a couple of guy’s videos, so MFM had to make wisecrack here about it.

Dude. That post had nothing whatsoever to do with you.

even I don’t know and I’m the one doing it.

So’s this one.

you don’t have to take everything personally. in fact, you should barely take anything personally.

Maybe I do take too much too personally, but some is clearly meant that way.

That too.

Hey Warb, you want to know what a persecution complex looks like?

I may regret this but I think I have to stand up for myself.

Why, though?

Why does it matter? Why can’t you drop it?

Why should I have too? Why should I let him get away with it? Why do you only go after me but not MFM?

It looks like that.

Because I didn’t really care about the film. It’s a side story movie that I didn’t think needed to exist, but I was curious how it dealt with some of the backstory. And then I heard some talking about a deleted scene of Han being a TIE pilot and watched it since it was posted online before the movie was released on digital/BR.

It was better than I expected given what I’d heard about it (all of which was accurate), though, so there’s that.

I am really not sure what to do about all of this.

You say “I’m sorry you feel that I’m acting entitled, and I apologize for frequently acting persecuted. I’ll try to behave better in the future.” You mean what you say when you say that, and then you drop it. If necessary, you change the subject.

That’s what you should do.

Don’t say you already apologized because, if necessary, you apologize again. Don’t say “I’m sorry but [some reason or other]” or “I’ll apologize to this person but not that person.” You admit that they’re right—whether they actually are or not—endeavor to improve yourself (because at the end of the day, your own behavior is all you have control over), and move on down the road. If it comes up again, you do it again.

This this this this this.

(Emphasis added to the parts I feel most strongly about.)

Or the fact that he quoted my quote of your post to respond to rather than your actual post. That would be insulting to me.

The person in question already knows why I am not engaging with him. He is free to take it to the mods. But I suggest he quote which rule he thinks I’ve broken. I would also point out that I think he has been very insulting to me in the last month or so.

This. This shit right here. This is fucking childish. And a perfect example of the entitled attitude you carry around with you.

Entitled attitude? I could maybe see someone thinking it childish, but entitled attitude?

Yep.

Mods would not intervene

Because they’re not at your beck and call to punish anyone you don’t like. That’s entitlement. Thinking the mods are your own personal police force that will ban anyone you complain to them about.

so I took the only solution I could think of and decided to not engage with him anymore.

While loudly announcing so. Like a child telling his friend “Will you tell so-and-so that I’m not speaking to him anymore?” when so-and-so is sitting right there.

You think everyone here has to treat you exactly the way you want them to treat you at all times, and if they don’t, they’re being unreasonable or bullying or harassing and you run and call for Wook or Jay. And sometimes they take your side just to shut you up for a while, which leads to you thinking you were in the right and digging your heels in with your attitude even more.

When it’s so fucking easy to just stop responding and skip over people’s posts if you don’t like what they’re saying. That’s probably what I’m about to do with this conversation myself, though I guess that depends how you react to this post.

I’m trying to help you understand how your behavior affects others, and how that affects the way they behave towards you. It’s created a feedback loop where you get offended or upset by one little thing and it just spirals until someone gets banned or leaves the forum in a huff.

Believe it or not, I want to help you get to a point where you can enjoy coming here again and can interact with other posters without them feeling like there tiptoeing through a minefield. But I think it might be too late for that.

When it’s finished.
