Until the edits are done, with all the bells and whistles, it's all speculative, even on my part as to what the titles will be.
Why did you title it Clone War instead of Clone Wars? And the movie isn't about the clone wars anyway... you should come up with a unique title that has more to do with the movie and less to do with the clones. Dark Force Rising is a good title for Ep II.

Oh I see you took my ROTJ logo and tried to make a revenge logo... Well the G looks horrible, surely you can re-work that, and the "E" is missing the pint where you've pasted in the "V". The E next to the G is missing some of its top point, the "N" is bad as well, oh heck I'll make a good one for you. I'll also post another Empire logo slanted horizontally instead of vertically (the the same extent).

I guess you have a point, a yank's accent or a sheep shagger's ... hmm... yeah I'd have to go with the yank accent. Marginally.

Hello all,

While you're all waiting for soulflare to post his hi-res covers I've got something that might tide you over. I took the general idea of his covers and then, starting from scratch, modified what I didn't like about them to make them my own.

You can view them here

They are about 70% of the actual size of the hi-res files that I have. Just click the "download" button above the picture to download the actual full size file.

Let me know what you guys think!
Ahhh, you put "The Original Trilogy" on it, good. I shall put these on my covers CD.... hmm maybe if they were higher res. Can someone send me lots of starwars artwork and stuff?

Just to make sure it would work on all players, I put in an AUDIO_TS folder (EMPTY) in front of the VIDEO_TS folder (not inside it), then used ImgTool (free) to make an .iso of the two folders, then DVDDecrypter (also free) to burn it to a DVD+R.
Though everyong else knows you should be using DVD-R

I have heard alot about people saying to stick with the PCM audio when making the DVDs. However, I think it would be best simply to grab the 5.1 audio off the upcoming official DVD release and then take out any sound that was different from the original and mix it with a 5.1 track off the LD. I figure that 95% of the sound on the DVD will not be diffferent from the original release and it will sound better than the LD audio (plus the theatrical release was in surround sound I believe so it will be staying true to the original).
Bad idea. We want to use the original material. Further, Prologic-II is a standard format just like 5.1 now is, and it can be played back on anyone's surround-setup. Also, the idea that you need menus needs to be dropped. How many times do you actually use a menu to navigate to a specific scene? I usually use NEXT, PREVIOUS or GOTO on my remote. Most of the time I see a menu on a DVD I think "this is just wasting my time" and you click NEXT NEXT NEXT but half the time it does nothing. Yeah okay, so the menus on the bootlegs won't be invasive like that, but that's still the mood when seeing those menus.

The RP91 (JVC, HTPC...) zoom (or resize in the case of the HTPC) the image to fill that 16:9 frame and get rid of the black bars outside of that frame*, run a sharpening and probably a noise reduction algorithm to enhance the image, and voila! A non-anamorphic, letterboxed DVD is presented in 16:9. Yes and that is exactly what I said, you have lines outputted where there were no lines before.

You don't say. That what I said, it turns a non anamorphic picture into anamorphic by interpolating the lines (I never said it did a *good* job of interpolation, it may well just duplicate the line above or below rather then blend them - it doesn't matter). And I know it's fibbing and that's why I called it an abuse. But it'll yield much the same result as playing a Star Wars bootlegged DVD that was interpolated to "anamorphic" in the first place, yes? That was what my original argument was. In both cases you are adding information that's not there originally, in one case you're doing it to the source and therefore permanently corrupting it and in the other you're just doing it on-the-fly leaving the source happy being non-anamorphic.Originally posted by: ZombieFlanders
So, that's what's happening. Remember, no information is added in an anamorphic transfer!
Yes, I know that already. I realy don't know what the disagreement is.

A. By bidding on this auction, you understand that you must already own these films on another format (VHS, Beta, LD, VCD, etc.) and that you are purchasing these DVDs for repository purposes. IF you do not OWN these films, you may purchase them for evaluation purposes only, with the intent to dispose the discs within 24 hours. Since the original Star Wars Trilogy will remain unreleased in the USA (or anywhere else) these films can now be interpreted as public domain and are therefore not protected by American copyright under the Berne Act. I offer these discs as a service to true fans that wish to enjoy these films as they have been originally presented.
Absolute rubbish, it is not legal at all. Not in the US, not here. In fact here it's even less legal since we don't have laws protecting acceptable use (but acceptable use is not prosecuted, it could be here). In Australia it is illegal to make personal back-up copies of Movies, of CDs - even if it's to use an MP3 player or a minidisc player it is illegal. Making compilation CDs from CDs you own is illegal. Taping a TV show is illegal under Australian law. The only thing you are legally allowed to back-up is computer software (that does include video games, but it does not make downloading ROMs you own legal). I know the US has different back-up laws, you can tape TV shows, you probably can make compilation CDs legally and personal DVD back-ups.

It's the same with the AFP. And besides this cannot be deemed piracy, it can only be seen as bootlegging - I know under the law they're both just a copyright infringement; but it's less severe if they're no longer choosing to make money from the product you're bootlegging.
