EDIT: Here's Starkiller/MeBeJedi, or at least this is the version I could find on
Usenet.
I'm confused by that statement, since there's two on usenet.
One is called MeBeJedi, the other called the Starkiller.
Which is that you're showing ?

Does anybody at least have a copy of this bootleg without the macroblocking, or is this it?
Depending upon your answer to my previous question, try the other one?
Try the one which doesn't have bitrate allocated for LPCM soundtrack?
I'm just thinking out loud...

.: The X9 Project :. (Released)

Dark/Sega has pulldown frames stored in YV12 space, so after IVTC you'll find some combed chroma like Moth3r described.
That's why I chose selectEvery(10) in my IVTC scripts for those
instead of using selectEvery(5) a.k.a. pulldown().
That way the telecine 3's can avoid the problem, however half of the 2's are still affected no matter what.
So every fourth frame in the progressive stream will be suspect.

GOOD NEWS!!!!

TESB DTS ISO's are now uploaded. They'll be making their way to the newsgroups soon. I've sent out links to some of you who I know have been waiting for them....check your pm box.

:)



Thanks for the patience.




there's one showing up on usenet that says "movie-only". is this not the ISO like SW?

btw, extraction with winamp 2.92 under wine in Snow Leopard is working


That may be msycamore's reference video you're seeing...anything audio only should say just that....

CDs from 1997 wouldn't have been mastered by imgBurn-2.5.0.0.
Almost certainly would've contained ISO-9660 filesystem, not UDF.

Somebody doesn't understand disc image concept ?

You'll get a rounding error with 48048 as well though --
48048 - 0,1% = 47999,952

Don't think so. It's integer math, with no rounding.
48048 = 48000 * (1001/1000)

Remember the NTSC slowdown is defined as integer 1000/1001, which isn't exactly 0.1% its 0.999000...999000...999000...

Nitpicking probably, but certainly more elegant than yours :p

STENDEC's Hybrid SE (part-finished project?)
Time

Hard to believe nobody's seeding schorman's Archive torrent, only six weeks old, but I've seen it too with my own eyes.

Regarding the frame analysis, I've been working on a spreadsheet comparison:
-2004 R1 DVD
-DarkSvn '97 laserdisc preservation
-ReivaX
-Flunk (only the first layer of the DVD9, until "She lied to us!")

The LD preservation is missing one field at the middle of Side 3, for example.
Side2 is missing first three frames of the green saber shot, after Praxis explosion. Side1 seems uncut.
You'll have to decide for yourself if any frames are missing between sides. My source isn't reliable that way...

it is synced frame-wise to the NTSC 2004 DVD transfer.
Would that be Region 1 (North America) ?

Thanks for sharing.
I probably won't donwload such a large torrent; however, I hope somebody could check these frame numbers for me:

0 = first frame
711 = STAR WARS title card appear

and the following reel change
28343 = r2t5
59025 = r3t5
90295 = r4t5
117270 = r5t5
147672 = r6t5

Are we aligned ?

-Does anybody here have the old, pre-THX French/German widescreen LDs? They seemingly used a different film source than the JSC master, because while they also have the Greedo scene without the English subs, that one scene is cut in from a clearly inferior print. This suggests that their main source had the burned-in subs, and may not be the same as the JSC, in which case the takeoff composite may be different.

FWIW JSC has a video splice at that point, right after Gringo's last words.
There's two consecutive 3's in JSC's telecine pattern (in GOUT terminology 71933/71934).
Doesn't prove, but suggests JSC's main source could've had subs...
