Choose either FLAC or WavPack format. You don't need both.

esb_flac.zip .OR. esb_wv.zip

Once again these samples are from 1425-84
The WAV file's left channel contains the LD's analog soundtrack, folded to mono
The WAV's right channel contains LD's digital track folded to mono

I believe they're different mixes.  Please listen and tell us what you think.

If it sounds like faulty CX decoding, then I'll have to investigate further.  At first glance I don't see how to force CX manually, so I'm trusting that the auto flag is working properly.

Sorry for the double post, but I won't waste any more time trying to escape the quote in this ghey WYSIWYG editor.

Belbucus was writing about ANH, but it seems true for ESB also in my limited experience thus far.
Last night I watched sides 2 & 5 of the 1425-84 reissue from 1992, and compared the analog & digital tracks. No doubt about it, the analog track (presumably 1980 theatrical) seems more dynamic to these ears than the digital, which I'll presume to be a remix.
So far I haven't discovered any elemental differences, alternate dialog takes or the like, but I'm 98% certain they're two different mixes.
I'll try recording a sample so others can hear....

Anybody familiar with the UK release 1478-70 ?
Neither LDDB nor blam1.com indicates "digital sound" on that one. If it's exclusively analogue, then maybe it's the theatrical mix (at PAL speed).

Moth3r said: Belbucus - just thought of another question: you said previously you expected the '85 mix would have more dynamic range than the '77 mix. Is this the case?

I don’t remember making the statement but that’s nothing new. If I did, I would have been wrong. From a glance at the waveform it appears to be the least dynamic of all – including the mono mix. Maybe the thinking at the time was to optimize it for the “pre-home theater” / lower-volume crowd – who knows?

2) Yes, 1425-84 was the catalog number in 1985. It was reissued in 1992 with the same number; however, the reissue added a PCM track [which might or might not be the same as the analog track.] I've got both issues sitting here, but haven't done much with them since they arrived....

5) I'm tentatively planning an analog capture using LD-V8000 -> M-Audiophile 2496 soundcard

one of these days.

Molly took the 3-part ANH'85, combined the parts, and sync'ed to GOUT. It's here too.

P.S. I did read your earlier questions about these. That's what prompted me to get the LDs

(24000/1001) / 25

approximately 0.95904

I finished Star Wars. But... I'm working on something better with 2 other guys.

Something better sounds cool!

Until then, please release your SW for us to enjoy.  I'll help you upload if you want.

Dr_Gonzo authored and released DVDs made from babyhum's captures of the Japanese LDs.

Haven't compared them head-to-head with EditDroid's . . . .

Some ne'er-do-well posted it to alt.binaries.starwars ninety-eight days ago....

ChainsawAsh said: (my LD2DVD, frankly, looks like shit).

Is that the one Blaksvn seeded, or your own capture, or are they one and the same?

Sure it can be done.  Just think about what Dave Dexter did with Meet The Beatles and other albums released by Capitol in the US.  They sound different alright.  [But not better.]

Can somebody send me a pm also as to where I can get these from? I have a usenet acct but i'll torrent if I have to. Also if anyone knows if Adywans ANH is being torrented anywhere? I'm grabbing from usenet but its just over my retention and I don't think I'll have enough pars to repair. Thanks

 

It's on Demonoid.

Are you two both talking about the same thing?
adywan's Revisited was @demonoid; however, I've presumed technics2000 is asking about his AVCHD.
It could be there also, of course.

Hold down the Shift key when you press enter/return and you'll get a single new line.

Thank you.
I'm happy to now know a work-around for this bug.

Now how to turn off this WYSIWYG mode and see the markup tags?

I refuse to accept the notion that a thing is 'right' simply because that's the way Microsoft Word does it.
Within the context of editing or word processing software, I believe the Enter key or whichever key occupies that patch of real estate should retain backward compatibility with IBM's Selectric typewriter.  While that key could be user-configured to double-space with one press, IBM never intended it as a "new paragraph" key.

Those aren't new paragraphs.  They're hard carriage returns which this POS editor misinterprets as paragraphs.

Glad you got it, and I'm sorry for the long delay.  I'm ashamed to admit I burned it on new year's eve.

Been too busy with real work.  Well now the work is (mostly) finished, and there's twice the bandwidth to download BE.  After hours, of course.  Ssshhh, don't tell the boss.

 someone to DL some copies in the U.K. 

Language barrier I guess, but I'm not sure what you mean by "DL" ?

It's a single layer disc.

And anyone, UK or not, can download the copy Moth3r posted. I've now finished DL'ing it -- caligula still want a copy ?

It was an evolutionary process. Our first project was a Star Wars disc
that was quite different than the one in wide circulation. It had no
ROM content. The second project was Empire, which again had no
content. When we moved on to Jedi, we decided to include some ROM
content, but made no special way of presenting it. We then went back
and did Star Wars again, this time with the isolated score, and when
it came time to make the ROM content, we decided on the html
presentation for the McQuarrie art.

I wish we'd done ROTJ like the second SW, but you can see the timeline
above shows why we didn't.

Anyway, in the interest of presenting the
cat-what's-been-released-from-the-bag in the best possible manner, the
extra stuff from SW and TESB are on the way.

So no ROM content for TESB, but yes JACKET_P for all three.

Will you be including the official artwork on the discs? I don't believe it was included in the filesystems originally.

I've no idea about volume labels. I think SKot & Sluggo got their copies straight from the horse, as it were....

So why does the quoted text appear in a different font than the one I posted last night?

The editor here blows, and sucks, and swallows

For those who've joined us later, that previously appeared in a.b.starwars on 2005-06-30

And if anybody else need a link for that DVD-ROM content . . . just ask Void
or me.

Moth3r said:

so I can't say whether it's exactly the same... :-)

What, you didn't compare frame counts?  Well you're fired!

caligula, were you thinking of doing a single-layer BE conversion by chance?  If you shrink the 5GiB version as part of a proper re-encode it might turn out better than if I try re-quantizing a la DVD Shrink.  I can definitely get you MIAMI_RTJPAL since it's single.

JustVisiting@alt.binaries.starwars said:

Thanks to Starkiller for attempting to fill the void and creating ROM content for the TESB disc. The recreation of the ROTJ material is appreciated, but I thought maybe people might want the actual material. So here it is, along with the jacket pictures.

It's a shame that some folks distributed "stripped" versions of the DVDs. And still some people can't understand why the desire to maintain quality control was a factor in our decision not to disseminate these discs to the general public. ;-) All in all, it's that perpetuation of amateurism that made me stop contributing to and even visiting places like originaltrilogy.com.

Enjoy

The ISO image was built directly from the PAL DVD that Jambe sent me

I can play PAL, at the right speed even, using MPlayer.
It just struck me as strange since I thought I remembered the Miami festival requiring NTSC.

Funny thing, memories. I must be 'remembering' the Miami grappling-hook scene ;) Oh wait, wrong movie....

A chap callled Robbie Rouser has requested Rikter's covers.  Post 'em if you got 'em.
