I don't even honestly like squirrels that much. I mean yeah they are fun to get drunk with, but when they start taking advice from scarecrows and hooking up with grey rabbits I'm out.

^Why are you saying this out in the open, you fool?! Don't you know that squirrels are agents of the Illuminati and that they have eyes and ears everywhere!?

I'll just do it at the muxing stage, when I combine Chew's DVD-Video with 2-channel soundtrack for consumption in my own living room.

Similar topic came up a few years ago, in the ROTJ discussion on page 11 of hairy_hen's thread, where Moth3r offered this from ITU:

Moth3r said:

Errors of +20 ms (audio advanced) and -40 ms (audio delayed) are "detectable", and errors of +40 and -160 ms are "subjectively annoying"*.

A single video frame is displayed for 40ms (PAL) or 41.7ms (NTSC). A single-frame audio delay may be acceptable, but a single frame in advance is clearly not (this is because this is an unnatural condition - we are accustomed to a minor audio lag in everyday life due to the differences between the speeds of light and sound).

* Ref: International Telecommunication Union Document 11A/47-E, 13 October 1993

Is the PAL GOUT of by that one frame?

Got GOUT-sync ?

I'm seeing the STAR WARS title card appear at frame 689 instead of 688 like the GOUTs (NTSC/PAL).
It seems all of the reel changes are off by one frame . . . is it just me?

It might be a deliberate creative decision :)
Did you add .041ms delay when you mux the audio tracks, to compensate for the extra frame?

This is truly great work, by the way. I'm not just a hater

Is the new ESB v2.0 AVCHD out on nzb anywhere please?

Yes-- search for "Despecialized" or "Harmy".

I'm pretty sure this can only be done on https://www.binsearch.info/.

That's great news Harmy.
I'm interested; however it seems n00bs cannot Search that usual place.
Any old-timer could send me a URL to that thread?
I'd post it on usenet to show my gratitude...

The only requirement to be Star Wars is it must take place in the GFFA.

I did DL a second time with the same result, unfortunately. Thanks for the math; I'm horrible at that! :)

I do get an ISO file, but it won't open.

What are you trying to open it with?

A similar thing happened in the last page(s) of Harmy's ROTJ thread.
Did you try DL'ing that one part again?

Some write 91.5MB to mean 91.5 MiB or 91.5 x 1,048,576 = 95,944,704 bytes.
which round up to 96MB

Ok, so I've been busily searching Usenet and the Spleen for copies or preservations of the original full screen pan and scan of the trilogy. I have already added Starkiller's 1982 Video Rental to my collection. What I am wondering is if there are similar transfers of Empire and ROTJ available. I guess what I am after is something akin to what I experienced growing up watching them for the first time. Anyone care to point me in the right direction for Empire and ROTJ? Many thanks!

Hmmm, that's odd.
I still have 41 rar parts from 2011; however, they have different name "ROTJ AVCHD.part41.rar" and contain ISO image (2011-08-14).
So maybe I cannot help :(

Klasodeth has a good idea-- are any parts smaller than the rest?
If using Windows Explorer you'll probably see size in kilobytes or megabytes, not bytes.
You could click the column heading to sort by size.


'spleen torrent is m2ts, not mkv, and its hashes match my ISO

There's more than one 1977 version!
You might have heard "Blasted Biggs", "door's locked" or alternatives
depending upon which theater you visit in 1977.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm proud to be a contributor, but don't sell yourself short.
You've put a lot of work into JSC, and still working hard to make SE available for those who want it.
While I still don't need no stinkin' SE-- I'm certain they will appreciate your drive hosting plan.

IVTC scripts are finally on usenet, in case the pastebin expire earlier in this thread.
Maybe it's masochistic, however I do enjoy it.
The single fields, the 2's that should've been 3's-- that is where the fun begins.

spleen said:

I have not IVTC'ed but I have deinterlaced(mostly) by using a filter that puts fields in the correct order.

althor1138 said:

With that being said, should I generate new rar's from the raw avi's or is there a better way?

What's the MDS file for?

It allows you to check to make sure a file you downloaded is exactly what it was supposed to be. It involves the creator creating and posting a hash of the contents of the file, which they then share and you have to create a hash using the same program and make sure it matches.

Unfortunately, after 4 attempts, my checksum never matches up.

While posting Harmy's, my laptop's drive croaked after only eight months use.
(PATA disk, which was already five years old when I bought it "New Old Stock")
Second attempt is posting now...

Seems TK also has usenet access, so perhaps I'll go that route instead of seeding the torrent(s)

Usenet post to Blocknews bombed last night.
Will try again tonight using Astraweb

Pulled my disc from the cupboard last week with the intention of seeding.
When I checked the tracker, another seeder had already joined the swarm
(in response to your plea-- or so I thought.)

I'll seed in a day or three, after I've posted Harmy's 2.5 AVCHD on usenet...
