You probably just need to set the framerate to 23.976 manually.

Oh, I see the option now. Thank you. And thank you for making v.3.0. It looks amazing.

Sigh, seems it wasn’t so simple after all. I didn’t see an option for 23,976 so I picked 24 instead, I figured it didn’t matter, but now the audio is out of synk and I can’t find an option for 23,976 in TSMuxer, so I’m back in square 1 and still need help I’m afraid.

So cool to see this finnished. I downloaded the 1080p version. I’d like to put this on a blu-ray disc, what software do you all use for that?

tsMuxer is your best bet - it will create a blu-ray iso for you, which you can then burn with any disc burning software. The encode is already BD compatible, so it’s a simple remux and should be pretty fast. If you throw out any audio tracks you don’t need, you should be able to fit it on a single layer BD.

tsMuxer doesn’t seem to work for this one, it just tells me “non standard fps value do not supported for pgs streams”

I’ve tried with so many different softwares at this point but I can’t find one that works.

Frame comparisons
Time

I love the site caps-a-holic.com that lets you choose different releases and compre frames switching in between them quickly. It’s peen particurlarly intressting to compare the 2011 blu-rays to the 2020 blu-rays this way but of cource this site only has screenshots of official releases and I’d love to include TN1’s Star Wars 4K releases in this comparison so I was wondering if there is any sites that lets me compare all three versions and I can flip in between the frames quickly?

Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga 4k UHD -- 27 DISC Boxed Set -- 3/31/2020
Time

The 2020 blu-rays should look like the Disney+ SDR right? Here’s a few comparrissons I found featuring those. Though only in 720p.

The blu-ray.com reviews is the only place I’ve seen screenshots from the blu-rays though. I think it defenetly looks like an improvment over 2011.

The Phantom Menace - Theatrical version scanned in 4K (a WIP)
Time

Now I’m confused. The digital bits article claimes both that it was scanned at 4K and that the film has a new color grade. And the say they’re getting their infromation from disney insiders.

Are they just lying?

Does anyone have an image gallery or video that more accurately dislpays the color? We’re not getting the 4K discs here in Finland untill May the 4th so I haven’t seen them yet.

The Phantom Menace - Theatrical version scanned in 4K (a WIP)
Time

From the review of the new release on thedigitalbits.com

"The production history of The Phantom Menace is a complex one. It was shot mostly on 35 mm photochemical film using Arriflex cameras and Hawk C-Series anamorphic lenses (for an intended aspect ratio of 2.39:1), though it was also one of the first features to utilize footage captured digitally in HDCAM as well (at 1080/24p using the Sony HDC-750—the new Panavision lenses this camera required weren’t ready for principle photography, but were available for re-shoots and second unit photography). Post production was done shot by shot, with original camera negative copied to an interpositive and then to internegative. Footage requiring VFX was scanned at 2K, with VFX produced digitally at sub-2K resolution (state-of-the-art at that time), and the finished shots were printed back out to internegative. The HDCAM footage was likewise printed to internegative. All of this film was then physically edited into a final cut negative, from which a properly color-timed interpositive was created (essentially the finished master element, though an early “Digital Intermediate” was made for pioneering exhibition in theaters by Texas Instruments—presumably a 2K scan of the interpositive). For the film’s original DVD release in 2001, that interpositive was scanned in 10-bit 2K by Lowry Digital, resulting in the creation of a 2K Digital Intermediate (complete with digital VFX tweaks and a color grade supervised by Lucas). This source was used again for the 2011 Blu-ray release, though with a bit more Lowry Digital remastering (and still more digital VFX and color timing tweaks).

For The Phantom Meance’s 3D theatrical release—and to protect Disney’s investment following the studio’s purchase of the Star Wars franchise in 2012—the cut negative (with VFX film-outs) was scanned again in 16-bit 4K by Reliance MediaWorks (formerly Lowry Digital). Lucas once again took the opportunity to tweak the VFX and color timing, resulting in the creation of a new 4K Digital Intermediate. This Ultra HD release (and the recent Disney+ version) was mastered from the 4K DI, with additional color grading for high dynamic range (only HDR10 is available on the disc, but Dolby Vision is available on the Digital version)."

Info: Aspect Ratios of Original Trilogies
Time

The OT seems to have gotten a slightly wider aspect ratio with the D+ version.

Looking at these screenshots it seems to be a case of cropping. The D+ version has less picture at the top and bottom: http://www.framecompare.com/image-compare/screenshotcomparison/DYLPLNNX

On this one there seems to be more picture on the sides though:

Intressting.
