Fair enough; I’ll re-re-revisit that scene and see if it can be smoothed out.

It’d be a godsend for my Restructured edit if they included the scene between Kylo and Snoke before adding the CG mask. Someone could rotoscope it relatively easily.

That’s all right; I’ll just start with the main audio track in my timeline, and re-remove the music. That’ll be the safest way to proceed. No idea on a timeframe, but it’s on my to-do list and will represent a major ‘open loop’ until I take care of it.

I just verified the issue you are reporting, on the alternate audio track.
Well, crap damn. I’ll have to fix that. Please let me know all the spots you noticed this in as you watched the film. Thanks for reporting, and I’ll get a fixed and re-muxed version going.

Well… then I have no idea. 😕

OP. 😃

For those authoring the BluRay version to disc with TSMuxer, you need to select “Do Not Insert VUI/SEI Data"

Yeah, it looks like the site has yet to be updated after I submitted the new links.

Aside from a few tiny things that I addressed while I was at it, the difference is the audio. V4.1 fixed an audio issue affecting all prior releases, in which the left and right channels are identical, making it a weird sort of mono surround.
I didn’t want the final product for people to be V4 + muxing, so I did a minor point release.

For TAS, the only differences are the fixed audio and inclusion of subtitles.
Every prior release had a weird audio problem where the left and right channels were identical. Since I didn’t want the final product presented to end users to be “here’s instructions on how to mux things,” I had to do a V4.1.

I am not planning on it, but I’d remail open to it if a regrade project that knocks my socks off comes along. I doubt I’d do it just for that one scene. That’s why I used the same video stream as V4 for V4.1, because it didn’t have so much pixelation during that scene.

Yeah. I resorted to an HDTV source for my fan edit of AOTC despite a high level of video noise just because the colors looked correct. The BluRay colors for AOTC are very off-putting.

Is that a Chevy '69? How bizarre.
It’s on the spleen and has been submitted to .info.

Thanks for taking the time to see it and give your thoughts. The project is very much finished and settled on my end, but perhaps one of the people who are doing edits based on mine will use your ideas. I could go on with this forever, but I’m holding to my statement that V4 is the final form (4.1 being a bugfix with no creative changes), and has had a sufficient incubation period.

I totally understand. I played around with finding a way to reinclude a shortened droid factory scene a number of times, but ended up concluding that I just loathe the sequence in just about every aspect. I felt including the scene with Dooku and wiping away to the Senate afterward worked reasonably well, because I couldn’t just have Anakin and Padme land as its own scene.

Have you ever known me to mind things like this? This is what this meta-project is all about.

Posting this here so I don’t bump my other thread too:

Exciting bit of fun! This final release of Labyrinth Of Evil contains the Backstroke Of The West subtitles synced up. Now it’s hands-down the best way to experience Episode III.

No, OnlyOneKenobi did the covers and I haven’t heard from him in a few years now. I simply do not have the skill set to be able to modify the covers as you describe. 😦

I was seconds away from burning 4.0 to discs. Very happy I checked the thread.

V4.1, which truly ought to be the final form of these edits, has hit bittorrent. I’ll be submitting it to FanEdit.info soon as well. Thanks for all your patience. I’m sorry to make you guys download these so many times, but I’m finished.

I will hold off a while to see how things turn out, but if worse comes to worse, I could always just use the V4 video stream and just fix the bad audio. It’s not like the BluRay is a basket of fruit either, and the day for night scene won’t be that much more jacked up than the transfer of the rest of the film.
Attack of the Clones is a very ugly film.

This is why I don’t even read the comics at all.

I’m particularly interested in your regrade of AOTC. Looks pretty good from the screenshots. Any idea for releasing that one?
Was there a universal setting applied for AOTC you can describe, or scene by scene?
Thanks, and good luck completing what looks to be an ambitious but very nice project!

Yeah, I will update them when the new versions are finished, which hopefully will be sooner than later. The torrents should still work in the meantime. Thanks for your patience; Ep2 is taking a lot longer than expected.

I was working on this very thing a couple weeks ago. So I can probably help you out but it might be another couple weeks til I can get to it.

Wow, that sounds great. Can you elaborate on this at all? It might sound weird, but knowing you’re tackling the same issue fills me with relief. Please keep me posted. I’m moving onto Episode III in the meantime.

Out of curiosity, why switch to the Blu-Ray source?

The HDTV source is not as high quality, and very noisy. There are a few glitches throughout, and the only thing I really wanted from it was the color information. So it seemed like the BluRay with a few color tweaks would be the superior source to go with for the final version. Short answer: I flip-flopped.

First post updated with link to PCM audio output for those who would like to mux it in themselves.
