Thanks for the information. I believe my maximum bitrate for v3 was 37mbps.

You're probably right, but I suppose the bit rate could possibly be higher than the source material, as it would still help retain quality as I encoded to an ultimately smaller file. 

I'd also like to hear if anyone tried and had or didn't have this problem with v1 or v2. I believe I raised the bitrate very slightly this time around, but still low enough to easily fit onto a BD25 with room to spare. 

If indeed that's what's causing this problem, all versions must have been straddling this very fine line. I doubt it, though. 

Unless they figured any BR components would be as good as any other and cut costs that time around. Maybe.

Is there a way to test your existing disc with a different player? I wonder if, like with DVDs, some BR players can't handle the full bitrate spectrum the format supports.

Am I right to assume that it plays fine on a BluRay player through USB? I'm sorry to hear that you have wasted resources trying to get this to work. I don't have any prior experience authoring BR discs, and don't have any myself. All I did was use Compressor's build-in BluRay video preset. Stuttering makes me suspect the bitrate, but I authored it well within the appropriate range, so I really can't say what's causing this problem.

Q2's FOTJ trilogy was the first (finished edit) to feature Padme surviving Episode III to raise an infant Leia on Alderaan, which is a small but important "fix" for continuity with the OT.

+1, fat chance notwithstanding

For your version of Empire, have you addressed the SE continuity error with the windows on Cloud City immediately prior to the reveal that Lando had been working with Vader?

ALLOL

I use all but one of those. They've all been great.

I'm replacing the scene where Mace notes a plot to destroy the Jedi in the war room with the equivalent deleted scene where he notes this along with Yoda and Obi-Wan earlier in the film. Doing this lets Obi-Wan participate and share this suspicion, which I feel helps the second half of the film. 

The other I included this time is the second of three "seeds of rebellion" scenes. This one isn't as important, but keeping it would add a little more continuity to the film, seeing that plot thread continue. 

I'm upconverting them with Compressor this time, as I did with the rest. I took a shortcut by using something else, but there is bad aliasing. No worries; just a minor setback.

Bad news, everyone! Labyrinth Of Evil will be delayed a short bit because the two deleted scenes I'm using that I hadn't used before look like shit when encoded. I'm going to re-rip and upconvert them using the old method, which will require time to reencode the final product. 

And before anyone asks, it'll be done when I have time to finish it. Be patient, and it'll be here before you know it.

Good to hear a bit from you. I'm working on encoding and distributing the final version of my prequel fan edit project, but I've got Final Cut sequences set aside to plug your source into once it's all finished.

but the VHS release may take a while to burn to a bluray.

 lol

laderdisc audio only, but you have to agree not to use to purchase goods or services.

Close, but wrong. The VHS version will indeed be coming out soon, with the full 480p .avi coming in about a year.

I feel like there's a decent Alien joke to be made, but I don't quite have it in me.

I'm pretty sure that's what Adywan is planning to do once he finishes ESB:R.

Fixed(?) 

Fixed.

A typo is a different matter altogether. Those simply cannot be tolerated on the Internet.

 Oh, carp.

Good one!

I know what you mean. Being happy with what you've done is the only endpoint.

Its.

Handman, please stop posting unless you have a contribution of substance.

 I'm trying my best here, and I've learned so much about film since I've been here. I'm fascinated by it all, and hope to learn more. Hopefully substance will follow.

 Sorry if you took me seriously, I was just joking because you were commenting on the lack of subatance of a previous post.

Great to hear! I said from the beginning they shouldn't use his treatments, and that they were cursed.
