I'm so glad that those of us on the internet who use torrents and Ebay can find the ORIGINAL Star Wars Trilogy, rather than be subjected to this imposter DVD set disguised as the Star Wars Trilogy.
I thought it might have been from the podracer game but that would've left bad audio quality probably. Indeed, the podrace sequence is much better with a consistant musical score. VERY nice work.
MagnoliaFan, would it be allright with you if I try to upload a full DVD folder file of BOTF and TCW? I wanna make sure you're fine with it before I go ahead and do.
About the supposed quality loss... it just seems like the brightness has been lowered (that's good) and the contrast possibly been raised as well (also good). The sound seems smoother and better equalized too. For example, on Rikter's set when Jar Jar cheers for Anakin after he won the race it cuts out the other sounds and it's all you can hear. It sounds natural and smoother in ADigitalMan's set.
I think AdigitalMan has a better DVD burner than Rikter.
the brightness is a lot better than on the DVD Rikter sent. And the color is much more vibrant and looks just like the official TPM DVD. (No offense or hurt intended, it's just I think he has better burning equipment)
I just recieved AdigitalMan's new MagnoliaFan BOTF DVD which is only different in that it contains three alternate subtitle tracks along with the original.
One is his take, one is MY take, and the other is a blend of all three.
Not much to really review about, but I like it becasue it offers choice between which subtitles you want. Mine sticks more closer to the original film TPM (to an extent).
Thanks, man. I will *try* to upload it as a torrent file if I can figure out how.
I am looking to purchase an external DVD burner this Christmas. I've been looking around and honestly, don't quite know enough to make a very informed decision.
Does anybody have any advice or tips on what to choose? I want something external from the hard drive itself, and preferably manufactured by Sony since I know their quality. Thanks for your help.
I did notice a typo on it after I uploaded it. "As you wish?" should be "As you wish."
I started with MagnoliaFan's subtitles, and went through them. When I found something I thought I should change, I looked at your version to see if it was any better. If so, I used that. If not, I came up with something new. I decided to *not* have Jar Jar think he saved Qui Gon's life. Just seemed like a stretch to me. And when there were parts (like Sebulba and Watto) that were already subtitled, I kept them mostly the same.
That sounds great. I will copy the DVD to my hard drive, give this a try (contrary to what Yoda might tell you), and eventually burn it when I have the equipment. I have to go right now, but I'll post my take on the subtitles later today.
OK, I lied. I already finished my alterations to the subtitle file above.
Now how exactly do I re-integrate it into the DVD file? Preferably as the automatic subtitle option, with the original MagnoliaFan subtitles as option number two that you can alternate to with remote control.
Bravo, AdigitalMan. That's exactly what I was thinking.
Also, how exactly do you edit the subtitles on a DVD like you did? I was thinking about modifying a few tiny aspects of the subtitles since I may be purchasing a DVD burner soon.
