Well, my apologies.

They appear to be exactly the same. Sorry about the confusion. I must have imagined it all.

Sorry Rik.

*scrathes head*

I think it may be that I switched to a new DVD playing program for my computer. Let me compare them really quick and then post back...

Lemme check for protocal...

It spells it as "protocol".

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 don't know, maybe I'm just going crazy.

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)

That's it... THE PREQUELS ARE AWESOME NOW!

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.

So, that's the DVD burner you own, ADigitalMan? I can already see that it rocks, based off of the DVD I got in the mail today.

heh.

What exactly are the benefits of having an internal drive versus an external?

And how do you install them into the physical hard drive?

(Just making sure I have everything down before buying)

Hey fellow Star Wars fans.

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.

It's worth it, Galahad.

OK, I am really not getting this. Sorry, but can you tell me step by step how to get my subtitles into the DVD?

(not the same disc, mind you, but you know what I mean)

Glad you like them.

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.

Here are my version of the subtitles if you care to read them.

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.

Thanks, (Digital)man!

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.

Can anybody post screenshots of The Empire Strikes Back for this set?

I think the TR47 distincly lacks quality in parts of ESB and I would like some screenshots from this set.

Is the farsight set the famous "anamorphic" set that was heavily compared to the TR47 set? (the one called "pre se ld rips"?)

Hey AdigitalMan, how exactly do you acess the subtitles on a DVD folder file?

I am thinking about purchasing a DVD burner and wouldn't mind changing some of the subtitles (tastefully, and only slightly of course).
Like correcting a few minor type-os, changing the "oh shit!" to "help me!", etc.

Red, yellow, they both work in my book. Just don't make Dooku purple. THat would look even more retarded than Mace.

I think Dooku looks good as is, with a yellow saber.

All I'm suggesting is making Mace's saber blue rather than silly purple.

I couldn't get the frame exactly the same, but you get the point.

I will post some from ANH and ROTJ later. (ANH, I'll post caps of the same parts as in the official screencaps thread)

Just a thought. The purple looks fine as is, I mean I don't dislike it strongly.

Just seemed childish and silly especially for Samuel Jackson (who doesn't belong in Star Wars to begin with).
