Ok, just wondering.

Yes, keep seeding people! It's what keeps them going.

That's what the SE SHOULD HAVE been. Just fixing little technical problems.
And I mean only problems. Don't replace perfectly good effects with CGI for no reason.

And don't change the plot, or storyline at all.

But the SE did almost the complete opposite of that.

Downloading at 13KB/s and uploading at 32KB/s, and it is 29% complete.

56 more hours.

I have the DVDs, but it never hurts to have backup. Maybe I can use my MP3 player to shuttle the files to a friend's computer who had a DVD burner, who knows.

Eh, I made my own because the ones I found weren't that good for chapter titles. http://www.prillaman.net/starwarsdvdreview-bootleg3.html
So I changed most of them for what I thought was for the better.

I'd happily print your out, Daniel. They look nicer than mine.

Yes, the TR47 torrent.

I wonder if I can shuttle the files over to a friend's PC that has a DVD burner using my MP3 player...

Argh!
I can't get my chapter inserts to print in EFFING ACTUAL SIZE.

It keeps "cropping and rotating to fit".

Can anybody tell me how to make it stop? Or printing software that doesn't suck like that?

There is talk of doing a dual layer disc to have both, but at present it is expensive and has had mixed results according to Rik. Let us know what you got though. And welcome.

Not quite, sorry.
The TR47 set has 2.0 PCM stereo uncompressed audio, and is indeed widescreen.
The anamorphic set is in anamorphic widescreen, formatted for widescreen TVs.

Sorry, just needed to correct.

Just a thought:

For a future DVDr release (be it Dual Layered or otherwise), I think it'd be a good idea to have 50 chapter stops.
It'd match up with the prequels and even SE DVD in Sept.

If said DVDr release is after Sept, you might even want to make the stops be in the same places and have the same names as the official set.

Minor thought.

So, if you do a Dual-Layered set, will the actual picture and sound quailty be improved over the TR47 set?

I know you can put menus and stuff on 'em, but is the actual movie quality improved?

Yay, Daniel used my own given names for the TR47 chapter stops!

(IMO they are better than their original names. That's the intent of course though.)

Can you give us a larger, printable size of those? They are better than mine and since the names are good (

) I'd like to print them.

Here's my reviwe on the TR47 DVDs.

The picture is great. It is the only bootleg set I own, so I can't compare to others.
But compared to my laserdiscs, they are far better!
This is because, I'm sure, my laserdisc player is NOT top notch. In fact, it's pretty low end. So this was a personal improvement for me, thanks to crappy laserdisc player.
The picture quality looks AWESOME on my 32" TV.
When watchin on PC, you can tell it isn't DVD perfect. But that can't be helped as they are sourced from laserdiscs.
No complaints about picture.

The sound is awesome. Listening to them through my father's obsessivly modified speak system, they sound like nothing I've heard before. Best sounding Star Wars I've heard.

There are no extras or menus. But that's worth it to make sure that the films themselves have the maximum quality possible.

I would HIGHLY recommend the TR47 set to anyone looking for bootlegs.

Pink? Those pics of a pink saber are real?

Jeez, you'd have to be crazy to think the ESB lightsabers needed messing with.

I'm still looking forward to thd De-SEized DVD in planning here at OT.com.

After thinking a while, forget a 'halfway edition'. If whoever ends up doing it does a halfway edition, please be sure to take it all the way as well with a fully DE-SEized bootleg DVD.

That. would. rock.

If it were an HD-DVD set it would probably have the O-OT on it, so I'd buy all six in HD.

Yes, thank you Rikter.

Without you, I'd still be watching LDs on my CRAPPY player. The TR47 discs look ten times better on my TV simply because my LD player sucks.

Not to mention the Holiday Special, Droids, Ewoks etc. torrents.

Thanks, man.
