Harmy

He is actually doing some more work on them now.

Original source. And I already fixed it like two months ago.

Ha ha, awesome:

I'll see what I can do to fix these (although one of these is from the GOUT, so if the frame is missing there, there's not much I can do about it.)

If people continue to believe that every reuse is an infringement then people will say that they have the right to remove your video.  I strongly disagree.  (but I also don't use youtube, because of this bull shit, and i'm not a lawyer)  But in the cover of BR videos, they are able to remove a lot of other videos they don't want out there.  They blinked out fan films a few years back, and even after an apology, many never returned.  I recommend filing a counter-claim:

If you want press, you can ask Jambe to hook you up with the guy at Wired he's written for.  That guy might be interested in this grappling hook video situation how it was taken down erroniously, how that relates to StarWars.com blinking out millions of pages, oh and your despecialized edition.  Would make for a good blog/article.

Oh, no we wouldn't want George to release the GOUT on BD, Dark_Jedi's already doing that. The GOUT acronym only stands for the 06 Bonus DVD (George's Original Unaltered Trilogy). We want him to restore the OUT properly.

Might it actually be a thing to consider making a separate list for each release? Original Release and re-release alterations, 97SE, 2004SE, 2011SE.

Is it

If you have the widescreen version its fine you can get the P&S, but if you have the Pan and Scan version you cannot get a edit that is in wide, because you do not own the extra image shown on the left/right.

That logic is somewhat flawed, becuase while the P&S version does have less info on the sides, it also has much higher resolution of the part that is visible.

So (and we're talking strictly morally, as it's not strictly legal either way) if someone made a pan&scan fanedit using the pan&scan 2004 DVD, you couldn't download it if you only had the widescreen DVDs as it has more resolution? Or would it be fine, as it is just a different source of the same version?

Ha ha, Fox is hunting down the Deleted Scenes on YouTube and they don't seem to bother to watch them :-) I just got this:

You really want to stick with only one audio option if you're encoding to DVD5. If you keep all the audios, it's gonna look like ass.

These are all in the source files. I never had an encoding glitch that I'd cause myself.

Right, so the exposition has to be much longer than real time. OK.

Thanks for posting that for me Adium :-)

Oh, right, so you're not actually recording on the camera itself. What if you used an HD camera and did record it straight on it? You could probably even just rent one.

Well, it would be even more noticeable for sure. That's one of the reasons why I decided against using the Blu-Rays.

I'd like to say this at the neoGAF forum:

Hello there. I'm happy to see that people outside of the OT.com forum are enjoying my edits :-)

Now, I know they're not quite as good a quality as the Blu-Rays but I think they definitely don't look bad compared to them (in reaction to this post: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=30857446&postcount=189 ):

"I like what he's doing but the quality still looks bad compared to this:"

Here's the same shot from DeEd upscaled to the same resolution for comparison:

There is of course more compression (which in this case is more prominent and noticeable in a still picture) but in terms of detail, there isn't really much of a difference, so I'd agree that it looks less good than the BD but I wouldn't say it looks bad compared to it.

And if a different picture was chosen, like those in post 240, there would probably be almost no difference at all (except that mine would have better colour ;-D  ).

Also Ady's purist edit should be pointed out to those who complain about the music additions and stuff.

Yeah, I already read that forum 

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=443921&page=4

it was one of the first to come up on Google. But there was a lot good said as well :-) Is anyone a member there? I've been trying to log in but so far no dice.

I'm actually the one who made that thread over at neogaf.

 

There was a lot of talk going on in the Star Wars blu ray thread over there, and people started bringing your Despecialized editions up. So I decided to start a thread, and I'm happy to see all the postive feedback over there.

 

I've even started seeing posts like "I'll stick with Harmy's despecialized editions until George decides to release a non tainted version of the films" and "Harmy's editions are my definitive versions" being posted in the blu ray thread.

I registered there like 5 days ago but I'm still getting this message whenever I try to post:

Harmy, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?

 

If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

I just can't help the feeling that this whole Blu-Ray release is a really clever marketing scheme. It's SW on BD, so it will sell millions no matter what, but at the same time, it created this whole uproar, which by raising public awareness will increase the sales of the eventual OOT BD release by like 1000%...

Yeah,  no reason for that, just burn straight to disc like this:

That is so cool and great!!!

For those asking me to upload the G'Kar release, it has been posted on myspleen by grisan (I hope you don't mind me saying it, bro).
