And also, there is different thread for ideas like that:

http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Worst-Edit-Ideas/topic/10696/  ;-D

No, I'm just kidding, if you want to do an edit like that, do it. I don't think it'll improve the movie (I believe contrary) but I'd still watch it out of curiosity and I'm sure there will be a lot of people who will really like it :-)

Thats the idea ;)

Let me just say: blegh!!!

Why? :P XD

It is like taking crayons and trying to make Mona Lisa look more like your kid's kindergarten drawing...

I just instaled Vegas Pro 9.0 and it doesn't recognise m2ts files as video... :-(

Yeah, that's what I thought. I don't know, I seriously doubt it would be possible but I could try.

Frameserve?

Oh, and the artifacts were there in VLC as well. And I'm hopping to get a new external hard-drive soon, but I just plain can't afford it just now...

Thanks, I think I will actually give Vegas another shot but not until ESB v2.0 because I'm not redoing SW yet again (unless I just couldn't get the encoding to work, I'm trying multiAVCHD v3.0 now as that's what I used for Jedi. Is there some good tutorial for Vegas that you could recommend Ady (a video tutorial would be best)?

Damn!!! This time it encoded progressive but for some reason when muxed together with the sounds (which for the record are adjusted to 23.976fps) it's out of sync and what's worse it made artifacts like this all over the place:

I think I'll try making the m2ts in RipBot and then creating the AVCHD in TS muxer.

Yeah, it doesn't export uncompressed AVI in HD, mpeg2 is the only way to output 1080p, also as I mentioned before, I'm already having problems with HDD space as it is, I'm guessing an uncompressed 1080p AVI would be like 300-500GB (just a guess) instead of a 25GB mpeg2, so I couldn't use it even if Power Director could. And I really like working with PD, it is very user friendly, I tried Sony Vegas and I hated it. You'll laugh, but I even really liked Windows Movie Maker, it doesn't have all the functions I need and is REALLY crap for exporting, but the system of how it works with imported clips is just great IMO.

BTW. did you get a chance to watch Jedi yet?

OK, I changed the framerate of the Mpeg file in TS Muxer first and then started reencoding with Multi AVCHD at 23.976fps and I put the temporary *****.264 file from the multi AVCHD TEMP folder into TS Muxer right after and it recognised the track as 1920:1080p, so hopefully it will work now :-) I'm not completely convinced that that was the problem, because there was no such problem with Jedi but I'll just be happy if it works.

Crap!!! I knew it was a stupid idea to delete the file but I'm kind of strugling with disc space now with all the different high bitrate HD files so I had to delete it in order to try encoding again. There's one thing I thought might be a problem. Because Power Director (and yes, I agree it's not very good in terms of video encoding but I payed good money for it and I don't really wanna switch to a different program) only outputs NTSC at 29.97 fps I remuxed the Ady's original AVCHD to 25 fps in TS Muxer, which had the advantage of working with a PAL version in PD and being able to work with my PAL GOUT as it was. Then I ouputed a 37000 Kbps 1080p 25fps Mpeg2 which I reencoded with multi AVCHD still at 25fps and then changed the framerate to 23.976 while making an AVCHD in TS muxer with all the soundtracks. But I did it the exact same way with Jedi and it worked. Anyway, I'm gonna try changing the framerate of the Mpeg file in TS Muxer first and then reencoding with Multi AVCHD at 23.976fps.

You've done an awesome job on these Angel but I don't think there's any need of altering the sets and the colors are obviously just desaturated to the verge of black and white and that makes it look...I don'tknow... unstarwarsy. And Tarkin looks too much like a zombie. But I guess I'm just too much of a purist to appreciate such changes :-)

Oh, and the flicker is only there in MPC, it seems it has some trouble playing the interlaced video and it just plays at double framerate and doubles all the odd lines in one frame and all the even lines in the next, thus causing the lines to jump up and down which is most noticable at the edges of the black borders.

It did it again!!! In the properties in multiAVCHD it definitely says

Video: V_Mpeg2

Resolution: 1920x1080p

and it says Scan type: progressive in MediaInfo in Media Player Classic and then the encoded m2ts file is still 1080i and in MediaInfo in MPC it says Scan type: MBAFF. Now tell me what I'm doing wrong, because I'm getting desperate, I did it exactly the same way with Jedi and it worked OK.

Yeah, my computer is a bit on the slow side :-) But it only took two days including the output from PD and and then I encoded once and found out that I set the bitrate unnecessarily low so I decided to encode again. But it does take about 6-8 hrs to encode with one pass turbo. I have Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz, 2.5 GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 3470 HyperMemory 256 MB (and up to 1024 with the use of spare RAM memory). Maybe I could somehow get the hardware acceleration to work with encoding but I can't figure it out.

Yeah, I did :-)

Sorry, I'm just a bit frustrated with the situation. And oops, I miss-spelled dumb in "I'm not dumb," so I guess I must be ;-)  :-D

Anyway, every cloud has a silver lining, so I used the opportunity to fix some details I had missed before. I outputed again using the exact same settings (a saved profile) and the file is progressive. Unfortunately, knowing that I'm gonna be reencoding I deleted the original file so there's no way to be 110% sure now. I'm encoding with multiAVCHD now and crossing my fingers for a progressive result :-)

Thanks, but it didn't really help, I'm not that dumb, I'm 100% sure that the 25GB Mpeg file I ouputed from Power Director was progressive (I checked in properties in MPC) and it didn't have the flicker (which I am almost certain was caused by the interlacing - it was the top and bottom line of where the black borders start, jumping one line up and down - maybe it was my computer showing the interlaced video incorrectly). But I definitelly fed multiAVCHD a progressive 1080p Mpeg and it spat out a 1080i m2ts. I may have switched something wrong somewhere in multiAVCHD but I kinda hoped you guys would be able to tell me what...

How I can download it?

Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit!!!!!!!

Exuse my language but I'm really pissed off. I just finished encoding (took about 2 days) and uploading (about 3 days) STAR WARS v2.0 just to play it again on my TV and notice a strange flicker at the edges of the picture and find out that for some reason multiAVCHD encoded INTERLACED!!! So I'll have to start over (just encoding and uploading) so it won't be available for like another five days!!! Also if someone could advice me on how to prevent multiAVCHD 4.1 from encoding interlaced again I would really appreciate it.

Yeah, on-line petitions are definitely largely believed to be useless, especially here at originaltrilogy.com ;-)

Soooo envious...

Wow, that's just hilarious :-D ROFL

Yeah, sure, I figured that out, thanks anyway :-)
