OK, Jedi's something something something complete :-D

I made it a 1080p 23.976 fps AVCHD in TS muxer so hopefully it will work for most people. I already started uploading but based on previous experience it will probably take like 3 days. System stays the same, if you're interested, PM me and I'll send you the links once the upload's finished.

Well, in multiAVCHD there is a choice between PAL and NTSC but I can't seem to find any other frame rate option, can I do it in TS muxer?

Like I said, I didn't even realize there was gonna be a problem and didn't notice it at first even after it was done.

Only Jedi is AVCHD, the other two are mkv and the original source file for Jedi is 25fps as is my GOUT so I could just work with it as it was. Power DVD still won't load the disc even after using v3.0 so I'll try converting Jedi to 23.976 like Ady said and I'll see.

Also, I think I'll redo STAR WARS from scratch once Jedi is all done and maybe even EMPIRE. This is also me saying sorry to all those who already downloaded it and to those who are patiently waiting for it because it seems it will take a lot longer now, but the results should be a higher quality ones.

I decided to scratch the menu in favor of compatibility and am currurently reencoding using MultiAVCHD v3.0.

Yeah, I remember reading this article back in '04, it was the first time I've ever heard of after effects. I've always said that these menus were the best damn thing about the othervice horrid 2004 DVDs. I mean, they're awesome. And they aren't even based on the same shity transfer as the DVDs.

Thanks.

I was using the 4.1 because v3.0 can't do motion menus but I decided to scratch the menu in favor of compatibility and am currurently reencoding using v3.0. I have always used ripbot for mkv but the AVCHD in ripbot didn't seem trustworthy to me.

Thanks for the info, Ady. I do have the ultra version, it says: There is a disc with an unsupported format in drive F.

Will it work if I just do the AVCHD without the menu?

OK, I'm trying to make an AVCHD with a motion menu in MultiAVCHD and it just doesn't seem to work (POWER DVD 10 won't load it). I tried the "relaxed AVCHD" option and a "any Blu-Ray player" option and then created an ISO with ImgBurn. Media Player Classic HC loads it but it only plays the film and not the menu. Could anyone help me with that? Is it gonna work on Blu-Ray players?

Also with 1pass FAST option the film took me over twelve hrs to encode I can only imagine that the 2pass VHQ would take ages.

Here's a background video I made for Jedi AVCHD and DVD menu.

Sorry, I won't be doing NTSC, but it really should be easy to do it by yourself.

But I am gonna do the 5.1 version of Jedi, I'm actually working on it right now. I don't have the 97 mix though, so I'll have to base it on the 04 mix but that should be quite OK for Jedi, right?

Jedi's finished. I'll be encoding soon. I'm currently working on adjusting the Czech dub to it.

I think I'll be doing a DVD9 1080p AVCHD and a DVD5 standart definition DVD because unlike SW and TESB there doesn't seem to be an edit like this for Jedi even in SD.

Oh, and btw. all 3 are PAL.

Ooops, sorry, I guess I didn't realize that there will be people looking at that video who didn't read this thead. You know I wouldn't want to take credit for your work, right? Anyway, it's fixed now.

And yeah, I guess I could have done a better job on STAR WARS but I've learned so much since then ;-) When I was working on it, I didn't even realize that the frame rate could be an issue. I think both Empire and Jedi will be better.

I'm actually considering making a 5.1 mix but there are some scenes that would have to be put in from GOUT anyway. Like I said before, I'm not much of a sound editor and also at the moment I don't have a 5.1 setup so I couldn't really test it but I might still give it a shot.

This video shows exactly what STAR WARS looks like (exept for the YOUTUBE compression f*ck-up), like I say, the frame rate issues are rather minor.

No, I'm doing the correction straight in Power Director, it's not always perfect but it should be an improvement.

So has anyone finished downloading yet? I'd like to know if everything works as it should.

No, TESB and ROTJ are fine, it's just in STAR WARS. . But I'm affraid I won't be able to do anything about it. But the framerate issues in SW are rather minor, I already watched it and it was OK.

Here is the final version of Return of the Jedi Partly Despecialized Edition ending with a better version of the ghosts.

Thanks to Grisan and consequently Darth Mallwalker for posting the links for the orig. Anakin ghost, it's awesome!!!

That's great Darth Mallwalker, thank you.

I really need someone to post the 97 SE ending of Jedi to RS for me, PLEASE!!! I want the best quality source possible for the original Anakin ghost for my ROTJ: Partly Despecialized and I can't find TB or KGar Jedi anywhere. Could someone PLEASE just extract those few seconds of the ghosts from either one of those and post a clip to RS. It would really help me, it's the only thing left to do on my edit. PRETTY PLEASE!!!

OK, I finished a workprint of Jedi. Here are a few samples of the color correction:

Note that it's just a work in progress. Seeing the pictures side by side makes me think I may have gone a bit too far in places but I think it is an improvement.

Well, I'm still planing on doing this eventually but I'm occupied with other projects right now.
