Hi all.

I would like to ask something to the Myspleen uploaders:

Please, don't release DVDs as .ISO files. There's no problem when the file is smaller than 4 GB, but when is bigger those who already have an O.S. based on the FAT32 file system just can't download it, because that O.S.' (mainly W98) don't allow files bigger than 4 GB.

I'm not trying to tell people how to do things, please don't take it that way; I just think the DVDs would be more shared if we avoid .ISO files.

Thanks for reading and for your great work.

Sorry for the off-topic. Hehe.

I love your work; there's an incredible ammount of Star Wars related material out there.

By the way, are you releasing The Magic And The Mistery soon? I think you said something about a high quality copy some time ago.

As far as I know, creating a subtitle track is a painful job. Adjusting the subtitles takes a lot of time if you want to do it well.

But if somebody knows an easy way, please share it. I would also like to know.

I'll talk about what I would like in an official, fully restored, DVD9 discs edition.

I think the extras disc for each movie should contain its original making of (The Making Of Star Wars, SP FX: The Empire Strikes Back and Classic Creatures From Return Of The Jedi). I would also include the trailers and the deleted scenes from each film. Also the laserdisc extras for each film. Some picture galleries would be nice, too.

It would be necessary a 4th disc for "general" extras. It would include "From Star Wars To Jedi", some auditions, Return Of The Ewok, Star Tours (yeah, I think it's time to release this on DVD) and some other small stuff.

Hi all.

I received this disc and Return Of The Ewok last week.

The editing job in the Classic Edition is amazing. Of course, knowing where the special edition shots should be, you can pick some color differences but you must be searching for them. Both sources blend together very very well.

The commentary track seems to be great (and an incredible amount of work!), although I hadn't time to go through it.

I didn't check the isolated score since I already have the Editdroid version. Hey, Garret, did you reassemble the score by yourself or did you just take any of the existing versions? Just curious.

The only thing about this edition is, as somebody mentioned, the artifacts. Editing an MPEG2 and also make it fit on a DVD5 creates a lot of them. It's a pity but, as Garret says, it is what it is.

About Return Of The Ewok, the restoration work is fine, knowing the source material (we are talking about most parts of the short film taken from a camcorder screener). It was hard to me to follow the dialog. The sound wasn't that great and... well... I'm not english, so... both things together made it difficult to follow. An interesting film, though.

I haven't seen all of the extras yet. I went for the Star Tours video. I wish it had more quality. I have a camcorder screener of it that looks better (I don't know if somebody has it), but has the problems of being recorded from the seat of a flying simulator.

I checked out the Jabba scene, since it was improved with some footage I provided. It looks better than the previous version, of course.

I also got "Indulgence", a film starring Garret itself. It has some boring parts, but is pretty funny. Garret's performance is hysterical and hilarious. He emphasizes the words a lot when he's speaking, so it's quite easy for me to follow his dialogue. The story is simple and there are some good gags ("We have a very low budget"

). Both female characters are so sweet and funny (there's a green haired nurse and a pornstar called Sprinkles). There are two "south park-ed" beer bottles, too.

Well, I think that's all.

Nice discs, Garret.

Great idea. I've offered several times here the spanish soundtrack. I have .ac3 files for the 3 classic movies, but a friend of mine told me he would rip the audio from the spanish LD directly to pcm (I'm still waiting).

For the synchronicity... maybe we could release the PCMs in a divx file, with the whole movie at very low video quality, just for reference. The video could be 200 Mb more, and that's nothing, since we're talking about 1,3 Gb files.

(let's see if this cry works like the last time and magically accelerates the post service; a long delayed Deleted Magic arrived 1 day after a phrase like this, so I thought I should give it a try).

TWO different Spanish dubs with different voice casts.

Probably the European dub and the South American dub. They are different enough.

Oh.... hehe...

Ok, I'll wait... with much pain in my heart.

I wanna watch that improved Jabba scene... among with the other stuff, of course.

Oh, speaking of Jabba (and totally off-topic), I just watched Episode 3 yesterday and in the credits there was some guy acting as (or voicing, or animating, or whatever) JaVVa The Hut. With 2 V's.

There IS an official CD cover y'know. People who bought the dang thing know that.

Errrr... I don't.

I knew there was someone working on a DVD cover, but I didn't know about the CD cover (anyway, I rather waiting for the DVD cover).

My understanding is that the film was completely lost

I don't think Lucas has lost anything about Star Wars in his entire life. It's hidden somewhere, waiting the right moment to make money.

Hi Garret.

Using the 2004 DVDs will mean to re-balance the oversaturated colors, I guess. Anyway, after the Deleted Magic, I'm sure something very good will come out of this if you finally decide to do it.

In case you decide to add english subtitles, I could provide you a spanish translation. I'm offering spanish subs to some of the OT projects that are going on because, hey, it would be nice if I could watch the movie with my non-english-speaking friends, family and, yes, girlfriend.

I also have a spanish *cough* audio track...

That was Alien (Alan ) - I hope you feel okay about what you got

I got exactly what was advertised. The quality was what I expected (the only time I've seen a downloadable .VOB file to check the quality) and it had a lot of DVD-Rom extras. I ordered it through a friend's eBay account. Great item.

It would be great to recreate the Star Tours experience, at least with a decent video of the "tour" (and maybe a vibrating chair, lol).

I downloaded a 74 MB file some time ago. It was a camera recording of the whole trip. Maybe it came from the same tape. Quality was nice, but the video sice was too small. I was planning on converting it to DVD, adjusting the colors, but I'll wait for MeBeJedi's release.

The Star Wars Holiday Special - KCCI - Angrysun Release

I believe I have this one. I bought it from an ebayer some time before finding this wonderful forum.

The cover is white, with a drawing of the wookie family on the front and a big Angrysun logo on the background of the back side.

The menu also presents the same wookie drawing and there is a C3PO+R2 commercial and a strange hidden clip.

The quality is superb. The ebay seller hosted a DVD quality sample to download and check the quality before buying. I hope it was your brother, Rik, or I gave 14$ (I think it was around that price) to the wrong guy.

Some questions:

Friday the 13th Part 3 in 3D (need Special glasses to view)

Where did this DVD came from? I mean, is taken from a VHS screener or what? Quality?

Howard The Duck import from Hong Kong with Dolby surround sound

Quality of this one?

Hey Rik, your list never stops growing!

By the way, this is a question for you all: Is there any decent version of the Star Tours? I would love to own a high quality version of this, maybe taken directly from the laserdisc (last time I heard, the attraction used laserdisc as image source instead movie reel).

¡hola amigo! welcome to the club!!

¡Hola Rik! Nice place here. I've "discovered" a lot of great stuff through this forum... and myspleen. You are providing GREAT downloads there!

I'm still working with all that bonus features. I'm finished subtitling the Forgotten Scenes DVD, I just have to make a menu for that. When I have 2 or 3 discs finished I'll send them to you to check them out!
