Thanks for that 😃

Behind the scenes footage from ANH of stunt coordinator Peter Diamond holding the Lewis Gun “DLT-21” blaster.

Which documentary does it come from?

Thanks 😃

Has anybody else had this problem? Only the Hoth level works for me. The other two just display a black screen with music playing and no input works other than escape to quit or ctrl+r to reset etc.

I can't find anything online about this and I've tried two ROMs from different sources. I can only think that both those ROMs have something wrong with them. Can someone please PM me the source for a working ROM?

Thanks

Hey Jambe, is there going to be an update now that the long lost lightsaber building scene has surfaced? :)

Lol.. that reminds me the Cassete player debate :P

Post modernism my ass :P

I think it was a backup tape drive not a cassete player. A QIC (quarter inch cartridge) tape drive If I remember correctly... well it was a long time ago!

I just downloaded both IV and V, burned ep IV and I'm having some issues with it.  First off, I'm playing it on a Sony BDP350.  The picture is beautiful on the disc, but there's a "stuttering" issue.

I've processed more than 75 blu-ray's to AVCHD discs on DVD+R DL's and never had a problem playing back any of them.  Could it be the framerate of this disc perhaps?  I have a PS3 that I'll try it on later to see if I have the same problem.

Thanks,

Rick

Go back a few pages in this thread and you'll see that others have had problems with EpIV on the S350. I was eventually able to fix it thanks to the input of some members here.

Hope it's not too off-topic but someone posted this nice poster design a while ago (full credit to the original artist but I can't find the original posting) but it looked took 'Photoshop-ish'. So I applied some filters to make it looke more like a painting.

My only complaint is that the Vader helmet is the horrible symetrical ROTS version. The ESB Vader helmet is FAR superior :)

Alternative attempt.

Strange. Myself and other 350 owners had the exact same problem with ANH while ESB played fine.

Ady, was there a second release? Could someone else have fixed it and uploaded it somewhere?

Well I'll be damned! It pretty much worked :)

Previously I was converting the video from 24 to 23.976 while demuxing the MTS2 file on my DVDR but when leaving the conversion until the final creation of the Blu-Ray disc it works.

The only thing wrong is the subtitles are now playing to fast. I thought that ticking their 'Bind FPS to video file' box would solve this but it doesn't.

Maybe I can find a program out there that converts the FPS of .SUP files from 24 to 23.976?

Many thanks to Adywan. All you Sony S350 owners can now enjoy his fine release :)

I'm pretty sure that is exactly what I did but I will go over it again. Thanks.

That didn't quite work either. Now the sound plays slightly too early. Starts off looking okay but by the time the death star explodes you hear it 8 seconds before you see it!

I'm no expert at video files and frame rates but maybe someone knows what's going on here? My previous attempt where  I didn't convert the video strem from 24 to 23.976 had the sound 8 seconds late LOL!

Oops. I didn't do the 24->24000/1001 conversion to the video stream. I'll try that. Thanks Ady.

Well, the 24->25FPS then 25->23.976FPS slowdown almost worked. The sound is still running slightly too slow but the delay in the death star explosion is only 8 seconds now.

Maybe converting from 24 to 25 in besweet and then 25 to 24 in eac3to might work?

24 -> 25FPS and 25 -> 23.967FPS

Thanks I'll give that a try.

It's like the sound has been slowed down so the longer the movie plays, the more out of sync it gets.

When the STAR WARS title appears, the sound is only about 1 second behind, but when the death star explodes you don't hear the explosion until 5 minutes later!

You can also try using eac3to to convert to 23.976.  It will do everything for you.  Just use a format like this:

 

eac3to c:\sourceblurayfolder c:\newfile.mkv -slowdown -640 (for 640k AC3)

 

Then use tsmuxer to create the blu-ray folder from the mkv.

 

Hope this helps.

Is there anyway to do this slowdown fix but cut out frames to bring the new sound stream down to the correct length?

I tried this today. On the Sony S350 the sound did play from the start and didn't cut out at all but it is now playing too slow. The longer the movie goes on, the more the sound becomes out of sync.

Any ideas?

I defy anyone to watch this without at least smiling when the credits start!

sorry to here about the issues you are having. I do have an idea how to fix this for you.

Download TSMuxer. Load the .m2ts file into it. untick the main video file and select demux to demux all the audio tracks. Once this is done retick the video file and remove all the other tracks (subs too i'm afraid). keep TSMuxer open.

Now you'll need Besweet to import the audio tracks into to convert them to 23.976fps. load each audio file into besweet individually and select ac3 as the output. Now for the 5.1 track you need to click on the "ac3 & ogg" tab. change the bitrate to 640 and click back on the besweet tab. now tick "change framerate" and input 24000 into the first box and 23976 into the second. now output your 5.1 audio track. now for the 2 other audio tracks do the same as above but change the bitrate to 192.

Now you have your new audio tracks import them all back into TSMuxer. Make sure that the 5.1 track is the first audio track in the list below the video file. Now click on the video stream to highlight it. Tick the "change fps" box and change the value to "24000/1001". This will just change the header in the video to play at 23.976fps and doesn't add or remove any frames. Now select "create bluray" as the output and create your folders. Once this is done open imgburn and import both the BDMV & Certificate folders and change the udf file system to 2.50 and burn. everything else should be done automatically by Imgburn.

Hope this helps

Hey Ady,

I tried this today and it didn't fix the problem. Any other ideas mate?

Thanks

Don't know if these have been discussed before but they always bothered me.

As Luke watches the Falcon blast out of the rebel base his head turns but doesn't seem to be synced with the falcon, like he's looking in the wrong direction.

And (and this thing kind of thing bugs me in lots of movies!) when the swamp creature spits R2 out on Dagobah we see Luke watching his flight but his eyes don't roll smoothly because he had nothing to look at for reference. Instead his eyes fix on several places.

What they should've done is have someone off camera  even just wave a stick or something to show the path of R2 so that Mark could follow it with his eyes.

Hope I explained that well enough :-\

I'm also going to be building a new wampa head with horns, shoulders & arms to replace the original puppet. this way i can also replace the weird looking wampa shot as it lunges at luke in the cave. I'm starting work on that later in the week so as soon as that is finished i will post some photos.

 

Have you thought of getting in touch with someone who has built various Wampas in the past? Such as Tom Spina whom I know from The Replica Props Forum http://www.tomspinadesigns.com/Sculpture.html. Scroll down to the sixth row. I also remember he built a full size Wampa a while back.

Going back to the ion cannon, have you already discussed putting something up on the targeting screen? Cos all eyes in that "Stand by ion control" shot are on a blank sheet of glass/perspex.

It would be nice to have the ships and a tergeting system.
