Star Wars 1977 releases on 35mm
Time

This is absolutely heartbreaking to read. As someone who lost months of work in the past I can feel your pain. In fact I got out of working in 3D animation just because of how much stuff I lost to a hard drive catastrophe. If I can give you any advice it would be not to give up the hobby. It’s the one thing I regret more than losing all my work. Hang in there man, we’re all pulling for you.

Harmy's RETURN OF THE JEDI Despecialized Edition HD - V3.1
Time

I always enjoy the comments that come in waves when Harmy releases a new version of these movies.

  • First comes the “When is this getting released?” comments.
  • Second are the “Where can I download this?” comments.
  • Third are the most intense… “THIS IS AWESOME! HARMY IS A GOD!”
  • Next come the crushing lows of “Are the colors right on this shot Harmy?” and “Is this an error or was it supposed to be here?”
  • Luckily, for Harmy, that wave of comments is usually followed up by a second round of “THIS IS AWESOME! HARMY IS A GOD!” posts.

I’m going to skip to that last round of comments and just say thanks. This is truly a the best version of Jedi that I’ve ever seen. As always this is greatly appreciated.

Star Wars GOUT in HD using super resolution algorithm (* unfinished project *)
Time

I'd love to see these restoration attempts compared to what DJ and his team were able to pull off.  I understand that this isn't a contest to see who can do better but if at the end of this you do end up doing better then the community as a whole benefits.

Open discussion and comparison to what has come before can only lead to a higher standard of restoration projects in the future.  I see no harm is using the TeamBlu projects as a baseline for amazing quality and attention to detail.

Rats. I may be totally out of luck here (unless I go for a hardware purchase). I did upgrade the firmware; no luck. Thanks for the info, though.

When I had my old computer setup I had problems playing back DTS-MA tracks all the time.  I was able to convert the DTS-MA tracks to DTS using TSmuxer with ease.  It might be worth a shot if the file is still giving you trouble.

I created an xdelta patch for going from the pre-fix version to the final fixed version (with correct audio labels, etc.). If you have the old version and don't want to redownload ~20GB or muck about with mkv editors, you can use this. Just extract it to the same folder as the mkv video file and run the .bat file. You need to make sure to have the same name as originally downloaded or to edit the .bat file if you've changed it. And be sure to have another ~20 GB available before starting as it will create a whole new file!

Dropbox link, hopefully will work here

I tested and verified, the fixed version should match the official md5 of 1e34878403b05924f71354e961016fce after completion.

 Huge thanks for this Deusxanime.  I had been meaning to change my file and start seeding but I was too lazy. This was the kick in the pants I needed to get this seeding again.  I really appreciate this.
