"Come on man, use the fuckin' force here."

While I don't like the profanity that's become common on these boards lately, this was pretty funny...LOL

Interesting that it was HotRod who was able to make the same point with a lot less venom.

First off, you definitely want VBR (Variable Bit Rate). This assigns the minimum necessary bit rate for each scene, whereas CBR (Constant Bit Rate) will assign the same bit rate to all scenes regardless of content (very wasteful-big file sizes). If possible, look for an option for "2-pass VBR", to give the program a chance to analyze the video before applying the bit rate (though I'm guessing it won't be there.)

"However, it does allow you to burn directly to DVD in DVD format."

It encodes to MPEG2 on the fly? That's interesting.

I don't think I would waste too much time trying to get the files to the same size. Burn the DVD, rip the VOBs, and then remaster. This is your best case scenario.

What you are describing doesn't sound like a "bad burn". Something of this nature wouldn't alter the properties of the video - it would render the disc unplayable.

If you are editing this in Adobe, then you are going to have to "Export" the video out. Now, I don't know if Adobe will output in MPEG form (since I use Vegas), but if it doesn't, then you'll have to output as an AVI and then encode to MPEG with another program. Lastly, you will have to re-master the files to make it ready to put on DVD. Unlike music CDs, you can't just drag-&-drop any file onto the disc and have it play in a DVD player.

Oh, and as to downmixing to 2.0, I ran across this in my bookmarks. Downmix discussion. I hope it helps.

"and if you think adding scenes like showing the senate being dissolved are a bad idea then i dont know what to say."

Same goes for you thinking it would be a good idea.

"I just find it highly improbably that noone, not Vader, not Obiwan, not Palp, not Yoda, no one in the OT uses the words "Chosen One" or "Prophecy"."

Not in so many words, but...

Quote
EMPEROR: He could destroy us.

VADER: He's just a boy. Obi-Wan can no longer help him.

EMPEROR: The Force is strong with him. The son of Skywalker must not become a Jedi.
VADER: Luke. You can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny.
OBI-WAN: To protect you both from the Emperor, you were hidden from your father when you were born. The Emperor knew, as I did, if Anakin were to have any offspring, they would be a threat to him.

Just saying, is all....

"your a bunch of crap."

Maybe you didn't notice, but he was referring to the changes, not to anyone in this thread.

"As in Mark saying "I can't believe George is paying me to do this sith!"

LOL....but I distinctly remember it being Harrison Ford telling Lucas "You can write this sith, but you can't say it."

We don't know yet, which is why we need independant confirmation.

Not in the films, but it is mentioned in the novelizations.

" No LOL, i mean all 2 of em were dead (vader & palps)."

The regional governers would then take over, as was mentioned in ANH (and subsequently used in the EU.)

"Jokes aside, if they both died the Empire would be over. I mean, remember ROTJ??"

Interestingly enough, the novelization makes it clear that the Empire was under the control of Palp's Force abilities, which would explain its machine-like efficiency. After Palps is killed, the armies, which were too dependant on this control, fall into disarray, and are able to be overcome by the Republic forces. (A very similar concept was used for the droid armies in TPM.)

While the movie doesn't touch on this, you may notice that the Republic doesn't start kicking butt until after Palps is killed.
