AOL on that.

As n00b as I seem I like to think my heart's in the right place, even though my own abilities are rather limited. I'm not always the first or the best but sometimes I manage to just get the job done in a way that's easier to handle...like my old DVD-R that I made from Moth3r's mono rip and the EditDroid v1 ANH...or my lighter-weight videos that I encoded for viewing on a computer... (that's how I've usually seen Star Wars as of late anyway).

I'd just like to have the whole trilogy as originally shown, in all its variants - mightn't mind having the 1985 FSes for kicks too as that's what I grew up with. (Born 1980)

The OGM is up on my tracker, and I submitted the torrent to Mininova and Torrentspy. (As per current rules I'm not allowed to provide the link TO my tracker, but you can salvage that from the torrent metadata. That's partly why I put it on the search engines.)

It's 1.1 GB. The codecs are the usual xvid/mp3 so as long as you can play ogm you should be set.

Help Wanted: 1997 mix ac3/mp3?

I thought of doing some experimental work and need to locate a good copy of the 1997 Star Wars mix…can’t find my dvd with a 2.0-channel 1997 mix on it 😕 - also, can’t find my tapes, don’t really want to open them (my backups got damaged some time ago) and no longer own a VCR :\

I am thinking of trying to cut the 1997 mix to match the GOUT, flying in from 1993 where necessary.

Thanks to anyone who can provide me this.

I'm working on encoding the stuff to make it not so huge and I think I got a good encode of the movie proper + commentary. This isn't for everyone, just those who want to see this without downloading 7.8 GB. (Also note I'm not including any extras beside the commentary.) The video is OGM, 1.1 GB, and contains the main audio track and the commentary track, both in 128 kbps mp3. The video codec is FFMPEG libavcodec, XviD-compatible, 836x352 @ 973 kbps. I am considering torrenting this encode, probably on Sunday or so when my bandwidth's not tied up from NUMB3RS or Pokemon.

I did pretty much the same thing a couple years ago for Dr. Gonzo's DVDs.

Replying to myself because I thought of something to add.

In the beginning, I found it difficult to work with the materials I had, because my computer was a 700 MHz Celeron with 64 MB RAM running Windows 2000 (you may have heard my laments about the pitiful state my computer was in)... I'm using a 2.0 GHz Sempron64 with 512 MB RAM and Ubuntu Linux (somewhat customized to be more efficient with that 512 MB), so working on the project became a lot easier.

The video track I have at this time, is from the LE R1 bonus disc (your GOUT), and the Greedo subtitles have been reformatted for the best match to what I'm familiar with. I don't know exactly how they looked in 1977, this is based on my recollections of VHS versions and EditDroid's subs.

The audio track I am currently using is a composite. Top priority is to the 1985 UK TV capture, then to the CED, then finally to an audio track salvaged from an encode of Dr. Gonzo's DVD (1993 LD). I plan to replace this if a better track comes along.

I am currently also using the LE R1 AC3 as "the 2.0", not sure if it is or not, it's certainly not the mix I've heard on the VHSes, nor ROW47, and afaict matches details of both the 2.0 and DE, neither of which I can tell apart atm.

Most likely, I'll offer this as an OGM, and it will be possible to isolate the audio tracks, ac3 them and mux them onto vobbage if need be.

I'd like to at the bare minimum have the option on one file (ogm, dvd, either way), as many "original theatrical experiences" possible...this means the 1.0 and 2.0 mixes...

I'm also considering adding some "but this is how *I* remember it!" extra tracks. Might not be possible, but maybe it can. And of course the 1985 mix, because that's what *I* grew up with. (I wasn't born until 1980, didn't see SW until 1994) And perhaps while I'm at it I can cut down the 1997 mix and cross it with the 1995 mix for a best-of-breed. (CLOSE THE BLAST DOORS! just like the 1.0)
