My idea was to take the TR47 2.0 PCM track, if it could be equated to the 4.2, and make a 4.1-channel AC3 stream to put with the 1.0 and 2.0 mixes. mencoder has something like a ProLogic emulator and can encode 4.1 AC3s (I've done it).

(Edit) should've clarified I specifically meant ANH

How different, precisely, is the DE from the 4.2, I wonder?

Gotta love X Window and BSD/POSIX cross-compatibility.

Yeah, I lined it up with the Dr. Gonzo version (had an AVI of it sitting around).

As soon as I have the source material, I'm going to put it together, seeing if I can't get those damn hardsubs to come with me (rerip?), and reauthor - might have to futz a bit with the menus, since I don't know what I'm doing there... (DVD Styler, prolly what I'm going to use.)

I don't know what generation my 1.0 is. (Came as an mp3 and I patched it up.)

I haven't gotten the 2.0 yet, but I think it's directly ripped from a laserdisc.

The DVDs I make use FFMPEG's variety of AC3 encoding.

What was imprinted on me was the 1985 mix and a pan-and-scan version of the movies... lol

Pretty much what XP77 is.

4) Missing scene! I'm positive there was a scene when Vader told two TIE Fighter Pilots "A gorup of fighters have broken off from the main group - come with me". Am I imagining this scene?

"Close the blast doors" was in the 1.0 mix only. The scene you mention, I'm quite sure I saw it there too (or, at least in the XP77:4EB, which is based on the Mysterious Mysteries version but with the 1.0 mix).

To date I haven't figured out DVD Styler either... >.>;

Simple stuff is easy enough in DVD Lab but I don't know about audio menus and such, not to mention it really hogs the computer while compiling, unlike DVD Author. <.<;

No, and that's why they're gone.

I use DVDAUTHOR for most stuff but I don't know how to do menus with it yet. It at least keeps all the sub streams.

If I could figure out its weird xml/assembler language, I'd use it to make the menu for the final XP77.

I've mentioned it in its own thread, and on the Torrents thread, but it possibly bears mentioning here too - the first version (1.0 only) of my XP77 (Experience '77) edit is up.

The nature of this edit - and I'll do a little more work with it for the next (XP77:5EB.0) version - is that it builds on a previous edit, the Mysterious Mysteries edit, by using a patched version of an audio track reflecting the 1977 1.0 mono mix.

The final version will have the subtitles remuxed in (they are missing from the 4EB.1 version) and also contain the 1977 2.0 stereo mix.

I do not have any better video sources at this time but would like to redo it as an Anamorphic version, with better picture quality.

My working premise was that some people believe the 4.2 mix made it to the DE laserdiscs.

Hopefully this torrent will work, atm it hasn't tried connecting, it's scanning the files.

It's in the mono mix. I don't think it's in the 1977-original 2.0 or 4.2 mixes.

It's just Play and Chapters. I've thought of releasing without menus.

Here you go.

Seems to run pretty well.

I'm going to reauthor the disc (but still with tmpg - just patched up the menu a little bit), and release it to torrent in the next few hours, I think.

It's a DE laser rip (2.35:1 -> 4:3 letterbox), with a recreation of the original rollup, and the 1985 remix audio.

Adobe products and my ancient box don't seem to like each other very much. How heavy is DVD Lab (RAM-wise) ?

That's what I'm hoping for with the final XP77 too.

BTW, anyone know of a DVD authoring program that's not a bitch to use, makes good menus, and doesn't strip off my subtitles? I could really use such a program for XP77 and other projects.
