Hey, MoveAlong!

Thanks for u/l-ing this to Usenet. I'm not a torrent guy, myself, so I depend on the Usenet community for most of my acquisitions. Is there a chance of you having time/bandwidth to post the DVD version of this there as well? Any efforts in that regard are appreciated, as are your own efforts on the "Story of" discs. I have the SOSW you created, and love it, and my kids enjoy it too.

Thanks again for your past, present, and future help!


I'm still getting the NTSC and PAL torrents. I'll put them up as soon as I can after I get them... Welcome aboard!

Get downloading! I hope those of you who can get it via Bittorrent will be nice enough to burn and send physical copies to those who can't

Well, from this remark it seems that DE would be OK with these going on Usenet. DE, If that's not cool just let me know...

Assuming you're still using a Mac and DVD Studio Pro, try working in DVDSP's timeline. That is, cut the offending frames from the beginning of the m2v by dragging the beginning of the file itself to the right in the timeline. Then if needed render some black frames as another m2v and place it before the original m2v that you've shortened. Clear as mud?

Sorry to the rest of you but I couldn't afford to make several copies of the dual layer disc for QC.

As soon as he's got back to me with any suggestions or corrections I will be burning the final disc and hopefully someone could help me make it available for torrenting and posting on the newsgroup.

Thanks

I'd love to post to usenet if you don't already have an offer.

If you want to edit the 5.1 audio from a dvd in FC, then it gets a little trickier. Use MacTheRipper to demux (separate) the audio (.ac3) and the video (.m2v) files. Use MPEG streamclip to convert the .m2v to whatever format you need to edit (in FCE, it would be DV). Use mAC3dec to split the 5.1 .ac3 into individual mono aiff's. There will be 6 files (C, L, R, LS, RS, LFE). If you're only wanting to edit the center channel with dialog, then just load that track into FC with your video. Once you've finished your cut, encode your video to .m2v and export your audio channel to aiff. Using Compressor or A.Pack (older versions of FCP), rebuild your .ac3 surround file with your new edited center channel and the remaining untouched files. Once you have your edited .m2v and .ac3, author away. If you're wanting to do work with 5.1 audio you're really going to need FCP, either The Production Suite (FCP 4.5 HD), or Final Cut Studio (v5). Your machine should run 4.5 just fine, but I'd really check to see if it will run 5. Just check out the hardware requirements at Apple. Good luck and be careful buying expensive software on ebay. If it seems too good to be true...... If you can work the educational angle, there are some good deals there.

Absolutely brilliant is all I can say! Just finished watching all 4 reels. The transfer is very well done and it's a pure joy to watch these. The colors of the aged filmstock are the first thing that stand out. That's not a bad thing! The sound mixes are very interesting, different takes and some completely different lines. I found it interesting that there was no reverb placed on the Emperor or Ben as a force ghost on Dagobah or Hoth, a stark difference. Anyway, projects like this are the reason I'm part of this community. Bravo!!!
