I wouldn't mind posting your Indy captures to usenet. Who knows, maybe someday I might give them the ol' "Story Of" treatment. Any lossless format is cool with me...

Good luck! Let us know how that goes. It'd be nice to have someone on the "inside".

Will you be using all HD sources? If so, it would rock to have an HD release along with the dvd's. Looking good. I like the snow! I had a hard time with that...

I would suggest maximum quality/lowest compression settings if using JPG. However, I prefer it when the full quality lossless TIFF's are made available. Depending on the artwork, A TIFF might be 25-30 MB at 3240x2175, 300dpi...

As stated on the first post of this thread, available on alt.binaries.starwars, myspleen.net (still being seeded), and rapidshare (fanedit.org)... PM's are also a good way to ask someone if they'd be interested in sending you copies (hint, hint...)

Just go into the Keyboard and Mouse pane in System Preferences and enter what you want the right side of the mighty mouse to do. By default, the left and right side of the mighty mouse are set to primary click, due to the Mac historically being a one button mouse system. The mighty mouse will do whatever you want it to. You just have to set it up. Pretty much any mouse will work automatically on OS X. I've used a 5 button Microsoft mouse for years without any problems...

You're going to have to deal with the different aspect ratio's of the two sets. I believe one of them is squashed down to 2.25:1, can't remember which one. In other words, one set has thicker black bars than the other. Some cropping and resizing will be necessary. Good luck...

Again, I think Abrahams should have gone with the original design. I mean they even have all the new CG designs done from the SE versions of TOS. That old ship looks really good in the updated episodes... very detailed and tasteful. I know, I'm just an old timer....

I guess I'm old school, but there has never been a better looking Constitution-Class starship than the TOS variety. I don't see any need to "jazz it up". I wasn't a fan of the Enterprise series, but they did it right when the alternate universe crew finds the missing U.S.S. Defiant from the future from the TOS Tholian Web episode. It was great to see the "old school" ship in battle. I think they should have gone the authentic route...

This is way off-topic, but what is the best dual-layer inkjet hub printable disc out there in terms of quality vs price? PMs ok if you don't feel like replying here... Thanks!!!

Because there are people who will want to seek out the best possible blank media on which to place this project, I feel this is on topic enough to warrant a response...

The best disc would be a Taiyo Yuden dual layer hub printable watershield glossy. Unfortunately, I don't think they make it yet (or at least I couldn't find it on Google). What I did find...

DVD+R DL 8X MBI WATERPROOF GLOSSY WHITE INKJET HUB (45 PCS)

DVD+R DL 8X MAM-A WHITE INKJET HUB PRINTABLE (25 PCS)

Taiyo Yuden 8X 8.5GB Dual Layer DVD-R, Inkjet White, Hub Printable, 100pack

MAM-A (Mitsui) DVD+R DUAL LAYER, 8x, 8.5GB, White Inkjet Edge-to-Edge Printable

The Taiyo Yuden will obviously be great quality, although I couldn't find it anywhere in less 100 quantity. Anyone have experience with the MAM-A (Mitsui) or Moser Baer (MBI) dual layer media?

My review in one catch phrase...

...Tour de Force...

We all know that ady is incredibly talented, so I won't go on gushing about that. I've spent the last 2 or so hours watching and being amazed. When I saw the 97 SE in the theater, I remember being so incredibly disappointed. It was so cheesy and poorly done. I wanted so desperately to be impressed with GL's new monster, but I was given the middle finger instead. I never even bothered to see the 97 Empire and Jedi in the theater after that. Well, earlier this afternoon I had the feelings I wanted to have 11 years ago when watching an "SE". There are so many little subtle things that were great (interrogation droid needle for example!). I'm sure I also missed tons of others and look forward to discovering them. I watched it alone and I literally let out a loud "Whoa!" at the DS TIE attack. THAT'S what I wanted 10 years ago! I have never been more proud to be a member of this forum than right now. Adywan, thank you for letting us be a part of this... I don't think any of us realize the kind of waves and impact this edit is going to cause. This is truly a watershed moment in the fanedit community and beyond...

P.S. It was also pretty weird (and cool) to see my name in the same grouping of credits that included Ralph McQuarrie. Thanks! it's an honor to have contributed something to this amazing piece of work...

Just wanted to offer my congratulations, ady (and echo Jambe's wisdom from his earlier post). What you've shown us of your work is truly phenomenal. I'm sure the finished product will be great. You've spent a LOT of time and energy on this. I know how much commitment these projects take, so my hat's off to you for seeing it through...

I love having giganews at a time like this...

We're not talking about the Radio Drama's here. The story of Jedi was done in 83 along with the rest.

digitalfreak is correct.

As for doing any sort of HD SE version, I'm not really set up with stout enough hardware for HD editing.. Yet.

What the radio drama and vinyl story of Jedi do have in common is that they are of inferior quality to their respective predecessors... kind of like Jedi itself...

Hey MoveAlong, I just got this, and Story of Star Wars. Have you began work on RotJ yet? Looking forward to completing the trilogy.

Haven't started ROTJ yet. I honestly don't know when I'll be able to, either. Don't worry, I definitely want to finish the trilogy and plan on doing it eventually. It would be great if I could get started sometime this year.

On another note, I actually listened to TSOROTJ a while back and was pretty disappointed with the quality of production. It was produced by a completely different team than SW and Empire and it shows. The narrator is WAY over the top, narration is in past tense, and seems to be aimed a little more to the kiddy audience than the first two albums. We'll have to see if I can work it into an edit worth watching. I'll keep everyone posted...

Lord knows I wish I knew where as well. I think they were on Usenet, but I hadn't downloaded from binary groups in years and not sure how to get it set up again for that.

Volume 2 is still available on usenet via giganews, and should be another 50 days or so. Giganews has 200 day binary retention.

Ady has some skills, that's for sure. Just wanted to say that both of Ady's files play fine on my old G4 iMac, no delays or stutters. I use VLC to watch the MPEG2 files and the Perian Quicktime codec pack for OS X to view Xvid's directly in Quicktime player.

Oh yeah, Bravo! Hey, are those the photoshop subtitle layers I sent you a long time ago on Greedo? They look great! Obviously looking forward to the final. Go out and have a pint. You probably need it...

The scans aren't reference quality but are definitely worth having (very hi-res). I got mine from absw. In fact, I used one of the ESB scans on the back cover of my The Story of The Empire Strikes Back. It's the one of Luke in the carbon freezing chamber in the red lighting looking for Vader...

It's against the rules to post a torrent link. But the NTSC version is on myspleen (invite only). As strangelove said, turn your PM's on in your profile and then send one of us a PM. I can get you an invite to myspleen if strangelove hasn't already done it. The torrent is not very active now, but if I see someone leeching, I'll seed it until it's done...
