After I put together Galactus' Bounty Hunter v2.0 project, I'll try to start Jedi this winter (I need a break

). I would hope to have it completed summer '08. Maybe by then the X0 will be out and I can truly finish the trilogy with version 2 of SW for '09...

I've got some days off coming up so I'll try to knock a lot of Empire out then. Thanks for the interest...

OK, subtitles are now officially complete! (for 16:9 and 4:3 sets, no less) Now, time to roll up the sleeves and get the authoring finished on this thing. I don't feel comfortable posting any screenshots yet, but I will as soon as I can. Yes, I know I've said that before. Empire has taken me a lot longer to complete than SW. Just busier with other things, I guess. But to anyone out there looking forward to this project, I can now say that I'm on the home stretch with just the authoring left for completion. I am proud of the way this is turning out.

In other news, I received my copy of the new "The Art of Ralph McQuarrie" book. AMAZING!! I can honestly say that the $150 I spent was an absolute bargain. It is massive in both size and depth of scope. I got lost in it for a couple of hours, and that was before I even got to the SW stuff. He is an amazing man, artist, and visionary...

No, go ahead and jump on that. Please let us know when you get them posted. I was a big Rush dork in the 80's and have been listening to the remasters recently. It's still good stuff.

Don't choose AVI. If you're wanting to use the DV codec, choose "Export to DV". DV is horribly destructive to color/chroma. When you get SheerVideo installed, you'll "Export to Quicktime" and then choose that codec. Then, set up your FCP timeline with that codec/framerate/etc...

You're going to find that not everything in an AVI wrapper works well on the Mac. If you're editing on the Mac, it's better to stay within the Quicktime wrapper.

Is your drive able to recognize other discs? And, if so, have you been able to rip those?

Splinter of the Mind's Eye.

First time i've read it in, oh, around 29 years! I got a hardback book club edition on ebay in great shape. It's good stuff, very adult themes in places. I had no memory of reading it when I was 8, so it's fun to get into it again. I'm around half way through...

I use Transmission for torrents. Lean and mean. Works great! I used to use Azureus, but it's bloated beyond reason now.

Just do a search for "torrent" on versiontracker and browse through the bit-torrent clients for OS X. There are more than a few from which to choose. Transmission seems to be the favorite at this point.

I believe that the MTR v3 beta is Intel native. Version 2.66 should still work just fine for you on your MBP, though.

EDIT: You'll probably need to configure OS X's built-in firewall to allow which ever port(s) your particular torrent client uses. I had to open up port 9090 for Transmission...

I just recently got a MacBook Pro with money I received for graduation. The main reason I bought it was for video editing (which is what I'm going to college for). Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a decent way to rip a DVD on a Mac. What I'd like is a DVD-Shrink-like program to rip the VIDEO_TS folder onto the hard drive, and then something to convert the VIDEO_TS files to HuffYUV AVI files for editing in Final Cut. I don't yet have Final Cut Studio 2, which I'll be getting shortly, so if that has something of the sort with it, I'll just wait for that.

I'd also like to find a Nero-equivalent for burning .FLAC audio files and VIDEO_TS folders to DVDs, if anyone knows of anything. I figured it'd be faster and I'd get more reliable suggestions here than if I tried to search Google for hours and hours, weeding through a bunch of shit that doesn't work or works poorly.

Thanks.

MacTheRipper. Version 3.0 is in beta if you can find a copy in the wild.

HuffYUV is not Mac compatible. The best lossless video codec for Mac is SheerVideo. It's not free, but if you're able to pony up cash for Final Cut Studio, it's not that much.

Use MPEG Streamclip to convert VOB or any MPEG2 file to your codec of choice for editing in FCP.

Toast Titanium 8 is THE burning app on the Mac. It handles flac's perfectly and is what I use to burn all my discs. Version 8 is what you want.

Welcome aboard!

WinSafari has already been patched. I'll second Jay's choice of Camino on OS X, my favorite. Safari is just a little too pokey on my G4 iMac.

I hope so. I started formatting the subtitles today. Still waiting for my McQuarrie book to arrive. Once that's here, then I can start finalizing things. Getting the subtitles finished is a big step toward completion...

Actually, you just need to re-download each .torrent file for seeding or leeching (info from the myspleen home page)...

Just a reminder to users of myspleen...

You need to re-download all of your .torrent files (for both seeding and leeching), otherwise you will not be connected (due to myspleen site upgrades)... So, if you were leeching something, this is the reason the torrent now appears dead. My projects' torrents are now being seeded again...

Also, it seems as if new registrations are only to be approved through an existing member invite system. No more public registrations...

I'm thinking July, hopefully. I'm about 75% of the way through transcribing the subtitles. I've started on the authoring with menu designs, but once my copy of the new McQuarrie art book arrives, I may change a few more things. When I'm a little further along, I promise I will post some examples...
