P.S. As an English teacher, I'm digging the discussion on irony... nice to see some people actually still know what it is :)

One of my first posts here was a comment about how it's almost criminal that Adywan can't be compensated for his efforts, because that would be criminal...that's irony for ya.

A question for you guys... I was watching the DVD9 the other day on my LG DVD player/recorder

Funny you mention this, because my LG DVD Recorder (LG LRA-850)
ironically doesn't play DVD-R's correctly, only commercially-made DVDs and anything I record using it. I haven't tried the DVD-9 in it because I figure it wouldn't work anyway since nothing I've ever burned works in it. I don't use it for anything but recording anyway, so it's not an issue.

I've got a question.

There is NO DVD-9 torrent for the PURIST edition, right?

There is a torrent floating around with that claim, but I want to confirm to a friend whether it's real or mislabeled, so he knows which one to download.

Ady, I thought you'd like to know that you are the topic of discussion over at The Home Theater Forum:

http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htf/movies-theatrical/212911-official-star-wars-saga-episodes-i-vi-discussion-thread-part-4-a-77.html#post3384104

Thanks to me.

My name over there is Nicholas Martin, and I couldn't contain myself. I had to ask if any of the fans there knew about this edit.

See, I wanted them to know about it because it's just so good but at the same time, being a forum with connections to the home entertainment industry means that subjects such as fan editing are quite sensitive and there's a fine line to walk.

I have burned DLs only with Nero and have never made a coaster. (we're talking at least a dozen burned for far) I am absolutely convinced that a lot of people's problems come from burning too fast. I keep it slow (max 4x, often 2.4x) and everything is peachy keen.

I have only been able to burn DL's at 4x, so with me it's never an issue of burning too fast.

Question: having never burnt a DL disk to date can i trust nero 8 to set the layer break correctly, or will i need to set it manually

If you're burning the ISO then that's all there is to it and it should retain the layer change. When I used CDBurnerXP there was no option to set the layer change and I just burned the ISO as is. When I checked it out on a DVD player the layer change was in the exact same place it is on the commercial SW discs - after Tarkin's "Terminate her. Immediately" line.

I also have Nero 8 but as I've said before I don't ever plan on burning DL discs with it because of the problems I've had with other versions of Nero making DL coasters.

In a Star Wars movie, we expect force, Jedi, ships, fighting, cool people doing cool things....not midiclorians, Jar Jar, Grevious and Vader screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOOO" like a bitch.

That is such a great statement it's becoming a signature.

No problem Sojourn :)

I've had many versions of Nero, some work fine while others burn nothing but coasters. I prefer not to take the chance with the higher-priced DVD+R DL's.

Imgburn is totally free and is a fantastic program thanks to its many careful options.

What Verbatum's are you using? I'm not aware of any Verbatum DL+R that are 4X....the ones I use are a max of 2.4X....I think you found your problem.

Whenever I've burned one of these in imgburn, it was only at 4x with no options to change it.

This is what imgburn tells me about one of my blank Verbatim DVD+r DL's.

They have a lilac-colored label.

That's due to a bad burn. You need to burn at the slowest speed your DVD burner will burn DL+R at....also dump shitty 3rd party burner programs like CDBurnerXP. Use Nero or Imgburn for best results.

CDBurnerXP didn't allow me to change the speed, it remained at 4x.

I use Nero for everything except Dual Layer discs, because I've ended up with too many coasters and of course DL's are a lot more expensive than standard DVD+/-Rs. I've only used Imgburn for Dual Layers, except this one time.

For CD burning, I use the lowest speed I can choose with Nero which is 16x, and for standard 4GB DVD burning I use either 4x or 8x. Nothing faster than that.

I used CDBurnerXP based on doubleofive's recommendation a few pages back (I've been reading various areas of this thread in addition to going through it from the beginning) and I think the problem isn't so much the disc, but the drive itself.

My DVD-ROM drive is fairly old, but so far my burner drive reads the disc without any problems. Besides, I'll only have the disc in the computer for the DVD-ROM features, not watching the film or extras.

I am amazed by how much this disc lines up with the actual SW releases, so much so that I half expected a new menu location every time.

When testing the disc on the computer, the drive becomes noisy and the disc takes forever to load, even forcing me to eject it and start again.

However, testing things you mentioned like special features menus and the layer change (nicely positioned to match the other DVD releases, good stuff) on a DVD player was flawless.

I looked at a couple of previous pages, and burned the disc with CDBurnerXP thanks to doubleofive's mention of the program.

Anything to look for in terms of glitches on a settop DVD player?

Download finally complete.

I opened the ISO using an image drive, and while the imgburn program is included, there are no 'fixed' files in the DVD-ROM folder.

They are however in a separate RAR not inside the ISO.

Is it simply a matter of putting the fixed files of the RAR into the ISO's VIDEO_TS folder and nothing more to it, or do I still have to use that QuickPar program?

Greetings all.

New member, long time reader.

I found this forum after looking around for ideas on how to improve the non-anamorphic DVDs of the OT, beyond simply upconverting them to anamorphic. I didn't have it in me to go beyond that step because I figured as long as I don't have to hit that 'zoom' button, that's good enough for the time being. I became intrigued with the idea of improving on changes done by a multi-million dollar visual effects house like ILM, and therefore I downloaded the DVD-5 version of this REVISITED film.

Not only has the stunningly brilliant man behind this improved on the work done by ILM, but I'd easily say that they've been surpassed. That is by no means a simple feat, but the very idea of outclassing and outthinking both Lucasfilm and ILM is such a bold, even spiteful thing to do and Adywan has succeeded immensely.
Cheers to you, good sir. Your talents and based on this whole thread, which I am currently reading (I'm on page 14 and I'm going to read the whole thing) your dedication and generosity are an inspiration.

I am currently downloading the torrent for the DVD-9 version, 80.9% so far (that's after two days, non-stop download with speed hovering between 30 and 60KB/s) and will be done in roughly 9 hours time.

As I have been reading the latter pages of this thread because of the problems with the ISO, I can say that the torrent consists of the following files:

- STAR_WARS_REVISITED_NTSC_DVD_9.iso (7.78GB)
- VIDEO_TS_files_fixed.rar (128KB)
- "Torrent downloaded from..." text file

I trust imgburn more than I trust Nero, because I have wasted DL discs using Nero, but both imgburn and the Sony DVD Architect DVD burner program have both worked with those discs perfectly. So this means I just have to use the files in the RAR and replace the ISO's IFO's with the RAR ones?

Ironic that it's criminal that Adywan isn't compensated for his efforts, which in itself would be criminal!
