Nearsighted Scrappile

This release has sparked a childhood memory.  It brought me back to that fateful evening in 1977, where my life was changed forever.  Sure, I was only 5 years old, but I remembered it so vividly while watching this on my HD monitor.  My parents ended up divorcing three years after that, and I remember how intense it was, but this memory hit me like a ton of bricks.  We went as a family to see the film, and of course we were totally blown away, but the memory came as I was watching the part where the Tatooine and Death Star scenes were alternating.  Tatooine was so bright and natural, while the Death Star was cold and artificial.  Even at that age, I was able to respond and recognize the contrasts of the good guys and the bad guys.  The cinematography was just so powerful!

I feel so lucky to have had a new Star Wars memory, and I am still kind of shocked.  I really mean it Harmy, thank you so very much.  After all these years, and so many releases, this is a testament to just how close to the 1977 experience this release is.  I honestly do not remember ANY of the official releases conjuring a memory like I've had tonight.

i want to change the file name of the mkv, but doesnt that affect seeding the torrent? i feel like it would but does anyone know for sure if renaming the mkv will affect seeding the torrent?

I was beat to the reply.  :)

Scroll up.  It's at TPB and 1337x now.  :)

I have re-upped to TPB and 1337x.  I had to remove the following for the trackers to accept it:

vsfilter.dll folder
_README.html
prep_subs.pl
prep_subs-match.pl
prep_subs-rtl.pl

If anyone wants to try those trackers, please let me know via PM if there are any problems.

Sorry, flynn2000.  That was my bad.  I'm on the MySpleen torrent now and my fiber-optics will speed things up.  I'm over halfway done already and will be seeding at full throttle.

Indeed.  Now I'm back to 4.7MBps.  I guess I'll just let it ride.

I'm only getting around 9KBps on the MS torrent.  Perhaps I should try the original uloz.to links again?

I wonder if that has anything to do with the bad bencoded data error I received at MySpleen when I tried to create a torrent there.

Okay everybody,

I have taken down the torrent at 1337x and TPB.  I don't know where it happened, but I can confirm the MKV glitches around the 34 minute mark, and causes MPC to lock up and crash.  I guess that's what I get for just skimming before uploading it.  There's no way to tell when or where the fault occurred, so I'll be going after it on MySpleen and hopefully I'll have a better copy.  Between JDownloader and all the damn CAPTCHA's, WinRAR, and the act of downloading itself, I don't know where it happened, but it did.

My apologies, everyone.  "Hey, Your Worship, I'm just tryin' to help!"

*EDIT*

I have joined the swarm at MySpleen and I will seed my pants off.  I have incredible speed and will share as long as I am able.

I haven't received one bad comment on it yet, and it checks out fine for me.

I don't know what any of you are talking about with the TPB torrent failing.  It contains the MKV, along with the Threepio Project folder, minus the par2 files, pl files, and html file, BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T ALLOWED.  I did NOTHING to alter the MKV and it is fully intact, with all audio and subs.

The one from MySpleen also seems to have some extraneous files in the Project Threepio folder.

I can confirm this.  That is why I cleaned things up for 1337x and TPB.  I kept getting bencode errors at MS, so I'm glad someone was successful.  Those extraneous files account for the "difference" between the torrents.  Also, the html readme file had to be removed because they are not allowed with video files.

Happy Birthday, Harmy.  Thank YOU for the present.

Well I'm not going to change the way I do things for it to work on MySpleen.  I also have the latest uTorrent and the torrent I created is working fine at TPB and 1337x.  I went to the Spleen forum and posted a question about the error, so we'll see what happens.

Finally got it working on TPB.

Couldn't get it to work at TPB either.  They seem to be having sql problems.  I did manage to get it on 1337x if anyone's interested.  PM for link if you like.

I keep getting a "not a bencoded file" error at MySpleen.

Sorry guys, I tried.

Does anyone have access to the Project Threepio folder for this?

WOW.  V2.0 is the absolute SHIZNIT.  Harmy sir, you have brought quality to where I truly thought quality couldn't be brought.  I'd send a copy to LFL if I knew it would do any good.

I really don't know how you, or any of the folks here, work your magic, but hat's off to you sir.  I'm able to work some magic with with audio, and I've gotten pretty good over the years, but this stuff is just incredible.

This is now the definitive version for my HD equipment.  Period.

Congrats on the thesis, Harmy!  PM sent.

Dying from the antici.... *THUD*

This is truly exciting and I can't wait to take it for a spin.  Whenever you're ready Harmy, my super-fast connection is prepared to share the love!

Oh gosh, I hadn't thought of that with the encoding error.  If you have a dual core Harmy, perhaps it's time to look into at least a quad core, especially when you tackle the BD version?  For me, I use a dual core and it can still take over two days to create a BD with a simple menu from an MKV that is 13GB+.

Sorry, Moth3r.

And let's not forget the "improvements" and "enhancements" for the upcoming 3D abomination!  At least we have Raiders of the Lost Ark coming to us in IMAX to celebrate the restoration and BD release.

Raiders also has cgi "improvements", lol. likely, you won't see the theatrical release.

Incorrect.  Spielberg has stated that the restoration is of the original 35mm negative, and things like the glass reflection of the cobra will not only be seen again, but in IMAX to boot.
