Topic: Harmy's STAR WARS Despecialized Edition HD - V2.7 - MKV (Released)

Okay, maybe someone can help with this.

Today, I used PowerISO to mount the Version 2.7 ISO file and watch the film for the 40th. I use MPC with the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack. It played fine, and there were several audio options to choose from, but NO subtitles. I thought this was strange, but maybe a result of watching it the way I did instead of on a BD disc?

Can someone confirm that is the case and the subs will be there once I burn it? I’d appreciate it.

After seeing the overall crap that is Rogue One, it was nice to watch STAR WARS DE 2.5 again. Thanks yet again, Harmy. I sure hope that someday I can watch the DE Trilogy on BD with cases and artwork. Menus too. 😃

Thanks for the info! It all came back to me once you mentioned tsMuxer. When I upgraded to Windows 10, it got lost in translation. My ImgBurn is still with me and ready for the task. I don’t have a printer, or access to one, so I am trying to see if I can at least get the three covers and maybe some labels printed and sent to me, if anyone is up to it. I’ll probably end up with just 3 blue snap cases and call it a day. Especially when it comes to those boxes, people aren’t jumping at the chance to make more of them. Can’t blame them for that.

Since this is the thread getting the most attention lately…

I have some questions regarding how to turn the MKV files into Blu-ray Discs, as well as the artwork for putting in Blu-ray cases and perhaps the creation of the awesome box sets I’ve seen.

Please reply privately if you don’t mind. Thanks!

Hey Harmy, how’d you like to clean the dirt off of THAT? 😃

Will it be possible to have this corrected commentary on ROTJ: DE 3.0 (or whatever the next update number will be)?

Mom’s ancient CRTV was displaying a wavy picture and about to go out completely. I had a 25" monitor, so I let her borrow my 40" until we could get her a new one. I paid half, and hooked it up for her. Then, I was able to get mine back and dump the 25", thank the maker lol.

I finally got my 40" TV back and played the ROTJ: DE MKV on it.

Fucking WOW. Thanks again, Harmy!

Speaking of labels and such, is there a thread I might have missed for folks like myself that want boxset covers, labels, and all that jazz? I will gladly pay for shipping or materials or whatever. This set deserves to shine in our collections and the images of the homemade boxes are awesome!

Crap. MPC 64 with K-Lite has the same problem. If I advance forward, the picture sticks and only the audio continues. Now I’m really dying to know what this super secret is.

It’s a shame that even one prequel is going to be shown to those poor students, and I agree about the Rifftrax. I guess they are Satanic. Afterall, the stupid title crawl does state that “Evil is everywhere.” Although, in actuality, it was really only in one place, but whatever, it’s GL we’re talking about.

The prequels were abysmal, but their story was ambitious. I’ll be cleansing the palate with Return of the Jedi later, so don’t worry. Besides, Revenge of the Sith is incredibly Miltonic, so I have to teach it in a class on Milton and Star Wars.

EDIT: The special editions disappoint me more than the prequels ever could, because they worsened those films, especially ANH and ROTJ.

I just don’t believe “higher learning” and “prequel” should be in the same train of thought, but to each their own.

They just released a vinyl box set and according to Discogs.com Return of the Jedi has Lapti Nek and Ewok Celebration. http://www.amazon.ca/Star-Wars-Ultimate-Soundtrack-Vinyl/dp/B015NOT9AY/ref=sr_1_2_twi_lp__2?ie=UTF8&qid=1454401278&sr=8-2&keywords=john+williams+collection+star+wars

Incorrect. That version of Lapti Nek is from the 12" single, not the film version. As for Ewok Celebration, it is a version made for radio, but has most elements of the film version in it.

Correct. The film version was never released officially, was it?

No it wasn’t, along with some jam session music in the palace and the music played aboard the Sail Barge. The Baroque recital was released on the SE soundtrack for the first time, but that’s as far as it went, especially with that Jedi Rocks crap being introduced and released as a single.

And another quick fact. The movie version was not used for the MTV music video, either.

It is a shame that the movie version of Lapti Nek never made it on to any of the soundtracks, at least as a bonus. GL strikes again. It would have made the commentary problem easier to deal with, but I think we’ll live. 😃

Of course a shit-ton of overall quality would be lost, but ConvertXtoDVD will take an MKV then build a DVD structure and burn the DVD. This is NOT recommended for anyone wanting HD quality, but at least you’d have a DVD to watch until you can move up to BD.

Jason Wingreen passed away on Christmas day, which makes what you are doing all the more important, Harmy. I had to pop in TESB DE today just because I can. We know the true voice of Boba Fett!
