Why do people even bother downloading the AVCHD version if they don't know how to burn it? The MKV is higher quality and will play on any modern TV from a USB stick... surely people can work out how to do that!

 No it won't. Most things expect USB devices to be formatted as FAT32, and it has a 4GB file size limit.

 I recently purchased a 64GB flash drive for the sole purpose of sharing Harmy's work, and it was pre-formatted in FAT32. Why they do that these days is beyond me, but it was simple enough to just plug it in and format it in NTFS to do what I wanted to do.

I guess some of us never NTSC that GOUT is our PAL.

Simple enough. :) Thanks Feallan. I'll dig up MKVMerge and give it a whirl.

Since it is usually wise to do the opposite of what Nearsighted Scrappile says, I think Harmy should go into hiding.

 Did I say something to piss you off? I can't tell when people joke online, so I thought I'd ask.

Anyway,

About the sound "discrepancy", Is there a tutorial on how to make the changes permanently to Star Wars v.2.5 and The Empire Strikes Back v.2.0? My forté is audio mastering and preservation, so when it comes to HD video, I am still learning.

Well Harmy, a link to that "Star Wars George Lucas Doesn't Want You To See" article was on MSN for a while today! Dunno why they didn't give it a full 24 hour cycle, maybe they will later.

Okay folks, I understand the concern over Harmy "getting busted" with the publicity. To be honest, I simply do not think anything bad will happen to our resident Czech genius. Maybe, just maybe, this level of attention is something that these types of projects and preservations NEED. Let's bring this subject, since Star Wars is once again a hot topic to the uninitiated corners of worldwide media, to the FRONT. Counselors and group therapists always say to share your pain. Well, let's share ours. I highly doubt that any of this is going to cause a cease and desist order. Even if the Disney Empire, TCFHE, or Lucas himself tried to intervene in some way, it's just plain too late. The DEdamage is done.

So, I say let those articles keep popping up. If anything, it gives Harmy more initiative and purpose, and let's face it, the comment sections are fucking HILARIOUS to the point of wondering where the HELL these people come from.

When he damn well feels like it. LOL, seriously, I'd like to know that too. I'm still grabbing the AVCHD though to hold me over. If I remember correctly, I can just use MPC with the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack to play the files, as I am currently out of DL DVD's.

Thanks yet again Harmy! :)

By the way, it has already hit TPB.

Has anyone caught this article?

http://makingstarwars.net/2014/07/star-wars-iv-vi-converted-4k-16-bit-resolution/

I wonder what that means, and what versions were scanned. Hmmmm....

That makes for a longer wait, but if that's the way the cookie crumbles....

All I could find for authoring is Sony Vegas Pro 12.0 Build 367 for x64 systems. If Harmy or anyone needs me to go after it, just PM me.

If anyone has names of software they want to try for BD menus, please pass them my way and I'll have a looksie.

As it stands for me now, I'd be happy just to have that awesome animated menu with all of the English trimmings possible. I'd get a kick out of the other languages, but it's looking like the final BD, until further notice, is going to be very limited.

Damn shame. And no Harmy, I do not blame you for this. Just stating facts. :)

Which may be a long time at this rate with the software limitations.

I tried to build a menu and make my own BD. Let's just say that my Vanilla Coke has a new place to sit.

I like Ewoks too, with some fava beans and a nice chianti. :)

Thanks for sharing that, DrCrowTStarwars! Someobody's a Dr. Who, MST3K, and Star Wars fan! :)

I was only 5 when my folks took me to see it in 1977, but I am still flooded by the memories of the experience and your post brought them to the front of my mind again. My parents weren't divorced yet, my Dad was in awe like the rest of us (not an easy task), and the community feeling was just incredible. Just by the music, intent, and costumes, everyone knew that imposing all black character was the bad guy, and they booed and hissed at him before saying a word! All they heard was the breathing. It was all a form of magic that will never be experienced again, and Harmy's work is EASILY the closest to that original feeling I will ever get. I just can't put into any deserving words what the DE has accomplished for that 5 year old in me, who now gets to enjoy it at an adult level.

Very nice, chyron! They look great on my HD monitor.

Wow! PM sent!

I'm glad everything arrived for the build, Harmy!

Excellent Harmy!

There was a deleted scene I found on YouTube showing a model of a TOS era ship hanging in the room Admiral Marcus was in. Now it's gone.

Also, I don't know how complete it is or if it even has anything to do with what you guys are putting together here, but there is a collection of extras at TPB.

Damn I wish that I could take part in the donating! Harmy, what you have achieved is amazing and I feel obligated and duty-bound to help you. The problem is, I am so desperate for money myself right now that I can't. I'm talking "am I going to eat" and "how the hell am I going to move back home" kind of poor. I feel so helpless when I can't participate in something as clearly important as this. My PayPal was closed down, but if there is some way I can pitch in before you stop accepting donations, I will try my best.

Thank you again, Harmy! As well as everyone else that has helped.

I don't know if I would want the hassle that may occur with the enhanced commentary, but like Harmy, I would LOVE to get my hands on a folder full of all the other bonus materials. If such a beast exists, please PM me and let me know where to get it. If it's a torrent, I will seed the hell outta that mofo. Thanks!

I was hoping for a Christmas release too, but that's okay and understood, Harmy. I can at least turn the MKV into a BD and share it with friends and family that way!

I'm guessing the best way is tsMuxer?

I never noticed it until it was pointed out to me.

Never noticed what? Sorry, having some computer problems and I can't find the source for your comment, Harmy.
