Why are you using the short version of the Fox Fanfare, or rather an edit of the Cinemascope version?  And the SE music from Jabba's Palace?  I'm guessing this isn't a restoration of the original then.  I'm still interested in hearing your final result for The Emperor Arrives.

I am (VERY SLOWLY) downloading the covers and wanted to ask, are they already at the proper size for a printer to produce them for a BD case?  Or, will they need to be resized?

I didn't do any resizing and they fit the BD case perfectly.

Thanks for the reply.  Did you just open the images (like with Image Viewer or the like) and print, or did you take them into a certain program, like for disc labeling and such?

I've always wanted to cobble together a film-accurate version of The Emperor Arrives, including the bit at the end from The Emperor's Throne Room, but I never got around to doing it.  I like what I hear so far!

That was not my intent and I apologize.  I in no way feel I am entitled to anything.  I was under the impression that the MKV wasn't going to get anymore attention, but now it is cleared up and I am aware that h_h is on the case.  I really didn't want to have to download the AVCHD so I was concerned.  So let's all please stop with the swipes at each other, and resume regular programming.

Sorry for the drama.  Back on topic!

Thanks for the instructions, bilditup1.  Getting a warning for being concerned about the quality is ridiculous, but it is what it is.  I've never received one at any forum I have ever visited before.  And I am the one that is told to chill!

No shit, Sherlock.  I am just venting my concern because it was stated that no new MKV files were going to be made by Harmy.  I see now that h_h is going to do the fix himself.  So, I patiently await the new information on the fix.

Take it easy with the tone of your posts. Consider this your first warning. Please review the very simple rules:

OK, so, the AVCHD will get a reupload once I mux it with the new tracks. The MKV won't!!! I'm just gonna add the info into the nfo and that's that. I'll make sure all audio is OK in the BD release.

So there will be no audio fixes for the MKV?  Isn't the AVCHD at a lower bitrate, making whatever fixes applied to it not as high in quality as the MKV?

This is going to get beyond frustrating before it's all over with.  Can someone just please confirm if the MKV is going to be fixed or not, and how to obtain the fix?

Thanks.

Lol dude, chill out.

hairy_hen (two pages ago) said that he'll be re-releasing the 640kbps AC3 as well.

You can use either the 640kbps AC3 or the 448kbps AC3 with the already-released MKV; you just have to remux it yourself - because, as Harmy said in the above quote, he won't be remuxing the MKV - or else use the dub functionality in Media Player Classic.

In any case, hairy has also said that the issues are far less pronounced with the 640kbps AC3 originally released on the mkv:

Outside of the first 30 secs of it (the Fox Fanfare), I didn't notice any issues with it on my surround system, anyway.

I'll "chill out" once I know the situation is resolved.  I hope there will be instructions and links to any programs we might need when the fixed audio is available.

Then maybe WAV?  It would be a pity if it were only mp3.

I'm always down for a new attempt at this score.  Thanks for committing to it!  I'm an audio guy myself, and I love bringing vinyl and other things into digital.  It'll be interesting to hear what you've got for sure.  Is this going to be FLAC?

Damn.  Is there a particular audio track(s) that I need to download for the MKV?  Do the instructions for the sync fix apply to it?

Frustrating as hell.

Wow, still no answer so I'll try again.

Is the MKV not effected by this revelation about the sound on the AVCHD?  Or, does the MKV have to also be remuxed with a fix?

So the MKV is fine and does not need to have any audio fixes (aside from the sync that was resolved), and this only effects the AVCHD?

Looks like everyone has the AVCHD handled then, so I will forgo downloading it and making torrents.

In my experience, with my Pioneer BDR-206D BD burner and Verbatim BD-R LTH (Low To High) Type media, I have not burned one coaster yet.

While I don't need the AVCHD, I offer my light-speed connection to help get it out there when it's ready, Harmy.  I will then post to TPB, 1337x, and MS if someone doesn't beat me to it.

I showed this to a couple friends on the 40" HDTV with THX-certified speakers and subwoofer.  They were thoroughly impressed, and one of them went and brought their external drive so they could have it.

Although everything is digital and HD, it took us back to the 1977 experience, without blatantly exposing the limitations of the cinema experience back then.

I think that is what 2.0 is all about, and my hat's off to you, Harmy!

BTW that JSC shot of the speeder looks far better than I could have imagined-great job!

Huh?  What's JSC?

I really appreciate how quickly the fixes were addressed for the audio sync, but for those of us that have the first version and have no clue how to fix it, is there a new copy of the whole shebang, fixed, for us to download?

Does anyone know how Chewtobacca is converting this to DVD5?  It might be faster for me to convert it myself than to download it.  I just tried AVS2DVD and HCENC kept crashing.

The easiest way would be to use ConvertXtoDVD.  Depending on processing speed, you can have a DVD5 ready to play in under an hour.

It shouldn't be since I removed the pages for them and of course stopped seeding them.  Even if the swarm is still going, it is most likely incomplete and the people will get the clue and seek out the new ones.

I stand corrected.  You're right.

I have checked all of the audio tracks and they are all in sync here.  The sync issues are DEFINITELY a result of the download not being completed.

OMG I am so sorry I forgot!
