I'm sure this must be covered here but I'm not seeing it.  I want to burn AVCHD to a dual layer DVD to play on my PS3.  I've established that making a folder with the correct file structure and then burning it doesn't work.  Do I need different burning software to accomplish this?  Thanks.

This is wonderful, Oleo.  I'd even be happy without all the camera movements.  

Here it is without all the Ken Burns movement:

This is something I have actually been planning for years, I thought of doing it as an alernate video track for a release.

I have been collecting as many storyboard and art images as I can over the last 8 years, if anyone knows of any, please let me know. It takes a ridiculous amount to make something like this work.

 

I wish Lucasfilm would release a storyboard book with all the storyboards for each film, I would pay almost anything for something like that!

 

I think the ESB art is the best of all of them as well, thanks for putting this together an re-motivating me!

I know exactly what you mean.  I have never gotten my hands on as many storyboards as I would have liked to have for something like this.  I have been daydreaming about doing this with high resolution scans and rare sources forever, then this morning I took out what few books I already have, took photos with my phone and spent a little time editing the slide lengths to match the sound as best I could.  It's not the monument to SW art that I had been daydreaming about for years but it's what I could do in a day and I really hope it inspires you or anyone to at least do another scene. 

Hi everyone,

I just did a short film setting some ESB storyboards and concept art to sound from the finished film.  I have always loved the concept art for the Star Wars films and wanted to do full length fan films setting the art to the sound.  Unfortunately, I don’t have the time for that, but I did the first scene of ESB in the hopes that some other enterprising individuals would take up the effort and do their own scenes so that I might one day get to see the whole thing like this.  Anyway, it’s brief but I hope that some of you will like it.

Here’s a version of the same without Ken Burns camera movement:

I too need an invite to the spleen if someone would be so kind.

That's great.  It really takes me back.  

So far I have only downloaded ROTJ but it turned out great.  Jabba's palace is a lot sleazier with the Lapti Nek scene intact and the Sarlacc was always more terrifying without the beak.  Thanks for all your hard work.  It's great that I don't have to choose between the highest quality available and the most true to the original version anymore.  Great version.

Thanks for the reply Ady.  Love your work.  Unfortunately I am not able to run MultiAVCHD as I am using an older Mac.  At this point I actually wouldn't even be able to burn the DL disc with my hardware.  

To avoid this problem, I did a trade with someone for what was supposed to be an AVCHD disc but they just sent me the MKV file on a disc, which is pretty much a coaster to me until I can upgrade my hardware.

And so the begging resumes...Anyone interested in turning my coaster into a pair of AVCHD's, one for you and one for me?

I have Ewokgroomer EP6 as a .mkv file but I need to get it in AVHCD format and I lack the hardware to accomplish the task.  Is anyone willing to assist?

It'll always be Star Wars to me and that's also how it's known to at least 90% of the non-fan community.

I thought the PT was mostly a joyless bummer.  I wasn't initially enamored of the Clone Wars either but it has grown on me and is a lot better without the commercials.  I now think that Clone Wars is fun, albeit childish fun, which I find refreshing.  I agree that the animated aspect makes it an apples/oranges thing to the OT which is good.  I think George has finally found a way to make cheap episodic serial adventures in his universe and has the good sense to leave the heavy lifting to others.  I would love to see the same team tackle a few stories in the OT era.

Is anyone willing to PM me to do a B&P for the Ep6 AVHCD?  I'm still suffering without a dual layer burner.  Thanks.

Oops.  The Adywan Eps 4 and 5 are amazing but I half-knowingly strayed into OT wookiegroomer/ewokgroomer territory following the last few posts.  I'll find the appropriate thread and re-post there. 

I'm still suffering without a dual layer burner.  If anyone is willing to do B&P for Ep6, please PM me.  Thanks.

I think his reactions make dramatic sense. To a person who has only seen the original SW and is now seeing ESB for the first time (let's all try really hard to imagine that) it gives you the impression that Luke might actually pull this off.

Regarding Dooku's reaction to having both hands cut off vs. Luke's reaction in ESB: I would imagine that a screaming Dooku in that scene might have pushed the film into "R" rating territory.

There is an "i" out of place in "General Grievous."  I hope that won't be hard for you to fix.

I always thought that it was done to soften the fact that Luke doesn't get the girl as would have been the case in 99% of movies.  Had they gone with Ford's suggestion that Solo be killed off, I am sure Luke would have gotten the girl and there would be no mention of this siblings business.

I watched this in it's entirety this week, followed by the changes description feature and part of the score only feature and I just want to add my congratulations to Adywan on making the best version of the film since it hit theaters.  It's quite an achievement to improve on the already Oscar-winning editing.  This is the version that I will be watching when I want to see Star Wars in the future.  I can't wait for Empire Strikes Back and eventually Return of the Jedi.  My gratitude also goes out to Siliconmaster for the assist.  I'm going to be sending this out to a few friends as soon as I can get my hands on a DVD drive that will burn DL.

Now with the benefit of hindsight, weren't the prequels bound to suck on some level?  You're going to take a movie franchise that is revered by a generation and revive it with almost completely different characters and set it before the other films so that every meaningful aspect of its story outcome is already known by the audience.  You could still make that entertaining but it's going to depend on your success at creating interesting new characters (Lucas doesn't do characters well, he does archetypes well), making the refreshed characters like Yoda and Obi-Wan work and then making their journey to the forgone conclusion an interesting one.  But that's not all, you also have to stretch this tale out over three films, each of which has to have its own internal story arc that will satisfy the audience.  

I just think that was bound to be a let down for so many reasons.  Add to that the fact that Lucas was apparently writing the story one episode at a time and it comes out a bit of a mess where we basically have a new villain in each film, old characters grafted in for no apparent reason (the SW universe starts feeling a little claustrophobic when the same wookie, bounty hunter and hutt turn up at unconnected points in the story) and much time is spent on the boring details of Palpatine's deception.  Okay, we can see that the whole invasion of Naboo is just a set up to help Palpatine get into power, we already know that Amidala, Anakin and Kenobi will live and Qui Gon and Maul don't have any impact on the overall plot of the original trilogy, so where's the suspense?  Who even cares who wins that battle?

I don't actually hate the prequels, but I do think that they were pretty much doomed to suck at the idea stage of development.  

I am going from lurker to poster to ask if some kind person would please PM me about this DVD-9 (NTSC).  I am already the owner of the commercial DVD's, VHS and LD's.  Please accept my apologies for begging in my first post or if this request belongs elsewhere on the forum.

(Update: This request has been addressed.  Thanks!)
