Puggo - Jar Jar's Yoda

Quick technical question...

When the user presses the "audio" button on his DVD remote, it cycles through the various audio tracks.  When it does that, the "name" of each audio track generally appears briefly on the screen.

Does anyone know how to set these names in DVD-Lab Pro?  Right now, they all say the same thing (Dolby stereo).  It would be nice if I could get the names to match what they are in PSB (one is mono, one is stereo).  Or is it even possible?  I've been digging through the DVD-Lab help without success.

BTW, I have DVD-Lab Pro 2.

thanks!

Sorry, I had the mistaken impression from an earlier post that the official AVCHD was done.  Good luck on your exams, that comes first!

Has anyone put the official AVCHD up on rapidshare?

I'm hoping that now that Harmy's edition 2 is out, it will gradually go "viral".  That could change everyting.

The reviewers recommended 5 changes, one of which was a fix.  I did 4 of them (the 5th one I'm not going to do), and it's re-encoding now.  I will be out of town the entire labor day weekend, but anticipate having the whole thing done in the middle of the week following Labor day.

Syncing this should be really easy, because they are from the same source and playback is on the same machine.

It is being reviewed by three people right now.  I've gotten some feedback already, and am expecting some more.  After that, I'll make some fixes.  More news will be posted soon.

If you ask me, I think we have every right to think George Lucas is being an ass for withholding the original trilogy, but beyond that it's all subjective and every one has the right to like what they want without decent from others.

I don't care what people like.  But I resent people who support the suppression of film history, as I would resent people who support burning books.  I see no reason to respect that, because it goes beyond personal preference - it is denying others' access to history.

Now, if someone preferred the prequels and the SE, but also supported restoring the originals on principle, I would respect that person immensely despite our differences in aesthetic preference.

This is a slight step above the 16mm work being done. 

Replace "slight" with "major".

Distributing copyrighted materials is not tolerated.  I will need to find out the addresses of people who would be willing to seed or distribute the disk, so that I know who NOT to accidentally send the disk to.  Thank you for your understanding.

Here's what's on it:

PSB: reel 1,2,3
"making of"
bonus - 16mm SE preview
sound options: original 16mm, Mallwalker LD rip

The menu looks pretty much the same as PG, but with different scenes, of course.

Is there an HD version of CPY floating around out there?

The first test of the entire DVD is done; next I'll be having a few people review the finished disk for bugs.

Msycamore just turned me on to this thread.  Impressive!

Awesome news and I now have something to look forward to this week!

EDIT: Not sure what's going on with the html code being added?

Will the AVCHD fit on a dual layer DVD?

I'm still experimenting -- when I really get stuck I'll post questions.

I don't know about DVD-Lab, but in DVDLabPro it's pretty easy :-)

I'm using the pro version. 

Menu video is done.  Re-encoded two of the reels, and playing with the build of the disc.  First test had some glitches.  And haven't completely figured out how to set up a menu in DVD-Lab so that the user can select between audio options. I thought I had it figured out, but it didn't work.  Still playing with it.

"Making of" doc done.  4:20

Now working on the menu.

Finished the video for the "making of".  Hope to add voiceover tomorrow.

I'm not sure how well preserved are the colours on Puggo's 16mm prints of ESB and ROTJ but those could in theory serve as a reference.

They are vibrant and not faded at all.  But as with all telecines, capturing the color accurately and completely is also a challenge.  What I can say is that PSB will capture the breadth of color sufficiently so that someone could use it as a reference, adjusting for variations in white balance and hue.

Have you reviewed the existing preservation efforts in the preservations thread?  DarkJedi's theatrical versions sound like what you're hoping to do.  There is also Harmy's reconstruction.

I prefer and use Vegas.  Also use Avisynth/Virtualdub for specific filters.
