But DrDre...

Surely this is how it looks?

Hi Schorman, the link you provided is full bold not demi bold and there isn't a demi bold Adobe one on the site.

But yes the Adobe font does look more accurate.

I hope this doesn't apply to my team! ;)

Well, I am sure a team could take the scans and make it look just like the correct lower image :)

Surely what you meant to say was "LFL release quality (for territories outside of USA)". ;)

BTW great work & honestly wish you all the best with move and everything mate. :)

You should know while many people enjoy the good work that you do for star wars, that nobody takes you as a person seriously and everybody is annoyed at the way you post.  By the way, this is a thread for showing how a supposed team account is posting outside of their threads, and you've posted in it, and the irony is so delicious.  

You can hardly expect to create a thread calling out a member and then expect them NOT to post in it though!

Hi schorman it's in the pastebin link I posted:

sub_size=86

sub_width=32

sub_pos=Default(sub_pos,636)

sub_spc=-3

subtitle(subttext,-1,sub_pos,0,subtitlelength-1,"ITC Franklin Gothic Demi",sub_size,$FFFFFF,$FFFFFFFF,8,sub_spc,0,sub_width)

None of the ITC Franklin Gothic fonts I've seen are completely perfect to the variation used by LFL. According to Erik Pancakes:

According to Starwars.com back when TPM was in post-production, they used

ITC Franklin Gothic Demi Bold, 69 point with -30 tracking

for Episode I.

...Yeah, they made an actual font announcement. I know.

So according to that information I've used exactly the font they claimed to use, it isn't a "condensed" variant I can confirm that. It's just ITC Frank Goth Demi that was digitised by another company (perhaps LFL themselves).

Note how close my Subtitle looks to the AOTC HDTV:

If you flip between them you can see the subtle differences more clearly (heights of the t's, angles on the S & e letter ends, width of the narrow points) but at a glance they look nearly identical.

What! It doesn't look like this?

Not even - he dropped everything! LOL

CG Yoda is in one short shot in the original TPM - when he walks over to Obi-Wan and says "confer on you the level of Jedi Knight the council does".

Oops sorry skippy, I guess us droids get distracted from whome we should be addressing when we see each other!

mysterydroid I've sent you a PM. The script is already complete, the just individual vertical placement is left to do - at the moment it's close enough, but if you look at the VCD you will notice that the vertical placement changes slightly between successive subtitles even though one would think it shouldn't!

The drop shadow goes straight down and not to the left as it did in the OT. Although some VCD scenes make it look like it goes to the left others make it clear it goes straight down:

Hi mysteryman, here's the direct link to the script (in the link skippy posted):http://pastebin.com/EQuXqWVW

I am intending to match the vertical position for each individual sub eventually, but you could easily have a go at that yourself for your version... you just change the sub_pos setting when calling it. Here's the calling function in its current version:http://pastebin.com/REg9TZvv

I believe it is LD synced but with the first 2393 frames purged like this:

trim(2392,0)

So you should be able to call it like this without needing to change any of the frame numbers (after you've made it 1080p):

trim(0,2391) ++ trim(2392,0).AddSubtitles()

I have just put the torrent on Myspleen.

Yes the '82 transfer is much better, but it's in CLV format on 2 sides whereas the THX is in CAV format on 4 sides. So the video bandwidth is much lower and although the colours in the source transfer are really nice they are plagued with far more noise than they could have been if more video bandwidth had been used on the LD.

Well there is always this one:

Ray you realise you can't always blame the artist, the artist has to create what the client wants. It would be inconsistent to have the original emperor for instance in that painting. Leia doesn't really do much in the original (besides ensure the plans get to the rebels) so it's not surprising he uses a more active Leia from Empire in the SW side. It is intended to split into three of course which is why there are 3 areas for movie names, but it's also intended to be a one piece artwork.

I have put a torrent on MySpleen (and it’s free-leech!) that contains 10 rips of KDST movies from LD and VHS sources. There are 3x Krieg der Sterne rips, 5x Das Imperium schlägt zurück rips (2 with the torture scene censored and 3 without), 2x Die Rückkehr der Jedi-Ritter rips.

If anyone is interested in syncing other audios to these rips please contact me. I am willing to recompress any or all of the rips to managable sizes for audio gurus. I would be very interested in having English and other language audios to go with this collection, personally I’d prefer period-audio but that’s up to any audio gurus out there. I will also make sure the audios are available for download on Myspleen.

Below are screencaps - all have been cropped and vertically resized to a 1:1 pixel aspect ratio (ie. 720x405), and saved as JPEGs. If you want the uncropped/unresized PNG files you can find the download links below each image set. Or better yet hop onto myspleen and download the full rips!

See people it can be worse than GOUT!

Sorry for the double-post, but also you can check if your file is corrupt by checking the checksums. You  can use a plug-in called HashCheck on a Windows computer - or search google for linux/mac programs. That will save you downloading the whole file again if you don't need to. It doesn't matter if the file is renamed the checksums will remain the same (but they will change if you re-mux it in the new file as per my previous post).

A torrent automatically checks the hashes of the pieces to ensure you don't get a corrupt file.

Here are the checksums using hashcheck:

Turtle33, I recommend installing a media server on your laptop (or PC) and streaming it to your TV (through a USB cable). With a media server you can use the MKV or the MT2S file from the AVCHD.

If the MKV file is pausing it could be that the bitrate is too high. You can download a program called mkvtoolnix, open mkvtoolnix gui, drag the MKV file into it and deselect all the audio streams you don't need. It's up to you which ones to keep, but get rid of all the dubs you don't need and the commentary tracks and then any of the English ones you don't need (for example you could just keep the three DTS-HD tracks). Make sure you don't deslect the video or the chapters. Select the output filename and click on "start muxing".

Here's Empire:

I've spent extensive time on this looking at those, it appears that the larger files on RUtracker were actually completed with direct instructions from Wookiegroomer, so can be assumed to be near identical to his releases, though with different initial encodes, so both are generation two sources derived from the two initial broadcast releases.

Actually now I think about it I remember specifically looking through all those files and more on rutracker a year or so ago.

1993 Silver Screen Collection (German). It has the shrinking ratio on all three films (although not nearly as bad on the third one), and the transfer is pretty ordinary when compared to the THX.

me and the team took a photo:

And if you think that's impressive wait until you see the photo we took with THE r2d2!

-Team V

Poita I honestly don't know what that is. Deleted scene from SW??

What about this version?

(recalled)

There's a torrent 11.5 GB in size that has a slightly different video transfer (although it looks to be about the same quality as the schorman version), it's also the DVD cut. It also claims to be the same German broadcast as the 34GB torrent. So I was wrong it is different to the cap that schorman used.

Here's a screenshot.
