We had a bad power outage and my remote hard-drive has been down for almost 4-5 days now - I should be getting back home tonight and I will be deleting all the DVD's of the HD. - I will no longer be seeding any of my OLD torrents nor will I have the ability to do so as I will be deleting the files for good of that HD. And as a new deal I will also drop my seeding ONCE there is at least 3 other seeders - SO It will be upto the participators/downloaders from now on to keep these torrents going.

I would like to thank those of you that have been helping seed my old files - DarthOsor - Your AWESOME!!!!

Get your resourceful-yet-lazy self on over to the usual torrent site--
the one which tracks all of Blaksvn's torrents, and is named after a somewhat obscure body part.

There you'll find all three ISOMIX torrents.


And don't forget to donate to MySpleen.net


MySpleen.net is named after a scene in an INVADER ZIM episode "Nano-Zim"

Zim: I've been flying ships since before you were born, sad little Earth monkey!

Zim laughs as he skids along Dib's spleen, tearing it up. Dib screams.

Dib: My spleen!

Zim: Now I'm in your trachea, Dib. Your brain is so close I can smell it.

Info Wanted: a Pre-ANH edit of Ep IV?

MagnoliaFan did a PRE-ANH DVD version - The one that I have is a PROTO-TYPE and is not the final version (I've had this almost half a year now) - It's really cool as it has a restored title crawl.

I know that this was only a tester disc and a few members here have copies of it. LAST I heard and discussed with MagnoliaFan he was planning a DUAL-LAYER seemless branched version... We'll just have to wait and see

General response to my surprise torrent -

#1 - OKAY - SOME of you here at originaltrilogy.com members MAY have it and so do my personal friends - for those few that do have it already, sorry for the surprise DL but your numbers are so VERY small and I did this for those that do not have it) This DVD has NEVER been seen before on the internet in a downloadable form (nor has a VCD/SVCD or AVI of it ) but reviews have been seen... This movie has been around for a few years now BUT not in this format. This is not a clip disc or the Holiday Special .

- Like all my torrents; I'm the first one to bring this to the internet for download and I suspect that this one will spread like WILDFIRE!

#2 - It's like a Christmas surprise* gift* - You're not to know what it is until you open it. - AND like a real gift, YOU MAY not like it (doubtful for any TRUE Star Wars fan!!) but this is my idea, my torrent, my release and I posted this for the true believers and Star Wars fans.

- SURE someone may (and this WILL happen!) un-rar it and redisto it with just the VIDEO_TS and that would be fine but rest assured once you see what it is your gonna kick youself for not getting it now in this form.

#3 - It would seem that no matter what I do someone will complain - ANYWAY I will NO LONGER respond to those who complain about my releases as there are WAY TOO many fans of my torrents!

- Word to the faithful...

Darksir........

It's the "Look" second version. I found it for $7 per disc at the lowest price but that was a few years ago - I've even seen this set hit $300 on eBay!

Star Wars: The Original Trilogy - The Second LOOK Bootleg Version - NUKED*
- DVD and DVDr versions are readily found

http://home.comcast.net/~newmexicoufo/Menu_LOOK_2nd_version.jpg

This was the most common version on eBay auctions in the summer and fall of 2001. These are the original versions of the movies (not the 1997 Special Edition). At one time, I heard reports that these were taken from Asian Video-CD's. In fact, they were taken from the 1995 LaserDisc releases; the Video-CD's were presented in pan-and-scan only and in even poorer video quality than found on these bootlegs. They include decent static menus, with a choice of audio track (several languages), the ability to turn off subtitles, access to chapters, and a featurette of some sort on each disc. As with some of the other bootlegs, the time display on all three discs does not work. Chapter stops are present, but skipping forward during the movie jumps to title 2 (the featurette) rather than the next chapter. This occurred on both my Panasonic A310 and my Toshiba SD-1600. The bit rate appears to stay around 2.0 to 2.5 Mbps in most areas, although it did increase to closer to 5 Mbps near the end of Jedi.

Video quality was somewhat poor when using my Panasonic DVD-A310 to the Mitsubishi TV. In some cases, parts of the image would appear to "twitch" (digital artifacts and "noise"). One case was near the end of Jedi, when the Super Star Destroyer rolled to port and crashed into the Death Star. The smooth outer areas of the upper hull seemed to crawl during that sequence. As with Version A, there was a noticeable deterioration when using component video (SD-1600 to Toshiba 20"); similar blockiness and severe artifacting, although perhaps not as severe as with Version A. Some sections (oddly, those with higher bit rates, which may be a coincidence) avoided the artifacting but displayed severe display problems of other sorts, such as horizontal bars of color scrolling across the screen. I also took a look at one of the discs on a computer DVD drive, and found that the video in that case suffered severe problems with artifacts and some sort of interlacing.

The liner notes for Empire and Jedi are fairly reasonable. A New Hope is a bit more interesting. The front cover includes E-Wing fighters at the bottom (these may not look familiar, because they never appear in the movies; they were introduced as new fighters in the Dark Horse comic book series "Dark Empire", set about four years after the end of Return of the Jedi). The back cover describes the disc as the "complete revised Star Wars trilogy comprising the Special Edition of Star Wars" even though it is not the SE version. The back also includes pictures of Han in carbonite, AT-AT walkers on Hoth, Jabba, and a group of Naboo troopers, even though none of these appear in the movie. The copyright is also listed as 1997 (the year the Special Edition was released) rather than 1977; Empire and Jedi use the years the movies were released, which is more accurate. A New Hope also tosses in the note that the disc is "Sony Playstation 2 compatible," which has also been done on some "real" DVD releases. Lastly, the disc itself for A New Hope says "Special Edition."

Neat - update to the cover - I'm sure others will also like it. I did toy with the idea of a logo but after I did a similar front but I like the "TV Guide" teaser style I ended up with.. The logo makes the front look a bit busy with the mini synopsis and cast listing. BUT it is a cool update!

If you email it to me in Hi-Rez I'll add it to my Covers Collection (new torrent coming in the new year!) - Add your forum name in the email and I will mod the cover a bit more to personalize it for you
