Aww, man, I already burned them. :p Haha.

Stupid humans...

Just watched it. Very, very nice.

Man, I hate the new YouTube layout. It gets more and more annoying all the time. Your whole comment on the clip isn't even there!

Ah yes. Thanks, you drut wolley diputs...

Yarp.

Where are these mystical DL spots, anyway? All I see is BN spots.

B'oh. Well, if I really need someone else, I'll grab them. Otherwise, I'll probably hang on to him. I also have him in my other league, but he's easily replaceable there.

^Ditto. And why "since nothing else will be happening for a (h)while"? :(

My photo albums are set to private so you'd have to add me as a friend first. Just search for "ady adywan"

Thanks. :) Did you get my PM?

Man, I can't find the Facebook links. The one I went to doesn't seem to have any pics from the concert, and I don't know the others. I did a search here because someone (005?) listed them all a while back, but no dice. If someone could do that again, I'd be sure to bookmark them this time! ;)

Well said.

Or do you mean none of us would have been born? That's just weird.

Sure, that would help a lot if you sent copies of discs 1-3 to him.

Would you mind if I added the contents of disc 3 to disc 2? There's plenty of room.

You've been warned though, so if you still decide to put the time into downloading it and it irritates you, it's not my fault or Ripplin's or FE.org's.

Haha! Thanks, pally.

You want I should send a copy to Adywan? I can have it out tomorrow if you give me the go ahead.

Thanks for the report. One thing I was wondering about is if/how much everything was amplified. If a place is not too big, they wouldn't have to amplify much, right? Always nice to feel the power without the aid of speakers.

Hey, how come you don't have the Facebook page in your signature?

Yes, to Roccon you listen. ;) We all know you've put a lot of work into it. Perhaps me more than anyone. It's just that there were some weird vibes early on that some seem unwilling to forget, and nowadays, it's almost always technical details that can hold something back from its true, 100% potential. (especially at FE.org) I can almost guarantee that, even if there was a huge disclaimer beforehand explaining the situation, tons of people would still say 'what's up with the AOTC footage?' Remember the kerfuffle with the workprint version, and how hard we tried to make people understand? Well, some people, if they didn't know beforehand, would be turned off after downloading 7.67 GB and seeing a technical issue, even if it couldn't be helped.

Just trying to be realistic, not hurtful. I like your work and am impressed that your first edit is such an ambitious one! I just think about the last few years of my fanedit fandom and having watched dozens and dozens of other ones and thinking how they relate together, y'know? :)

^The bonus disc has "Renascent" trailers, the "Reborn" epilogue and trailer, and some poster images.

Thanks for the explanations, A-Man. I didn't know (or remember?) it had come up before. Dunno if it could've been the solution, but if so, I'd've bought an American copy. I could've bought it for you, had I known! (I would imagine they're pretty cheap on eBay) I can't believe you didn't save anything, though! :o You could've saved everything on the external hard drive (including the programs you need), yes/no? Always a good policy, just in case.

Having seen what has and hasn't been accepted at FE, I...don't know for sure with this one. I have to agree with Frink that most people won't be able to look away, y'know? I'm the type that, once I find something, I keep looking for it until it's gone. (which is why I don't have HDTV, because all I saw were flaws everywhere)

I've seen this issue to an extent in other fanedits before, and they were released anyway, so I'd almost like to send a copy to someone there (boon, I guess) and see what they think.

Since you're unable to fix it yourself, I wonder if an American or UK editor could make it so the framerate is consistent throughout? Seems plausible to me. IF that were possible, would you be willing to do it? Just throwing out an idea. No biggie. :p

Well, I've finished watching, and...

Good news: The bonus features disc is just fine.

Bad news: Neither the DL or .AVI of the movie can be released right now for technical reasons. (see my very last sentence, though, as it may help explain what I'm about to get into now... :p)

Basically, almost the entirety of the AOTC footage 'stutters.' It's as if 1 or 2 out of every 24 frames (can't tell exactly just looking at it) is being skipped, which isn't too noticeable when there is little movement, but as soon as things start moving (people walking, ships flying, etc...), it sticks out like a sore thumb. Very jerky.

Examples of how often this appears and how much time is involved:

0:01:40 to 0:03:44
0:28:12 to 0:39:46
0:54:35 to 1:08:30
1:17:48 to 1:18:21
1:19:05 to 1:19:19
1:20:05 to 1:21:03
1:38:06 to 1:44:20
2:02:02 to 2:03:26
2:12:43 to 2:20:47
2:25:33 to 2:27:11
2:51:08 to 2:52:58

(times approximate, as some scenes, like the first half of the arena fight, seemed ok, but stuff was moving so chaotically it was hard to tell)

This problem doesn't appear in the TPM or ANH:R footage, which tells me it's not a burn problem. I checked this 'stuttering' issue on my PS2, PS3 and computer, and it showed up on both the DL and .AVI versions in all instances. I watched this on a CRT TV and CRT monitor, but I don't think it makes a difference, especially as there was no problem with the ANH:R footage. Since this edit relies so heavily on AOTC, it's gonna have to be re-encoded or...something. (I dunno the technical stuff) I don't think it's a progressive scan issue or whatever (again, I dunno the technical stuff), but maybe you should check this out for yourself, Asteroid-Man, and see if you can see what I saw.

Sorry about this bad news, and I hope it can be fixed easily enough. If I haven't explained something right, or if you know specifically what's going on, let us know!

This movie used to be "nearly perfect" as well. Haha. ;)

Sorry to hear it, BarBar... (sounds strange using a funny username in such a serious situation)

Aww, what a mean example. ;)

That is so ridiculous. :p I like the Sandcrawler being swallowed.

Oh, Ady, did you get the big platinum-backstage-pass-play-with-the-models tickets for the concert?

Have fun, Ady. That's an order.

And Grievous then goes ahead and posts that stupid ollllllllld stormtrooper gif. Whatevas. :p

Anyway, uh...oh, I have to watch "Star Wars Renascent" for to with the potential of the uploading of it maybe soon-like soon. That has some ESB clips in it.

Yeah, Jdownloader is awesome. Wish it was available well before now. I hated babysitting Rapidshare downloads and losing 7-ish hours overnight, which were also the fastest download times.

That's why I said I'm first gonna watch it, then talk to them about download links. ;) The plan is for me to upload or send copies to someone, but only after I've verified that everything is buttoned up.

Don't worry, I've seen stuff at FE that shouldn't have gone up, too, and hope it doesn't happen again.

Got mine, but was gone all day. I'll watch it soon, then I'll be getting in touch with FE personnel about download links and such. Thanks, A-M. :)
