I think the curvature issue was already fixed by Adywan, but the others look quite nice. I love the new engine coloring. And hey, Hoth has an atmosphere!
Damn. Those are amazing. The undestroyed trench shot is beautiful, and the others are just cool as hell. I have at least 4 or 5 people in my building who are waiting patiently (or not so patiently) for this edit. :D

Post the list once you're done, so we can all check to see if we're on it- that'll be an easy way of proof-reading it. Good luck. :)
Revenge of the Sith would have to be red- Attack of the Clones purple for Windu, and Phantom Menace... Blue again?
Woah. Nice comparison shots of the wampa suits. Also, it's always nice when you take the time to clarify on everyone's posts. Thanks for the effort. :) Hope the next batch of fur turns out better.
Sony DL DVDs work for me- that's what I use.
^Lol. It would be awesome if we happened to be going to the same school, but alas it is not so. I'm going to Fairleigh Dickinson University in NJ, which has a mixed liberal arts/film program. I wanted a good balance of both. As a result, the hard core film classes don't really gear up for a year or two, although FDU incorporates them earlier than most do.
And out of guilt for offtopicness, yay Revisited. Ok, guilt gone. :P

Good luck. It's a lot of fun, but can take a while to gain speed depending on the college/university.
ChainsawAsh said:Seconded. I tend to buy TV show DVDs, rip them to mp4 files on my external hard drive, then sell the DVDs back to Reckless Records or FYE. I started using the iPod preset, but could always notice compression errors. So now, to avoid that, I use an insanely high bitrate that ends up making an 44-minute episode around 1.5 gigs. That's a lot of HD space for 4 seasons of BSG and Lost, 9 seasons of The X Files, 2 seasons of Dexter, 3 of It's Always Sunny, 5 of Futurama, 7 of The Simpsons ... the list goes on (and my free space shrinks). It's worth it to me, though. Which is why it really bugs me that most fan edits are only available in overly-compressed DVD-5 copies, and why I'm very happy that Ady takes us sharp-eyed folk into account.
Haha. I do similar stuff, but I have to balance hard drive space with quality. I am definitely glad that Ady takes the time to give us the best quality options. I love Magfan's edits, but the quality always makes me want to cry. Revisited is beautiful all around.

The only difference between -5 and -9 is a couple of bonus features and the better video quality on the 9 for super-size TV's. If your set is under 50", the video quality difference is negligble.
Or if you're a film major, like myself. ;) I can spot quality differences from a mile away. Everyone else should be fine though.
Nope. The best quality you could hope for using normal DVD technology would be DVD-9 quality. However, I believe there is a way to burn a blu-ray image onto a DVD-9 disk which plays on BD players. Ady's 1080p versions of the Saga use that method, I think. That would be the only way to keep the quality short of the actual file or a real Blu-ray disk.
It will be in both DVD and 720p formats.
The DVD-9 is full quality, while the DVD-5 is compressed. On a normal television it may be hard to see the difference, but display it on an HDTV and it will be more conspicuous. I'd recommend the DVD-9 for that and the bonus features, which are all very interesting.
*hug* :D
Wow. I am extremely impressed. I love how the x-ing gets shot as they try to escape, and the whole thing is just beautiful to look at.
If you mean the shot of them on the long walkway, BEFORE they get to the gantry, they are definitely there, but also definitely faint. If you look at it from an angle (using the lcd angle to make them brighter), you can see them on mine, but normally it is very hard to make them out.
I am constantly amazed by the work you put out, Ady. How did you get the video information that the glow concealed? Vader's helmet was nearly invisible in that shot, but in your version it is clear as day. I also love the new ion cannon shot- the clarity is breathtaking.
In literal terms, wasn't the 2D Clone Wars series canon? The fact that it sets up the beginning of III seems like it should be.
It was indeed. Take a look at the 3rd paragraph.
dumb_kid said:Also wouldn't the trees themselves be a lot smaller looking considering they'd be a least 100ft away from where Luke is standing? They all look like they are only 10ft away and make the xwing look like a toy. I say just keep the fog as is. It makes the body of water seems big, mysterious, and dangerous. With the trees it looks like pond.
I agree with the trees, but as for the water- I thought it was a big pond. Lol.
Haha. Wow... somebody in the continuity department fails miserably.
Did you change that? Or is that an actual mistake in the movie?
Nice.
doubleofive said:I'd love to see a step by step on how he does some things, but I've studied his single Photoshop file from ANHR's Ronto removal and I still don't know how he did it!
Same. That thing never ceased to amaze me. Even more insane is the fact that he had to do that with moving clips. o_o I can't even imagine.
Wow- guess the buildings were easier to fix than I thought. Nice work.
Entropy Ink said:It looks much better, Ady, but any chance you could raise the height of the buildings behind the rail along with the railing? The skyline and exposed windows of the central building in the 2004 version look better.
Hmm- interesting point, I hadn't noticed that before. It looks like Ady already moved/stretched the matte to the left- I wonder if he can also change it so we can still see the buildings. Either way, no big issue for me.
