Sorry to ask, but, available where?

http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Star-Wars-Despecialized-Editions-Custom-Bluray-Set/id/49995

I’ll have it up on mega in a few hours. If people are interested, pm me. Should be a couple hours (torrent still downloading).
If Williarob or mods or anyone don’t want me sharing mega link over pm, let me know and I won’t.

Don’t want to take this off topic, but I just searched what VHS “baking” is. It looks like it actually means baking!
That’s awesome.

I feel like there’s suddenly a hole in my spleen.

I didn’t see it in there, maybe I missed it, but what size are they? …

SW 2.7 ISO is ~23gb.

Is there something that was changed in comparison to the Mega upload some weeks ago?

Subtitles version 9.2 (9.1 was in mega link).

Hah. Just showing that the skinny-head post from 4 years ago looks like what they ended up doing in rebels.

What about those of us who have triangular tablets?

You can do it towne

Sounds like a fan edit is needed to make this happen 😃.

What do you type in your phone so often that it’s learned to autocorrect to ‘shits’ 😃.

I wouldn’t mind the link as well. Will make seeding even faster later 😃.

…How many of us tried to use the force to grab a toy when we were little kids? Unfortunately, the force doesn’t exist in the real world. 😛

Uh…ya, when we were little kids. That’s the last time I tried it too…

OK thanks.

FYI, the NFO of that wmv starts:

The Empire Strikes Back - Grindhouse (version 2-DCP sourced)

Welcome to our second official release, the 35mm version
of The Empire Strikes Back.

---

January 2015,

As a thank you to the OT community, and our fans, we are releasing another early version of the movie. We hope…

So I’m not sure exactly what this is, but it says version 2 (whereas the previous grindhouse was called “v1” within the filename I think).

VLC doesn’t seem to be playing nicely with this for me (it does not like Blu-rays with menus). I did my testing on PS4, PS3, PowerDVD, and Total Media Theatre. Your vlc may be set up better than mine, though.

You can definitely watch the m2ts files in VLC. But everything up to and through the crawl is a separate m2ts. So you’d need to click the next one when it’s done, or make a playlist or something. Or wait for an MKV. 😃

So I just tried it (even though it’s still downloading 😃).
I loaded VLC and did “open folder” and selected the whole thing. It queued up a playlist on it’s own, and added both crawl’s (0000, then 0001, then 0002 m2ts files).
Anyway, that’s good enough for me. I’m sure I could set it up to skip one or whatever. I don’t know which one I’d prefer. I didn’t even know there were 2 of them until this thread (ya, I’m a noob when it comes to this original trilogy stuff!).

Thanks again.

edit (sorry, too much of a noob to say Jedit): Those using VLC. There is another (way).
Media->open disc. Then in the dialog that opens, pick Blu-ray radio button (keep the “no menu” checkbox checked), then browse, then go to and select the main “Harmy’s Star Wars Despecialized 2.6 (Towne32)” folder, then click “Select Folder” button.
It then more seamlessly plays just 1 crawl and then the main film (without closing the window and opening it again like it does with playlists).
In this case it chooses the “A NEW HOPE” crawl. I’m guessing if I just rename the m2ts file to something else it would skip it and play the other file.
Ok tried it. Just renaming the 0000.m2ts file to something doesn’t work. But if you rename the 0001.m2ts file to 0000.m2ts (and name the original 0000.m2ts to something else first), then it works.

Thanks a lot for this.

I’m pretty sure I know the answer, but I want to confirm before I delete.
This release basically deprecates both “Star Wars Harmy 2.5 Recolorized” and “DeEdv2.5”, yes?

I guess the other 2 I mentioned are MKV’s and this one is BD, but I think I can play the BD format just as well with VLC or whatever media player, so I should be fine on that front.

Is there any copy of ROTJ v.2.5 that is not 19.79 GB? like a compressed one? or in MPEG-4.

The thread title says there’s a avchd dvd9 version (which I suppose would fit on a dual layer DVD, so maybe 9gigs-ish) and an NTSC dvd5 version (which I assume fits on a single layer ~4.7gb DVD).

(Check your PM)

…When I attempt to open the file ‘frd.jar’ a pop up says “frd.jar is damaged and cannot be opened” bearing in mind I’m using a Mac.

I’m not a Mac expert. At all.
Maybe your java isn’t installed properly? And even if it is, maybe your system doesn’t associate ‘jar’ files to open with java correctly?
Can you open a shell prompt, go to the folder with the jar, and type something like
java -jar frd.jar

?

Well maybe it would help you if you would select a different mode, e.g. View->Tree and you would get the required information without demuxing the file 😃

Hah, oops.
You know the part where I said “I couldn’t figure it out with MediaInfo…”, I really should have said “I didn’t bother trying to figure it out…”.

So with tree view, there is more info.
Shows same “nominal” bit rate of 13.5 for video. But claims the Max is 40.

(A slightly old version of) MediaInfo says 21.0 Mbps for “Overall bit rate”. Not sure why it doesn’t specify the video-specific bit rate.

edit:
Since I couldnt figure out how to show it right in MediaInfo, I extracted video (and audio) track(s) separately, and put them in MediaInfo.
Video alone seems to be 13.5 Mbps.

Hope this helps.

Wolfcarnage, if you are on myspleen, just go there and search ps78 and you’ll find it. And there’s a few seeders so you should be able to get it.
If you don’t have an account, I could probably get it and put it somewhere you can have access…

In any case, I’m glad you posted that question. I’m relatively new to this site and your post caused me to notice this thread. Ended up reading the whole 19 pages (though glossed over a lot of the technical posts as its all way over my head). Anyway, it was a really cool read. And so much hard work by AntcuFaalb.

Anyway, I don’t think I’d get it to watch it. As I said, its kinda out of my realm of understanding, and I’m too much of a noob to appreciate it like many others have in this thread.

I’m more interested to know, was this used to help with other versions of releases (like Harmy’s, etc). There was talk in the thread that the colours (and maybe other things?) can be used as a reference for other projects, did that end up happening?

Thanks.

Oops, quick edit of this post, just to note this is for the new ROTJ 2.5 MKV.

Hey. I noticed something very small and basically inconsequential.
The video is not really affected. Let me explain.

Basically, I noticed at the end, after the main end credits end (at 2:11:40), the time bar jumps to 2:11:45 instantaneously, then changes directly to 2:13:20 (the full length of the video) for the duration of the extra despecialization-specific credits.
The only (very minor) negative impact i noticed with this, is during that time I can no longer skip ahead or back as I normally could – if I try, it (usually) just jumps to the end.
That and I guess I cant see exactly what time point I’m at for the final couple of minutes.

So maybe somehow the appending of that final part of the video was done differently?

I noticed this, by the way, using VLC 2.1.5 on Windows 7. I have not tried it on any other player.

Just to show you, the first pic is when its working fine, just before 2:11:40.

Then I see it go to 2:11:40, then 2:11:45, then immediately to:

Thanks for the work. And sorry if this is a stupid bug report.
