I don’t see how mkv vs mp4 would make a difference. MKVs are just containers for other formats, which could be using the same (or probably better) compression algorithm as an mp4
Agree. Just that Benjjedi had complained about 2 things. File size and mkv. So I was providing alternatives for both 😃.
Hey, sorry to be a bother and I’m not sure where else to ask about this, but does anybody have an mp4/MPEG file of TESB DE v2.0? I don’t need it in any other format like MKV (too big), I’ll just be happy with the mp4 version, like I said. I’ve already got the original SW and ROTJ despecialized as mp4s; Empire is the only one I need. So if anybody has said DE as an mp4, please respond or even PM me ASAP.
Handuet’s guide from the first post has 3 versions for ESB DE. They are labeled “MKV”, “AVCHD”, and “NTSC DVD5”.
I don’t remember the exact file format/extension for each of the files. But in terms of “too big”, I think from the 3 options:
MKV: 20gb
AVCHD: 8gb
DVD5: 4.2gb
Maybe you could grab the AVCHD.
It might also be “mkv”, which shouldn’t really matter. But if it does you can convert it to mp4 easily without re-encoding using ffmpeg (and probably other tools).
Something like
ffmpeg -i original-avchd-input-file.mkv -c copy new-mp4-output-avchd-file.mp4
I would like to point out that many Blu-ray players hooked up to HDTV’s will not play video files encoded in H265 (my 4K Blu-ray player won’t, even though it’s a new model from only two years ago), so if you are going to use H265 at some point, please also make versions of the V3.1 MKV despecialized Return of the Jedi (and V3.0 of the first two films of the trilogy) encoded in H264 for compatibility with all Blu-ray players. Thanks for all the efforts, V3.0 looks great, Harmy! =) Also, thanks to those who worked hard on the film scans, audio tracks and subtitles! =)
Is the 1080p version H264?
In the post quoted below, Harmy says he’s never done h265
Yeah, the encoding could be better. I never encoded h265 before, so I could definitelly use some guidance.
I think the post you were quoting was in response to the potential of using h265 for a future (3.1?) release.
So, I tried a few of the Google Drive links, but they are always down.
Then I tried the uloz links with the recommended tool. Both times, after completing the download, I’d try extracting the folder only to get a CRC error.
I used to have a MySpleen account but forgot my password and the security question reply, so that’s not an option either.
So, what are my options? Wait for it to be uploaded to 1337x?
The first post of this thread, there’s a link to the “Ultimate Introductory Guide” (which now points to “HanDuet’s Guide”). Follow those steps to find alternative mega links.
is there any chance that beta 5 could be uploaded to a certain organ?
It’s there.
I’m rolling along with the new MEGA links (thank you), got about 10 to go. Just wondering what the SFV files are and do I need them?
Thanks
It’s a checksum on the RARs.
You can use it (with QuickSFV or cksfv or…) to confirm the integrity of the RAR files.
I would say that if you get all the RAR files and everything extracts easily, no errors, then you’re fine.
If it doesn’t work and your unrar program doesn’t tell you which RAR files are corrupt, then you can use the sfv to help.
UHD links are up on uloz as well. I hope someone puts it on the Spleen soon.
1080p is there.
Excellent! I’ll help seed. 😃
Great, thanks.
UHD is now there too.

1080p is there.

How about uploading the whole thing to the hoster 1fichier, who is also very user-friendly in terms of download speedCan anyone confirm this would be a good place to upload to?
They’re good, but they also have download limits (if you don’t pay). Download X gigs then wayt Y hours, etc. At least that’s been my experience with them. They probably all do.
Getting links up on mega is being worked on, like the with the other files in the Introductory (Handuet) Guide from the first post.
Of course mega also sometimes puts the bandwidth limits on…
I like using mega free accounts, splitting the files into ~1gb RARs.
Like how the files are when you get to them from the Ultimate Introductory Guide. Also how the NJVC files are distributed.
Seems to work well enough.
With the blessing of @elendil42, you can also pm me for links.
Have FOTR & ROTK 1080p/2160p. Also have FOTR BluRay ISO.
TTT 1080p preview hopefully coming soon.SnooPac, why is the FOTR BluRay ISO you sent me copy-protected? It is impossible to play it.
Even if I remove the AACS protection with DVDFab I can’t play the disc properly either. As a sample, this shot from the movie where Elrond appears:
This way you can see the whole movie
Sounds like a Bad Rip
How are you playing it?
My apologies for taking so long to reply. I have discovered why I see the movie that way. This is due to the codec used for Blu-ray encoding, VC-1 instead of AVC. The same thing happens to me with all Blu-ray discs with VC-1 codec.
I see that TTT and ROTK are now available. Will a Blu-ray version of TTT and ROTK ever be released or only FOTR?
No problem. Glad it’s working.
There’s a bluray iso version of TTT, but it’s different. It’s just the movie, no menus or special features. Its not really available yet, but it could be if you are interested.
The 1080p of ROTK still has compression issues, though…
Thanks for the heads-up.
Due to it, there’s now also a new 1080p ROTK v1.2 available.
The v2 release of 4K83 was released earlier this month.
…
If anyone needs links, can pm me for directions.
The 1080p of ROTK still has compression issues, though…
Noted. Thanks.
Hi. Yes, the new scan of TTT is complete. 1080p and 2160p versions available, like the other movies.
Note also that there’s a new encode of ROTK 2160p (there were reports of encoding/compression issues with the initial release some months ago).
You can PM me if you’d like a copy of any of them (or any of the other releases).
Also reminder, these are not my prints, I can’t claim any credit for the scanning & real effort. I’m just helping to make them available. You can thank @elendil42 and others for making this happen.
very nice of you pauljpowers. How come you know of Anne of Green Gables? I am from Canada so that’s my excuse 😛
Both my parents were fans of the books. So we watched this many times growing up.
LOL now i don’t remember how to add images to this chat…
For Star Wars, you can see the first post here:
https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/4K77-Released/id/60815
Could somebody please help me becoming part of “The Star Wars Trilogy” forums?! Thank you in advance.
Read the first post of this thread.
Hi. Could somebody send me a link to the most current versions of the three episodes? Thank you.
Did you try the guide (https://goo.gl/1WGHBA)?
It’s in the first post: https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Harmys-STAR-WARS-Despecialized-Edition-HD-V2-7-MKV-Released/id/12713
How are you playing it?
I just tried it in Leawo Blu-ray Player:
Did you grab all the rar files and extract them to 1 complete ~37gb file with WinRAR or 7z or alternative?
I have (what I’ve labeled):
kk650.esb.22gb.v2.6
kk650.rotj.18gb.nubnub.v2.15
kk650.tpm.22
kk650.anh.22gb.v2.6
I don’t know if that’s what you are looking for, but if you (or anyone) are interested, send me a PM.
With the blessing of @elendil42, you can also pm me for links.

TTT 1080p “preview” also available.
Yes. The originaltrilogy post I mentioned has an invite code to the other forum.
In case you didn’t notice the update to the first post, you can PM me or Rancor022 for access.
…but can’t seem to get registered for StarWarsTrillogy Forums to gain access to the 4K upscaled Ewok movies…
Try this post:
Yes, they’re down for ROTJ Grindhouse and SW Respecialized. Despecialized are still fine (for now).
I noticed this yesterday and am trying to find @HanDuet to get him to update the links.
