That sucks, on every end pretty much. How did they gain “access” to a print, or scans of it, that was not theirs to disseminate? I don’t really care about the drama or fine details really, it’s just a shame that the Technicolor print project looks (looked?) so astronomically promising. Too good to be true, I guess.
How fucking utterly bizarre, and confusing.
A damn shame really, the Silver Screen Edition is so phenomenal. It would’ve been great to have a superior Technicolor scan equivalent.

Lazy team, was lazy . . . or rushed, as the case may be.Cue Towne to scold my bad attitude, but I couldn’t resist using that meme
You’ve been told multiple times never to correct me in front of Frink. You know how much it upsets him.
Ok.that’s fair enough. What programs does that the best:
tsMuxER, multiAVCHD, other?I do have the mkv’s
I personally use tsMuxer, but I’ve had the program for a long time and I’ve heard when trying to install it now, from its newest .exe, it attemps to install a lot of turdware during the installation (didn’t do this when I installed it). Just be sure to use the advanced installation if you go that route and uncheck everything you don’t want - don’t let it do its own thing.
Using tsmuxer you just simply add the file and the output the file in a BD friendly format (like iso for example,) click a button and you’re done. Use Imgburn afterwards to burn it to a BD.
By the way have you seen these news:
http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/watch-new-scan-of-the-original-1977-35mm-print-of-star-wars-vs-the-official-blu-ray-release-20160218
Yeah, it’s a beautiful release. It was completed by an account/team here and you can read more about it:
They’re also working on a Technicolor scan release, which looks even better based on the previews they’ve released so far.
The Negative 1 release is different than the DeEd release and both have their advantages and disadvantages. The -1 release is very much like watching an actual projected 35mm presentation (complete with the occasional pops, specks, flecks, and stuff you’d see inherent to older celluloid) but it is very much an absolutely “pure” presentation of the original film (and the aforementioned “flaws” add to authentic filmic feel of the presentation), complete with one original theatrical stereo English track. DeEd is a more “pristine” presentation by way of “meticulous intervention” on Harmy’s part, with many audio options (like the Hairy Hen DTS MA surrounds track), language dubs, and more resolvable detail, etc. Both are fantastic and absolutely worth it, but in my opinion “worth it” in such different ways that both are must-haves and one doesn’t render the other obsolete or inferior in any way, shape, or form (like, say, v2.5 of DeEd renders its previous iterations obsolete.)
It takes literally less than 2 minutes to convert the MKV to a BD compatible file system (whether that be folders, or an iso, or whatever.)
That looks incredible, completely amazing. The amount of resolvable detail looks to be pretty much on par with the official BD, and with the grain it looks far more natural and pleasing.
Why is the Technicolor frame cropped slightly? I’m sure it’s been covered before but is the cropping measurably different than, say, the BD version which looks to be more opened up especially on the sides?

DL’d it and watched it. It’s fucking beautiful. It’s just such a “pure” experience, it doesn’t get any more filmic than this (and the grain structure throughout and the occasional celluloid blobs and worms or whatever those things are popping up for a frame don’t detract from it at all, they actually add to the feel.) Great job.
Please see posts above. Can you help me?
Sorry man but I can’t, I would if I could but I know nothing about torrents. I used a combination of Paradox to grab the links, JDownloader to DL and combine them from Uloz, and tsmuxer to turn it into BD-compatible file.

I’m in the credits, that’s fucking awesome. I’m famous bitch! SOMEONE GET FRINK ON THE HORN AND TELL HIM I’M FAMOUS NOW.
I think you slipped me a mickey. It was hard to tell because I slipped myself at least five mickeys. Kept fucking slipping mickeys.
Harmy I DL’d and watched it last night. It’s fucking amazing, absolutely fucking amazing. Now to go through printing several covers and discs to give to family and a couple buddies.
You’re some kind of mad genius. SOMEONE GET FRINK ON THE HORN AND TELL HIM I WATCHED IT LAST NIGHT AND IT’S AMAZING.

Way ahead of you. Do you want pizza? I already ordered some.
Wait, so is the BD/MKV version of Jedi 2.5 completely done and out there in the wild? I know where to find it and everything if it is but I’m at work so I can’t check, and the thread title makes it seem like it’s still the AVCHD version, and every time I try to go back a page, or go to the first page, it just brings me to the last page again.
Yeah, I’m that guy now.
It’s on kat cr
I don’t know what this means. I just use Paradox/JDownloader/Uloz.

Exactly not what he asked.
So yeah, ROTJ 2.5 MKV is out.
Fucking awesome. Will be downloading it tonight. SOMEONE PUT FRINK ON THE HORN AND TELL HIM I WILL BE DOWNLOADING IT TONIGHT.

Hey guys I realise I’m a little late to the party and first off I’d like to give a huge thank you to Team Negative and a big congratulations, it’s simply amazing and gorgeous and is a better version of the film than I ever thought I’d see in these troubled times.
However, I would like to ask how I can burn the film onto a disk. I was able to burn Harmy’s Despecialized Edition onto verbatim DVD+R DL disks but they’re max size is 8.5GB and this is 21GB.
1: Is it possible to put this onto a disk?
2: What disks do I need to buy?
3: If my computer can burn the Despecialized Edition will it be able to burn this (do I need to download any more software or by a different disk drive or something?)
Sorry if my questions have already been asked, I looked through the thread but I’ll admit that it’s late and I may have skim read some pages near the end.
Thanks in advance
The newest editions of Harmy’s Despecialized are around 20 gigs for both Star Wars and Empire, so if you have 8.5gb versions you have the old outdated editions (apart from Jedi, which he is finishing now.)
To burn this to a disc you’ll need to use blank BD’s and a BD burner. I use an LG burner and Falcon Pro SmartGuard BD discs (high quality media and great printing surface). Assuming you used ImgBurn to burn the old Despecialized versions to DVD, you can use that same program to burn Negative 1’s 35mm presentation to BD, the process is largely the same it’s just that the hardware and disc media are different.
Why can’t it be closed?
Because it’s a virus? A virus that controls your mind? A virus that controls your mind and makes you post weird senseless shit?
Spooky. Can I get infected with it by sexual intercourse or only by a kiss?
Fingerbanging only.
I doesn’t have seamless branching.
You don’t have seamless branching? How do you mange without it?
I tape my penis to my leg.
Get tsMuxeR HERE:

DL’ing it from some random site can be risky depending on which site you use. Lots of them bundle garbage, spyware, and viruses along with “free” software. The DL on the Doom9 forum is definitely safe (and tsMuxeR itself is also safe and adware free).
Well, actually, ISO may be a little better, since it’s easier not to screw up the burning process. But content-wise, definitely the same thing.
I haven’t been paying attention to the BD projects here in this thread but thought I should mention that if you have integrated (real) seamless branching somewhere on the disc then it is imperative that you burn from the disc image in order to maintain the physical disc layout and prevent skipping during playback of the branches. With the right authoring software it will interleave the 2 branches so that they occupy a similar space on the disc to prevent the laser from having to bounce around. Otherwise, yeah, about the same thing.
I doesn’t have seamless branching.
And it isn’t “about” the same thing, it is the same thing.
I was wondering if let’s say I wanted to burn these onto a BD-RW what would you recommend Harmy? I want to make sure this is burnt properly on a BD for the best viewing experience on an HDTV.
Hmm… I just burned these a few days ago without seeing this post. I used TSMuxer to output to Blu-Ray Disc then just burned the ISO with Imgburn. The disc played fine as far as I can tell. What would be the advantage of doing it your way? Was there a loss of quality in the way I did it?
No difference, it’ll be identical.

Frink is the bad boy I can’t deny that. Bit of a badass, that Frink.
Don’t leave us hanging Joey.
He’s just being zany so it’s classic Frink I guess, but to be honest Joey this reminds me of how pleasant your Mother is - and how much I get along with her compared to the other posters here. She can be pushy sometimes, sure - but that’s just part of her charm. We have a bunch in common.
Honestly he’s not lying Joey but he can’t cook his way out of a wet paper bag so please keep this in mind.
