Does this mean the BR version will be GOUT - sync? That would be awesome!
Thank you for all your hard work guys!!
Ah, okay. Thought it is something with cut, insert and merge or maybe smart encoding where only the added or modified content is encoded and merged together with the rest.
I did video editing myself years ago, did a concert movie in 720p/1080p of Nine Inch Nails material that was pushed from Trent to the net with multiple camera angles. Was editing it over a few month with Vegas, used Avisynth as frame server and encoded with MeGUI. Maybe the result is something for the Spleen too, maybe I share it there some day. The torrent is inactive on DIME now.
I remember that I was able to smart render some parts.
Sorry for the off topic.
you did Lights In The Sky (“the Gift”)? if so, you are AWESOME
Yup, it is. I will share it on the Spleen in the near future.

As I asked earlier… Can someone point me how to GOUT sync this monster? I would love to watch this with my dad in our foreign language. Will the BD release sync to GOUT, so I would wait… 😉?
Thank you guys!
I’m almost done with a 720p re-encode of this that is gout-synced. It looks like it will weigh in around 9-10 GB with the dts mono mix included. If there is interest I will up it to the spleen.
That would be nice!
Is it not possible to GOUT-sync it lossless?

Gout-sync script.
I count 111 frames missing vs. gout and 0 extra frames. Mostly from the end of the reels. I tried to add little annotations of the shots missing frames to make it easier to reference.
Thank you, I just wanted to ask how to apply a german GOUT audio track to it. 😃
But how can I do this exactly? What tools do I need, is there a how-to anywhere? Avisynth / VirtualDub with the MKV as video source and the script as input…? Sorry for the noob questions, but I really want to learn and to understand. Maybe someone of the pros here can help me out.
@TeamNegative1
I finished watching it and it was outstanding! Great job, thank you so much for it!!
They look very cool CatBus. Do you ship them with an update of your Pack in the near future?

My first test of the new matching subtitles has been pretty successful, sample below (click for full size).
Things I worked on:
- The font, which is mostly Franklin Gothic Demi Cond, but you’ll see on the lowercase “g” and the question mark that I’ve modified it to look more like the theatrical font.
- The drop shadow, which is now scripted with Perl and ImageMagick (of course, one trick pony…) to look more like the solid black drop shadow of the films than the semitransparent drop shadow generated by easySUP.
- The border, which isn’t theatrical at all but is pretty much necessary if you want to read the subtitles against a white background (think Hoth). Instead of the thin black solid outline you can see in the example in the first post, it’s a thin faint semitransparent border along the northwest edge of the letters to provide some definition – much less obtrusive IMO, but still necessary.
- The blur, which you can only really see in the larger version. I blurred up the subtitles very slightly so that they appear to be part of the film itself, rather than much sharper than the rest of the film. I think this makes it look much more seamless.
I may decide to do more things, but I’m actually very happy with how this test run looks.
Please note that none of these changes are going into the regular subtitles–just the ones that are supposed to look like the burnt-in theatrical ones. In particular, don’t panic about the blur, it’s not going anywhere else.
Looks awesome CatBus!
Great news!!
Yes, 3.0 will come in 1080p. It would be interesting to know, in which GB regions the 1080p version will be released, BD-50 maybe? If it would be a BD-25 release, I would personally prefer 720p in this case because there is enough space for a higher video bit rate which is making a 1080p version obsolete, like the current releases. I did not notice any great difference (besides the colors!) on my calibrated TV comparing a screenshot from the official Blu Ray with a identical frame taken from the DE, besides the fucked up colors…
Awesome work CatBus. Will get the package as soon as I am on my computer! Thank you so much!
Ich muss das auch nochmal loswerden! Was Laserschwert hier mit der DE gemacht ist einfach wunderbar! Einem Bekannten, dem ich das gezeigt habe, sind Tränen aus den Augen gekullert bei dem Anblick “Krieg der Sterne” im Vorspann. Er ist schon etwas älter und hatte es damals so im Kino gesehen als kleiner Junge.
Freue mich sehr auf ESB und ROTJ, wie früher. Klasse!!
That are awesome news Harmy!! Made my weekend after the TFA premier yesterday here in Germany!
So, you guys remember this?
Well, hold on to your hats, because I finally got my hands on a scan of reel 3 from an LPP print and here’s a comparison with the Blu-Ray:
http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/153998
The difference is shocking!
By the way, this problem is present pretty much exactly throughout the second half of reel three and definitely ends precisely with the last shot of reel 3 and since the negative is actually split into smaller ten-minute reels, it definitely points to them just mucking up the scanning of what would be reel 6 of the negative and instead of re-scanning with proper focus, they just threw a sharpening filter at it.
This is absolutley shocking indeed. The reel scan looks like a promo shot. Awesome!!
^ This!
I also think that some scenes of the 35 mm material needs to be stabilized. Some scenes are very "edgy/twitchy " to watch. But beside that the new 35 mm material looks awesome and they are a big advantage over the previous version. I skipped through it and will have a exact watch at the weekend. Thank you Harmy!!
Yeah MKV. Sure it’ll be a huge improvement over 1.0, but it’s still a workprint. No need to build a big ecosystem around it.
(Sadly) yes. I mean, it is absolutely awesome that Harmy is providing a Workprint as preview, but in the times of large disk spaces and cloud services I would prefer a 20 GB and up encode like SW and ESB are, i am a quality fetishist… I want to burn it to a BD-R, I want to watch it on my TV to enjoy it and find bugs if there are any. In my usual environment instead of sitting in front of my computer. 😃 Hopefully the 8GB file fits on a DVD-R. First world problems, lol.
Anyway, looking forward to the Workprint! 😃
Harmy, is it not a better option to leave ROTJ workprint the same as 1.0 in view of the structure? So it would be easier to mux another audio tracks/languages to it. I also would prefer a large mkv file like ANH and TESB. I know the workprint will not be the final release, but it would easier to handle it, also in case of spotting errors. If the resolution or the encode is higher bitrated, it is easier to recognize.
Anyway, thank you again Harmy for all the efforts you put in!
Haha, thank you Harmy! Great idea!! Signed up (hopefully correct…)!
Thank you! 😃
Hi Althor!
Thank you for your work. I want to check out the Japanese Laserdisc on the Spleen you have preserved and I ask me, if I can mux the German audio tracks from Harmy’s DE to it?
Kindly regards
Nico
Hi guys,
Thank you for this preservation, Team Blu - I love it!
Is it possible to mux the German audio from Harmy’s Despecialized Edition to this to get German audio or are there advanced tasks needed?
Are the any updates on TESB and ROTJ?
Kindly regards
Nico

Hi guys,
does anyone have the timestamps/chaptermarks for ROTJ 1.0?
