For MAC burners, I used Disk Utility. Just select the .iso file and burn it to DVD.

I checked my DVD and it worked perfectly. If I find any glitches, I'll be sure to report it.

What is it with all this whining? I started downloading last night and had the iso file by this morning. No speed problems, no connection issues, and this is behind a university firewall!

As for the PAL version, be patient. Ady has spent 2 years of HIS time working on this, so an extra day or so is nothing in comparison to that.

DVD5 looks great, better than a lot of commercial DVD9's. Can't wait to see the extra bonus's in the DVD9.

Widescreen or fullscreen?

Ady only made a widescreen version of Star Wars Revisited. The closest that you will get to a fullscreen version is pressing the zoom button on your DVD player.

From the looks of the images you posted, there might be a quantizer problem. You might want to bump the maxQ rating down.

I checked the Yavin doorway shot and it looks like someone else was changed on the other side of the stairs. One closest to the camera on the left.

There is a big difference between viewing an effects shot in the eyes of Joe Six Pack and in the eyes of a professional trained to see the smallest flaws.

If there is one thing that Ady undoubtedly did is set the bar higher.

I think the restructured hut scene works better than the original cut. It's as if Obi-Wan is slowly easing Luke in before he asks him to help him deliver the plans.

As far as the flipper goes, I can live with it. If it really annoys me, I can always edit the Wolfman's hand back in. I encourage anyone who is annoyed of certain aspects of Ady's work to just cut it out and replace it with the original footage. If Ady is satisfied with his edit, he shouldn't be forced to change it at all.

In all the excitement about the new stuff, I forgot my favorite bit; the picture and audio correction. The main reason why I cannot stand to watch the '04 DVD's is because they screwed up the transfer so badly.

I haven't found the battle droid or George, but I wasn't exactly looking for them either.

I was 100% prepared to point out every flaw I had with your edit, ady. Now that I've seen it, the edit is too good to shoot apart.

Excellent work all around. The changes I thought I wouldn't be in favor of (the ROTS music in the fight scene) I ended up liking very much. The only real change that I didn't like was the Tie attack during the Death Star battle. It breaks up the pacing a bit and the first pan shot runs too long. But hell, Biggs gets a kill and that's enough to make up for it.

Speaking of which, one of favorite subtle change is having Luke scream "Biggs!" over the radio.

Out of all 4 of the Star Wars versions I have, yours probably ranks second, behind the GOUT DVD from 2006. Even if the picture is shoddy, I still prefer the original Star Wars over any Special Edition out there. But your edit most certainly is the best SE of Star Wars out there and damn near beats the original. Now go drink, eat, and take the rest of the year off. You've earned it.

For some reason, I stopped connecting to anyone and I'm stuck at 88%. Anyone else have this problem?

EDIT: Speak of the devil. The instant I post this, the torrent starts connecting again.

Got the torrent, seeding at 86k, will increase the upload limit once I get the whole thing downloaded (in about 8 hours or so).

Will post a detailed review after viewing.

DVD-5 is a single layer DVD and DVD-9 is a dual layer DVD. The DVD-9 can hold almost twice the disc space as a DVD-5, but there are fewer people out that can burn DVD-9's. More disc space means that the video has fewer artifacts and there can be more alternate audio tracks.

I'd go for either, really. I can show the DVD-5 to friends and keep the DVD-9 version on my computer for when I get a Superdrive in the future.

Take as much time as you need so that the encode comes out perfectly, Ady. In the grand scheme of things, one extra day is nothing.

Can't wait until the torrent gets up.

I can't help with PIF chains, unfortunately, but if a torrent ends up on the internet, I'd be more than willing to keep it seeded.

Methinks most people haven't used those file hosts before. I guess some torrenters are spoiled.

At least I learned something new about Megaupload.

Most DVD Players that I have seen expand for aspect ratio instead of contract. Meaning you have 853x480 for widescreen NTSC and 1024x576 for widescreen PAL.

I'd like to pick this apart, but I won't. I'm a critical person by nature and if there is something I don't think works, I'll just cut it out and replace it with another version. Virtues of having Final Cut on my computer.

The good:

Sound mix is excellent. Sounds much better than the 2004 DVD's.
Cantina aliens.
The seamless removal of the ronto.
The Alderaan destruction looks great. It really looks like a planet exploding, instead of a stock explosion over a painting.

The bad:
Some SE elements are still there that I'm not really in favor of. That would include the Mos Eisley crane shot and the trooper getting off the dewback.
The Falcon escaping the Star Destroyers doesn't look right. Mostly because it turns away from the Destroyer, yet the engines stay parallel to the screen.

An overall great job. I look forward to seeing the whole thing sometime next year.

Now I'm confused.

Megavideo and Megaupload are two different sites. Ady loaded the .rar files on Megaupload. The steps to watching the videos are as follows:

1) Follow the steps to downloading the files of Megaupload.
2) Once you have the three .rar files on your desktop, use winrar to unpack them
3) Once unpacked, use WMP or VLC to view the video.

You've made the process more complicated than it actually is.

With Stuffit Expander (what I use to expand RARS) I can unpack part of a RAR if I have, say, the first 2 and not the last ones. It isn't finished, but I can watch the first half of the video. I don't know if Winrar does that too.

The problem is, I have part 1 and 3. I cannot watch the last part because Stuffit wonders where rar 2 is.

Yousendit is my service of choice. No download limits. With ady's blessing, I can upload the rars I have on that.

I just hit the file upload limit and now I have to wait 4 hours to get the rest.
