Wow, that’s much better. I’m going to see if I can match it to that.

And here is the new Mt2s file (for the '81 crawl only):

Let me know what you think. Also let me know if you can simply swap out the old file of the same name in the iso. if swapping out the file breaks the blu-ray, let me know and I’ll upload all the supporting files…

How would one go about doing that?

You should be able to extract the ISO using a program like Winrar, once extracted, navigate to the BDMV\Stream folder and replace the file. Also extract this archive to the root of your extracted ISO:

https://mega.nz/#!Vxog2QDZ!BrVoGNmED6U_LmkIi5DP_gSjF42nsIbgIw3rv8dkJVM

to replace all the supporting files.

Then use something like imgBurn to create a new ISO, mount it (I use Virtual Clone Drive) and test that out. If it works in your software player, e.g. Power DVD, then you can burn it.

If it doesn’t work, there is probably a way to do it with BD Rebuilder or multiAVCHD or something like that. The only other alternative would be to reupload the entire image 😦

Looks great. As is, I can’t skip (fast forward/rewind) during the intro segment if it’s put back into the disc structure and played via the menu. It crashes unless I go back to the start.

Try this. Here is the entire BD folder structure with all files except the .Mt2s movie files (only 107 KB!). Replace all the files in your ISO and let me know if that fixes the issues.

Just a quick heads up…for some strange reason, the “Star_Wars_SSE_TN1_v1_6.iso” appears to have AACS protection AND (I believe as a direct result) would NOT load properly in a “stock” copy of the current VLC (v2.2.4) for Mac and produced the following error message:

Blu-ray error
This Blu-ray Disc needs a library for AACS decoding, and your system does not have it.

SOLUTION:
Please visit http://vlc-bluray.whoknowsmy.name/ to DL and install the current “Keys database” and “AACS dynamic library” for your Windows, MacOS X or Linux-based system.
[NOTE: Under MacOS X, the “~/lib directory” that you’ll want to copy your DLed “libaacs.dylib” to may be found by right-clicking the VLC app, selecting “Show Package Contents”, and navigating to “~Contents -> MacOS -> lib”.]

This took me a little while to find the above website AND to work through a less than fully clear MacOS instructions.

Huge THANKS go to Williarob and Team Negative1 (and other project contributors) for producing such a quality preservation!

Kind regards,

-A.S.

I might be mistaken, but I think it’s not real AACS encryption. Deleting the AACS folder might be sufficient to getting it to load. Haven’t tested it on this exact release, but it is the case for others built this way.

I am no expert in the field of AACS encryption, however, I might hazard a guess that perhaps some setting in the Blu-ray mastering software used could be the culprit? In any event, while it was a bit of a pain in the ass to find and sort out the details of a workaround…this is certainly NOT a show-stopper.

I expect that the AACS encryption was almost certainly unintentional. My intent in sharing my findings were to report the issue, share the workaround that I found, and IF a v1.6.1, v1.7, or a v2.0 are ever released…addressing the detected AACS encryption could make it into into agenda somewhere?

On behalf of myself (AND my two boys), I do REALLY, REALLY appreciate the fruits of the labors of Williarob and the rest of Team Negative1 (and contributors) for sharing this beautiful “fan preservation” with us!

Cheers!

FYI: The Disc is NOT AACS encrypted:

Your software is just assuming that it is because an AACS folder was generated. Have you tried deleting the AACS folder?

Here is my latest attempt, using only the 35mm version…

Let me know what you think. Also let me know if you can simply swap out the old file of the same name in the iso. if swapping out the file breaks the blu-ray, let me know and I’ll upload all the supporting files…

Here’s what I came up with:

As Darth Lucas points out, reducing the red leaves Tatooine looking very blue, so I reduced it, but only a little.

Here is an original, untouched frame for you to play with…

I also have a new version of the '81 Crawl. I spent a few days working with the 35mm version and even managed to bring back the original stars from the print:

No trickery here, this is 100% 35mm, and just from the one source. I have about 3 hours of screen capture that I took while working on it which I am editing down to something more watchable and which will reveal how it was done… Stay tuned…

Wow! Fantastic! If you can get the flyover color corrected a bit I would definitely prefer you use that version over mine! I will still send you the link, but seriously well done!

Well, Color Correction isn’t really one of my strengths. However, I ran the frame through Dre’s Color Balance (Beta) program and this is what it created - Better? Looks less red, but too yellow to me, at least in the browser.

Perhaps this is a better idea: Here is the whole frame (without any color correction - well, levels have been adjusted obviously, and perhaps too much):

If you can color correct it, in Photoshop or whatever, I can then use Dre’s Color match tool to build a LUT and apply the correction to the rest of the shot. If that doesn’t work, then I’ll just have to upload the whole thing for you and maybe you can correct it?

Just out of curiosity, is ESB Sanitized still happening? Or is the Team Blu work the focus for the time being?

-1 was the only person working on “ESB Sanitized”. I don’t know if he has finished it yet or not, but I’m pretty sure that the OT community is not at the top of his Christmas list, so I would look to Team Blu for the next ESB release…

I’m very interested in the WWII stuff, and cartoons are always fun. PM me if you would like to get them scanned.

I just can’t get it to run. It’s in the same folder as the matlab dlls (C:\Program Files (x86)\MATLAB\MATLAB Compiler Runtime\v714\runtime\win32), but it doesn’t find them.

You need to add something to your PATH Environment variable. The installer should have done this, but it didn’t do it on my system either:

Right click on “My Computer”, click on properties, Advanced, Environment Variables, and then add a semi colon and “C:\Program Files (x86)\MATLAB\MATLAB Compiler Runtime\v714\runtime\win32” to the end of the PATH. There should already be a bunch of paths in there, separated by semi colons. Keep clicking OK until all the dialog boxes are gone and then try launching the app again.

This happens every time someone extracts the ISO. Why extract it? Why do anything to it?

Honestly, after all the hard work that went into making it a proper blu-ray, it pains me to see people just ripping out the video to make MKVs, but I get it.

Meanwhile, just for fun and because I enjoy tinkering in After Effects, I put together this short parody-promo video:

As far as I can tell though there are no errors in the file.

Also Rob, could you please post the x264 settings (as well as the version you used and whether it was 32bit/64bit), that will allow me to encode the true 1981 craw to the correct settings. I’ve already got it ready (based on the 1.0 Extras file), I just need to know the settings. Also, if you have a better quality version than the one from the 1.0 extras please let me know (even if it’s just the same but at a higher resolution, given that I have to crop and resize the file from an already 1080p encode). Thanks.

Really great work on 1.6 by the way!

V

I didn’t use x264 to encode it, but can certainly encode a compatible file for you. Just need to see if I can dig up the lossless version…

I guess it must be - parhaps that’s why so many people are having issues making their MKVs from it.

So, am i crazy?

the file i downloaded from a.b.starwars hashes differently from what is on the spleen. the torrent checked to like 99% from what i had. anyone else have the same? i even re-extracted from the rar’s and got the same difference:

I am far too sleep deprived to tell if I’m being dense, but I can’t figure out how to load the two images to get the other buttons to be active. What am I missing?

Watch the tutorial here:

It should just work. I’ll check the timestamps on each of the files and include all of the files that get updated, but it’s only the m2ts files that are large, so even if you have to replace ALL the other files in the BDMV folder (except STREAM), that’s only another 200 KB. The crawl file is about 720 MB.

You would have to extract the files from the iso, replace one of the m2ts files then create a new iso or burn the folder. So, the disadvantage is that you have to do a little work to make it happen, but the major advantage is that you don’t have to re-download 40 GB.

I’ll be happy to encode it as x264 with the same settings as the rest of the film. In fact I can probably do a partial mux and just re-upload the m2ts file for anyone who wants to swap it out.
