Ok, so let's say I want to have two versions of the film on the disc, just like a seamless branched disc would. I want to be able to select which version to watch from the menu, let's say angle 1 for the Pre-ANH version and angle 2 for the "tweaked" version. Basically the only difference between the two would be the opening crawl and various effects shots scattered throughout. It should be relatively easy to set this up in Scenarist shouldn't it?

Um, no. There was nothing changed on the VHS version of TPM. It's the same as the Theatrical release. All the added effects and scenes were done specifically for the DVD.

I don't know what DVD you have Daniel, but my Official AOTC DVD has the "Die, Jedi dogs!" line as well. The only differences that I know of are the shot of anakin's mech hand, which was changed for the digital theatrical release, and the extended garage scene on the dvd with the "to be angry is to be human" line.

I was actually replying to Darth Balls, who complimented me on my crawl a few posts up. Though "thanks to DanielB" would not be a false statement.

If you're having trouble viewing the video, or my ESB menu videos, you might need to download and install the newest version of the XviD coded. You can find it on www.doom9.org. I've also been told that Real Player doesn't like playing these for some reason, so I hope you're not using that.

I hope you can make it look better than every other generated crawl I've seen (don't worry, I have faith in your abilities, right?).

Well here is my ROTS crawl for comparrision:

ROTS Opening by Zion (20MB, requires XviD codec)

Please save to your hard drive before viewing.

There are a few things I don't like about it, like the way the SW logo flies in and the blockiness of the text as it gets farther away from the screen, but things like that can be fixed easily (it also looks much better in MPEG2).

I most certainly would love to get my hands on those fonts, as I've alredy begun work on reconstructing the crawl in After Effects. Send me a PM Moll.

Daniel, keep in mind that when using angles, you have to split the bandwidth between them. Half the bandwidth may be unnoticable for things like credits and the opening crawl, but when it comes to the rest of the film I'd rather not do it. That is the reason why I'm persuing the branching method instead. I'm going to try out the doom9 technique and see if I can make it work. If not, I may have to resort to angles, but I really don't want to do that unless I absolutely have to.

(Off topic again, but this is really wierd. Whenever I edit a post in a sticky thread it sends it to the top of the list. These Mod abilities have made me powerful...)

Ash, you just made me realize that I never commented on your post. Sorry about that.

Anyway, if and when I decide to do a purist version (which may be sooner than you think ), I'm going all the way and doing everything possibe to make it look and sound like the '77 version. Sorry to confuse you. My ultimate edition ANH DVD would have both the purist version with original crawl, mono track, and no video touch-ups save for your basic noise filters and spot removal, as well as the touched up version with fixed effects and 5.1 audio.
