Thanks for the breakdown, Ziz. I couldn't remember if the "semi-ultimate" had the trivia track or not. (actually, wasn't that where it said 'hey, that's me!' when Harrison Ford's name came up? Was that even fixed for the DVD-9?) I need to watch it again, with the trivia track on. Been a while. ;)

No, just the opposite.  The 9 is where the text is mixed up, on the 5 it's correct.

It came out about a month ago.  Should run you $10 to $12.

9 - "Ultimate" version - Trivia Track, Easter Eggs, Bonus Features, better video quality if you have a super-high end TV.

5 - "Semi-Ultimate" version - Trivia Track, fewer Bonus Features, no Easter Eggs.  Decent quality for most people.

5 Purist - Undoes some more hotly debated changes - some editing, no added music.  Barebones, no menus, no trivia, no bonus, no eggs, nothing.

Xvid - "Workprint" version - still had some FX issues and other tweaks that slipped through and were fixed on the 5 and 9 versions.

Purist is only available in NTSC, everything else comes in NTSC or PAL, I believe.

One of these days, I'm gonna have to line up my printer correctly... these are so great, but I never print them right! >_>

or perhaps to Kinko's?  Either way, I think I'll end up using those Ash.

Buy a pack of legal size paper and fire up the cover you want to print in Windows Paint.

File>Page Setup.

Landscape, Legal size paper, set all margins to 0.  Paint will re-adjust them to your printer's minimum default.  Horizontal and Vertical center are optional.  I like to check them so that I don't have to struggle with trimming 1/16" off of one end...it's easier to trim an inch and a half.

Set your print quality and hit Print.

That's a relative term.  Depends what you used to shrink it, what the settings were, what were you playing it back on...both player and TV.  All are factors.

Why wouldn't it fit on a DL?  Mine made it no problem.  What program did you use to try to burn it originally, before you shrank it?

After the prequels and Indy 4,  i am not too sure i want to hand over ten bucks to the cashier in the theaters to see another favorite film series be destroyed before my very eyes in mockery of there once brilliance as movies.

And if your so emotional tied to the characters or series by nostalgia or just like them for whatever reason its like getting punched in  the gut or kicked in the nuts.  Supposedly that is what people felt after seeing Crystal Numbskull.

Hello, Kettle?  This is Pot.  You're black.

I know.  I asked there after I asked here, he just answered there first.

Ady,

I asked this in the other thread, but since it's kind of a crossover question...since you're going to have to take time out to generate so many models and such to create new shots for ESB:R, when do you think you'll be at a stopping point to shift sideways and whip up ROTJ AVCHD?  At least complete that set for us while we wait for Revisited.

Leaving Hoth is the time reference, as both sets of characters (Luke & R2, Han & the gang) left within a few minutes, maybe an hour or two, tops, of each other.

I could see the Luke & Yoda scenes being stretched over a few weeks, maybe, but what were the gang on the Falcon doing during all that time?

Han & co went from escaping Hoth into the asteroid field, out of the slug to hitching a ride on the SD, then to Bespin.  I can't see that chain of events taking months, or even weeks.  Maybe a few days, tops.

Hey Ady,

We all know you're plugging away on ESB:R but can you guesstimate at a "pause point" where you can at least do the AVCHD of "Jedi", just to complete the OT set?

FF,

One more suggestion while you're in "remaster" mode - on the Chapter Selection menu, put an asterisk * next to any chapter names that have SLV footage in them relative to the theatrical cut.

Side thought for anyone interested - disc and case art would be nice.

That's the way Hollywood...or most of Corporate America, for that matter...works.  If they don't show a profit, they don't have to pay income tax.  Any other money they can avoid paying to anyone else is just an extension of that.

The publicity stills and the interviews are very cool,and the way the Enterprise takes off at movie start is awesome to,but I have never been a fan of the annoying warnings faneditors put on there DVD's,because quit frankly they are easily stripped and really do nothing,people are going to do whatever they want with the video anyways(I should know,ALOT of my previous works have been and still are being sold),just like we do,but your own little FF presentation is OK,it is like your signature.

Just got FEDS to and did not like the warning on that either,so I will strip it to LOL,FE started all that BS and now it seems everyone thinks it has to be on there.

Hell the official retail versions have arnings up the ass and we don't seem to listen to those do we?\

but hey that is just me,FF keep an eye on your PM's,you will be gettting one shortly.

Thank for the comment.  I'll leave everything but my FF logo off my next edit project.

 

I don't know about that.  The warning stuff may be useless from a fan-edit perspective, but it's a necessary step to thwart the lazy bootleggers who download stuff and burn stacks of discs to sell at conventions.  They're not paying attention to the details, they're just interested in making money, which is what puts the fan editing community in jeopardy in the first place.  Having the warning on there at least educates the customer to what they're watching, if not thwarting the bootlegger.

Maybe you could also re-master it in anamorphic, since others have suggested the fixes for it.

Laser is ahead of tapes, or was at the time.  Now, unless you want to do some kind of preservation/restoration project, it's generally not worth it.  With the GOUT specifically, those are taken from one of the last LD masters produced, so you're not really gaining anything by hunting down the original LDs.

Check your PM's.

Ok, I decided to stay up and burn a disc.

It plays on the computer but not on my stand alone player.  Tried two burns, one with Nero, one with Roxio.  Both times, I had to do it as a Data Disc, as neither had specific Video DVD options, at least not that I could find.

It was the mid- 80's.  That was the style.

I finally got the whole thing too.  Had to leave the computer on for the past 3 days non-stop.  It's midnight here now, so I'll burn a disc tomorrow.

just search for "star wars avchd" on demonoid and you'll find them

That was the first thing I tried, which was how I found ANH, then I tweaked it to search for Empire.

Edit - OK, searched for "adywan" and I found it.  I figured they would be named similar though, which is what was confusing me.  ANH said "STAR WARS IV" but ESB said "Star Wars Ep 5".  ANH also had "AVCHD" in the title, ESB didn't.

Anyone have any suggestions where I can find the EP V torrent?  I was able to download EP IV in a little over a day, but I've been downloading EP V for 3 days now, and I still only have 20% of it.  Thanks!

Same here.  I've done searches on Demonoid for "star wars V avchd" and "empire avchd" and am coming up blank.

Ok, so the question remains - what's the connection between your, or anyone else's, religious beliefs and this project you need help with?  What does one have to do with the other?

I'll give in.

Name: Al Timeter.  I'm a test pilot.

Religion: Pastafarianism thru the Church Of The Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Now I have to figure out how to use torrent clients.

Supposedly, Snyder filmed all the "ins" and "outs" with the newsstand vendor and the kid, so it's just a matter of editing and some creative transitions.
