Cool to see the menus altered after my little post... Did you see the one about the small mistakes in the trivia track?

Yeh the menu transitions are a little slow. that's to do with the software used. Not a lot i can do about that plus there is a large gap between going from the menu to the movie because originally i had that transition going to the adywan logo instead of it being at the beginning and it played better that way. problem is i just noticed that i haven't changed the length back to what it should be. that will be altered for the DVD-9

and yes i did manage to change the "wounded" mistake in the trivia track, thanks. i left the other one as it is because that's the way i would would probably say it anyway ( i guess i could just have said that it was a creative decision)

if you live in PAL land then i would suggest getting the PAL over the NTSC as it is better quality

I can get Nero from my friend. Do you think that would be a better program?

I tried it my way twice to no avail. Both times freezing.

No, i use dvddecrypter all the time without any errors. but i did have one version that caused a lot of problems with playback. which version are you using?

also did you try what i suggested and mount the image and try playing it from that?

The same thing happens if I play the movie and try to fast forward...It doesn't get to the cantina...

I just wanted you to know so that you don't think that it is just the DVD players that are giving trouble...it is even the laptop.

Now that's weird. i just burned the iso image file i posted and tested the disc on my pc and the wife's laptop and it played without any problems. what software are you burning the image with and what software are you using to watch the dvd on the laptop? can you mount the original iso image file using daemontools or something like that on your laptop and see if it plays then. that way it will rule out a bad burn it it again doesn't play

On the main menu title, it freezes right after "A NEW HOPE REVISITED" appears, and doesn't transition to the menu screen. From there, none of the menu transitions advance correctly. They all freeze, and I have to scan forward to get it to move.

When playing the movie, it runs fine until 2min, 13sec and the freezes. If I scan forward a little, the movie actually jumps back a few seconds and then starts playing. It will play for anywhere between 10 seconds and 1 minute, and then freezes again.

The sign that it is going to freeze is the time stops running forward.

This does sound like the problem that was mentioned in one of the threads i found. Can you check to see if your player is set to 1080p/24 (or whatever resolution you have it to) if it is set to 24fps playback can you set it to 1080p(or the res you output to your tv)/60 and see if it plays then

Have you set your HD-DVD players to 24fps output? I just did a search on the model numbers of the players mentioned and there seems to be a problem with those players playing certain DVD's if it is set to 24fps output. try setting the output to 1080/60 and see if that works. i also saw some threads that mentioned the A30 & A20 have some audio issues that can cause some DVD's and HD-DVDs to freeze during playback. This does sound like the problem you are having

Unfortunately there just wasn't any room to put the covers on the disc. i'll be keeping those for the DVD-9 version. Plus my official cover will be revealed the day before the DVD-9 is ready. I'd still like to figure out the problem the HD-DVD players are having with the movie though. Was it the NTSC versions that were causing the problems? And has anyone had any problems in other players? I'd like to get this issue resolved for the DVD-9

I am waiting for a torrent.

There is no need to do any type of encoding when burning the DVD. The DVD comes as an iso file. all you have to do is open the iso file using nero or any other burning software and then burn the dvd. It is only best to burn at a slow speed when using cheap media, but when using good quality media it is best to burn at the rated speed.

Sorry that you are having problems playing the DVD in your HD-DVD players. I don't know what make those players are but if its Toshiba then i can understand the problem. i had a Toshiba DVD player that was very picky on not only media but also the bitrates during playback. the NTSC DVD-5 has a lower bitrate on the menus and special features than its PAL counterpart. This was unavoidable or the NTSC version would have had only a couple of the special features that were featured on the PAL disc. But that doesn't explain why you are having problems playing the movie. But it seems to be HD-DVD players that are having this problem, and only certain models. I'm just glad i went with bluray

Par2 files are used to check and repair files downloaded from usenet. You will need quickpar first. you can download it for free here:
QUICKPAR

once you ahve downloaded the rar files and par2 files, open any one of the par2 files with Quickpar. it will then scan the files and report any damaged files. once the scan is complete just click on repair and it will then repair any damaged rar files. once this is done you can unpack the rar files the usual way.

Not much help, I know, but it made me think of this thread...

My wife was watching that too and i thought the same thing.

I came across this website earlier. not sure if you've already seen it or that it would be any help .

Looking forward to seeing this - thanks Adywan!

Yeah, looks like I'm gonna have to go the torrent route for the PROPER release... there are dozens and dozens of missing parts on my server for this one, sadly.

Something happened with giganews when i was uploading last night and wouldn't let me connect for about half an hour. this caused some files to be incomplete. but there are only 7 incomplete files with the proper PAL & 8 with the NTSC. I will be posting plenty of PAR2 that will fix the incomplete ones.

Thanks Moth3r for looking into yenc powerpost for me. I've looked around for a solution and haven't come up with anything myself.When it comes to the DVD-9's i'll just be posting in a.b.starwars anyway.

Yencpowerpost is reporting reporting 21 hours left to upload, but thats because both versions are going up at once. So they will be both available within a hour or so of each other

Thanks for pointing those out Covenant. I'm fixing them right now. i'm glad you posted that before i started posting the discs again. so they will be fixed for all versions now

it just means a few more hours delay

A Hero's Welcome was actually taken from the official 2004 DVD menu
