Just so you all know, I've been away from a computer for two weeks and will be away for another week. Today I've managed to find net access for a short time. I'm starting bh008 in a week's time and will hopefully get maybe 1 or 2 more out before I go away for about 3 months. I'm not sure about net access where I'm going so it might be quiet for a while.
By the way, I removed the chaptering from the Heroes and Villains discs as I thought they were misplaced.

They are still there (check my thread for links) but there are no seeders. So they are not showing up on the main page. I think Metallaxis may have a problem.

The re-releases are happening chronologically from bh001. They are all NEW including the above release of bh007. It has been reauthored and includes more extras. Hope this helps.

Yes I know. 3 re-releases in a week. What's going on?
Two reasons.
1. I want to start on something new. The discs i did for DigitalFreakNYC's Indiana Jones releases were a welcome change. I'm looking forward to bh009 and onwards.
2. I'm going away again so you won't see anything new for a while (maybe a week or two).

Metallaxis will have releases 5-7 by this weekend so expect them on myspleen soon. klokwerk and segaflip will be getting the next batch (5 to 8) as soon as 8 is done. Then all you usenet users and Antipodeans will be happy.

Keep the comments and criticisms coming. I do enjoy reading them!

Oh and if anybody is printing out the covers and disc art could they let me know how it looks. Especially when they are stacked up next to each other!

Enjoy!

Video Format: MPEG2/704x480/4x3/NTSC/Av.Bitrate 7561kbps
Audio Format: PCM Stereo (Triumph sketch Dolby 2.0 Surround)

Duration: 41m 30s
Size: 3.90GB
Artwork: COVER.tif and LABEL.tif in DVD_ROM folder

Description: (From vh1.com)
Few movies have reached the iconic status of the original Star Wars trilogy. A long-shot science fiction project that was rejected by multiple Hollywood studios, Star Wars (and its creator George Lucas) defied the skeptics and became one of the biggest pop culture phenomena of all time. Now VH1 is working with Lucasfilm to produce the ultimate oral history of the Star Wars years, When Star Wars Ruled the World. Timed to coincide with the DVD release of the original trilogy on September 21, 2004, this hour-long documentary will take viewers back to those rapturous moments when the whole world wanted to wield a light saber.

The show begins in the mid-1970s as George Lucas struggles to find a way to make his dream project a reality. Relive the incredible and unlikely impact of the first Star Wars movie, the sudden fame of unknowns like Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher, and the way fans around the world fell in love, first with the movie and then with the action figures, pillow cases, C-3PO cereal and everything else they could - and did - line up to buy. Manufacturers could hardly keep up with the demand for anything and everything Star Wars (swamped by clamoring fans, the official Star Wars toymaker, Kenner, at one point had to settle for selling vouchers for yet-to-be-made action figures.)

The show will also chronicle the immense anticipation for the first Star Wars sequel, The Empire Strikes Back and the build-up to the climactic Return of the Jedi that had fans traveling hundreds of miles to visit the gates of the movie's set. Along the way, we will highlight the cultural impression made on millions of fans by Star Wars icons like Darth Vader, Ewoks, and Yoda, and lines like "I am your father," "That's no moon. It's a space station," and, "May the force be with you."

INTERVIEW LIST:
* Mark Hamill - Luke Skywalker
* Carrie Fisher - Princess Leia
* Harrison Ford - Han Solo
* Anthony Daniels - C-3P0
* Kenny Baker - R2-D2
* Peter Mayhew - Chewbacca
* Billy Dee Williams - Lando Calrissian
* John Williams - Composer
* Gary Kurtz - Producer on first two Star Wars movies
* Kevin Smith - Director / Superfan
* Frank Oz - Yoda
* Ming-Na - Superfan
* Ken Ralston - Visual Effects
* Alan Ladd Jr. - Fmr. President, 20th Century Fox
* Irvin Kershner - Director, Empire Strikes Back
* Jeremy Bulloch - Boba Fett
* Warwick Davis - Wicket the Ewok
* Daphne Zuniga - Actress, Spaceballs
* Nicole Miyamoto - Superfan
* William Miyamoto - Superfan

And just to keep you up to date on the distribution of these discs:

Metallaxis, Russs15 & Rikter are kindly upping the releases to myspleen.net for everybody to download

segaflip will be posting them to alt.binaries.starwars as soon as he receives them (he should receive 1 to 4 next week)

klokwerk is now my official distributor for the southern hemisphere. So if you live in Australia or New Zealand (or nearby, in a geographical sense) get in touch with him via PM and I'm sure he'll see what he can do.

Yes, i know what you're thinking. "These re-releases are all well and good, but when are we going to see something new?"

I never intended these re-releases to take so long, and this disc has taken more time than i wanted to spend on it. The authoring was a bitch. This final version is actually the third draft! That, and the work I'm doing with DigitalFreakNYC has slowed the process down slightly, but I intend to get the remaining re-releases out as soon as I can. Believe me, I'm more bored with them than any of you.

Next... When Star Wars Ruled The World. With... Outtake interviews (in the DVD_ROM section, I don't want to reencode these) & possibly the uncut Triumph the Comic Insult Dog sequence from the AOTC line.

Description:
Transmitted on the ITV network in the UK on May 25th 2002, "The A To Z Of Star Wars: Episode II" was a 25 minute programme consisting of EPK interviews with the cast, documentary footage and scenes from the film edited to form an alphabetic look at the movie (A is for Anakin, B is for bluescreen etc.). I originally posted this footage in 24 parts on theforce.net in VCD format, and also sent some early DVD copies out to a chosen few. When originally recorded onto DV, the image was anamorphic but it had a 4x3 pixel aspect ratio. I have now fixed the aspect ratio and this version is a proper 16x9 transfer (thanks to Adobe Premiere).
Note: The original programme features source material of varying qualities.

Anyhow, for the "techies" out there, the Alec Guinness Biography was broadcast several times during May in the UK (PAL) on the Biography Channel, which broadcasts on the SKY Digital system. The recording was done by a LITEON LVW-5005 in 2 hour record mode.

Rikter has seen another recording I did using exactly the same settings and was quite impressed by the quality.

I'm hoping to release this eventually. I recorded it from Sky Digital on XP mode on my Panny DVD recorder. I've also got the Arena special and Parkinson interview broadcast around the same time.

I do not what prices people around the world have for DL discs but here in Sweden they cost ca $10.

There is a single disc version available via Rikter. Look on myspleen.net and you'll find it. I'm not going to release a SL version as I'm moving with the times and I'm not going to compromise quality. If someone had captured in HD then I'd wait for the next gen of DVD before I released it.

On bh006 for the VH1 special, what happened with the raw TiVo footage and extras I sent that you were going to use on the re-release? Is the footage from DigitalFreakNYC actually better quality? You certainly have my blessing to use that instead if that's the case. However, don't forget to include the bonus interviews from the VH1 site I sent you.

Just making sure. I've been looking forward to seeing your final version of this for a while now.

--SKot

I've compared the two and DigitalFreakNYC's transfer just comes out on top. I've noticed with some TiVo transfers some interlacing issues. I will be including the bonus interviews.

I'm working on DigitalFreakNYC's Indy discs at the moment and as soon as I get the first 3 done I'll be back working on the next 4 re-releases.
