Is this when you're verifying or burning?  If it's when you're verifying, try it out anyway.

I've had error messages in imgburn on many occasions during verification, and the final discs have played perfectly.  I've never downloaded the sample, though.

 well duh, It did work all the time, I never thought it would burn so fast so I figure it was the burning and not the verifying that was wrong.

I'm not used to imgburn, don¨t know if I ever burned anything before with it.

thanks anyway

"Now i can't guarantee that this format will play on every Blu-Ray player so i have made a small sample, that you will need to burn to a DVD, that you can test to see if your player is compatible before getting the release. You will waste a DVD-5 for just a few minutes of movie but it will save you wasting a DVD-9 anyway. Instructions on how to burn are included but its just an iso but burn with Imgburn because it gives a better compatibility than Nero (Nero UDF files system 2.50, which blu-ray is, is messed up and caused the disc to be unreadable in most cases). You don't really need to download this if you have a PS3 but if you want to be on the safe side (its been tested without any problems on a UK PS3 using the latest firmware - 2.41)

I just watched a few minutes of it.(d/l from a.b.starwars) Very decent looking, better than I thought it would be. But is the aspect ratio correct? I had thicker black bars than usual on my 32" WS TV.

The bottom of the print Puggo telecined was severely cropped. Therefore the black bars have to be bigger to maintain proper AR.

 

aha, must have missed that info earlier.

Thanks to anyone involved. Pretty cool release.

Making our own 35mm preservation--my crazy proposal
Time

Lets say this take a year of hard work and money for the ones involved. And than Lucas relases the Blu-ray in 2011 including the unaltered trilogy. It is possible after all, however, not likely in my opinon.

 

I guess my point being if this project is ever to see the light of day it should be done fast.

 

Also, if this, somehow, would be scanned in HD. Then it really puts Lucas in a position that he has to release the orginal on Blu-ray.  I mean what a dissaster and an ambarrassament for him, if a fan project turned up in that (presumable)great quality

... reversing the left and right surround is not difficult at all...

From what I remember, it's only the music in the rear channels that is reversed - the sound effects are correctly positioned. So, in order to fix the issue, you would need to isolate the music from the effects. Not easy.

Sometimes I wonder how people could notice things like this.

 

Seems like the wrong place to wonder this...

 

heh heh

 

Front channels is one thing but the rears, no way I would have noticed.  I do have a cheap 6.1 system though.

adding LFE to GOUT (Released)
Time
hairy_hen said:

I've uploaded the LFE channel as a FLAC file for anyone who wants it.  To use, simply combine with the 1993 PCM soundtrack from Belbecus.  It already has the 1.017 seconds of silence at the beginning, so make sure your PCM has this at the beginning as well.  Then simply load your wavs for each channel into the AC3 encoder of your choice.  For those without high-end software, I recommend Aften (or a gui thereof) as it's free and easy to use.  I encoded as 2/0 + LFE format at 448 kbps, to preserve the best possible quality for DVD.  If you have the ability to derive 4 or 5 channels from the stereo mix, using some kind of ProLogic/ProLogic 2 emulation software, feel free to do so.

If you are working on a GOUT-synched preservation project using HD footage and creating a custom 5.1 mix using the '93 and '97 soundtracks, please feel free to use this if it's to your liking.  (lol)

How the hell do I get aften to work? There aint no program files in that map?
