Finally grabbed Ep 1. The compression artifacts seem extra bad in this one :(. It almost looks like dvd! Shame, as the colour correction is great. I can never decide which versions to watch, the original german broadcasts are miles ahead quality wise but the german crawls are damn annoying!
Arrgh so many versions to pick from. I want the best quality but the colour correction of Adywans releases are so tempting! Why isnt there a full bitrate colour corrected version? AVC-HD discs are so quick and easy to convert to from x264 mkv anyway just start with that in the first place! Hmmmm.

When you say Blu-Ray format, are we talking full 50gb (or thereabouts) m2ts h264 releases? Amazing. I'll end up mkv'ing them myself due to storage constraints, but regardless I really can't wait.
Keep up the good work! Be sure to post the NZB when they're done :p.
EDIT: I notice in the empire samples currently up on usenet, the AR is incorrect? Well, by that I mean its a 16:9 encode with black bars to make a 2.20:1 letterbox. I assume this will be fixed in the final release? No point encoding that extra res, waste of bandwidth surely? And it could be a pain for those with anamorphic projector setups.
Blu-ray standards are 16:9. If this were a basic internet release then the letterboxing should be cut, but it's not. Incorrectly letterboxed Blu-rays will appear stretched vertically on the screen.
Well I was not aware of that! Seems a bit silly to me nowadays!

Will it be for both ANH and ESB:R? When can we expect them Adywan?
Hi Adywan,
I was wondering about this too the other day. I know you did have problems with your upload limits imposed by your ISP, which were delaying this.
i've decided just to stick to what the project was originally which was AVCHD's so i'm not going to bother with mkv high bitrate releases. I've just got too much on at the moment to be doing several versions for each movie. if the rest of the saga ever gets completed is anyone's guess at the moment
Fair enough, is there an easy way to convert the AVCHD's to an mkv? I'm quite happy to do that at my end obviously, I just find a mkv a more convienient container (Although i Do have a PS3).
Can't wait for ROTJ. I'm sure, as soon as its done its going to be prompting a lot of Star Wars marathons around the globe :p.

Yet another request as to where i can find all of these? Preferably usenet, although i have scoured 200 days back and can't get them.
Any hints guys?
I to am trying to obtain the best HDRips, the big wookie groomer ones in particular.
I have astraweb usenet access and newzbin access, but the prequel trilogy is to old to download, and the original is not even appearing in searches, anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks for any help.
