I meant that I googled that shot to give a visual reference of what shot I meant. I didn't specifically Google the DEED.
The one thing in v1 that stuck out the most to me as a concern was this shot:
There is jitter between the sarlacc's mouth and and the outer portion of the shot.
EDIT: Nevermind that the corners of the frame on this screenshot are curved. I just googled to find this image, as I am at work and don't have the film on hand to screenie it myself.
Yes, because using 50 GB of HDD space for a single film among the many one has in one's library is totally normal and not at all a waste of space for most people. Not to mention the amount of local bandwidth it would use to stream such a film between an AppleTV and iTunes.
I prefer Media Player Classic over VLC because MPC can hide various parts of its interface at the press of a single button, it's able to easily hide any letterboxing (ie. black bars), and the player borders can snap to the video frame edges if you want. If you have any codec issues, just download the Combined Community Codec Pack.
VLC's only benefits over MPC, for my use, are that it has the necessary codecs already self-contained, so it makes for a very good /portable/ player; and its codec output info page, for such as finding the aspect ratio or bitrate, is easier to find and is laid out better.

he was certain that the subtitles for the scene between Jabba and Boushh had been altered at some point
In a nutshell, he recalls one of the subtitles containing a four-letter word.
The conversation with Boushh wasn't subtitled. 3PO was translating.
If you're referring to the conversation with Han just after he thawed, then no, it always said "Bantha fodder" in the subtitles. EDIT: Scratch that. Yes, there were subtitles. I'm an idiot. :/ But I don't know what else would have been substituted from Jabba's dialogue.

Like many others, I registered just to say thank you to Harmy and the rest of the Original Trilogy users contributing to this effort. Just finished watching ESB v2.0 and I will join the chorus declaring it amazing! As someone who grew up on the original cuts of these films, it is truly heartwarming to see them properly restored to their original state. Thank you for that!
I did have a question thought - still trying to get my hands on Star Wars v2.5. 1.0 looks great, but would love to see the latest version. Is there a torrent available somewhere?
Go to TPB and do a search for 'despecialized'
Get a Myspleen invite.
EDIT: I PM'd you with one.

The Despecialized restorations are at 720p because that is what the Blu-ray transfers practically resolve to.
[whiney_voice]Aww, but I wanted Harmy to release it in 4K!!!!![/whiney_voice]

I'm assuming I can just make my own DVD5 from the AVCHD or MKV. I have DVDfab so that might do. I don't do much with DVD anymore. I mean... DVD? Really? But so many people I know have no desire to go up. They are all streaming pukey Netflix.
To be frank though, you can very likely find a good bluray player at a nearby store for 50 bucks, and DVD movies are becoming harder and harder to find.
Not upgrading to Bluray by now seems a bit silly considering the low price point for basic, non-smart models; plus the fact that if one were to ask for a movie for birthday or Christmas, they would very likely receive it on Bluray (as happened to me a couple of years ago, prompting my eBay purchase of a PS3 slim).

Since it is usually wise to do the opposite of what Nearsighted Scrappile says, I think Harmy should go into hiding.
Watch out for space slugs.

No more changes or enhancements will be made apart from what is left to do.
If I may ask, what is that exactly?
Wow, I've been away too long. I didn't know ESBDE 2.0 was finished.
Downloading now.
[snip] wrong thread.
The original version of the film ought to be considered as the version that was first theatrically released. That means, in this case, that there are 3 original audio mixes. Neither one is more original than the other.
Do you have the AVCHD version?
Thanks for fixing those lights. They look fantastic now.
Also, I think the honorable mention credits should be sorted in order of the number of posts each person has made in this thread, and where that number is equal, they should then be sorted by the distance each person lives from Harmy. :P
(I'm kidding. I'm neither serious nor do I mean offense.)
I'm not sure where to get the WIP...
can someone tell me that this is fixed?:

If you're going to go back and fix ESB:DE, the one thing I notice most that could be fixed is the saturation level of the red lights.
I don't currently have the WP. And not that I actually care about a couple of pixels, but can someone post a screenshot of exactly what everyone is complaining about?
Really the biggest issue I had with v1.0 is the bleeding/crushed reds from light sources.
I'm late to this discussion. Rounded corners on what?

I'm finished with my OT covers.
I updated the back cover of "Star Wars" (aka. "A New Hope") to have a paragraph break where the original version was missing one.
Also, the ROTJ cover is done, with Yoda and Chewie on the back. I could have put Vader, but then he'd be the only bad guy; and really Chewie does play a big role in the Trilogy (especially by providing the key turning point of the ground campaign at the Battle of Endor). Albeit, his character is usually overshadowed by Han.
I'm going to include .psd versions of the files for anyone who wants to make personal edits (such as adding "Episode IV" and "A New Hope" to the Star Wars cover and "V"/"VI" to the ESB/ROTJ spines, or else changing the Harmy credit to Adywan or something.)
There /are/ roman numerals on the spines and other such things like that in the PSDs, but their layers are just hidden in favor of the covers being used for Harmy's edition.

Also, for anyone who cares (and for myself for future reference) the font used for my crawl is called "Franklin Gothic Medium Condensed" and the font for the text on the spine is called "Trajan Pro".

*sigh.* Well, I have an iPad 1. I hate the damn thing, as well I hate iTunes, but if it will help you guys to break the DRM on what you feel to be the superior version of the Making of Star Wars ebook, then I will buy it and try to break it for you. Too bad we aren't using the Kindle version, because I could fix that in nothing flat.

UPDATE: Nevermind, just downloaded an iBook sample and the iBook is CLEARLY better and higher resolution. Some photos in the Kindle edition are pixelated, and crystal clear on the iBook. Kind of miffed that the difference wasn't advertised, however, can't complain to be paying $12.99 twice for this collection of amazing content.
Ugh. Is there any way to download the iBook version and use it on my kindle?
Unfortunately, no. Nobody has broken the DRM yet. It's a bear.
Are you sure?
Wouldn't this help?:

I have plenty of books on my Kindle, and I edit the metadata and formatting on nearly all of them to my liking with Calibre. This, of course, requires me to break the DRM on them in order to do so. I've never had need to break DRM on an iBook file before, but if it can be done, you can bet Alf's blog will give you the low down on it.
re: the Star Wars vs. A New Hope discussion, I often refer to it as "the original Star Wars" or else if I say "Star Wars" and they say "which one?" I say "original".
It's less confusing to say "original" than to say "first."

Hey, I was wondering if I was the only one who has left the TTG forums. It's sad how after BTTF everything kinda went to hell over there. Back around S&M and ToMI times it was one of my main communities over there, and now I don't even like the new design...
No one likes the new design. We told the staff we all hated it, and they didn't listen to us. So we left. The Walking Dead fans also left and even started their own forum elsewhere.
I know this is completely off topic for this project, but just to explain to everyone else, a short time ago Telltale Games changed their forums to have threaded discussions (like Reddit), use Markdown instead of BBCode, and have thumbs up/thumbs down buttons for each post (like Youtube).
The community moderators all told them during the closed beta for the site that it was a bad idea and they hated it; everyone else told them during and long after the open beta for the site that it was a bad idea and we hated it. But, they did it anyway, and nearly everyone who regularly hung out there has now left.

I came here originally because Darth Marsden at the Telltale Games forums (now at Double Fine; we all moved forums after TTG screwed theirs up) brought up Adywan's ANH:R in the middle of a communal rant on George Lucas.
I was wondering where everyone went! Now it's just full of new people threatening TT and demanding refunds because this was their first TT launch day experience. =P
There a specific sub-forum everyone hangs out in over at DF?
