Hi all,
On Myspleen, there are 3 torrents of SW:DE 2.0.
- 16.06GB MKV
- 7.9GB AVCHD DVD9
- 4.29GB DVD5
Are these Harmy's original versions, or did he make the 16GB MKV and someone else converted them?
And, if anyone knows, what's the difference (besides picture quality, I guess)?

What about MySpleen?
I don't have a Myspleen account/invite.
I would like one, though.
Also, Harmy, forgive me for saying so, but those 2.1 screenshots look really rather blue.
Harmy said:
Well, I never made an mkv of ESB and ROTJ, so you downlaoded something weird. How big are they?
The MKV's are from torrents. The only currently seeded torrents that I could readily find. They're approximately 6.75GB (SW/ROTJ) and 6.87GB (ESB) each.
I've run them through Handbrake, and it drops them to around 2GB, give or take, so it would seem that they are probably not compressed further from your AVCHDs.
I had assumed that the MKVs were yours, given that your OP on this thread says SW:DE 2.0 is available as MKV.

CONTAINER: MKV
SIZE: 15.7GB
What I would do is just to have Harmy's version and add this to the beginning of it.

Mind sharing what stretch 009 sent you? I can't find the AVCHD DVD9 version of Harmy's ESB or RotJ anywhere either.
He gave me links to torrents of Empire. I was going to respond by saying that it wasn't the DVD9 version because the filesize wasn't as big as the Star Wars DE 2.0 torrent is... but then I realized just how stupid I am.
DVD9 is called such because dual layer DVDs have close to a capacity of 9GB. DVD5's are similarly named because single layer DVDs have close to a capacity of 5GB. I already knew this, I was just an idiot and forgot.
The DeSpec v1.0 torrents I was finding, while indeed MKV's, are 6.75GB and 6.89GB in size, which will not fit on a DVD5. [edit]Also, the 15.7GB Star Wars DE 2.0 torrent will not fit on a DVD9; it has to be burned to a Bluray.[/edit]
Also, while the files I found are MKV's and not ISO's (even SW:DE 2.0), I ran them through Handbrake which reduced them to significantly smaller sizes. As such, it would appear that said torrents are the originals made by Harmy; they just aren't in ISO format. They still can be burned to disc, it just takes a bit more work.
Yeah, okay. I'm an idiot.
I'm really very VERY interested in this. However, I would love it if you would include the film version of Lapti Nek with vocals.
Is there an AVCHD DVD9 version still available? I can only find the DVD5 version on tehparadox or torrent.

Also, did you know that there is a browser plugin that changes all Youtube comments to "herp derp"?

umm... Why can't this happen instead:

Can someone actually involved in the project start a "Revisited Saga" thread? I feel awkward doing it because it's not mine to start... but it gets hard to "stay on topic" because the current revisited thread seems to be the home for all Revisited Saga discussion. It's seems strange to jump halfway through a discussion to a different thread that arguably way fewer people check on a regular basis...
It seems a much better idea.

Harmy,
on the DVD version of Star Wars:DeSpec, the whites while onboard the Blockade Runner seem rather hard and with a bit of a yellowish tint (at least in comparison to GOUT and to Adywan's Revisited)
Are you redoing overall color correction with your newer versions, or are you mostly doing tweaks? I really would love it if you made the whites softer during those scenes.
He has retimed practically every shot to ressemble the colors on an IB technicolor print - basically a print from the 70s that has not faded and has given us a very faithful look at what the film looked like when it first came out. Keep that in mind when you watch 2.0 and you feel like it's pushed a bit green or a bit too blue in certain shots.
That's how it looked.
mkay.
I was just saying that such as in this comparison, I thought the whites needed less yellow and to be softer:

Does anyone have version 2 of the Superman II Hybrid Cut? How does it compare?
The version I have is version 1.
Is version 2 still available? I was lucky to even get version 1 on a torrent.
tbh, I would rather VobSubs were cyan than squished. Out of curiosity, what is it about the ANH:R VobSub metadata that keeps it from converting to MP4 properly?
Oh, and by the way, the reason why I use MP4s is because AppleTV's use MP4s, and I'm not interested in forcing myself to limit my options of what digital media reciever I can get in future because I chose to use an incompatible container.
Molly said:
MP4 supports multiple audio too. It just isn't as capable of handling embedded subtitles.
MP4's have issues with embedded subtitles? Is that why my MP4 encodes (made with Handbrake) have VobSubs which, in Media Player Classic, are shown as cyan instead of the original white or yellow:
or else have the correct color but are squished when not fullscreen?
I would be ecstatic if someone could tell me how to fix this (without telling me to use VLC. I like MPC better.)
I watched L8wrtr’s Ep. 3 “Dawn of the Empire” fan edit a few days ago, and in it he made Palpatine to “reveal” his “true form” (ie. white and wrinkly) instead of having his appearance change as a result of his force lightning rebounding on himself.
Now, I have an older version of Stankpac’s edit (v3.1) which I considered as definitive except for the stupid Yoda-Dance DVD menu. This edit had Palpatine change appearance as a result of the lightning. When I got Stankpac’s 3.2 version, the menu had changed but he had also changed Palpatine to “reveal” himself similar to L8wrtr. In his changelog, he gives credit to Kerr for it.
I think I like the force-lightning-rebound better because the movies (nevermind the extended universe) never discuss how being a Sith changes your appearance, nor do they allude to that Palpatine’s appearance is false. As a result, his “reveal” is rather a WTF moment in my opinion. Why do so many people like a “reveal” better than a backfire?
What do you prefer and why?

Before Vader kills the younglings Palpatine entertains them
This is equally extremely hilarious and the most disturbing thing I think I've ever seen in my life.
How do you know it's an antenna part? It's never seen being broken off.
When Luke walks the plank in ROTJ, insert a sound effect when he catapults back up again. *BOOIOIOIOING!*
You know, I always wondered about the scene where Luke's hand falls from underneath Cloud City. It always seemed to me as though his severed hand was not seen lying at or near the place where Luke stopped at after sliding through the tube when falling away from Vader. The "floor" underneath him opens up and then the hatch on the underside of the city opens to expel him; Luke grasps the antenna and then the camera cuts downward to let us see his hand and/or lightsaber falling, but we never see it falling or resting at any place before it is seen under the city.
It always made me wonder where it came out, and if it did come out at the same place Luke did at the same time Luke did, why we didn't at least see it falling out when the city's outer hatch first opened.
It may (perhaps) have taken a slightly different route than Luke did, but given that he sees it directly below him, it obviously ended at the same place, so why isn't it seen falling from the outer hatch (or perhaps being dislodged from the antenna)?
All of the .7z files are part of the same archive. If you extracted one file you extracted them all, because if you didn't have all the appropriate files your extractor would have complained. If you really want to find out if you needed it, you can move that file elsewhere on your hard drive and try extracting again to see if your extractor complains or not.
In any event, now that you have successfully extracted the files from the archive it doesn't matter anymore whether or not you know you needed the file (though I'm sure you did.)
BTW, Good job Harmy. I downloaded the SD version and it looks great.

Would anyone be able to post the DVD5 (Standard Definition) version of this on myspleen? so far only ESB is available as SD there, and I dont have a bluray player :( if anyone who has it could post it there you get to be my new hero, thanks all!!
idk about myspleen, but I was able to download it from megaupload just fine.
Great job, Harmy.
I have an issue with the wobbliness and blurriness of the Sarlacc pit after Jabba says "move him into position." I do hope you fix this at some point, as if you did I would consider this to be near perfect.
As it stands, this is my version of choice when watching JEDI. I'm, impressed. Very, very well done.

No thank you. I much prefer the original dialogue.
