Star Wars OT & 1997 Special Edition - Various Projects Info (Released)
Time

OK, a while back I got a little tutorial on how to encode with x264(from ChainsawAsh) to make MKV files and such, well now I can't find it, does anyone have a how to on this? maybe while waiting on the Jedi subs, and I will have the Jedi Theatrical audio done today, I will try an encode for an MKV.

1 more thing, hopefully this will be in the how to, but when you make these MKV's do you crop out the black bars or are they left? and how are they made anamorphic?

I use BD-RB ALL the time for my BD's and stuff so I know the x264 codec is the shit! really GREAT results.

As I earlier thought could be the case, it was on a single line. :) Theater Performance Edition it is, sorry, Fritz. ;)

You'll have to wait at least a week for it d_j.

That is OK, like I said, I can get the other 2 done and have ALL files ready to go for Jedi when the subs are done, better to get it right now instead of wishing we did it later, know what I mean?

I think I figured out how to fix the Jedi subs myself, I believe all I had to do was add the interlace=true to all the lines and now it is good to go, msycamore let me know if there is more to it than that.

 

Well, the reason I'm waiting for Video Collector's Jedi bootleg, is to finally see what the true line breaks and timings were on the theatrical prints.

Damn now I remember you saying that before, my bad, I forgot about that, I can wait a little longer, still have some audio work to do to and at least I can get SW and ESB to DVD now, do you have any idea when you will be getting this bootleg?

Looks great. :-)

Just curious- all the screenshots so far have looked "squished" to me- is that just ImageShack doing that?

They are squeezed 720x480, they have not been encoded to 16:9 yet, this is the lossless avi, to see it unsqueezed you take an image and resize to 854x480 that is what it would be anamorphic.

Give us a few screenshots with stars in them.  The biggest problem with the ROTJ GOUT is that the stars look blue, which is kind of annoying.  If that can be rectified without screwing up the rest of the movie, that would be amazing.

I seriously doubt there will be a setting to fix that, because EVERY time I look at the beginning I see them damn blue stars no matter what I throw at it.

Hell, if we find a setting that makes the colors pop a little, unfortunately it will probably make the stars better to, and not in a good way.

LOL guys this is just a starting point, but I am still messin with it, and if nothing comes up good, well I guess the re render will be for the subs only, no biggie.

and it is not this tweak vs V3 pick which one now, it is give me some things to try while waiting for the sub script.

Also for the record, I agree with you guys, this starting point sux.

I used to smoke Benson And Hedges Superqueens :-D

In the UK, Eire and Australasia calling smokes fags is common parlance.

We get a hoot when you refer to your backsides as fannies as it means something quite different over here.

Most of us don't use the word "fannies" we use ass or butt, fanny sounds to femmy.

But to get on topic LOL, Good luck with your quitting CA.
