I think MoveAlong already offered to post, presumably when the corrected version is available?
sorry I thought you had the corrected version.
Moth3r will you post this to the newsgroups?
DVD-BOY will probably make his own announcement to but he is now heading this project up,he has the capabilities to burn these discs where as I do not,so we can help him do these up,good luck DVD-BOY.
PaulisDead2221 said:I also hope you're using the wonderful 1997 optical capture off the Special Edition laserdisc for the audio. :)
I do not have that audio,if I did I would use it,I have the LD's but if I cap it it won't be using optical and it will be 2.0.
also I am not doing anything with it right now,I have no way to test the files I am making,DVD-BOY probably should take up the project and we help him,I am making files I can't even use,so it is probably silly for me to lead this project.
I must admit though,I sure wouldn't mind getting the Pioneer BDR-203,maybe for Christmas.
plus I wanted to test out Cinevision and it won't even play or encode my avi file,funny this software can't when everything else can.

Any sample clips uploaded anywhere?
a sample would be nice,but I am not jealous,I would be if it was right,but I can wait for a correctly encoded version.
Thanks DVD-BOY but currently I am at a stand still,I have no way to test what I have done,it plays on my PC with PowerDVD but that won't tell me if standalone players will play it,I have a movie only version finished right now with the DD 5.1 & 2.0 audio as well as commentary.
The problem is I can't start deleting files I no longer need(to make room for the next movie)until all is good,so that is where I am at now.
Looks like without menu's and such it is going to weigh in at about 20-21 GB's,I have the video encoded it stands at 19 GB's then I have the English Dolby Digital 5.1 and 2.0,as well as the commentary,and chapters are set to the DVD.DAMN I wish I could test this out!
Does anyone know where to get good SW cellphone wallpapers,I would really like to get a real nice Vader,Storm Trooper,Yoda,hell everyone LOL.
Thanks
ps. good SW ring tones would be nice also.
Yes DVD-BOY now I know what you mean,that would be great if you could copy your notes for me on this placement,it sure would save time,and have it broken down by episode #,thanks for doing this,ESB will be next up for me(yea NO subs LOL) and I to will use the English DD 5.1 on the German version,might as well add the German DD 5.1 and the English DD 2.0 commentary as well.
DVD-BOY said:What order are you doing the films in DJ?
If it's of any help I can send you rough timings for where the subtitles appear in the other films as I go through them myself.
What do you mean timings? I am masking them with AE.
and the order I think I am going to do them in is,ep 4-6,then ep 1-3.
So what audio are we using?
OK then not so easy,I must have read it wrong,I thought it was just reversing and that is it.
So which to use,is the English DD 5.1 ac3 file(on the German broadcast) exactly the same as the 04 DVD or is it different?
By the way the Han and Jaba scene is done(Thanks to Ady,CLP and DVD-BOY for the masking assistance).
ChainsawAsh said:The music in the surround channels throughout ANH is reversed, and the Death Star attack has one music cue that's dialed down so low it's basically inaudible. Plus the dialogue audio levels are all over the place throughout the film. Simply put, the 2004 audio is a mess.
One of these days, I'd like to go through it and fix all the problems while preserving the legitimate "deliberate creative decisions" (the altered Krayt dragon call, Threepio's "We've stopped!", the stormtrooper's "There's no one here!", the static in the THX 1138 scene, etc.) unique to the 2004 version. But then I remember how little I care about the 2004 SE, and how much I hate most of the changes I'd be preserving ...
Damn to bad you didn't fix it,but reversing the left and right surround is not difficult at all,but the rest of it is tricky,so should I use the 5.1 English file from the German version or rip it from the DVD?
So is WG's Star Wars Blu-ray fine? and now a PROPER REISSUE of ESB(Great to hear),and I wonder will he do a PROPER REISSUE of ROTJ?
That scene with Han and Jaba is a pain in the ass,might have to just put the whole English version part in there and forget the masking,but I will try some more to get it to work.
When I say project I just mean converting to NTSC.
Damn,I finished the avi for encoding and forgot the darn scene with Han and Jaba LOL,so I have to do the subs there and then redo the avi.
So what audio should we use for this? is there better audio we should use?
OK well after reading that I think the color is good enough then,to much work as Ady said and I am NO AE expert by any means LOL.
OK I am making some headway now,I have the English crawl edited onto the German version(Thanks Ady for the cut points)and I used AE mask tools to put the English Greedo subs on the German version(Thanks again Ady and DVD-BOY)as well,so my avisynth script is ready to make a final lossless avi before encode,so are we going to leave this video untouched?
because if we are going to do anything with the video,color,brightness,etc. let me know what we should do,Star Wars didn't have any color issues did it?I thought it was only ESB and ROTJ.
speak up
OH and 1 more thing,I went to the website of DoStudio and there is no trial download.
Nevermind,I got it,had to access it through IE,Firefox would not show the form.
Yes it is a big time noticeable difference,I want to use the German version as much as possible.
and thanks for the mask tip but you are telling this to someone who has never used AE,so a tiny sample tut would be extremely helpful right now,because I am SURE once I do this a first time,I will be good to go,I should have done ESB first LOL,no subs.
Well I am all for helping and getting help LOL,just as soon as I get this crawl figured out,Thanks Ady,then I need someone to help me with masking in After Effects,for the subtitle parts.
I am working on the crawl right now,next up subs,so paging Dr Ady,paging Dr Ady,unless anyone else has done After Effect masking work.
@ Adywan,
I hope you are following this thread,I sent you a PM yesterday but you probably did not see it,I have edited in the English crawl into the German version,the first edit point is very easy,I just started it right before "A long time ago......."where the screen is solid black,but the second edit point is going to be tricky,where did you do your second cut?
The reason I ask is because the stars on the German version are so much bigger and brighter,i really sticks out,I tried right after the crawl disappears,then right when the camera pans down and I do not like either of them spots,to noticeable,so where did you edit it to keep it flowing better?
Thanks
Well DVD-BOY you have a lot more in store for your Blu-ray versions than I do,you are talking shit way over my head,I can author DVD's,I have never authored Blu-ray before(this will be a learning experience for me),so all this talk of pop up menu's,extra pic track,that is not going to happen on mine.
So maybe you should take over and we will help you.

We don't even have the audio yet LOL,also bumping thread so it don't get lost.
budwhite said:How is the audio from the broadcast? Same mix as the '04 DVDs I presume?
Not sure yet,I am only working with the video's right now.
