back on topic, the one thing that has pissed me off EVEN MORE about the addition of the NOOOOOOOO in ROTJ, is that they have almost removed  Lukes line " Father... .." just so they can add this crap. So basically now he no longer hears his sons final cry out for help and makes the turn, he just turns. Fuck me Lucas, what the hell is going on with you? It is still there, just barely, but so quiet and gets drowned out by vaders first Nooo

Well it looks like we are going to have to do some audio editing on these new Blu's right Ady?

Damn, now this has made it to my Comcast\xfinity homepage LOL,

The trolls over at blu-ray.com are now on a serious mission to get me banned. Some have informed the moderators that i ahve been offering 720 fan edit rips of the blu-rays over there and have been promoting my work also. None of these things i have done. Hell, i haven't even got a 720p version of my Revisited edits to offer anyone, so it shows they are just blowing smoke out of their asses. You can bet its the usual suspects there. I find it funny that, because i have mentioned the blu-ray rips and most people have only the 720p versions, that they thinks that this is what i have and thought it would be a good excuse to try and say that i am offering edits of the blu-ray rips., well sorry guys, my copies are 1080p and i certainly have no intention of doing any edits of the blu-rays apart from using parts as a base for my revisited edits.

Damn, not only have they been mentioning you, but I have seen my name and Harmy brought up a few times today as well, good thing I do not use the name Dark Jedi there, not that I care actually, because they include me in the "edits" talk, and I do not do edits.

LMAO! there are some at blu-ray.com actually giving shout outs to Adywan, Dark Jedi , and Harmy, for keeping the UOT alive, but the second these are posted, they are deleted, damn they waste NO time, and are FAST LOL!

DAMN I hope those are a joke LOL, as much as this would piss me off(because then I would have to edit them out) but those are to damn funny LMAO! I was laughing more than pissed.

Not sure if anyone cares, but I have decided to make a fixed track for the US Universal release as well, don't really want to alienate them LOL, not everyone imports.

I seriously feel raped.

My defense of people's outrage stops right there.  Can we PLEASE retire this phrase?

I don't like to agree with you to much Frink, but this time I do, that is one stupid ass line.

well if all these issues being brought up are true, then this indeed is very disappointing, looks like I will have to do some DTS-HD MA audio editing on these as well now, DAMN!

Yes that is right, you are going to have to rip the uncut version and then ALL files will sync to it, you can't leave it "as is" because it is in chunks on the BD, I really hate when they do that but I guess they have to because of the censoring in some parts LOL, and you do not have the US Universal version right? so you have the FOX version, so it will work, no doubts, because the HK FOX version is exactly the same.

You could also use Tsmuxer to do this, just open the correct mpls(look at the run time) and demux the video portion(but before you close it, go to the Blu-ray tab and copy and paste the chapters) then once finished, open Tsmuxer again and add the video in that you just demuxed, then the new DTS-HD MA 5.1 track and then add the new DTS-HD MA 2.0 Iso score track, I also added the commentary because it is just hilarious as hell LOL, then go to the Blu-ray tab again, click on custom chapters, then paste back in the chapters from the retail BD, then mux, wallah, a new BD with all the new tracks and the chapters in the same position as the retail, and ALL in 100% sync!

1 more thing though, if you are needing to burn a new BD, and need it to be in BD25 size, then use a KICK ASS program called BD-Rebuilder, it is free, and it will take the new BD you just made and re-encode it to fit an a BD25, it won't take long because it is not that much bigger, and you won't lose any video quality, I see NO difference between my retail and my new.

hope this helps, if you need anymore help, just ask away.

OH, and LOL, that Great Sword is UGLY, I love my Conan Atlantean Sword, and it is real, and really sharp, and really heavy, I have to oil it regularly, my second favorite swords are my Twinkle and Icing Death swords, followed by my Ninja Sword, LOL I love blades!

SteveE said:

Could any kind peeps seed this? Got the entire trilogy of version 3 ready to download over night in the UK - but no seeders!

LOL, are you sure you are on the right torrents? ALL 3 are very well seeded still, I just now checked, Star Wars has 24 seeders, Empire Strikes Back has 19 seeders, and Return of The Jedi has 20 seeders, that should be more than enough to get all 3 over night.

timdiggerm said:

But was the picture letterboxed? If not.... could it have been DJ's v3 or something? Harmy's Despecialized?

LOL, I doubt it was mine, my Set is not that popular, my projects are only known by you guys here, not any where else.

skyjedi2005 said:

At what bitrate is the audio for the mono mix and 77 stereo on the blu ray, same as the limited LPCM as belbecus created?

I wish there was a true 77 blu ray from Lucas with the mono mix in HD, but the chance of that scenario happening is less than zero.

I am going to be buying an HDTV and Blu ray player for the official discs, so i might as well watch this space for dark jedi's blu set availability.

This is what it is, and it is the same, I can only use what we have available to us, The 1977 SW Mono is in Dolby Digital Mono @ 128kbps and LPCM, and the 1977 SW Theatrical 2.0 is in Dolby Digital 2.0 @ 256kbps and LPCM.

Mielr please check your PM's, hopefully you can help me out here, and I also asked The Aluminum Falcon to go ahead and give me a list of "bad frames" I have changed my mind and would like to see what I missed, granted NOT all of these can be fixed.

Thank you very much whaleman for the review, it is very nice to read them.

Also whaleman and The Aluminum Falcon, PLEASE check your PM's, Thanks.

Mielr said:

d_j, I know you're working on another project but I'm just wondering if you had a chance to compare the V3 & Blu editions of ESB to see if you see that skin-tone bleeding thing I noticed in the medical frigate scene on the Blu edition.

Has anyone else had a chance to look for it?

Just curious.

NO, I have not compared to the V3, I do not have any of those files on my PC anymore and frankly I do not care to look at them anymore(the V3 stuff) and I looked at all the sections you gave to me in the PM, and I see none of it but the whitish kind of outline on the right side of the crawl, but I can tell you that I am not revisiting these, you are the only one that can see them, and I have looked several times, who knows maybe it is because I do not want to mess with them anymore, I am to SW burned out.

The newsgroups I may do, not 100% sure yet, I still read here that some just do not get it, or will not try it, or just don't understand how to use it, hell or maybe all the above, so learn it, this may be the way I go, I am leaning more towards this method.

DISCLAIMER: I only just discovered this thread. And I've read a few pages in fascination.

What brought me was the posting of the V3 DVDs on a.b.sw.

I understand that the quote above concerns only the Blu-ray discs, but a few minutes ago was the first time I'd ever heard about the DVDs either. So I ask only in curiosity...

dark_jedi, is it you who's posting the DVD versions? Not that it matters, I suppose, but I want to tell you that I'll be downloading them. Wasn't at all sure (there are a LOT of Star Wars edits and preservations!) but the opinions here make it seem more than justified.

Thank you for your good work -- some of which I've seen before, and more of which I'll soon be downloading.

(And I will say these about the newsgroups: they offer wide propagation and (with a higher-level provider) a sense of permanence. Both good things.)

NO it is not, and I have NO idea who is, and with a dumb post name like "Hey it's me" I have no way of telling, but I thought people gave each other the heads up when re posting others work in other areas, not that I mind at all, but a courtesy PM or something is usually pretty nice, I also see someone has now compressed the hell out of the FULL DVD's and is posting them at Spleen, again no PM or anything, and my God those have to look like shit! that is way to much to compress LOL.

I guess I am just going to have to get over how much different this Community is now, compared to the way it used to be, it is way different now, and I will stop my thoughts on this right there.

So NO, it is not me on the newsgroups, and it is not me at Spleen, and I guess courtesy PM's are now out of the question, OH well.

My GOD man, it is NOT about ignoring reality, but it is not something to chat about, I have never sat around with my SW buddies and started talking about GL passing away just so I may have a chance at the UOT, or talked about dying in general with my Friends period, I mean what the hell? I would rather talk about what movie to see next? what video game to play next? who are you dating now? how is your Wife and Kids? but never death talk.

Guess that's what makes the world go 'round, now innit? My friends and I talk about EVERYTHING. Nothing is off-limits. I'm not about having superficial relationships that only exist around movies and video games. Theres a bit more to life than that.
And, considering I'm gay, I have no wife or kids.

 

All I am trying to say is there are A LOT better things to talk about with your Friends, Family and Significant other, than death LOL, or discussing the death of someone so you could possibly benefit from, with a particular movie or CD.

OH, and I don't care that you are Gay, that doesn't affect me at all, I am not bothered by it, if it doesn't bother you, why should it me, so I do not know why you threw that out there.

Man, I'd seriously love to crash blu-ray.com right now. What a bunch of assholes.

LOL, what did you expect? the second you brought up GL dying so that the UOT can be released, I knew you were going to get suspended, whether you were hoping for his death or not, it is bad form either way, so this really should be no surprise really that this happened, I mean I am not, I saw it coming.

Nah. I'm not surprised in the least. They're just so freakin' annoying. I let my temper get the best of me. ;)

It's probably "inappropriate" for their forums...but, as I stated, we talk about that on the Madonna forums all the time. Once she's dead, things will change. I'm not wishing death on anyone. I'm just stating my opinion of what will happen.

 

Well we all have our own thoughts on this, but I personally think it is inappropriate for any Forums myself, I know I do not like to read about that kind of stuff at all, I mean I know we are all going to "die" as you say it, but we do not need to talk about it, especially when it is about getting movies released, OH well I said enough, I need to get back out of this thread.

That's interesting.

I guess I'll go back to not ignoring reality, then?

You forgot to emphAsize the "A" in "HeArd" =P

Sorry, I missed it because it was lower case.

The Griff said:

P.S. I am also interested in your NOTLD project and would love to follow your progress (though I suspect it wouldn't be so easy to share that one).

Well I was able to fix the missing 30+ second part easy enough, but unfortunately I could not use the DTS-HD MA 2.0 audio and keep the retail BD structure, somewhere in the BD structure it must tell what everything is(I am guessing the .mpls file) damn I wish I knew where it was, seems like you could edit or modify it to accept whatever, but maybe not LOL.

I was however able to extract the lossless wav files from the HD audio and encode a new DD 2.0 track at the same bitrate as the existing and just swap it out, so long story short, it is done, the video is fixed, and the retail BD structure is fully intact, complete with warnings, menu, slideshow, etc.

I have to admit LOL, I REALLY like my new DTS-HD MA 5.1 track for Conan, I have watched this movie like 5 times already just to listen to the cool ass score, plus it is a GREAT movie, at least to me anyways, or I would not have bought this baby a few years a go from Thaxted England, it is all hand forged, hand etched, this thing is a work of art!

A is for Amber Heard in Drive Angry!

DanishDVDfreak said:

All these cool covers just make me want this set more and more !

But I have to be honest...every time people ask if these are gonna be uploaded or in some other way "distributed", it seems to be ignored.

Is there just some people that got the set, and no plans to spread it beyond that ? I mean if thats the case, I would understand. It would be a shame, but if this is the case, at least level with the rest of us.

Please dont hate me for asking this...I mean no disrespect to anyone :)

WOW, after reading this, I am going to try real hard here to answer this without giving serious attitude, but yes, they are getting ignored now, I have already said several times when I figure out HOW I am going to release these, then, and only then, will I say how and when, for shits sake, the last of the testers just received there Set a couple days ago, this Set was just finished, I mean I understand the excitement for something new, but when I read comments like the bold part above, it doesn't make me feel real well about the situation, and don't even get me started on some of the PM's I have been getting, all I can say is unbelievable, where were all you guys that want to donate blanks now, back when I was needing\accepting them LOL.

I mean back in the day we always had trading we here at OT could do, but that really does not work for me now because there is nothing here I am interested in, so don't ask anymore about trading me this edit, or that edit, I am not interested at all, sorry.

So I will say this one more time and hope that you guys understand me, these Discs are 22.5 GB's a piece, and uploading to a fileshare service is OUT OF THE QUESTION, I hate these services, and it seems links are always going down or disappearing, so NO way, sorry.

The newsgroups I may do, not 100% sure yet, I still read here that some just do not get it, or will not try it, or just don't understand how to use it, hell or maybe all the above, so learn it, this may be the way I go, I am leaning more towards this method.

PIF, which is pay it forward, this was mentioned by someone in a post above, for example, I burn a Set for someone, that that guy burns a couple Sets, for a couple people and so on, well anyone that knows me from my posts, knows I am 100% totally against this, I have personally been screwed over before on this several times back in the day and will NEVER rely on someone else to share my work again, sorry.

I have also been tossing around torrents, and obviously I would put them up at Myspleen if I go this route, but this is going to be SO much to upload, I know the Disc is 22.5 GB's, but you ALWAYS upload way more than that before there are other seeders, and then you have the fucking hit and runners, which I guess I should not worry about because there is nothing I can do about it anyways, but it still pisses me off LOL badly!

So there you have it, they will show up at some point either on the groups, or Spleen, just give me some more time, hell all the testers have not even chimed in yet, and I am assuming some probably won't or they would have by now.

Over and Out
