The official Blu-ray has Seamless Branching too - between the Spanish and English versions of the Crawl - and there is no shortage of projects (or MKV files) based on that…

Thanks for clarifying. I apologize for my previous comment. I am not knowledgeable about seamless branching, I thought it presented difficulties that it apparently does not.

I’m Looking forward to your release.

^ that repack is excellent, it has the latest mono synched by Althor.

Are you sure about that?
The big .mkv file is identical to NiceGuy’s (deleted) 'spleen one.
Is there a mono track included in the Repack archive, that’s not muxed into the .mkv ?

hmmm, not really 😃
The one I’m referring to is Althor’s 720p re-encode with the latest mono track only.
I thought that was it.

CowboyNeal.

Googling that was of no help.

I aim to baffle.

It’s a Slashdot reference. A million idiots would race there to post a message on a new item that said “First post”. When Slashdot ran polls, they would usually have a nonsense answer in the poll called “CowboyNeal”, which would usually win.

A likely reference to Neal Cassady AKA Cowboy Neal AKA Dean Moriarity in Jack Kerouac’s “On The Road” and Cody in “Visions of Cody”. Ginsberg was to call “N.C” the secret hero of his poem “Howl”.

While skippin’ through the lily fields,

I came across an empty space.

It trembled and exploded; left a bus stop in its place.

The bus came by and I got on; that’s when it all began.

There was Cowboy Neal at the wheel of the bus to

never-never land.

  • The Grateful Dead

"Cassady is revved up like they’ve never see him before, with his shirt off, a straw version of a cowboy hat on his head, bouncing up and down on the driver’s seat, shifting gears - doubledy-clutch, doubledy-clutch, blamming on the steering wheel and the gearshift box, rapping over the microphone rigged up by his seat like a manic tour guide, describing every car going by. -Tom Wolfe “The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test”

“Obviously the ‘purpose’ of the trip is carefully selected to symbolize the basic fact of purposelessness. Neal is, of course, the very soul of the voyage into pure, abstract meaningless motion. He is The Mover, compulsive, dedicated, ready to sacrifice family, friends, even his very car itself to the necessity of moving from one place to another.”

-William Burroughs to Allen Ginsberg on Neal and his skeptical views of the man and voyage which spurred On The Road

As for the JSC, it should be possible with a fancy player to reframe the picture to cut out the Japanese subtitles.  I bet VLC can do it, and mplayer/mpv with the right options definitely can.

I couldn't figure out how to frame out the subs in VLC. Any tips on how to do it in any of the available windows based media players?

Star Wars: A New Hope [OUT ruLes 2.0] - AVCHD & BD RELEASED!
Time

Now I think I'm seeing some of the misalignment. It is especially noticeable in the Tatooine desert scene where Obi-Wan meets up with Luke. The right edge of Ben's robe has very noticeable ghosting. It's really a bummer because this capture looks sooo good aside from that.

I guess that means it would look even better if it was in perfect alignment? Or is there something else going on here?

If anybody has OUT rules 1.0, could you check those scenes and see if it also has this ghosting?
