it's hard not to be excited about even the slightest rumor but I wish they would've at least gone into a bit more detail about their sources. Maybe the sources wanted to remain anonymous which is also understandable.
OK so I was just able to reproduce the error. It *IS* definitely a problem in videoredo. It's not a problem with the master file.
I've uploaded both the original recording and the edit and the errors are introduced AFTER videoredo.
ORIGINAL: https://mega.co.nz/#!xRFXmLRD!4-wdDzBxGgOZB3zIJz4qjO22tmTgNL5D95M82CiSbs8
AFTER:https://mega.co.nz/#!kRVX3YhK!3eqneHgtAjFA7v0lkJKLkptgeoqiylo4T0oDfnmtq7A
And to see the (slight) jerkiness that I'm talking about, here's a smaller clip: https://mega.co.nz/#!xd9XhZqI!i7Jla3gWY83qmxnISZTg1z9Ucn9kHAAvOgyXYguq8Uw
And, to be clear, this has happened with various versions of VRD. It's not just one. The files that I initially noticed this on were recorded several years ago. The files I uploaded were recorded today.
I'm desperate for some help on this. I have about 60 files that are just sitting on my PC that I can't burn because of this error.
I'm having a ton of problems with some files that I have. They were originally captured with my Hauppauge HD PVR and then edited with VRD. Once I author my Blu-ray with MultiAVCHD, I get a files that "jump" (for lack of a better word) a second or two after they start. It's not huge but it's about 2-3 frames, I would say.
When I ran them through tsmuxer, I got an error that said "Bad SEI detected. SEI too short." If I select "Do Not Change SEI," it processes fine but the jump is still there.
Is there any way to fix this? Is re-encoding the only option? Since MultiAVChd uses tsmuxer to create the discs, this anomaly is there on all of them.
The odd thing is that I've done nothing different with these files than I normally do when recording. Is this something that VRD entered into the equation? Or is there any chance of it fixing it?
Here's an example of one of the files:

Maybe - I'd need someone to sync the DTS discs to the BD before I could make that version though.
Harmy....you're a ROCK STAR!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Are there plans for a re-specialized version of Empire as well? Are the DTS discs available for it?

The AMC version was broadcast in 5.1, so I DO have a 5.1 track for all the extra scenes.
Was this 5.1 mix created from separate elements or is it just an up-mix from the 1.0?
By Jedi, the NFO is just going to be "you know what dis is. It's da shyt. Download it, mofos." ;)
Anyone else feel like this is waiting for Santa Claus? :)

The AMC version was broadcast in 5.1, so I DO have a 5.1 track for all the extra scenes. Unfortunately, the only 1080p rip I know of is also in stereo, hence my doing the entire thing in 720p and 5.1 for consistency. I can make another thread if you think that'd be better, but there is a difference in my version and a preservation. This version will not be exactly like the Saga or Trilogy edits. It will place the Don Ciccio assassination where it belongs chronologically like in the Saga, and incorporate a few scenes exclusive to that version, but it will not contain the TV-style openings and closings of the parts of the Saga, and it will contain all the things edited out of the Saga that were in the theatrical versions. I'm not doing this to "interest" people. I'm doing it because I'd like it done.
Harmy said:
I don't want the lossless version, I just want to have an AC3 there for completeness and I've already got it, thanks to someone on the forum :-)
I also realized, that in v2.5 of SW, I had the '85 LD mix as well - was the '85 mix of ESB different in any way? Or in other words, is it worth searching for and including?
Croweyes1121 said:
My edit won't be a proper preservation. The films already exist in their theatrical versions, and the Saga as aired exists, too. This is a cutting together of as much theatrical footage from the blu-ray as possible with the added scenes from the recent HD broadcast. The whole point is to bring 1901-1980 up to 720p / 5.1 standards. If I were trying to stick to original elements on everything, I'd just watch the laserdisc.
Harmy said:
I just found out that I only have the '93 mix for ESB from the PAL GOUT - could someone please upload a better AC3 of it for me?

Do we/should we have an official nominee to submit the .mkv to MySpleen? My home upload speed isn't the greatest so I'm probably not the best candidate, but I wanted to bring up the subject.
Itunes HD is LQ. You need a Vudu cap. Much better.

Count me in as wanting a version that reinserts the HD extra footage of this broadcast into the uncensored footage of the theatrical cuts to recreate "The Godfather Trilogy: 1901-1980". I had this on Laserdisc and, IMHO, it's the best way to experience the films. If no one is planning to do this, I'm contemplating buying a computer that will be up to the task (as the one I currently own is something of a dinosaur). About the only thing that seems like it might be hard to deal with is the AMC watermark. But I'd rather have a watermark on the extra footage than have it in 4:3 and in 2.0 like my previous reconstruction, sourced from the DVD set.
Not to be "that guy" but is there any ETA on the MKV at all? :)
Harmy said:
What? Well, v2.5 will probably be released eventually but not any time soon. First I want to do Jedi.
NEWSLETTER said:
A 2.5 version is in the works that will become the final edition released for some time, just like Star Wars:DE 2.5 was polished, and then Harmy will move on to update ROTJ:DE to its eventual 2.5 release.

Thanks, John. Finally found it. :)

(ignore subject line of 'July' update) :P
I still LOVE these comparisons. I still re-post them on sites for people who question how much was changed between versions.

It will probably take a few days to get those out there since I'm currently out of town and don't have as good a connection as I normally do. It's up to you if you want to wait for that, or have the AVCHD come out right away with the MKV slightly later . . .

I think if Lucasfilm announced the OUT at Celebration the attendee nerd-gasms would last for a thousand generations!
I agree. Celebration could be a perfect time to announce it if it's something they're doing. If they do release the OUT I think it'll either be released Christmas 2014, or Fall 2015 at the latest. If they do decide on a later release date then Celebration would be a great time to announce it, especially since that audience would love something like that.
The main audio tracks are all lossless again?

The film has shown on The Horror Channel in the UK quite a bit recently - it'll have a watermark on it, but is probably someone's best bet for a "clean", non-VHS copy. There don't appear to be any airings lined up but it'll be worth keeping an eye out for one.

Uh oh. Are getting all these dubs together going to hold up the release? ;)
