Just saw this...
http://www.filmforum.org/movies/more/star_wars_episode_iv_a_new_hop

Of course, it's sold out.
Of course, it's the special edition.

Haven't seen any screenings of any of the movies in the public lately, though.

<span style="line-height: 17.24431800842285px;">===========================================</span>

<span style="line-height: 17.24431800842285px;">Video - Our goal is to have a preserved version that will be released in a high definition 1080p anamorphic MKV</span>

<span style="line-height: 17.24431800842285px;">that is full frame for people with projectors (25gigs), and bluray disc (25gigs), and a dual layer dvd (9gigs) as the final product. </span>

<div>Hi Team, I was hoping you could describe what you mean by "full frame for people with projectors" in more detail? I have a pretty nice projector, and am very interested in your work. :)</div>

There's a UK release for this on blu-ray.

I'm thrilled that they're offering Blu-ray's as an option. I don't understand why Laddie didn't do that. I'm not buying SD anymore.

Harmy said:

Cool, I don't really need any for ESB but I will definitely need some for ROTJ.

The clue was already given .......  "This can be found at the usual paradoxical place in the same thread as the Despecialized Edition."

So I noticed demonoid had an old version up (probably with no seeds though haha), and being that Harmy said it was OK I upped the 2.5 MKV there - a bunch of people jumped on it and it's now self-seeded.

Posting to let you know that you should be pleased it's made at least 20 demonoid users so far happy (and probably countless more in the future)!

Thanks so much for all the work involved in this Harmy, look forward to seeing your future projects!!

 Well, you could always use the video stream from the AVCHD - the bitrate of the MKV is only a bit higher and it's encoded with very high quality slow settings, so in terms of quality, the AVCHD should be better than a re-encode of the MKV.

LOVE this...
However, it's unfortunate that the MKV is in a size that isn't BD compliant. I was going to burn it to the same disc as the Despecialized. :( Now I'll have to re-encode.

You wouldn't happen to have an MKV that's compliant, would you?

So, the on demand video is about 30-45 seconds shorter than the video off your DVD?

It sounds like this is because of missing frames rather than a 60fps/59.94fps mismatch (as an audio speed up didn't fully solve the problem).

You will need to line up the two videos in an editor and find out where the on-demand version is missing frames, then make the corresponding cuts in the audio at those locations.

Check to see if the video on the DVD lines up frame-for-frame with the on demand version, if it doesn't, you might have a clearer idea of what's going on and where it goes out of sync.

No. That's the weird thing. It's the opposite. The TV airings were fine. It's the OD version that was sped-up.

So I had recorded the TV Show/Mini-series Political Animals in HD when it was on. Unfortunately, the show was only released on DVD and never on blu. I recorded the on-demand version when it was still available because it did not have the station bug in the corner. The only problem is that the on-demand version had 2.0 audio (192kbps) as opposed to the original 5.1 mix. Although there is an HD iTunes version, mine has significantly less compression and I'd really rather not go down that route.

So I purchased the DVD version to get the 448kbps 5.1 track. To my surprise, of the 6 episodes, only 1, 5 and 6 synced up. When I lined up the other 3 episodes, they immediately became wildly out of sync, as if the on-demand version I had recorded was sped-up. My immediate thought was that they possibly used a PAL master or something for the on-demand but that just makes no sense. I checked the iTunes download as well as the original TV broadcasts (from torrent) and none of them synced up either.

Has anyone ever encountered something like this and did you ever find a solution? Am I just going to have to manually go through and line it up? Any suggestions?

I think that the biggest problem is the fact that it's got those burnt in subtitles. :(

How didja capture it poita?

Quick question: will there be lossless tracks on v2 of Empire and Jedi like SW? :)

Well, here's another thing: The Parbot is 56 minutes long.

Those tapes are only 20 minutes each.

That means that, regardless of which documentary it is, it's not complete.

How about this? I can capture the first 10 minutes and you guys tell me what you think...

eldiablosuizo said:

If it's a cable broadcast, yes. That would help tremendously and let me be able to finish the preservation...well, really quickly.

Do you guys need me to cap it from Epix?

I'm still working on putting ALL of this stuff onto a few BD's.

If anyone is interested in creating artwork for it, please hit me up.

i have done a version 2.0 with the best quality sebastian shaw footage i could find and a 6.1 dts-hd master audio track added

if anyone is interested just let me know and i could post it (you would need a player capable of playing the hd sound tho, i.e. powerdvd, total media theatre or burned to blu)

You could always wait for this to premiere on cable tv (like HBO) if you want a less compressed 16x9 portion.

I'd be interested.
