You can just get it from Vudu. Both TDK and TDKR are in 1 aspect ratio.

Anyone else get this?

Color me....VERY underwhelmed. Wow.

Fair enough. But on a site where just rumors of news get people buzzing, you can't be surprised that some of us are excited to see some unseen BTS footage.

The Editdroid Facebook page has links to some videos I've never seen before, one about lightsaber tests, another one being an Episode 4 blooper reel. Cool stuff.

So the digital version of these books has only been out for a few days, and already certain people are ripping it and sending copies of it to each other?! Way to go!

Did it not occur to anyone here that the author might VERY well hang out here sometimes.......? Instead of copying it why not support his work by PAYING for a copy? There's a ton of hard work that has gone into these books, the least we can do here is to support work like this - as we support certain projects here - not copy it as if we were entitled to it. Not like this is a preservation project or something...!

Not cool...

regarding the drm of the ibook... i might be able to help, if someone can send a copy of the full ibook. contact me through pm.

Is there a quality difference between the ITunes and Kindle versions? There certainly is a huge size difference, unless one of the sites isn't accurate.

The pod race was, apparently, not the extended version. It's the original theatrical version. So it's different. Not sure if there's anything else different about the sound mix or anything like that...

Also, here's the laserdisc. It's going for pretty cheap on ebay!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/THX-Laser-Disk-WOW-/300995754578?pt=US_Laserdisc&hash=item4614beba52

I still can't wait for this.

Btw...I checked the DVD that I have and it looks like you have all of them.

As a suggestion, I would also include the Episode 1 Pod Race and my DVD has the DCS Cubes trailer as well. I know it's not DD/THX/DTS but it's cool for what it is.

Hell, if you could get a laserdisc transfer of the original THX disc, that'd be awesome.

Had I known about this, I would have bid. And I would have paid more than $700 for it. That's nothing.

Ugh. So are we only going to get facebook clips? Probably with the logo all over it?

Did anyone bother to see the clip I posted last page?

A lot of members here "would really love it" if you could give an update on the Star Trek Disc you were going to work up, or is this ditched now? or private perhaps?

Did anyone purchase this? It was a VERY limited run and I didn’t know about it until after the fact. Would really love it.

Anyone?

Is this the same source (before he sold it)?

Also, in an effort to not derail this thread, is there another to discuss VHS decks?

Looks to be from the same broadcast, but the WHIO has better colour and less distorted sound. The YouTube clip is definitely a generation or two further away from the one Tasjo has provided us with.

Looks like a great master.

Does anyone believe that Disney would do a better or more complete job than what was accomplished here?  Sorry, but I don't see it no matter who is or isn't involved with this franchise at this point.

I will grant that they probably have access to more resources, better source media and all that, but look at all the garbage HD releases out there that claim to be the cats pajamas.  Far too many if you ask me.

More thanks that I have go to Harmy for saving this piece of cinematic history.

From NYCC:

Rinzler will be releasing eBook versions of his "Making Of..." trilogy of books next week. Each eBook will contain, in addition to the entire text of the hardcopy books, up to 30 minutes of video and up to 30 minutes of audio. The audios and videos will be extremely rare behind the scenes looks at the 3 films. Some of the audio is expected to be very interesting (1 example was a discussion on the set between Lucas and Sir Alec Guinness regarding the proper way to deliver the famous "May the force be with you." line).

2 of the videos that will be included with the eBooks were shown:

1 ) Speederbike chase test footage shot using modified Kenner 12" figures on hand-built Speederbikes (different design from final film) doing basically the whole sequence from the film (with some differences in dialogue and shots/events). All of the characters' voices were provided by Ben Burrit. The miniature forest used for the sequence contained scenery created for the miniature VFX shots for "E.T." which ILM was still working on at the time.

2 ) Rebel briefing scene where Lando announces to Han that that he's a general. Lots of improvised banter between Ford and Williams before they go through the actual dialogue from the script.

An additional video was shown from the filming of the scene where Luke surrenders himself to Vader on Endor. The video features the voice of Marquand both directing the actors and providing Vader's dialogue. This video was really funny, not only for hearing Marquand speaking Vader's lines in his own voice, but for Marquand's stage directions ("Annnnnd...ZING!" when Luke tries to reach Vader's "good side"). Sadly, this video will not be included in the eBook and was going back into the vault after the panel.

I created a working Blu-Ray from the MKV using tsMuxeR. It just remuxes all the streams and creates the Blu-Ray file structure.

<span style="font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.2em;">If you can live without a custom menu, this is a great solution.</span>

What BD authoring tools don't re-encode?

Not that big of a secret when both iTunes and vudu have 1080p versions.

What's the big deal?
