Harmy's STAR WARS Despecialized Edition HD - V2.7 - MKV (Released)
Time

Yeah, it's a whole matte painting, which was completely changed in the SE, not just the soldiers in the foreground but also the walls, the window and about half of the soldiers in the room.

I am now encoding WP3 reel one. Here's a little promo from it :-)

Why is it 25fps???
Sounds horrible.

and you've gotten aliasing artifacts as well.

Empire Strikes Back 1980 Press Conference
Time

Does it sounds like a press event for tv or radio where they could replace the audio of the questions with a local newscaster.  Or a full event where in the background maybe you can hear the press.  (..having now read the ebay listing) Does the recording seem to be the large press event or part of the local one on one interviews, or a bit of both?


It's the press conference for the film and it's most certainly NOT the one-on-one interviews done for TV as above. Those are usually done on the same day but in an individual studio with reporters switched out.

This, I believe, is from the Canadian press tour for the film. I still haven't gotten around to listening to the second CD.

I believe any of those will do. Definitely DVD2/DVD4


Maybe, and those are great deals, but I'm looking to be able to put any damn thing in the player and run it. So far my Phillips does that for DVD and VCD, but obviously not BR.


I doubt you're going to find ONE player that will play EVERYTHING, as well as being region-free.

Star Wars Blu Ray Impressions
Time

IMO, the one overriding reason that the set can be "worth it" is for the 3 old-school documentaries on Disc 9.  The prices on the secondary market for legit versions of "The Making of Star Wars", "SP FX: The Empire Strikes Back", and especially for the Japan-only "Classic Creatures" LD together rival the cost of the BD set. 

Yes, I know that almost everyone on this site has at least on LD-to-DVD transferred version of each of the documentaries (Rowman's for me) but to have a proper release is nice in itself.


How are they encoded? AVC? How high is the bitrate?

Die Hard - Blu-ray Bonus Disc (* unfinished project *)
Time

So I’m putting together a bonus Blu-ray Disc of all the stuff that wasn’t included on the Die Hard Blu-ray’s.

Thus far, this is what I have:

Live Free or Die Hard (HD Unrated version)
Wrong guy, Wrong Place, Wrong Time Documentary
Continuing Adventures of John McClane Featurette
Live Free Life After Film School with Len Wiseman
Live Free Casting Session - DH4
Live Free MSN Roadblock Trailer
Live Free Teaser Trailer
Live Free International Trailer B
Live Free Bloopers
Live Free Deleted Scenes
Live Free Hacker Underworld
Live Free Homeland Security In A Cyber Age
Live Free Matt’s Pad With Justin Long
DH3 - Making of (different from DVD version)
DH3 - Side By Side Comparison - Water Gushing Through Tunnel (only one missing from Blu-ray)
DH3 - Interviews from R4 Australia DVD
DH3 - Summer in the City Music Video

Anyone have anything else to contribute? There’s not much room left on the Blu-ray after this. I’d LOVE to get the AMC Backstory on Die Hard but I never recorded it.
