Sorry Ric...

You remind me too much of this guy. Now I'm thinking about him.

Chewbacca was the reason my parents 'previewed' Star Wars before taking me, age 4 and my brother, age 1 to see Star Wars. They thought he was a space werewolf or something and might be too scary :P As far back as I can remember I thought Chewie was ripped off not getting a medal. If you haven't been following the wookiee racism thread, it may be because you mistakenly thought it was a thread about The Empire Strikes Back being the best Star Wars movie

Wait...how old are you?

I'm 36. My son was born when I was 19. I think you've still got a year or two on me Frink ;)

Great pic rpvee!

A belated Happy Birthday Star Wars! It was also my son's 17th birthday yesterday -  he was exactly half as old as Star Wars for a day.

Could I get a PM please?

Thanks Harmy :)

That's what I figured. But I also didn't think stations would have access to or be allowed to broadcast an HD source allowing people to capture it before the Blu-rays became available for sale. With the money involved I figured they would upscale DVD quality for anything not yet released in HD... Lucky for us :)

And combining the gout with HD video would be a really bad idea...

I beg to differ!

You may indeed differ, sir :)

I am curious to know why HDTV footage is regarded more highly as a source than the '04 discs. Surely it is just that exact content upscaled to HD? Is it the quality of the upscaling that the TV station is capable of that makes it more desirable than working directly with the discs and upscaling the output yourself?

Ahh. Not really worth bothering then. Thanks again Harmy.

Couldn't find anything helpful in Technical Discussion so... what would be the best way to convert this AVCHD to a single file e.g. mkv and remove the black bars without quality loss?

I had this problem with the last pieces of two of Harmy's. He suggested to turn JDownloader off for a few hours altogether and try again later, which worked for me. If you just leave it while it says "temp. uncheckable" it makes you wait 10 minutes over and over. Clear the lists and exit JDownloader for a while and try again until the last part shows as online. Then begin the download. Also try opening the dlc with JDownloader through Windows instead of opening JDownloader and then launching the dlc, it probably makes no difference but that's what I did differently after trying for 2 days and it worked.

Thanks for your advice Harmy and fantastic work! Looking forward to Star Wars Despecialized :) Could I please get a PM for the SD version of this as well?

Bounty Hunter on PS2 could have been good if the controls didn't suck so bad.

The Force Unleashed had its moments but not really a fan.

You don't make the rules here either, so I can make up a fake rule in order to give you a backhanded compliment if I want to, ya cranky git :)

Backhanded?

;-(

What is frowny-winky? Maybe I need advice in the misuse of emoticons thread...

It wasn't a backhanded compliment, sorry Frink. I meant the opposite. A reverse backhanded compliment? I was giving you sincere encouragement and praise for TRM, but using the same comment to have a dig at you for not contributing to the thread as per the OP. It was a compliment, basically.

Now find a movie pic and put different movie words there, you off-topic type person with the flubber and the hey lady.

Dude... I adopted and cared for this thread after Han vs Indy left it neglected with a misspelled name and someone said it was lame. *points at Greeny*

Return is like a roller coaster at an amusement park.  When it goes through the dark tunnel, you know the monsters are fake, so you laugh while you're jumping out of your seat.  In Star Wars & Empire, when it goes through the dark tunnel, the monsters burn your family, kill your best friend, and cut your hand off.

 

LOL. Great stuff.

Liked.

I would easily believe the top pic is a photo of Peter Cushing himself. Pretty farkin good.

Hi PinkFive! Love the avatar.

^ Cheers!

Now all I see is a big light blur...

Dear Marty, I am alive and well, living in the year 1885...

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED??

Frink - you are exempt from making an actual contribution to this thread so long as you are using your funny bone for Ridiculous Menace ;) Good work so far.
