Well in the past few weeks i have replied to just over 30 requests for download links, from both here and ones sent directly to my email address and out of those only 2 have bothered replying with a thanks. So from now on i WILL NOT be replying to any requests for links. I also won't be sending out any more physical copies either because i've sent out hundreds already and i have to put a stop to it sometime or i'll be bankrupt. lol

That's really sad.  Really.

I've been thinking more and more about Anakins turn to the darkside and well...I think it should be more like this:

T4 suffers from several problems:

Am I the only one that was jarred by all the bad cuts and edits?  It's like McG fan-edited his own movie!  Scenes just stopped, plot and character development was obviously missing, it was really bad to me.  Its just so frustrating because I could see a pretty good movie in there, but it just got cut to pieces!

You know, I still have to re-watch the end.  IIRC the B4 thing is unfortunately too entwined with the plot.  (I still have to watch the end of Nemesis.  I'm having a hard time sitting through it.)

While most people blame B4, the buggy ride and Data's death as the big flaws in the movie, I'm starting to think just making Shinzon into scary villian, not clone could be a big fix. 

It's not important to the plot, just the character development.  When I'm done watching, I may take a swing at this.

Is there any difference between the deleted scenes in the 1-disc edition and the 2-disc special edition?

But if you make Shinzon just a villian, how do you make up for the fact that he wants Picard alive for a blood transfusion?  Or why is he randomly dying?  He and Picard share a rare blood type?  LOL

I don't think B4 is too entwined, but I haven't thought about it, honestly.

Does VLC player have a feature to move one frame at a time?

No, and it is the only downfall of that program to me.  I did reformat my system and set it to be my default multimedia player though!

EDIT: Yes, I do the screenshots for most of the Revisited comparisons by pressing pause and hoping its the moment I want.  Thankfully the beta for 1.0 of VLC has live preview, so you can just drag the slider and see where it is in the video currently.  It also takes one more copy of a screenshot each time you take one!  I ended up with 12 screenshots of one frame by the time I was done with the ESBR trailer!

Sorry, I was showing my ignorance earlier - Prologic's channels are left, right, centre and mono rear. So if they could be decoded within the digital realm (no idea if this is possible), it would be a simple case to reassign them to the respective channels within 5.1, dupe the mono surround to both rear channels, and slot in the LFE.

The levels might need a bit of fiddling, but really it's the decoding that would be the hard part. Any ideas?

Well if you have software like WINDVD & a 5.1 soundcard you can play the soundtrack in this using WINDVD's dolby surround setting. You can record this on-the-fly by setting your record source selection in your mixer to "what you hear" in something like soundforge. you will then have the 6 channels. Save each separate channel as a mono wav files. Now you will have to re-sync this before making your 5.1 AC3. You can do this easily by ripping the GOUT video & audio to 2 separate files (make sure your ripping software doesn't split the files). convert the GOUT's AC3 to stereo wav in besweet. Import the ripped VOB file, stereo wav & your 6 separate mono files into a new project (audio set to 5.1) Sony vegas. chose the surround channel for each wav file (in the left panel of each audio track where you see the surround mixer for each track. just drag the diamond shape to the desired speaker and click on the remaining ones to mute them. for the LFE you will need to right click on the surround panel and chose LFE only. ).  Now the LFE you recorded with your surround mix you can discard. Use the original LFE from the 2.1 mix. This should already be synced with the GOUT. Select (highlight) the remaining 5 mono files in vegas and right click on one of the highlighted files and select "Group> create new". these files are now locked together . all you have to do now is align the beginning of the Fox theme in your mono files with the beginning of the GOUT (easy to see thanks to the wavform). now play the track. You should not hear any sort of echoing effect when you play the surround channels with the original GOUT stereo wav. Once you have the sync set, mute all other tracks apart from your 5.1 mix and you can use Vegas to export your AC3

Simple. lol

I think I actually understood all of that.  Does that make me crazy?

^Every edition Ady has released is in widescreen.

Oh, cool :)

 

It's just that the xvid copy that I downloaded ages ago was fullscreen for some reason.

That's odd, because the official XVID is widescreen also.  Perhaps whatever you were watching it on compressed it.  I've had that problem trying to encode my own XVIDs.

I'll try to explain it to him.  Good idea C3PX.

My philosophy for these edits:

  If an element can be shot with a model then a model it will be....

  If it can't then CG will be used

Impressive, most impressive.

Maybe I should go the 80's cartoon route and call myself "The Real doubleofive"! ;-)

Just think of yourself as doubleofiveprime and the the other one as bizarrodoubleofive.

You are living in the multiverse of the interwebs, no need to start a Crisis On Infinite Social Networks.

LOL, that's great Bingo!

Yeah, I'm figuring I don't have much of a chance, as I calm down.  I mean, Robot Chicken had to be "CyborgTurkey" on Twitter, and I'm sure they actually have a copyright!

It's not like using http://www.facebook.com/drew.stewart (feel free to look me up) will kill me, or I'm afraid this kid will be funnelling away potentional money or clients (for which I have nothing to offer anyway).  It was just kind of nice to be the ONLY one.

I'm proud of my screenname.  I really am.  I picked it out around 1998 or so and have never failed to get it for any website: Google, Yahoo, MSN, Xbox LIVE, MySpace, Twitter, Wordpress, tons of forums...  If you see the name doubleofive, you can be assured its me.

Except for Facebook.

As of midnight EST this morning, you could pick screennames so that people could search and find you by username and not just your real name.  I was up at 3am and thought I should save my "doubleofive", but figured it would be OK for me to get some sleep, who would take it after almost 12 years of getting it every time?  Apparently I was wrong.  Some kid in Minnesota took it before I could.

It's stupid, but I feel like my identity has been stolen.  I actually submitted a "Violiation of Intellectual Property" to Facebook about it!  Figured being able to prove that every other doubleofive is me would gain me back the one I lost.

I actually changed my title on here last week to reflect how proud I was that if you searched "doubleofive" on Google, every result pointed to me.  Now I'm afraid that the top result will be some kid I've never met before in my life.

I hope Facebook agrees with my sentiments...

Anyone else ever have this problem?  Kind of wanted to start a discussion, not just vent.

Ady actually PMed me worried that I would add this person to the credits!

1. the time of adding new screennames has passed

2. I only added people who posted on the ESBR thread with suggestions or encouragement

3. I seriously couldn't translate the english until you and Ady figured it out.

Apparently all you have to do is give her your credit card number if the PMs are to be believed...

Cute Davnes.  Especially the "Planet of Galactic Peace" reference.

Ok it is way better green. If the fatness of it is gone I think it will look a thousand times better. But quick question How is he going to get rid of the saber that is already there. Remove colours and add layers. Because one cant simply plop a new blade over that fat thing.

It's somewhat related to ESB, so I'll keep going...

I assume he actually would have to and has already for ESB erase the current blade filling it in with a new background, then redoing the blade from scratch.

That's a relief,

I thought it would be near impossible to do unless he had the footage of Mark and Dave slapping sticks together. OR removing the color of the blades.

I was going to grab a frame of RotJ to mock up, but I immediately ran into this frame and started crying:

Not to say it's impossible, just beyond my capacity.  For example, Ady managed to fix this:

Adywan,

I have been wondering for a while. In Return of the Jedi they originally had Luke's saber blue. I haven't seen any posts about this but are you planning on keeping it green or go to blue. This is a little early but I am wondering. I really don't care as long as the sabers are sleek, the size matches, and they not going through each other in front of the Emperor's face LOL

This actually should go here, but I think Ady has said that the green saber will remain.  Link actually goes to a blue saber mockup.

Pic 3 -  I see what you mean here. i will look into fixing that

I was wrong here... this should not look like this and the hole in the back is in the wrong place.

I will edit my post in a minute with a test mockup.

Just as I finally figured out what it all meant, you're changing it?!

Looks like Avant Garde or possibly Century Gothic.

Thanks, I thought I had them, forgot they weren't anything special!

I keep asking and keep forgetting, what is the font used on the vintage figure card backs?  I had it for a while, but poof, it was gone.

 Could you post an example?  Pictures are worth a thousand words.

The font used for the names:

Like "Star Destroyer Commander" here.

Ah sorry guys :( I never followed the ANH:R thread until the very end.

Apologies.

No problem man.  Check out the links in my sig, you'll learn more than you ever wanted to know about ANHR!

brash_stryker said:

I've looked through this whole thread and don't remember anything being said about this (although I could be wrong), so here goes.

Ady, have you ever considered making a cameo in your edits? A la Hitchcock.

All it would take is a green screen (which you're no doubt using for all your model/effects work anyway.

Just an idea. You're already going to have immortalised yourself in Star Wars history as it is. Just wondering if you've considered anything like this.

All you need is an orange jumpsuit ;)

You mean besides this?

Or this:

I know what you mean, and that would be awesome.  Ady apparently has thought about it though. ;-)

He put himself in the medal ceremony at the end of ANH:R.  And his is the severed arm in the cantina in the DVD-9 (final) version.

You only beat me because I knew where the pictures were!  And the arm is in the DVD-5 also.
