Just encoding it now. should be here in about 20 mins

I love that "a few months off" turned into "let me do the first color correction pass real quick" to "it took me 3 days, 9 layers and 123 masks to do this one Yoda scene" to "I'm just going to start to matte the transparency issues" to "here's the first two minutes."

I freaking love it.

Anyway, does anyone fancy seeing the first 2 "finished" minutes (minus the crawl) of ESB:R, complete with new FX?

I'm not sure, does it come with cake? Cause I'd fancy it if it came with cake. Maybe even if it didn't.

I think the saber could stand being moved a bit to frame right, maybe just past Luke's left hand. That might help it being noticed a bit more, for those who don't know its there.

Now that you all know its there, it'll be all you can see. :-D

I'd love to see more "how its done" stuff, like the Mos Eisley breakdown PSD. How are you making the cockpit solid without a clean plate? Some kind of video voodoo?

I made this series of screenshots a few months ago to confirm exactly what you discovered:

Sure enough, it does look like Lucas just added a bolt over the 97 SE version to make it look like Han shoots earlier, but the first bolt disappears... Dumb way to "fix" things he already broke.

You gotta read between the lines.

When the Falcon gets to Bespin, security won't let them land at first. Then when they do land, Lando is late in getting out to the platform.

Fett probably got there literally just a few minutes before. Security refusing to let them land was a delay tactic, and Lando not making it out to the platform in time was because Fett (and possibly Vader) were pulling rank on him.

Wow. I never thought about it like that.

doubleofive- I know that there is some 'debris' on the gantry in that 'birds-eye view' shot, but I certainly don't recall there being an obvious deactivated Lightsaber on it. I will check this out later today though.

If its not there then Ady can just put it there. I've always been OK with assuming it was there, so if it actually is, all the better!

I added an addendum to the end of yesterday's 'missing Lightsaber' post Ady. :)

I thought his lightsaber already was in the bird's eye shot. I was going to check last night, but I was distracted by Luke being so quiet that I could barely hear him in some "lost scene".

I just realized something. In the Official Site's "What Has Changed?" comparison between 2004 and GOUT it has many dozens of "Such-and-such has been digitally recomposited." Wouldn't that mean that they had access to all of the elements back when they were doing the 97 SE at the very least? If so why couldn't they fix all of the transparency issues back then? Why do them so half-assed if they had to go back to the base elements anyway?

I know all of these questions have no answers, but I wish they would open up the archives to Ady to allow him to take the time to matte out all of the elements properly. Heck, give him access the original background plates too. Let this one man take the time and his own money to do what Lucas would not do.

Jeez, I'm getting all fired up!

A question for you guys... I was watching the DVD9 the other day on my LG DVD player/recorder

Funny you mention this, because my LG DVD Recorder (LG LRA-850)
ironically doesn't play DVD-R's correctly, only commercially-made DVDs and anything I record using it. I haven't tried the DVD-9 in it because I figure it wouldn't work anyway since nothing I've ever burned works in it. I don't use it for anything but recording anyway, so it's not an issue.

A DVD recorder that doesn't play recorded DVDs? That is ironic. How do they get away with that?

If you remember, George added those creatures when he filmed it for a reason and Adywan has removed the alien feel from that whole scene now.

:-P

I forgot to say that I was testing the DVD-9 and had my wife (a moderate Star Wars fan) sit down and watch the extended Alderaan Destruction Sequence. She saw bits and pieces of the XVID version, but hasn't seen the whole thing yet.

I asked her "You want to see the coolest thing that's not in the movie?"

She was like "Sure", kind of rolling her eyes.

I think I heard her gasp, and afterwards she said "That was awesome! Why didn't he put that in?!"

"Because it takes away from the pacing--" "So?!" "And Obi-Wan said they cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced."

"Who cares what Obi-Wan says?! That was so cool!"

And this from a girl who doesn't mind Jar Jar.

I'm still fine with it being right where it is, just letting you know how cool it is. I expected the shorter version you put online a while back, so I was blown away when I first saw the "final" version too.

RoccondilRinon, those are absolutely awesome. I love things that fit together perfectly, and those do.

Now just hold onto these for another 10 years to give Ady enough time to finish the saga! ;-)

I'm telling you, I just burned a disc last night at 2.4x. It's not the program. Besides, my Verbatims are 4x max also.

I just don't want people to go out and pay for Nero when others work perfectly fine. If you have it, great, if you don't, don't buy it.

All of my copies of the DVD-5 and PURIST beg to differ with your opinion on CDBurnerXP, vbangle. He may not have burned it on the slowest speed, but that's not the program's fault. Besides, it works in his DVD player.

I used Imgburn for my first burn since I had to recreate the ISO from scratch. I've not burned it with CDBurnerXP yet.

The only things that might glitch are the menu transitions in the special features and the pause in the middle of the movie as the laser starts heading back towards the center of the disc.

Anyway, as far as 'Empire' goes, I notice that the blue colouring of R2D2 in the X-wing in space is erratic. In some shots his blue sections are completely blue with no 'shading', but other shots have his blue sections blackly shaded with a little blue added. Tying these together a bit would be nice, and to be honest, I prefer the latter look.

I too like the mostly black coloring to R2 in those particular shots. I mean, its space, there shouldn't be that much coloring to his panels. Definitely don't make them solid black, but just hint them a bit on the blue side.

NL197, if you're planning on burning with Imgburn then you need to put the fixed files in the VIDEO_TS folder. Only if you downloaded the individual files would you need to use the QuickPAR fix.

I watched that clip and my mouth dropped open. I had no idea how freaking bad the DVDs are! Jeez, that's just ridiculous. If one guy in a few weeks can fix it, imagine how fast Lowry or ILM could have fixed it if they just took the time.

Your work is even more incredible the more I look at it.

Oh, and that first shot of R2 turning towards the X-Wing is the shot where I think the X-Wing should start slipping into the water. It's really high out of the water to only have a part of the wing sticking up a few seconds later.
