How is this, it is an MKV sample of SW V3.

Things move so fast around here so I'm late to the game. But wow this looks great. I'll hold off and wait for MKVs. Thanks so much for looking into this and trying it out. I've converted a few mates over to XBMC, and none of us use discs anymore except to rip to hard disks. x264s/mkvs are going to be cherished among us.

Any news on potential x264 releases? There was talk a few pages ago of seeing how best to encode to that format. Those of us who ditched DVDs in favor of HTPCs would be most jazzed for the superior quality of x264 (or any modern codec really).

Of course, I fully respect the time and effort DJ already put into the project. So I'll take whatever is released and be happy.

I'm suprised not more people are on board the XBMC boat. I'm running an HTPC with 2TB and xbmc. Haven't touched a dvd in over a year. Anyhow I'd love a good quality x264.

Handbrake will apparently take uncompressed AVI without problems.

Good luck!

I'm kind of new here and still reading through forums playing catch up. In reading this thread I'm left wondering... What is wrong with the GOUT version of ESB that make's Ady's reconstruction so essential? Seems like people are happy with the ANH and soon to be released ROTJ GOUT, but not the ESB one.

Brilliant! Thanks for the PM for the old versions, if I can get a PM for the new jedi that would be awesome. Cheers.

Totally new here, so apologies if this has been discussed to death. When the V3 comes out, from what I've been reading in this thread DJ has no plans to release x264s. However, is there other ways to encode from DJs raw version to x264 (instead of transcoding the dvds)? I'm sure I'm not alone in having dropped the dvd format in favor of HTPC running XBMC.

Just curious. I'm also just as happy to load the dvds as ISOs and go that route.

Cheers!
