Never mind, found a beautiful one.

I started a cover set with the forthcoming DVDs' visual (one for the OT, one for the PT), but I have no idea what to put on the back. If anyone wants to give it a shot, here are the PSDs:

Well, weirdly the bug was fixed for a while by simply muxing the subs into the mkv. But it started acting up again.

I'm not sure if I can point you to the website without breaking the forum rules, but just google "fanedit", the website is among the 5 first results.

Hmm I didn't think of Jambe's docs. I'd include them apart, as bonuses. I also completely forgot about Daneditor's ROTJ radical edit, but edited without the Bobba Fett bits.

L8wrtr's Prequel trilogy + Harmy's Despecialized editions (when they will be available on Blu-ray).

Maybe even just Harmy's DeEds+ L8wrtr's "Dawn of the Empire", as even if he made the PT more interesting than Lucas' cuts, Eps 1 and 2 are still boring (plus, he removed the only good line of ep 2 IMO: "Wanna buy some death sticks?").

Thanks, downloading now. But the download is HUGE! I'm at 126 Mo and it's still downloading.

If you can't wait a few days, yes. It's definitely worth it.

Welcome!

Yes, v2.5 is only for "Episode 4" aka "Star Wars", at least for now, as Harmy has already started working on Empire's v2.0. SW 2.5 is already rendered, we are waiting for some audio tracks made by hairy_hen, who hasn't access to internet at the moment so he can't upload them, for now.

Yeah, they play nicely with MplayerX, but I swear that when I tested them with VLC, they played nicely too. As if the previous version didn't have this bug. The same issue happened with my dad's Windows 8 PC, still with VLC. Strange...

HanDuet, do you see any problems with my French subs? I checked them a few times before sending you them, but it seems the new version of VLC has problems playing them. I don't have any issue in other players, just VLC (Tested on my Mac's OS X 10.8.4 and on my dad's Windows 8 laptop).

Thanks for the quick reply. The thing is that it is very tiny in any image viewer (I tried on OS X 10.8 and Windows 7), but huge when you print it (maybe 2 A3s).
Thanks again for making it, I tried to calculate the dimensions by myself, but the printing process was not good. 

If I were you, I'd wait for v2.5 that Harmy is about to release (it is a matter of days), which will have the corrected tracks and lots of enhancements.

Hi.

I'm looking for a Struzan set (the SE one) for a 1997 SE trilogy preservation. It took me about three hours to browse half the DVD covers thread as there's no search feature here.

Thanks in advance.

Hm, I misread you then I guess

I guess 25 gigs, as the v2.0 mkv was "only" 16 GB with lots of languages included, and Harmy said the BD's bitrate would be slightly higher.

I don't think I should care as I "only" have a 32" HDTV with no other audio equipment other than the built-in speakers, but I think including a DTS-MA track, just like on the official Blu-ray, would be like sending a good "message" to Lucas. A message we'd keep to ourselves, of course. And, of course, we'd enjoy it greatly, thanks to Hairy_hen's work.

Woot!

I'd just mux the basic mixes available and let everyone mux other tracks, and let us grab the new mixes when they're available so we can mux them. But it might be too much work to send these wherever we are supposed to find them and everyone can't be aware of how to do that.

these are just my two cents.

What audio files do you need ? Hairy_Hen's ? If you need a NTSC GOUT sourced French audio, I'll be glad to give it to you. Now that I think about it, we have all the French versions since Marvins released his preservation. If you need anything about these, feel free to PM me.

I must say I find this pretty funny. I'm not really looking to make money on any of this and I sure as hell am not about to start selling t-shirts with my name on them. But thanks for the sentiment :-)

Looks like Harmy does not share our optimistic appraisal of the situation. :p

Chewtobacca's version is available on myspleen. If you need an invite, PM me. If your DVD player supports 720p, can you check on the package if it also supports AVCHD? Maybe it does, as I see no point in supporting 720p, unless there's a USB port on it. In that case, I'd just not bother and convert it with Handbrake using the "high profile" preset to keep the 720p format.

If English is your native language and/or you plan to watch Star Wars ONLY in that language, just grab Chewtobacca's DVD 5 of the DeEd. I don't think you can get better than DVD quality with a DVD player.

As I said, you can also watch it on your computer if you have an HD monitor with VLC.

I tried with and without, with no luck and apparently I'm not alone.

Can I get this to play on a DVD player in any way?

 

Of course, just grab MKVtoolnix and convert the 2.1 version, then burn it to disc, all modern DVD players should be able to play MKV file. I ran into some problems with it, but that doesn't mean you will.

Unless you have a Sony player, they apparently have problems reading MKVs. My Sony Blu-ray player can't read them, while I have no problem with my mom's LG. If yours can't read MKVs, grab Handbrake, drag and drop Harmy's DeEd and convert to mp4. It should work in my experience.

Harmy's Despecialized Editions are AVCHD discs, which can't be played in a standard DVD player. You'll need either a Blu-ray player for playing on a TV, or a standard DVD-DL reader and a software like VLC to play them on a computer. See, AVCHDs are, by their structure, Blu-rays that hold on a DL-DVD, that's why a standard DVD player can't read them.

If you want to select the language, you'll have to press the "Language" button on your remote until you find it (as there's no menus, except on the 2.5 Blu-ray Harmy is about to release), but you'll have to add it first in Mkvmerge (aka Mkvtoolnix) and mux it to an AVCHD disc with TSMuxer.

Hope it helps.

It makes me think of an incompatibility between PAL and NTSC. Are you European and trying to add a foreign track from the GOUT?

If not, you could try adjusting the number of frames per second in a program like mkvmerge GUI (aka mkvtoolnix).

I'm not an expert, but that's what I'd think of.
