How do I download all the parts and put them together?

I wasn't complaining at him for just not reading back pages, all the questions he's asked have been thoroughly answered between his posts, so I had to ask how he missed what should be obvious to anyone keeping up.  He's too busy to read, and that's at least a reason.

Fair enough

You can put the popcorn away there's not going to be any fight I've been on the internet too long to fall into those traps

animemaakuo, do you even read this forum?

In animemaakuo's defense and I mean no offense to whoever created this site but the forum software is very bad, the search feature is non existent there are feature that I have become used to that are non existent on here like the ability to click on a user profile and fins all their posts and threads, even the ability to navigate pages is awful. I just started using this site when I heard about Harmy in December only to discover that I had made an account on here in August 2009 but I can't see whether or not I made any posts back then. If this sites software were replaced with say vBulletin the user experience would be much better

You need to stop complaining so much.  I overlook all those things you mentioned because I know that I'm lucky that there is a forum like this at all.

Complained so much? This is the first time I've complained and I wouldn't really call this a complaint I'm just saying not to gang up on the new guy for not reading back all the pages. Calm down and talk about Star Wars jeez

That's strange - I've used the exact same settings for the AVCHD as for v2.0 and it came out quite a bit smaller (by like 600MB). This on one hand means, that I'll be able to add a few extra audio or subtitle tracks but it's a bit worrying.

That is odd, sometimes differences in colors and motion affect file size but since all the changes you mad were very subtly that wouldn't make much sense. Maybe there is a program out there that will crawl through a video file to look for corruption 

I can't wait for the upload! Harmy you made your post saying the upload would be "tomorrow" at midnight my time so I'm not quite sure if tomorrow is a few hours from now or further off no that I'm rushing you just looking for clarification.

And so Han Solo still has his purple pants at the end? I thought Verta pretty well corrected that, and showed how he did it, no?

 

Well it was the 80s

Despecialized and revisited could fit on a single BD50 since both Harmy and Adywan are planning on designing their films to fit on BD25s you might even have a few GBs left if they don't take up exactly 25

animemaakuo said:

When will this 2.1 version come out, and if it's the final version, does it cover the entire original trilogy? This sounds almost too good to be true. =/. 

Harmy will release the AVCHD of Star Wars (1977) in a few days and the BD structure with special features will be released a month after. Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi will come later

I agree that even if talk of your work goes on beyond the particular shots, it should be quite acceptable, even welcome, to take up otherwise dead air where you didn't make any changes with further explanation.

Poita, are you saying you'd take audio of him talking about all of his work and then edit/arrange that into a topical commentary track?  If so, I could see it being interesting, though I do enjoy the flow of a real time talk; but then I may just love the occasional mild rambling and accidental insight that tends to slip in...

Actually I meant to do that, or attempt a picture in picture version that has the part being discussed in a window while the movie continues on, or have the movie pause and other video play during the crucial bits of the talk and then continue on. I've seen it on a few bluray titles and I like the effect.

That would be cool does anyone on here know if that sort of thing is possible with consumer software?

Hi guys!

I don't know if you have seen this. Might be of interest too.

not much more info I'm afraid!

 

You found my other profile that is actually negative one's project you can find more details on this forum

A) I understand making the final tweaks. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night without everything being just the way I wanted it.

B) OHMYGOSH Hamill, Fisher, and Ford in VII? That might be worth seeing. I'll still have to wait to hear from other moviegoers just to make sure nothing asinine happens like, oh i don't know, Jar Jar inexplicably showing up...if the coast is clear, I'm all over that lol. 

C) @MichaelKirshner: Forgive me for not noticing your original post, but from whence did those pics come? They're awesome. Looks like a print source?

I got them from the high res section on 4chan and then I downloaded them all and posted them onto photobucket

Here are just a few of the high res images I was talking about earlier. Harmy let me know if you might want to include these as part of your special features and I'll send you the whole set

yoda-sama said:

Interesting, and it wouldn't even have to be part of an official release, it can be us responding to watching 2.1 and have it as a separate downloadable affair...

EDIT: and I mean it'd be GOUT-synced, of course.

What we could do is record the commentary of us watching the AVCHD version of 2.1 once that gets released and then send the file to Harmy for him to incorporate into the 2.1 Blu-ray special features

Or maybe some of us Harmy included could get on Skype and record our own community commentary. The guys over at commentarytrackstars.com recorded a commentary for Adywan's revisited and I thought it was really good. I would definitely be up for doing a community commentary if anyone else is interested  

Various people I think Harry_Hen did the 70mm tracks and I think one or more may have been from Adywan's revisited

I don't think Harmy should be expected to produce step-by-step guides for how to burn discs.  He is doing enough work as it is doing the restorations.  Once his 2.1 is finalized, others can produce step-by-step guides in a separate thread.  All these how-do-I-do-this-and-that is cluttering this thread terribly.

Wherever it ends up being would be greatly appreciated also I don't think it would clutter anything up as posting a guide would end all of this confusion once and for all

 

Dude, you seriously need to learn how to use google.  It really isn't that hard.  I'm very proficient at these things and I learned quickly just from searches on google.  It didn't take long for me to figure it all out.

 

 

I know and I do use google I'm just saying that it would be helpful to everyone if all the information was in one place so the thread would not be cluttered up with people asking an endless series of questions and then to have an endless series of responses consisting of answers one at a time or comments instructing people to use google but whatever its not that big of a deal

Huh chalk it up to me not knowing what I was doing. You made a reference previously to posting a step by step guide to authoring the Blu-rays in the best possible conditions, I would just like to say that that would be greatly appreciated and I hope that you are still considering that. Other than that I really can't find anything that needs addressing 

I just saw the MKV and compared it to the AVCHD file that I muxed from the MKV to burn ont a Blu-ray disc and there is definitely a noticeable change in quality so hopefully when the finalized Blu-ray is released that issue will be fixed. I don't really know much about burning Blu-rays other than following exact directions so it would be very helpful if Harmy were to release a step by step guide and maybe I really did not need to convert out of MKV before burning to Blu-ray?   My reference scene for the comparison was the lightsaber duel between Obi-wan and Vader

Hi folks, I have a dilemma. My kids are reaching the age where it would be appropriate for them to be educated in the ways of the force. I'm 36 and was lucky enough to have the correct curriculum the first time around but on revisiting it in my twenties was exposed to the updated 'burping aliens and yelping Jabba' editions causing nausea and revulsion. I would like them to experience the original editions as I did but alas I have technical know how of a hamster and when reading some of these threads begin to question if the language settings have been changed.

So if anyone of you would be so kind as to help it would seriously appreciated. Can I watch these editions on my computer and can i save them onto the shiny discs to watch on my TV, if I can, how do I?

Cheers

 

Do you know if your computer has a DVD or a Blu-ray burning drive? Most new computers at least have a DVD burning drive

Speaking of special features I found some really cool high resolution behind the scenes photographs someone posted onto 4chan

Quick question - I have the 2.1 MKV downloaded and when I try to add it to txMuxer, I get an error: Matroska parse error: invalid H264 NAL unit size. NAL unit truncated. Googling that implies that the .mkv is not compatible with blu ray and I need to do some type of re-encoding.

So what is the right way to burn the 16GB .mkv file to a blu ray that I can play on my PS3?

The mkv was most likely muxed with a version of mkvmerge GUI newer than 4.1.1.  I use 4.1.1 for all my mkv handling.  Download 4.1.1, remux the mkv, run it through Tsmuxer and all is good.

That was indeed the fix. The MKV was originall 16832874 bytes, but after remuxing it was 16833045. Loaded perfectly in txMuxer after that and I was able to burn it no problem.

Thanks!

That's awesome but you picked the worst time as you will have to replace it hopefully pretty soon

2.1 has not yet been released but a test render is expected by the end of the week. You may have had the same problem that I had where you downloaded from a source other than Harmy. The official source is Myspleen which I unfortunately do not have invites to give. By the way that is weird I am a member of myspleen but I can't send invites to anyone?
