Hi guys, first post on this fantastic site. Downloaded ANH and ESB from Kat.cr tonight and watched both. Thank you so much to everyone involved. While I don’t mind the BluRay quality, I hate the extras added in so these fan made versions are a complete godsend.

One thing though, can anyone recommend a reliable Freeware converter for MKV to MPEG2 as had to watch on PC.
Would be great to put them on a big USB stick and plug into my Panasonic TV.

Thanks again!!! Fantastic!!!

The Freemake Video Converter does a nice easy-to-use job (I’m no tech geek so there may be better options out there), it’s available here - http://www.freemake.com/free_video_converter/ - and ermm… is free 😃

It may be worth getting hold of a mate’s Chromecast - or similar device - to be able to watch your original download on your Panasonic tv? (may be easier and quicker than converting etc - and gives you a pretty cheap and easy option of watching any video files on your pc on the tv).

Either way - welcome - and good luck 😃

So… I’m working on another Arrow cover for the entire Despecialized trilogy. This one has a reversible cover.

Trouble is, I’m waiting for the ROTJ 2.0 MKV to be released so I can complete the little details properly. Don’t know how long it’s going to take.

They are beautiful Trilogy covers mate - could you send me a link to download them please (even if unfinished)? Many thanks 😃

Some good fun:-

I'm like Pirlo - I'd take that - wish I had the beard too.

FIFA statement: "His latest behaviour has brought yet more shame on the World Cup and football in general. But enough about Sepp Blatter".

Top penalties from the Costa Ricans tonight - after going down to 10 men for nearly an hour they really showed mentality, technique and nerve in their approach for the pens.

Really hope they beat the Dutch in the quarters.

Frink, imho it's a game of nerve in a penalty shoot-out - your insecurities and frailties put to the limit - a 'do-or-die' type scenario which makes for a great nailbiting climax to a game. I'm a big fan of them - though understand they are not everyone's cup of tea.

Corners are too hard to score from - more chance of injury (stretching to generate that much power that late into a game) - even if the goals were empty.

Top use of the foam - a bit modern though, eh? Most men would have the foam line at the kitchen door so the good women of the household are busy serving food and drinks during the game ;)

Congrats to Costa Rica and Uruguay for reaching the knockout stages - hope they do well.

England managing to lower expectations under the Hodge quite nicely. Roy thinks we 'should take encouragement that we dominated the Costa Rican midfield' (ignoring that they'd already qualified and didn't look too arsed). I'd rather have taken encouragement from qualifying from the group stage (and anything after that being a bonus under the Hodge).

The Italian manager Prandelli has resigned - respect to him. Some managers take responsibility for their campaigns - give the next bloke a chance etc.

C'mon Iran for tomorrow, and Chile vs Brasil in the knockouts.

It has been a while… and my discs of these ADigitalMan Edits have either been lost over time or bit the big one…

but am glad to say these Edits can now be found on FanEdit•info and myspleen.

Note: Sadly, I don’t have the original ADM Edit of Episode 4 (it is proving very hard to get hold of) - but the ADM / Darth Editous Hybrid Edit version of Episode 4 is up on fanedit•info and myspleen.

^I sent you an invite, PM me if I messed up the link.

Thank you mate - much appreciated for the invite :)

Thanks to Frink too for upping the ADM Ep2 Edit.

^ nice one Neglify - I'll just have to wait until some kind soul can hook me up with a myspleen invite for Eps 5-6.

Could you please upload the ADigitalMan Edits - Episodes 1-6?

(I used to have them on dvd - though sadly can no longer find the discs, nor can I find them around on the usual torrent sites).

The good guys have had a bad week.

RIP Bob Crow and Tony Benn.

They are true mate - a few visits to online biographies on him, and some articles such as these will point you in the right direction:-

Though it probably says more about the Tory Party - and the type of people they champion to elect him as their leader. 

As for being PM - we are currently in a coalition Govt - the Tories and the LibDems are 'running' the country. He didn't get enough votes to win outright.

Hopefully he'll get even less votes next time at the Election - the LibDems certainly will.

Sadly we are in the age of PR and spin, the demonisation of the poor, weak and working classes - and those that speaks up for them - all whilst the rich pay in less each year for the rest of us to pick the slack. 'Divide and conquer'.

RIP Mandela.

Beware pygmy politicians and their crocodile tears.

Politics is just a part of it - but more importantly this was people's lives she contributed to destroying - sometimes literally.

Amongst her many other crimes, she is complicit in the deaths of 96 people at a football game - and complicit in their families and loved ones not seeing justice - let alone a full and proper inquest - and following coverup involving the police, ambulance service, FA, Sheffield Wednesday FC, Sheffield Council, the Coroner, the Judiciary, the press, and the Govt of the day itself - including Thatcher - for 24 years come Monday.

Not to mention her backing - militarily backing & training Pol Pot & the Khmer Rouge where a quarter of the population were killed, and General Suharto - who killed 100,000s in East Timor, and General Pinochet - who had overthrown the democratically elected president Allende in Chile.

She branded Nelson Mandela a terrorist - and supported the Apartheid Govt in South Africa, also opposing sanctions against them while her some members of family profited from deals with them.

I could go on, but I think you may be getting a picture...

I'm not a hypocrite - I loathed the bitch when she was alive - and I still loathe her now she's dead.

The 'politics' of it be damned - the people involved matter more.

I see that nobody has posted about Thatcher, so i will.....

To be fair, old friend, you're being a bit hard on witches there ;)

Though hopefully the song will make the Top 10 in the music charts this week - it's already no. 1 on the Amazon and Itunes charts for the UK :)

Good to see modern version (improved framerate but retaining the graphics and feel of the N64 version) of GoldenEye on the pc:-

GoldenEye X - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlz1X0k1ups

GoldenEye Source - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBiaJv1Zruw&feature=related

Strangely, I prefer an afternoon completing game on the 007 levels on the N64 version than playing the new Wii version - even with the Wii online play - the original just has that more addictive gameplay and replay factor.

It's been a couple of years since I've watched any of the Prequels - though I saw Balance Of The Force up on youtube yesterday - loved the new subtitle track - thought it gave a more menacing threat from the Nemoidians, Battle Droids and made JarJar a lot more tolerable.

Looking forward to your Episode III Edit (and your final Ep II Edit too :))

Love watching the ADigitalMan versions - the 2 MagnoliaFan Edit prequels are always worth a watch as they show just what can be done to change a film for the better - or give it a different point of view... ;)

(I hope the Ep3 MagnoliaFan Edit will be up there with the previous releases - looking forward to seeing it if/when it comes out)

The TR47, Cowclops, Gonzo, Editous, Moth3r PAL, EditDroid and OCP sets all raise many a smile as they were amongst the first sets on here all those many years ago...

Jamie's superb Star Wars documentaries can be found in their complete form on youtube...

Is this the version where a (soon old enough) Ewan McGregor has been superimposed over all the scenes in which Sir Alec Guinness appeared in the Original Trilogy?

Or do we have to wait a few more years and watch even more differing versions of the films before Lucas can realise his 'true vision' for his films?

(half jokingly - I wouldn't put it past him...)

looks a very promising game for the wii - and we could do with some more quality shooters, however my ageing cynical brain  is preparing me for yet another sub-standard 007 cash-in (and playing Rogue Agent - shudders) on the standard bearer that was Rare's Goldeneye on the N64...

wow... didn't realise it's been 13 years.

Hope the new wii TimeSplitters 4 game turns out well too :)

Hi Jambe,

Good luck with getting this back on track mate - and hope life is treating you well.

Those side by side colour comparisons are superb - they really bring out the detail - some great work.

It’s been a long time…

Anyone know where I can find a copy of this on dvd?

and what happened to ocp?

Other than selling fanedits and being banned?

Google “Orange Cow Productions” if you must know.

Yeah, I’ve found the “Banning of OCPMovie” thread on here which explains it all. He broke the ‘golden rule’ on here, and endangered the fan community with his actions, so he got what he deserved.

I forgot about ocpmovie was the one who would crap on everyone else’s projects and tell them they were wasting their time. But he was also more than happy to still sell everyone else’s projects on his “available projects list” for exorbitant amounts of money.

And since then adywan’s post that ocpmovie is still selling his and other’s fan projects - even some 4/5 years on after claiming he was “living out of in car” (yet he posted he was living in his apartment, and the address to send the money to never changed?).
