Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I have the '93 mix ripped straight from the LDs in PCM format, and i would  rather have that instead of the 320kbps mix on the MKV.    is there an  easy way to add / substitute it?   TSMuxer?

Download MKVToolnix + mkvmergeGUI.

IF the audio is properly synchronized, it's work for only a few minutes

Please, if the final release will be cropped, PLEASE release an "uncropped" version too :-)

anyways, you can't just go around dealing with copyrighted material

in this manner, and then releasing it when you're in the industry.

i'm sure he would be blacklisted and all sorts of legal repercussions.

 

since we're (mostly) anonymous in ours, we do have some risk.

but i'm willing to take it on. because this is too important an issue

for me..

 

most people have families, careers, and real life to worry about.

 

i don't have anything, or any of those to worry about..

i live in an empty vacuum. (with some air)..

so even if i get taken out, nobody else will get into trouble

i don't mind taking the hit.

 

besides, it's not like i have a martyr complex.

there's plenty of people on this board that

have taken grave risks to get material out,

and their own versions released, etc.

 

 

i just like finishing projects that i started. 

it's an OCD thing, i think.

We all are VERY grateful that you take this risk ! :-)

how about practicality, price and being realistic (storage)?

i love music.. but i could care less if it's a SACD or DVD-audio, which

are dead.. mp3's at 256k or 320k ARE GOOD ENOUGH.. so are CD's.

DVD's ARE GOOD ENOUGH for most people.

and Windows? what does that have to do with anything?

that's ALL I WILL EVER USE. no need for macs/linux, etc..

NO THANKS!

 

the market HAS SPOKEN, too bad for you!

Music - it REALLY depends on the equipment you use for listening to your music. It makes no sense to require CD (or superior) quality if you listen to it on your cellphone/mp3 player with something like iPod's crappy earphones, you're right.

DVDs ARE good enough for people with SD TV sets. But soon as they buy an HDTV, they will upgrade their movie collection with HD sources. I know it - I have bought my first HDTV only last year and I was shocked when I noticed how BAD the DVDs look on it, even when they looked AMAZING on my old CRT TV.

Windows vs. Linux is a neverending debate, I use both and I'm quite satisfied with it.

But you're correct, the market has spoken.

I too believe that the AVCHD is the most important release, because it is by far the HD format that most people can handle.  

That's funny. I know NOBODY who uses (or even KNOWS) the AVCHD format :-) Honestly, EVERYBODY who watches HD movies watches them in mkv format, or from BluRays - that includes my colleagues, friends, "collectors of unreleased videos", people on various  forums ... People here at originaltrilogy.com are the only individuals which I know that use the AVCHD format :-)

Don't take me wrong, but I just believe that the full Bluray should be the "product" done with the most care, because other people can always create "smaller"/alternate formats from it.

Sorry for the offtopic :-(

I can't understand why people STILL use DVDs. And especially SINGLE LAYER DVDs for 2 hour long movies with multiple audio tracks.

MKV is the future. And the present too

I hope that nobody puts it on myspleen by accident

Poor Harmy :-)

This sounds interesting

Usually it's done by creating x menus, which are identical. So let's say that you want a menu to play 5 times and then autoplay the movie, you can do it by creating the same menu 5 times, and after finishing the playback of menu 1, you play menu 2, etc. and after playback of menu 5 you play the movie. Even many commercial DVDs are made in this way

Hmm, that makes sense, I think I could do that.

I also have the sound menu, which isn't a motion menu, it's fixed.  Do you know offhand how to put a time limit in DVD-Lab on a fixed menu?  Or what to look up in the "help"?  I've searched without success.

Thanks!

You can set the playback time even on a static menu, but I can't tell you where it is from memory (I'm at work right now and DVD-Lab Pro is installed just on my home PC)

Working on the infamous speeder scene now. It's coming out great!

Excited that makes feel me

if you, could you please make it autoplay after a set amount of time?

I haven't been able to figure out how, in DVD-Lab, to get a motion menu to loop for some period of time, but with an autoplay after a time limit.  Does anyone out there know how to do it?  Frankly I don't consider it essential, but if someone knows an easy way, I'm fine with adding it.

This is my last item to clear up (if possible) before it's all done!

Usually it's done by creating x menus, which are identical. So let's say that you want a menu to play 5 times and then autoplay the movie, you can do it by creating the same menu 5 times, and after finishing the playback of menu 1, you play menu 2, etc. and after playback of menu 5 you play the movie. Even many commercial DVDs are made in this way

So what's your "title" ? Ing. Harmy or Mgr. Harmy or what was it ?

Open the movie window, and click on the button "Audio X" (Audio 1/Audio 2...).

A new window appears where you can set the audio, but that's pretty much it.

If you want to label the track, that's probably not possible in DVD-Lab Pro and probably not even in the DVD specification :-) You can just set some attributes like "director's commentary", "alt. director's commentary", "for visually impaired" and "normal" but that's it

The official AVCHD is still a few days away. Guys, I have my FINAL exams tomorrow, if I fail, I'm totally screwed, so I don't have time to f*ck about with this right now, so you'll just have to wait a bit.

As to that bright scene... FUCK IT!!! I already said it looked like this in my reference IB Print scans. Period. I really wish I could post some of them but I promised not to and I'm a man of my word.

Calibrating you monitor to make the scene look like you think it should will TOTALLY fuck up all the rest of the colours in other scenes!!!

Harmy, just ignore them now. The complaints will NEVER stop, because some people just can't understand what was the "purpose" of this "little" project of yours.

Good luck with your exams !

The cloud is a giant step backward...

Are you talking about cloud computing or about the crap what companies like Micro$oft call "The cloud" ?

That's funny, I was about to post about the raw pics.

I think everybody could have just a percent of the total raw files to avoid buying several HDD. This way, three or four users have 20 minutes of the film, another three or four users have the next 20 minutes of the movie, and so on. So then if you need the raws from a certain scene, you just need to ask the users who have them. In fact this could work with P2P...

It would be even better if you release the raws at 4k, for preservation purposes, so we could always reedit them in lossless format and then create 1080p or even higher-resolution mkv, but that's just an idea. 1080p is still nice.

that wouldn't work.. people want all the files locally. i would hate to have to wait on someone making the files available to me when i needed them.

===================================

looking at this again, making a private Star Wars Server would be cool, but very difficult legally.... it would take A LOT of resources to get it up, have server space, do administration, etc.

i HATE anything CLOUD related.

we don't have the files in 4k anyways, that would make it even larger!

================

about the other file formats.. like cineform we just have had issues exporting it those formats and re-importing them back into avid,

after effects etc.

Well that's not quite correct. It's easy to have a private ftp server. You need

1. A computer / NAS / any PC "looking" hardware

2. An internet connection with a pretty good upload speed

3. A public IP address for the machine from point 1

4. Free FTP server software, plus some nice firewall etc

You would be surprised how many "communities" have private FTP servers for a small number of users :-)

This is a HUGE improvement compared to the old PDE and DE 1.0.

It looked absolutely professional, I watched it with my family (with the czech dub for nostalgic reasons) and nobody wanted to believe me that this is a work of a student done on a home computer :-)

EXCELLENT JOB !

I'm going to watch it in a few minutes, and I'm really looking forward !

[rant]After reading this whole thread I wonder how many of you guys have a girlfriend/wife :-) [/rant off]

Add the comparison threads about the various audio mixes, visual alterations ...

Well you guys have actually downloaded it already ? I'm downloading it from a certain pirate bay for the last 3 hours, and I have 0.9% with 14 weeks ETA :-)

I am downloading with cca 4kBps and uploading with cca 100 kBps :-) Is there any chance for an "alternate source" ? 

If not, no problem, thanks anyway to everybody involved, especially the birthday kid !

Happy birthday Harmy.

Could anyone help a brother out with the MKV on a blurays disc? I would pay for postage.

Why don't you wait for the BluRay release then ? :-)

I can't wait till I get home and download this :-) Thanks a lot Harmy and Happy Birthday !
