Don't mess with FFDSHOW if you don't want to have f***ed up Windows. Install the XviD codec, that's ALL you need
Install the official Xvid codec. That's what I install right after Avisynth.
The Enterprise blue screen shots were all shot on film if I remember correctly

No size is too large for something that important!
the size is Terabytes, you'll have to
supply your own hard drives. that's the plan.

I currently own 8 external 1TB drives. Is it enough or do I need to buy more ? :-)
I hope you have a facial mask on :-)
A couple of new comparison pics btw : http://tng.trekcore.com/bluray/#minos
Is at least the Enterprise the model ? It looks CG in the shot :-(
I'm used to download from ulozto with avg. speed 30-100 kbps from home :-)
Hm... ulozto goes surprisingly fast - 300kbps, thanks :-)
Great !
Harmy, which Czech TV will air it and when please ? :-)
In my country films died officially early this year. Even the last "distributor" stopped distributed film and changed to digital.
Many of the movie theatres in small towns closed down, they simply could not afford new digital equipment :-(

The only Star Trek I saw much of while growing up was Next Generation and Deep Space Nine. Both were beyond dull. Characters so bland and dialog so stiff I've always wondered what attracts anybody to the franchise. I saw the Original Motion Picture when I was about 10 and it was the first time I saw a film in which the special effects shots were what bored me out of the film. Shots of the Enterprise floating through space at a snails pace and seemed to last hours. Recently I've checked out the original series and found it much better. Very groovy and full of retro cool. I'm actually kinda excited to check out more!
So, for me, Star Wars is better because of the 'real' and interesting characters and effects that dazzle rather than bore. Also a story and characters that are identifiable and exciting are much better than a story and characters that are unrelateable and dull.
it's all opinions.
For me -
Star Trek TOS - brilliant, as soon as you get to the 60's way of storytelling.
Of course there are a couple of very stupid stories like Spock's brain but most of them are pretty good.
The Animated Series - started as a great sequel to TOS but turned into a cartoon for 6 year old kids VERY soon.
The Next Generation - has great episodes and also pretty bad episodes. However I REALLY went into TNG with the later seasons, which had much darker and scarier stories.
Deep Space Nine - boring. I started to like it only when they came up with th e war arcs in the last seasons.
Voyager - piece of shit. Never liked it as a kid, and only last year I made myself to watch it completely, and the only thing I like about the series are Seven Of Nine's boobs. Other than that the show sucks.
Enterprise - great season 1, good season 2, great season 3, very stupid season 4. No wonder it got cancelled.
Movies - every second movie is great. The reboot movie sucks. It's even worse than the Star Wars prequels

You should definitely do Jedi! Of the three original films that one was altered the most egregiously (I think). Those changes are unforgivable.
Fortunately enough Jedi doesn't have so many changes like the other 2 movies

Can you post the schematics for your mad invention so others may re-create and possibly improve on the effort?
I would LOVE to see the video of the setup that negative 1 mentioned doing earlier (mostly because I'm a big nerd about that kind of thing, and it looks super neat). You might could improve on it, maybe, but without a good print to work with what would you do with it??
edit: also, a video about the setup would make a nice extra on a dvd/bluray :)
And I didn't know there were any manual focus point and shoots. Keep up the good work, we're all super psyched for it!
well, it could be used for other movies.. we've already got empire
transferred, and might do jedi..
anyways, unless you need it faster, you could improve the speed.
basically, you just need to buy a used telecine and modify that
with what you can work with (motors,etc). ideally a 35mm film
projector could be altered also.
yeah, i'll upload the video at some point.
there won't be any extras or features with the movie.
it doesn't need it. but we'll have all kinds of stuff for
download for people that want an archive of the jedi.com site,
and all the making of's and preliminary stuff. there's a few
hours worth of it. no point in filling it up on disc, when
that space can be used better for audio/video tracks.

You can be ABSOLUTELY sure that here are people who LOVE the making of documentaries, and similar stuff. If you could use the stuff you have for other disc(s) or make it downloadable, many many people would be happy
So many fantastic things going on this forum these days :-)
I love both. But I would never say that one is better than the other

I have now seen the trailer for the 5th time and I absolutely love the grainy dirty 70's film look ! Do you have a "release date" already ? :-)
Is it on your site ? Cause it sounds great :-)
No I can't :-( I can only choose 29.97 or 25
OK, I'm just learning how to edit HD video, so naturally I tried to create an "extended version" of Star Wars.
I ripped both the movie BluRay and the bonus BluRay, and taken the correct m2ts files. So after a few "tweaks" all my sources were m2ts files with 23.976fps video encoded as AVC, and one 5.1 ac3 track (the movie had of course DTS but I converted it to ac3 before putting it to Vegas).
I have done carefully all edits which I wanted and now I want to render the final movie. Since all my input files had 23,976fps and 5.1 ac3 audio, I of course want to render the video as a 23.976fps (I don't care about the codec/container right now) and 5.1 ac3 audio. How should I do this ?
I am using Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 10.0.
My first attempt was an "m2t" - I thought it's the same as m2ts but definitely isn't :-) The file was encoded with the MPG codec (I don't really care), the framerate was correct (23.976 progressive), BUT - the audio was only MP2 stereo :-(
After changing the settings I was able to create a m2ts file, which had the video encoded in AVC, and the audio was correctly encoded as a 5.1 AC3, BUT the video is encoded as 29.97fps and I honestly can't watch it, the movement is completely unnatural (I guess because of the creation of unnecessary frames)
Any help ? I really want for the start just a video with 23.976 fps and 5.1 AC3 audio. Or what am I doing wrong ?
You guys have definitely darkened it TOO MUCH
I can't wait to see your version :-)
Did somebody of you guys check the 4:3 pilot I uploaded on myspleen a couple of months ago ?
Could somebody please upload the audio track somewhere else for those of us without usenet access ? Thanks
