What is the main video difference if any between AVCHD MKV (8GB) and the MKV that is 20GB? Thanks in advance!
Bitrate higher in mkv as well as more audio and language tracks.

myspleen torrent up now. I stole your thunder, Zer0Squared >:D
Awesome, thanks.
Really cool. Hopefully someone can upload to the spleen soon.
Not sure if it's been mentioned on the many pages before, but I was wondering what is the highest bitrate I should use convert the MKV to MP4 for playback on PS3. I saw on the ESB thread that the MKV for ESB v2 would be 15000kbps. Just trying to get the best image quality possible with the setup I have.
Thanks

I strongly advise against letting a conversion program make AC3 out of the DTS-HD MA. Dolby Digital encoding has several user-defined parameters which I specifically set a certain way to optimize the sound quality as well as to maintain the integrity of the mix. It is quite likely that the results will be subpar if this kind of transcoding is performed, because it won't follow my intentions and the result will not match what it is supposed to sound like. The level and relative phase of the surrounds and LFE can be harmed significantly if this is done incorrectly.
Also, the official Dolby encoder has a more capable algorithm than any freeware version, so my AC3 will definitely be better. As has been stated, remux the video and audio into the required format without re-encoding either in order to maintain quality and deliver the proper results.
That sounds like something I would love to do with SW 2.5(until MKV for ESB comes out). I would like to watch it on my PS3, but I only have a pair of powered speakers connected to it for the moment so DTS is out of the question. I would like to combine the MKV at the highest bitrate (15000 ?) with the AVCHD 2.0 mix. I have a muxing software, but not sure what to do with it. I guess I need to extract the video part from MKV, then the audio from AVCHD, then recombined into new MKV, then convert to mp4?
Just getting started with this stuff, and only because of you guys work on those SW movies.
Thanks for any tips on how to achieve this.
It's on myspleen. Search Harmy.
Thanks again!

OK! It's up on the Spleen.
Enjoy, folks. :)
Downloading as we speak. Thanks for this.
Zer0Squared said:
Ok. Let me zip it up all up into one file and I'll throw it up to Spleen.
Standy by.
Awesome! Thanks

If somebody could up this to myspleen it would be much appreciated. :)
That would be nice indeed. Only at part 8 on tehparadox...really slow. Will be worth it though
Christmas 5 months early. Thanks Harmy!

You know what? I wasn't going to do this, but since I have the most recent version of ABC's score restoration, I'm going to assemble a GOUT-synched isolated score from that, starting right now.
The sound quality of his latest effort is better than what's on the existing edited version, so it will be worthwhile. Assuming I don't run into any unexpected difficulty, it shouldn't take long to complete.
35mm stereo mix is now finished, aside from final quality check.
Fantastic! my favorite SW score by far, and I think it's one of JW's best ever.
Harmy said:
Yeah - perhaps not quite as many but still a lot.
Will there be a isolated score? Really loved the one on SW 2.5. Sounded amazing.
Thanks again for getting this to us.
I'm not able to contribute right now, but definitely will in the near future. Really worth it.
You guys are amazing. I'm really happy and grateful I discovered this project
Sounds like a good plan. Looking forward to it.

Not sure if anybody encountered this but when loaded on ipad as mp4 the playback freezes then turns black. the audio track is still going though. It's fine when played on the pc as the same file.
Thank you so much for doing this, it's incredible.
No problem here. What app are you using to play it with?
I've played it successfully with CineXPlayer and VLC.
Forgot to mention. Tried to play it from ps3 to tv with same result. No picture whatsoever. Should I try saving it as a mts?
thanks
I absolutely cannot wait for the full release. Better than Christmas!
I was using just the ipad player, but now thanks to you I'm using VLC and it works great. Fantastic.
Thanks a lot for the fast reply. Film looks great.
