I need to thank Jetrell Fo for providing the decrypted DTS CDs. I think he must have posted requests for help all over the internet to get help making this film’s original audio available. Thank you Jetrell, if you are still around!
I’d like to see AOTC as well, and as far as confirmed differences, I can think of only four shots in the film. Anyway, I have the audio ready if that project ever gets going.
Ok, it’s up on the spleen.
I completed this as a little side project in 2014. Last night I went through and updated the Theatrical DTS decode and added custom PGS subtitles. I’ll be posting to myspleen later today.
I don’t plan to sync any other Audio tracks, but this should be fairly easy for others to do as this project will conform with the NTSC DVD release. The Theatrical DTS audio does not seem to be missing the 36 frames after the crawl, as suggested by Andrea, so I left that as is.
I have not changed the color timing and this will basically be the same as my previous HDTV release, with different Audio and the wipe added back in.
Cheers

They are included with the Digital Movies Collection through MoviesAnywhere.com, fwiw. Also, the streaming versions don’t have the baked-in 3:2 pulldown present on the Blu Ray.
Edit: Nevermind, only Classic Creatures is included with the streaming versions.
Yeah, I was able to rip it using jdownloader.
The youtube videos on the official star wars channel look pretty good btw.

Edit: This is the best version:

I saw someone on twitter say that TFA is a dog and TLJ is a cat. TFA is just easier to love because it’s more interested in being loved. TLJ is going to require some time and work.
For any Oasis fans on here, TFA is As You Were, and TLJ is Who Built The Moon?..
Nice! Much appreciated.
Try the Deck Link Mini Recorder paired with an HDMI splitter that strips HDCP.
Althor, I’ll put some frames with the IR damage matte up on the share tonight.
Many thanks Poita. I should be able to play around with this and make a script in avisynth that makes dirt removal a whole lot smarter. As long as you have the IR to use as a mask anyway. Dirt on top of motion will probably still be problematic but getting it to hone in on only dirt and not a laser bolt, for example, eliminates half the battle I suppose.
I haven’t used any professional dirt removal tools other than pfclean. Perhaps dirt removal isn’t that big of a problem like it used to be for guys like you with all the right tools.
All the audio work that I’ve done for Team Blu has been synced to the 04 DVD’s. ANH should sync exactly to the DVD, while TESB syncs except for the updated Emperor scene, and ROTJ syncs except for the Naboo shot during the Celebration scene at the end.
Not popular enough for someone to upload it to a public tracker, and even if someone did I’d be shocked if it was still seeded.
Got my version, “TPM_AVCHD_ADYWAN” 7.85gb, converted it myself to MKV, hopefully that one is with fixed sound?, here is mediainfo from mkv https://hastebin.com/newutejuta.sql
I humbly suggest you download the 5.1 track from my LD audio archive as a replacement. It’s fully synchronized and it hasn’t been re-encoded, as adywan’s original was.
And where can i find this?

I don’t want to toot my own horn, but I feel like these should be included:
They are from the same master. Some pressings may have different cbs/fox intro graphics.
Danke!
Could I please have a PM? My daughter is now in a German Language program at school and wants to watch Star Wars in German!
Poita, it’s great to see you back.
I’d definitely be interested in seeing the '97 SE scanned. With these three and TPM scanned, we would just be missing a couple shots from AOTC in HD.
I can probably donate an 8 or 10 TB drive if necessary. Also, if you’ve got the external drives, couldn’t you just disassemble them to remove the HDDs?
I have the option of scanning the 35mm version of TPM if there is any interest.
Great, I would love to help with this, if needed.
If the glitch is in my source files, please send me a pm about it. 😃 It might be something that I’ve already fixed.
As far as the mono audio goes, using two channels is probably the best option, but the diagram should still be the single dot. This is pretty standard on commercial film releases.
Using only a single channel will force the audio to the center speaker. This is fairly straight forward when encoding to AC3 or DTS, but lossless sources like PCM or FLAC will require setting the channel mask bit on the file to 2. Without setting that bit, the audio may only be played from the left speaker. The disadvantage to using a single channel is that most users have better speakers for the FL and FR channels than they do for the center. Those users may prefer to have the audio coming from their better two front channels than from a single inferior center speaker. Many surround systems do not use a full range speaker for the front center channel. Using a single channel source, playback through the two front speakers may be difficult to achieve without altering the setup of your AV Receiver.
Achieving correct center-channel playback from a two channel mono source will simply require engaging pro-logic decoding. Since the Left and Right Channels are identical, the decoder will send the entire signal to the center speaker. The main disadvantage to the two channel format is that when encoding to AC3, it wastes useable bitrate and therefore quality on that second audio channel.
I’ve been out of commission for a couple weeks due to Hurricane Irma. I was very sorry to read about this this morning. Poita, I hope you receive only good news.
Ah, that makes sense.
Extra Frame? Every single source I’ve ever seen has the same number of frames for the title/crawl/flyover: 2834.
Be patient. He’s not even done yet.
The only little things I can see to change would be to smooth the edges around the larger moon, and maybe address the “blinking” stars during the crawl. That’s just based on the vimeo version, of course.
Ok, This will depend on the authoring software you use, but I’m going to assume you’re using TSmuxer on Windows.
Download and extract ffmpeg. here
Copy this text to a new batch (*.bat) file and save it in the “bin” folder where the ffmpeg.exe file is saved.
Number or label your six wav files in the correct order 1-L, 2-R, 3-C, 4-LFE, 5-SL, and 6-SR, select all six files, then drag & drop them on the batch file you just created. The batch file will make a new output subfolder labeled “51” containing your 5.1 w64 pcm file, which is readable by TS Muxer.
