the cat is out of the bag..

lucas has successfully sold a ton of blurays,

so star wars in HD is safe, and in the hands of people

that want it in HD if they didn't have it already..

 

there's not a whole lot left to do,

and not that many people are really going to wait

around forever to see if the originals come out...

 

so the timing is a lot more relaxed now before,

then when people only had access to the HD broadcast versions..

i really don't think this will make much of a dent honestly.

only the few people that are interested in it will seek it out..

much like the 8mm, and 16mm versions have their audience,

so will this..

You forget that Georgie Porgie retired recently. He's got nothing better to do than troll forums and kill child hood dreams. 

I 100% support your project, and wait patiently(not so much) for the day when I can watch GOUT HD.

I just hope you guys don't take Lucas too lightly, and stay safe.

Hey all,

I'm pretty much a lurker on this site. I read a lot of the threads, but rarely post.

Anyway, I just got the first piece of what will be a Star Wars leg sleeve, and I wanted to share with real Star Wars fans.

Let me know what you all think.

25gb for each blu?

How do you plan to distribute these? Torrents would be miserable.

Can I please snag an invite to myspleen if possible?

Also, any news on the release of the blu's?

I've said this before, but X264 is the way to go for a manageable 720p release. You can upload the video and audio sperately to keep file size even smaller, and let the downloader chose which audio stream(s) he prefers.

For 4-6gb worth of video, x264 will give you the best 720p video quality at a realistic size.

How is this, it is an MKV sample of SW V3.

I'm really glad you are considering releasing these in MKV. For those of us that stream to our TV, there really is no substitution for the superior quality of an x264 release.

I doubt that DJ will be making an h.264 MKV version available.  That's what I'll be doing for my own personal collection, but I doubt DJ will be doing it himself.

I really don't understand why this wont be released in MKV. It would take almost no effort to make the encode from the source material.

That would be far superior to recoding from the down sampled audio and video of the DVD9.

* All DVD's have a static menu's with audio, and will be DVD9's.

This is what I am shooting for, and as far as audio bitrates, I am not sure, like to keep as high as I can obviously, but I am limited to what the DVD will let me(total max bitrate), so final bitrate I will only know once I get them authored up and see, hope this helps somewhat LOL.

 

I've been lurking (and waiting excitedly) in this thread for a while. Huge props for such an undertaking.

Have you considered encoding into x264 to max out both video and audio bitrate? Most people stream video, or have media players these days. 

Max video bitrate and max 5.1 audio bitrate would be a dream come true. As close to a GOUT blu-ray as we'll probably ever come.

If anyone would be so kind as to seed the xvid version on TPB, it would be much appreciated.
