Harmy's RETURN OF THE JEDI Despecialized Edition HD - V3.1
Time

Harmy said:>
Just a side question - I was looking in the technical section for a thread about image stabilization in avisynth (with some sort of scene detection, so it can be used on whole sequences) and couldn’t find one, even though I’m sure there must be a few, so I didn’t want to go starting a new one - could someone help?

Why not Google it? I’m sure Doom9 forums have tons of advice per usual.

A decision on a lifetime blocking one of Russia’s largest Internet resource - torrent tracker Rutracker.org - entered into force. On this day the press service of Moscow City Court.
At the end of 2015, the Moscow City Court twice made the decision to lifelong blocking Rutracker. The first time the service was under threat of eternal lock in early November, when the Moscow City Court upheld the claim of illegal distribution of books “Eksmo”, and in December, the court issued a second decision on the permanent lock Rutracker on suits of “Eksmo” and music publishing “SBA-production.”
For the first time in Russia in October, the Moscow City Court the claim of copyright protection has blocked access to the portal rutor.org and 12 other sites with pirated content on an ongoing basis.
Block all pirated resources in Russia was made possible by the new version of the anti-piracy law that came into force in May 2015 Portals locked “forever” in the event that the court recognizes the portal twice violated the anti-piracy law. Such a site gets in the register of banned sites and blocked Roskomnadzor operators in Russia.

Is this one still being uploaded soon after the Star Wars Silver Screen?

Has anyone viewed/currently have Docsap’s 2 BD release of the Special Edition? I’m getting it now but it will take a few weeks as I’m quite late to the party. Just wondering if they are good quality or if one of the discs is worth it over the other? Thanks.

Where did you find it? It’s not at the usual places and docsap apparently abandoned it according to this thread. Send me a private message.

Song Of The South - many projects, much info & discussion thread (Released)

It’s a sacrilege that they’d withold it though - it inspired Splash Mountain, did it not!?

Heck, I’d go further and say withholding it propogates a racist narrative.  The film takes place in a post-slavery South, focuses on the damage bigotry causes on an individual level, and ends with a message of acceptance and healing.  I don’t trust the motivations of anyone seeking to keep it from the public.

^ Excellent.

Harmy's STAR WARS Despecialized Edition HD - V2.7 - MKV (Released)
Time

moviefreakedmind said:

I know that this is not the intent of this project, but I would like to respectfully suggest a version of Star Wars that includes the Episode IV: A New Hope subtitle along with the more consistent colors from the earlier versions of Despecialized versions reminiscent of the home video colors. Again, I completely understand the fact that this is not the goal of this specific project, but I think it is also important to preserve the version of Star Wars that a great number of fans (and many of us in this forum) grew up with along with the all-important theatrical versions. I would gladly do this myself if I had the ability to do it but I would no-doubt screw it up and fail miserably because of my technical ineptitude. I know that Harmy released the Star Wars 90s SE awhile back and has mentioned a willingness to include the Episode IV subtitle. Again, I’d be interested in hearing if you are willing to do this the next time you revisit the Star Wars Despecialized Edition.

+1 to a consistent-color version like V1.0. I’d much prefer it to the latest versions. I’d love it if Harmy would consider doing that along with his I.B. Tech version.

I hate to keep belaboring this question but where would you find such an HDTV version?

On a HD channel on tv? 😉 Recordings are all over the interwebs, google and you shall find.

To be fair, the release of 2011 BDs essentially erased the 2004 HD from the public interwebs. Pirates don’t generally care about anything but the latest, which is problematic for preservationists.

There far from erased from Rutracker and Usenet.

Star Wars ANH Bluray Semi-Despecialized & CC (JASWFP) V1 DONE (Released)

nightstalkerpoet said:

Just wanted to let everyone know that I’m doing a BD encode of this for my SW marathon before TFA, and intend to be a proper organ donor. I love the colors on this, but will say that for some reason the audio on it didn’t hit my surround sound system well (no clue why, but it just plays a bit tinny). As such, I’ve constructed a stereo track for this as well. The BD I release will have only the stereo track muxed, but I’ll include newguy’s original surround track separately in case you want to remux yourself. (I create my BDs in BDtoAVCHD with Placebo speed and grain preset, but it limits you to a single audio track).

NSP/JSC Trilogy - Althor's 5-AVG (with NSP Clean Up) + Schorman's GOUT Synched LD
Time

“These will be Anamorphic 720x480 releases. I’ll release an x264 MP4 with 192 KBPS AAC first, wait for reviews, make any last minute tweaks, then release a AVCHD-9 with LPCM.”

I’m assuming the AVCHD-9 will be 720p. Are you cropping out the Japanese subs? Will there be optional or hard-subtitles for the Greedo/Jabba parts?

Would love to add this to my collection. The Director's Cut is an abomination.

Audio Info is on page 1, first post.  I believe this project uses the best possible audio quality outside of the original laserdisc audio.  jimbotron235 has stated many times that if he is able to obtain the LD audio he will make it available.
