So, can I download this somewhere else than on MySpleen?

Yes. Usenet.

When someone downloads it from wherever Harmy uploads it to then uploads it themselves. So it just depends on how long it takes them to download it, really.

Ah. I thought Harmy just did a direct drop to the main sites. But that explains why the various versions there are not all uploaded by the same user. Makes sense now. Thanks for the clarification. Back to patiently waiting…

No need to wait, it’s at Tehparadox right now.

No it’s not. I checked.

PM sent.

I’m searching all over there and I’m not really sure it is.

EDIT: Found, thanks.
It is there. Check your PM’s.

The Phantom Menace Despecialized?

That was my guess also. I remember Harmy long time ago saying he wanted to do that eventually.

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.

kat.cr and pirate bay. why would anyone torrent from shady russian sites?

They have full BDs and BR Remuxes from all around the world far more often than the two sites you mentioned, as well as some rare TV/VHS/DVHS rips in great quality.

For music fans no other site comes close to what you’ll find there either.

“The users of the Russian Federation in the next few days
will be blocked access to rutrekere”
(The banner at the top of the page)

I’ve read elsewhere today that the site may eventually go down altogether for the rest of the world.

Rutracker completely blocked

TASS
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.

While the rendering for the 25 G mkv version will be going on. We are also working on a more manageable 9 G mkv 720p version also for those that want a smaller size.

ESB Sanitized V3 - [Eastman-Fuji Hybrid]

Format : 720p 9G MKV
VIDEO : 720p .h264 video
AUDIO : 35mm theatrical, PCM audio (not restored)

We hope sometime by next week, this version will go up, for those that want
a good quality preview, before the larger version gets released.

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.

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.

Was anyone able to convert the Hdclub 17g rip from MPEG2 to AVC MPEG4?

‘Ripbot264’ should do that quite nicely.

I’ve been looking for adywan’s version for some time now

It’s on Usenet.

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.

No one’s done a standard def dvd-5 version of the work print, have they? I’d like to make a set of the DVD versions of these for my friend for Christmas, but the DVD-5 for Jedi 1.0 on Myspleen isn’t very good.

By all accounts ‘BD Rebuilder’ is very good at converting HD to SD-DVD.

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).

😦

joefavs said:

The AVC is a lower quality encode

• AVCHD

Yep, the Rancor has to stay in.

“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?

fmalover said:

My PC can’t handle a file of this sort. Couls someone upload a 720p version?

Try converting with Ripbot264, Vidcoder, or Handbrake.

Would you mind sending me the link?  This sounds EXACTLY what I am looking for.  I saw the play a few weeks ago and remembered my quest to find this movie as you edited it :) Thanks!
