I was going to use ImgBurn to create an ISO to burn, but I noticed Empire (and RotJ) only have BDMV directory, no CERTIFICATE folder like in the SW ISO. Will there be issues playing them on blu-ray players without it?

Should I just create the folder, with subfolder BACKUP?

 Empire and ROTJ are AVCHDs.  Strict AVCHDs don't need a CERTIFICATE folder.  Only blu rays need a CERTIFICATE folder.

Would really love to see what someone could do with a high bitrate anamorphic transfer of this source. With no Japanese subtitles, and no (or maybe minimal?) color correction / glitch cleanup.

Well for what it is worth I am doing my final video encode now and if all goes well will add the audio tracks and mux into a BD25 for upload 

7.37 gbs would be BD9 size.  What happened to BD25?

You guys ROCK.

But not as much as Edward Van Halen.  : )

You're welcome though!

Forget about the DVDR above.  I found on Usenet recently a 1080i HDTV version and burned it as an AVCHD to a DVD9.  It looks great on my HDTV.

Edit:  PM me for details.

Batman facepalm, if we all went on what reviewers said this forum would be very quiet 

Fair enough.

I never found an Avisynth plug-in that accepts a paint program's histogram functions numbers. However, in the Song Of The South thread, I noted that VirtualDub with a plug-in (Gradation Curves v.1.46b by BBugBunny, A.K.A. Alexander Nagiller) allows for a manual reconstruction of the histogram graph:

I know it's cludgy but that's the best I could find.

IIRC, I found that script where I was following some of your posts (can't remember in which thread, maybe THX1138?), and I used it with my SW:ANH '97... it was really hard to achieve a good result, took a long time and a lot of tests, and I was not really satisfied with it... hope the new tests with this ColourMatch method will be even better than the current ones.

My dad even complained about Neo's green beard the last time I lent him the BD.

... at one moment, I thought to be crazy, but now that someone else noted it immediately, there are two options:

1. me and your dad are good observers
2. me and your dad are mad about wrong details

at least now I'm not alone anymore... (^^,)

About a preservation project: it seems there is some interest showed in this thread, and I definitely like the idea to do it, along with theatrical DTS soundtrack. Leave me one day to test further, post new screenshots, and if they will be better than these ones, BAM! "The Matrix [spoRv]" could be reality! Should I dare to do it?

[spoRv]?

dvdmike said:It barely resolves over 720 in detail, it is really bad 

Do you agree that the HD DVD is better?

Exact same craptastic encode

 

It can't be that bad.  I just skimmed through a bunch of blu ray reviews and they all say that the video quality is great.

 

 

Please describe the image you attempted to post since I can't see it.

IMGBURN works great. just make sure you set the options accordingly.

 

http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=9512

 That is a VERY outdated guide for burning BDs with Imgburn.  The latest version of Imgburn is much more user friendly and intuitive.  That guide I feel would only serve to confuse and make things more difficult than they should be.

Edit:  Okay, that might have been a tad harsh.  Parts of the guide will be helpful but the rest I still say is like what I said above.

It's really not that complicated.

Right now:

2.1 = SW
1.0 = ESB
1.0 = ROTJ

Personally, I don't see any reason to wait for 2.5 for SW.   Version 2.1 looks awesome and 2.5 will only have minor tweaks that I rather doubt I would even be able to notice.

There's only one problem with version 2.1 though.  Unlike 2.0 there's only an AVCHD and not a higher bitrate version.

It's disappointing that ROTS is only available in a 7.9 GB version though.

If you ask nicely, on tehparadox, kk650 may oblige and encode a bigger 16GB version, I suspect. He probably still has the original project files...

 There's no need to ask.  He's posted a 16gb TPM, a 17gb AOTC, and he said in a couple of threads that ROTS 16gb is coming up soon.

Awesome!

Now please do a Back to the Future Filmumentary!

Hi.

I'm new to fanedits, and I was wondering if someone made an edit of ROTJ including at least the deleted scene with Luke finishing his lightsaber? And if possible with less ewoks and the original dance bit.

 

Thanks in advance!

That and much much more:

"Graphical button"?

 I'm pretty sure he's talking about that "Endor experiment" picture that when you click on it (hence the 'button') sends you to your Vimeo video.

There should be some way for older members of the forum to approve new thread ideas for actual creation of new threads.

Even in the off-topic forum?  It's not like I'm spamming.  Of my 259 posts only 3 of them were used to start a new thread.

There is a movie thread for stuff like this.

So much for "Unmoderated" off topic forum.  When I feel like making a thread to rant about something I will.  Besides, what are you worried about this thread will disappear into oblivion soon enough.

TV's Frink said:

The fact that these movies have a thread is disturbing.

Did you even read the first post?   I don't find anything disturbing about trashing them and saying it's the worst trilogy ever.  The movies on the other hand and all the rabid fans of the first one is what I would call disturbing.

Oh and to that other guy, I have way too many posts to be considered a noob.

When is/was the 30th Anniversary BTW?

This has got to be the worst movie trilogy of all time.   All three were awful and unfunny.  The only genuinely funny part in the trilogy was when Bradley Cooper sees the tiger after he wakes up in the first movie.  Zach G. has to be the most annoying unlikeable character in movie history.  None of these should have been made let alone a trilogy.   Pretty much every comedy in the last 10 years is way better than this crap.  It just boggles the mind how people raved over the first one and continue to while saying 2 and 3 aren't as good as the 'amazing' first one.

Rant over.

IMO the covers are good but I feel there's too many titles on the cover.  My immediate thought was 'Take me to your cinema' has to go.  With all those titles it just looks too 'busy'.
