Harmy you're still the number one choice for theatrical cut of Star Wars according to this first comment on this recent reddit post

http://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/19thq8/can_we_petition_disney_to_release_the_original/

The best post on that thread was someone who said that Disney should produce a special edition of the prequels, and call it the "Deshitified Edition".

There wouldn't be anything left to produce then.

The Empire Strikes Back is the best Star Wars movie. Or is it?

I prefer Star Wars over Empire.  The fact that 3PO, in Empire, is almost as annoying as Jar Jar ruined any chance of it being my favorite of the OT.

 

WRONG.

;-)

Threepio annoys the characters in ESB that's not the same as annoying the audience.

He annoyed this audience member much more in ROTJ (I felt too sorry for his wounded dignity in the PT to be annoyed by him).

Well for me it's in Empire that 3PO annoys me the most.  I've never really looked for it it just jumped out at me in Empire.  Now, after your post I'm going to look for the annoying 3PO in ROTJ.

Missing 1 block tho :(

 

That's the 'HDnet' version from Rutracker some of us were talking about earlier in this thread.  WOWOW and Canal + are both far superior to that.  I have all three from 'HDnet' and got them from Rutracker.

How weird is that, I was just about to burn the 14gb unmolested Canal Plus transfer with commentaries and making ofs to a BD-R, when i thought I would check the site out!

Is this hard to find now?

 

 Yes, It's almost impossible to find now, unfortunately.... 

Almost everybody on this topic is looking for this version.

Or the WOWOW version.  Which is superior though?

I don't think Harmy should be expected to produce step-by-step guides for how to burn discs.  He is doing enough work as it is doing the restorations.  Once his 2.1 is finalized, others can produce step-by-step guides in a separate thread.  All these how-do-I-do-this-and-that is cluttering this thread terribly.

Wherever it ends up being would be greatly appreciated also I don't think it would clutter anything up as posting a guide would end all of this confusion once and for all

 

Dude, you seriously need to learn how to use google.  It really isn't that hard.  I'm very proficient at these things and I learned quickly just from searches on google.  It didn't take long for me to figure it all out.

Has anyone checked this version on usenet: [Deleted]

That was posted 4 days ago and it's the bluray that will be released in two weeks.  (leaked of course)  From what others said it will probably be censored like the DVD and although it has the best PQ by far of any release it's not what people in this thread are looking for.

Quick question - I have the 2.1 MKV downloaded and when I try to add it to txMuxer, I get an error: Matroska parse error: invalid H264 NAL unit size. NAL unit truncated. Googling that implies that the .mkv is not compatible with blu ray and I need to do some type of re-encoding.

So what is the right way to burn the 16GB .mkv file to a blu ray that I can play on my PS3?

The mkv was most likely muxed with a version of mkvmerge GUI newer than 4.1.1.  I use 4.1.1 for all my mkv handling.  Download 4.1.1, remux the mkv, run it through Tsmuxer and all is good.

OR

Use mkvextractgui 2 and extract the tracks you want from the mkv and load those into tsmuxer.  The only thing I worry about with this option is whether the audio will stay in sync with the video.

Any interest in this still?

 

BTTF is DNR-free on Shaw on Demand and I can record it over HDMI, but I'm not sure if it will be better or worse than the H264 Russian capture. This is just MPEG-2 source.

 

 So, did you have the chance to capture it recently?

I need some tech support before I can.

The device I am using is the BlackMagic Design HyperDeck Shuttle 2. The damned 10-bit uncompressed QuickTime files won't play on Windows for me. Error message about a component missing.

Google is your friend.....

In any case, he's not getting anything from us out of the deal, so if he takes another 5 years, he'll have been pretty generous to do it at all.

Yes, I definitely agree with this but I don't recall any faneditor posting all over the forum except in his own project thread.  Sorry, it just bothers me.

What was the reason for the use of DVNR on the blu ray.  I mean if they restored the movies and the quality was there for all to see why ruin it by removing an integral part of the image and what the Cinematographer intended us to see?

The film prints i saw in theaters way back when were very fine grain anyway and not grain heavy except in the scenes where you had optical generations for the special effects.

There was zero need for Universal to DVNR a film that was not so old.  I mean 1985 with the first film was the oldest.

 

Man is this thread bringing me down.  My all time favorite movie and one of the greatest movies ever made and they had to go and eff it all up.

On top of that it appears the WOWOW and Canal+ versions might never be available again. : (

i have very little skill and no good software

 

AvstoDVD is free; great program for converting files to DVD-compliant structure. 

Use HCenc encoder at 2 passes with DVD9 as your output.  There should be guides you can google.  AvstoDVD isn't that difficult to use, for the most part the default settings should be fine.  You'll have to know whether your player is NTSC or PAL and choose the correct one.  PM me if you have any questions.
