I never considered Empire superior to Star Wars.  I did like it when it was first released and even had a laserdisc of it a few years after that.  After a while, the things that I had never liked about it (Vader as father, Yoda, 3PO silliness) ended up becoming the things that caused me to lose interest.  To me, it felt small and stylized compared to Star Wars.  It was too slick, too formula.  I very much prefer the vast unknown, far away adventure of Star Wars.

I agree with you.  Also, the script and acting are noticeably better in SW (esp. Guinness and Cushing).  ESB has lots of cool stuff in it for saga fans, but as a movie, SW can stand up against any film ever made.

I dunno about that. There is a lot of weird delivery for me (Especially on Harrison's part) in Star Wars.

Any examples?

Wait Despecialized TPM? What's wrong with it?

I'm not sure why anyone would want to watch that much Jar Jar especially with the great "mostly de-Jar Jared" edits by Q2, Seciors, and L8Wrtr.  I watched the original recently for the first time in a long time and I don't plan on ever watching it again.  Absolutely horrible.

Does anyone still have the 14GB MKV of ESB?  I have inadvertently deleted it. :(

If you know where you kept it, and haven't filled that harddrive completely with other stuff, there's a chance it's still there.

Google around for "restore deleted files" and you'll probably find some software. I don't remember the name of the software I used last time I accidently deleted something, or I would have told you.

EDIT: Found it now, it was "ParetoLogic Data Recovery".

'Recuva' is a free option :

@ crissrudd

You should try multiAVCHD.  This program specializes in all things HD.  I've converted many HD files to SD-DVD with it and you should be able to use all the audio tracks you desire.

Thank you!! I'll try that.

You're welcome and check your PM's.

Seeing the color correction in the remastered edition had me curious about that sacred technicolor print since it's such a miracle to have it at all for reference; if there was anything that concerned me the most about what fans have been dealing with for so long, it's the potential for future generations to be brainwashed by how Lucas wants everyone to view the films as they are instead of keeping such a beloved piece of pop culture in tact to stand the test of time. Unless I didn't read into the details enough to which anyone is welcome to correct me, it saddens me to think we may never see Empire or Jedi in such a preserved condition beyond the limitations we've compromised with; despite the reality of the situation at hand, just being able to not have to settle with the official versions and relive them as we remember them is a priceless opportunity to which Harmy and everyone else who made this possible deserves eternal praise as the rebels who dared to do the impossible.

   I agree with you. Harmy is working on V2.0 of Empire(which will be done some time next year), and then V2.0 of Jedi(about 2- 2 1/2 years from now).    

???

That can't be how long we have to wait for the other two.

Yes, I am obsessed with them at the moment, thank you very much.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with that IMO.

 If it's one of the HTDV release, where can I find it? Should I check my spleens?

But seriously, who doesn't want more of the world's greatest adventurer?

Anyone that doesn't want to watch a 70+ year old man in that role.   The series should have ended in 1989, everything else just taints it.

Wow this is really bumming me out. I've said before that I wasn't buying this set but the look of Raiders is a further setback.

I'm not saying the colour palette is wrong, just to my eyes Spielberg (so much for no changes) went a bit too far. The frame cropping doesn't help either.

Thanks to those posting the links and caps.

This set is overpriced to begin with so the wait for the eventual separate releases isn't a problem and I'll definitely pick up Temple and Crusade when that occurs.

In all likelihood I'll get Raiders too, to complete the trilogy, and make the HDTV rips less immoral.

If this is out of line I'll remove it but could someone who knows about this sort of thing PM and let me know that the rips I have (Raiders 9.94GB, Temple 12.5GB, Crusade 14.1GB) are the best versions? The file names all end in W23, as in the release name, and all are 1080p.

 

 

Check your PMs.

If anyone really has a problem with the color timing of the new BD box set, it's a simple matter of getting the 2008 HDTV Broadcasts. The timing is relatively similar to the Lowry, and it's available in really high HD quality (on the scale of 20 GB something captures).

Anybody know where to find this version besides newsgroups? I'd love a PM. Teh only seems to have a 9GB version with missing links. Hmm... might be time to finally fire up one of those free trials.

What exactly will be the 2.1 changes? Would it make sense to wait for it before working on the German version?

CatBus,

Interesting.  Those are good points, but I actually see the AVCHD as possibly being the MOST important release.  I'm looking at this from a "spread HD restored SW to your less tech-savvy friends" perspective.

While it won't look as good as the BD or MKV, it'll still look pretty amazing.  And I know plenty of people who have BD players, but I literally know no one (save some people on internet forums) who has a BD burner (I don't have one either).  I think for most of us trying to spread the gospel of an HD, restored SW, being able to get near-BD quality with only a DVD burner is essential.

The MKV is great and all, but to me is the least convenient, and probably not very useful to our less tech-savvy friends.

Just my opinion.

edit: whoops, everyone answered this much more quickly and succinctly than I did :)

CatBus said:

FWIW, here's how I see the releases in different formats:

 

AVCHD: I don't see much point now that it's not the top video-quality tier for the DeEd anymore.

Ummm...  You do realize that a lot of people don't have BD burners, right?

Oh, and I definitely would like a V2.1 of the AVCHD, Harmy.

Edit:  Ok, I saw your edit but still I think there's enough demand around here for an AVCHD.

Harmy said:

Muxing it now, so if everything goes well it could be online in an hour or two.

Awesome!  I can hardly wait.

What's the latest on the AVCHD being uploaded?

@ Harmy:

640Kbps is within AVCHD spec. :

Harmy said:

So, AVCHD doesn't need to be 448Kbps, that's just for SD DVD, right?

Yes, 640Kbps is within spec. :

I am (VERY SLOWLY) downloading the covers and wanted to ask, are they already at the proper size for a printer to produce them for a BD case?  Or, will they need to be resized?

 

What covers are you talking about and where are you d/ling them from?  And yes, like it was stated before 'Undercoverxp' is a great program for printing out covers.

The covers are linked in the first post.

Right.  THE V1.0 covers that is.
