DEAD THREAD

Ass.

"Even though it toured in Japan, where Lucas’ work is loved widely, the Super Live Adventure wasn’t tailored to the Japanese audience"

"We wanted it to be something that would play anywhere. Unfortunately, Feld Productions were unable to find new financial backing to bring the show to the United States or anywhere else."

Typical Lucas.

lmao. Yes he is "stupider".

perhaps a nice compromise to 720p instead of all the way to 1080p would be the way to go?

anything else you want to know,just ask away.

Now if I only had Verbatim DL DVDr's to burn test them before I do anything else with them.

 

 

Sounds great. When would you say they will be released, and how?

Because its a custom DVD and not a fan edit I don't think Moth3r will allow DJ to say in open forum....but my guess would be the "usual places".

dark_jedi said:

No I am not ditching the DVD's,but the AVCHD's will more than likely just be for myself.

Ah ok. It wasnt bad or anything, quite impressive actually that you could get that to look as good as it does, I just thought that the hardware I'm using does a better job....of course we all use different equipment.

I hope you understand that I'm trying to be as non partial as possible. There are enough "yes" men on here as it is.

dark_jedi said:

I know,not another sample clip,but this 1 has DTS 5.1 sound,and is a little bit longer then the other's(175 MB)

http://www.sendspace.com/file/nr51tu

This is ready to be burned and tested on your Blu-ray player or PS3,I have tested on both.

until I figure out how and what to change on g-force's script this is still the way I did the other samples above,and this really needs to be tested on your HDTV,at least for me,when I look at these files on my PC or even look at screenshots,it does not do them justice,it looks a lot better in motion and on my HDTV(again this is my opinion I am sure others might disagree).

Wait, are you ditching the DVD then and going for a AVCHD? Cuase the DVD was looking real good....

I played your DVD sample on my HDX-1000 NMT with a sigma chip and it seems to do a better job upscaling to 1080p then your other sample....sorry but I see halos in your HD sample and none on the DVD sample upscaled by my box.

Bad media. That or your burner is dying....is it the standard crap burner that comes with a Dell?

Very nice looking video sample DJ. IMHO the offical GOUT audio is shit. So for my money it's between the other two. Realize this is coming from 40 yr old ears, and not being an audiophile with all the lingo and tech knowledge....I like the straight LD Belbucus PCM ripped audio the best. Santanika's 5.1 is good but it seems to lose something going from the 2.0 to 5.1. The 2.0 PCM is crisp clear and rich sounding....just like I remember the Laserdiscs. Anyway for what its worth there ya go.

I have a right to my opinion too. You're a douche bag.

Yes I am an intolerant ass sometimes but I have NEVER demanded or try to bribe anything from a fan editor in here....

You're worse.

I'll donate some more, but I'd like an exclusive preview for the donors, like the longer 8 min or preview he did for ANH:R, sure it would spoil some of us, that don't mind being spoiled a bit. We'd also have the agreement to not post it anywhere online.

This makes you sound like a complete douche. Maybe you might rethink your attitude.

dark_jedi said:

well I will have to synch the PCM's,they are way off,the sound starts way to soon,so these are not already synched to the GOUT LOL.

That's all well and good if YOU think that's the way to go. It looks like I'm the only one making suggestions so I'm feeling a little weird about that....make YOUR set and myself and others will be sure to appreciate your work...

dark_jedi said:

still tossing around the idea of swapping the "Retail" audio for an upgraded one though,I don't see any problems with that,so is the Belbecous PCM's that much better than what is on the GOUT DVD's already? and I mean a signifiacnt difference,not just a tiny minor one.

That's the rumor right? I thought that was the general idea that the PCM was a much richer better sounding mix. IMO.

Total bitrate for the DVD format including video, audio and subs can be max 10.08 Mbps (10080 kbps) according to http://www.videohelp.com/dvd.

Is this what the English call "taking the piss out of me"?

At least that's what I think Gordon Ramsy would say if he was into Star Wars and reading this thread....

Damn Ady you had me going...

What do you think of the idea of just replacing the audio with a superior one? Whether it be the Satanika or Belbecous... after all the video has been replaced right? If you only just replace the orginal audio then you could keep the menus the same and "retail" looking....

If my memory serves you need to open up that archive labled "VIDEO_TS_files_fixed" and use those files to replace the ones in the original archive.

If you have any problems please post in the ANH:R thread and I'm sure many people will help you get it done right....

Here's hoping for 3 DL DVD9s.

dark_jedi congrats on a very pretty looking set....way better looking and I can only imagine better sounding than the GOUT.

Thank you darl_jedi for doing what some of us cant.

I guess I am in the minority here,I friggin liked this movie a lot.

I haven't seen it myself yet...thought I'd post the review though.

It was a joke perhaps done in poor taste but...sorry.

I sincerely wish you the best and have faith that you can pull it off. Unlike fishmanlee who is just some kid trying to fit in...

perhaps your stash has gone bad.

Copy and pasted from here

The worst summer in recent memory continues as Michael Bay brings his slow push-ins and Lazy Susan dolly shots back to the cineplex with Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (hereafter Transformers 2), the ugliest, most hateful, most simple-minded and incomprehensible assault on art and decency since the last Michael Bay movie. It's bad (that goes without saying), and it's possible that even its fans will have the brute sense to recognize that it's bad--but it's bad in such a way that defies easy description. It's so bad, it's exasperating. The action, as you'd expect, is impossible to follow, with long stretches cascading in on one another without the slightest notion of who's winning, where, and to what end. But that's not why it's bad. It suggests that the evil robots have perfected Terminator technology in the manufacture of a gorgeous slut-bot (Isabel Lucas), who, before trying to kill the returning Sam (Shia LaBeouf) with her go-go-gadget tongue, is humiliated by having heroic Autobot Bumblebee money-shot robot semen all over her face. But that's not why it's bad, either. Ridiculously poor filmmaking and Bay's wearying misogyny aren't "bad," per se, so much as they're the tools of his auteur canon, of his absolute gold-standard grasp of what it is that prepubescent boys are into and his desire to, as fast as he can, create undercover hardcore porn to gratify those desires. What else to make of the weird girl issues--the entire co-ed Michael Bay U campus populated with hot bimbo chattel, Bay's camera leering obligingly? It's tough to make someone feel sorry for Megan Fox, yet the extent to which she's objectified in this flick has you looking for track marks, smeared mascara, and other evidence of bus-stop porn-star exploitation.

Neither is it bad because of an appalling racism that sees white actor Tom Kenny doing the voices of Mudflap and Skids, Amos & (gold-toothed) Andy robots who declare themselves to be illiterate after a film-long minstrel show. No, Transformers 2 is bad because it represents every single vile, puny thing that's wrong with the United States. It's ignorant, boorish, loud, and proud of it. It takes a moment to imply that Obama is a pussy for appointing some suit to run super-secret, massively-destructive human/Autobot strikeforce NEST, then expels said suit out the back of a cargo plane carrying a bunch of grunts who need to be told that a desert full of Egyptians are "friendlies." Unless we've been at war with Egypt, of course they're fucking friendlies--exactly whom is Bay educating? He's educating the audience assembled to watch Transformers 2, naturally, because said audience is packed to bursting with idiots on the one hand and people hoping against hope to recapture something of their lost youth on the other. The problem with Bay is that he hates you. He thinks you're a moron and then you go about proving him right by making his movies obscenely popular. He also hates the Transformers as a cultural relic, having them fart and piss and shit and, in a fairly embarrassing moment in an embarrassing film, sport a pair of giant testicles. Of minor interest is the fact that Bumblebee, unable to speak but in borrowed sound bites, favours Tom Hanks' heroic astronaut Jim Lovell and retarded Republican shrimp farmer Forrest Gump. It's proof positive that Bay is a smart guy, smart enough to understand that Hanks is the voice of the American everyman--meaning Bay isn't dangerous accidentally.

As if it matters, Sam is going to college when giant robots start fighting each other and his hot girlfriend dry-humps a motorcycle and runs in a halter top and slow-motion. Is it pointless? It's at least pointless. It's also cacophonous and bloated with testosterone, a loud picture of Michael Bay's tiny bicep inflated with ILM and THX sound, speckled with what he thinks is funny, like two little gay dogs fucking each other (and a tiny robot leg-humping Megan Fox), for instance, or those old standards of elder/bimbo/Stepin Fetchit humour. Transformers 2 is a dossier on Bay's shortcomings as a human being and, sadly, by extension it's a snapshot of how we scramble to indulge the worst things in our nature in the dark, in the company of others destined to be either victim or victimizer in their own sad dramas. It's a primer on how we learn to make war by falling in love with the weapons of war without assimilating the real message of Bay's films that all that firepower is the vehicle of male sexual frustration, insecurity, and inadequacy. This is without stopping to consider Bay's trademark collateral toll: hundreds in Shanghai; thousands as all hands go down with an American aircraft carrier; dozens and their camels in the Egyptian village; and the dignity of everyone involved. Running at around 140 minutes (with a good forty of those taken up by lacklustre flying-the-nest drama featuring Sam's parents), it's as much a dusty monument to the self as the pyramid Transformers 2 destroys at its conclusion--a futile grab at immortality, a collection of screamed performances and shooting at stuff that isn't damaged by shooting, and destined to be a gaudy testimonial to our humiliating, cyclical indulgence of bellicose policies and antiquated social attitudes. It's all so last administration.-Walter Chaw

his battle with Psuedo-Vader in the cave was some saber practice i can tell you that much

Have you even seen all of the ESB? Luke disobeyed Yoda by taking his saber with him into the cave....it wasn't "saber practice".

The cave was meant to be a teaching tool...to learn what his own inner weaknesses were....

Maybe you should pop in the movie and watch it again.

I've just tried burning this twice to play thru VLC and both discs appear empty?   What am I doing wrong?!?

 

 AFAIK, it will only show up in a PS3, no?

no. If you have the UDF 2.50 driver installed you can view the video in windows using VLC, Media player classic amongst other players. Just open the BDMV>STREAM folder and just play the .m2ts file

 

Just a quick question. When I use the test clips, they will play in vlc but with little jumps and lags. The audio has no issues. Things are slightly better when I open the file through the streaming option.  I wanted to make sure what this meant before I tried to download the real thing. I'm referring to the IV sample. The clip with the pre-2004 Emperor works almost flawlessly-just a few little lags. I tried the 14GB sample of ESB and the video was one giant lag. Not sure if I have the UDF 2.50 driver or not (running on Vista).

 

It sounds like your computer isnt up to snuff. It plays on mine flawlessly. Make sure that your hard drive is defraged and that your not running any other programs in the background.
