Help: looking for... HD VERSIONS
Time
EyeShotFirst said:

Let me explain to you.

Blu Ray does not look as great as everybody says they do. The big difference is how much blu ray holds i think like 2 or 3 times what a dvd can hold.

Their are many fan edits presented in hd for instance Darth Editious and Adaywans look better than the 2004 dvds.

The Original Unaltered Trilogy well lets just say we are all working on it. Ive tried my best to make the OT look better but dayamn I need the full anamorphic masters to do a good version. all i have is laserdisc and pan and scan.

The prequels are in standard dvd format so they look as good as a dvd can look. About High Def and or Blu Ray releases NOT YET. thank george lucas for the hold back on the releases. When GL releases SW on blu ray. Blu Ray will probably be obsolete so we will have to wait until their released on Red Ray.

 

You clearly don't know what your talking about. Jeez man, its just embarrassing.

Hey Ady,

Love the ion cannon except the arcing that is visable in the ion blast....to me it makes much more sense that the arcing would occur once the blast hits something metal...however you know me whatever you come up with for the final is going to be fine....

Thank you for your tiredless hard work.

 

Maybe if you get burned out on ESB:R you could release the 1080P ROTJ? ;)

 

Keep up the good work and thanks again Ady.

ADYWAN-

I have some questions for you, although not 'Edit' specific. If you have time, consider this kinda an interview.

1- What change have you made (Star Wars or ESB) that you liked the most?

2- Has there been anything you wish you could edit, but never found the best way to fix?

3- Have you ever found yourself opinions swayed, or been particuarly surprised at the suggestions or comments of the boards?

4- Have you ever gone about fixing something, only to decide after you liked it better before, or instead that afterwars you liked the new way it was so much you felt like you wanted to do more?

5- If you could have a beer with George Lucas, what would you say to him?

Thanks

Maybe a PM to Adywan instead?

Could you do it with a little better video quality?  It was so far pixelated that you couldn't see the lip sync, which I think is part of what you were concerned about in the first place, right?

 

No actually the video isn't the point at all. I revamped the audio. The video is just there so you can tell what scene it is. I'm not concerned about sync. Just listen to the audio and compare it to Revisited, it's much better I think (not that Ady didn't do a great job with Revisited, but his skills were much more in the video department, and his audio edits are good but he didn't really touch up the source). When I finish it I will distribute an ac3 without a video for people to mux themselves.

 

Actually Han's line that you replaced stands out and is quite jarring. I think it may be because Leia's line echos and either her echo changes just before Han speaks or her echo is cut off, either way I'm sorry but to me its jarring and noticeable. Maybe you could try to blend Han's line a little better?

 Well yeah that was just hastily thrown together for the preview, just to show what I'm doing. I think the reason it's jarring is because of the difference in background ambience (which I will fix). The echoes wouldn't be the problem, because the echoes are in the other channels and I only cut things from the center channel. (eq to all channels though)

 

 I will spend much more time with blending it in when I make the final version.

But other than that did everything sound good? 

 

It would be interesting to hear the final version...

 

Also Bingowings has a good point. Maybe you could start your own thread about this mix?

I would love to get a copy of your star wars projects and I have tried to figure out how to download them. Here are the problems I am having.

alt.binaries.starwars doesn't seem to exist anymore.

I have no idea what a "torrent" is.

I don't know how to access myspleen, the webpage just shows a username/password login.

RapidShare doesn't have a "search" option.

Is there any website that I can access ( or an exact link to rapidshare ) that has the ISO image available for download?

 

a.b.sw hasn't gone anywhere but it has a definite learning curve. I need to do another repost of my projects, definitely. I'm also afraid that the torrent route might not help out, as I highly doubt that SW or Empire is being seeded much if at all at myspleen... Just checked and as I thought, no seeders. That's the problem with torrents. With age they just die. Shoot me a PM with your address and I'll send you a copy.

Right now I might as well come out and say that I probably won't ever have the time or inclination to do Jedi. I just don't have the time or passion anymore for working on these kinds of projects. I mainly check in here now just to keep up on Ady's and Puggo's projects. Nothing else really holds my interest anymore.

Can't say I blame you for your feelings, but you've got to know that hundreds of people LOVED your releases....maybe one day you'll get the passion again....let's hope.

I can tell by your questions that you've probably talked to a military recruiter. Don't believe a word they say. They will promise you anything and everything but are not legally bound to adhire to any of it. Ever hear of the saying, "Blowing smoke up your ass"?

What's your IQ? If its below 80 sign up. If its above 80 do yourself a favor and don't act retarded by signing up into the military. Work your way through college and earn your future for yourself....however if you really want to flush your life down the toilet, be my guest....

 

Wait just noticed your entry, "And my one of my life goals of going to Las Vegas and doing ever drug known to man might change that."

Yeah your definitely retarded, the Air Force could really use you. Congratulations.

 

vbangle, I am offended that you actually believe that only "retarded" people serve in the military. Thanks to all those "retarded" people you get to live in freedom. That is a jerkoff thing to say and I insist that you apologize to all of the fine young men and women who have served, and serve our great nation.

 

Sean, just do it. You'll realize just how big the world is all on the dime of the United States. They'll pay your college, train you to shoot, instill you with respect and honor, and you'll be a better man in the end.

 

I'm entitled to opinion dickhead. It's one of those things we call "a right" as in the Bill of Rights? Freedom of Speech, maybe you've heard of it. I don't give a flying fuck if you were offended by my comments or not. In fact the only person(s) that have any say on whether my comments on this board are appropriate or not are Jay and Moth3r.

Already seen one of these and they are a total waste of time. They had a blu-ray movie playing on it and the picture wasn't that great. Who in their right mind would buy one of these? Yeh, for movies with that aspect ratio you lose the black bars (well not all of the bars) but its pretty much useless for every other type of movie and TV viewing. Its even crap watching a movie that has that ratio if you need to have subtitles on. I asked the guy at the stand to turn on the subtitles and they were cut in half, with most not even showing because their placement is usually in the lower part of the picture, in the black bars. now when i got him to play the menus of that disc well that really showed what a piece of crap this idea was. the picture kept resizing itself unless he changed the tv setting to zoom.

you see, how this tv works is the same way a standard hd tv works when using the "full" function on the ratio control. it senses the black bar areas and zooms & crops the image to fit the screen. so movies that have a different ratio to the 21:9 ratio of the TV will look odd and have the incorrect aspect ratio. watching a movie that has a 16:9 ratio becomes squashed or you have to change the settings to zoom and then the image is cropped to shit and just forget even attempting to watch anything that is 4:3. So pretty much useless for watching Tv channels

I was asked to leave the stand at the tech show because the guy who was demonstrating it didn't like the way i managed to get him to show just how crap this idea and the TV was.

 

Sounds perfect for Negetive1....you know for someone who thinks Blu-ray is a dead format and DVD never took off.

 

Maybe he can watch his Laserdiscs on it and think he's finally got the setup....

Darn... EVERYTIME I think I can just forget about TPM you go and bring up Jake Lloyd.... :P But really Christensens acting isnt that much better than a 9 yr olds... LOL okay *whew* back on topic...

 

Ady.. .FANTASTIC WORK!!!! so good you bring a lurker out to gush in awe of such coolness, I cant believe Im actually excited about a new Star Wars Trailer coming in May!!!!! Not since 1999... DAMMIT!!! theres that TPM again...

 

Its not Hayden's fault he was given crappy dialog. Hes not a bad actor.

You couldn't be more wrong. Hayden can't act to save his life. Does he even know what method acting is? I doubt it.

The stiff has one look on his face for every emotion....is his character mad? Que the "Hayden Stare". Is his character happy? Que the "Hayden Stare".

I've seen no name off brodway actors with way more talent than Mr. Woodie.

You want to know the mark of a good actor? No matter how crappy the script, a good actor can pull it off, Hayden can't.
