What a pleasant fellow. I love seeing that someone responded in this thread and realizing that it was vbangle supplying more of his omniscient wisdom.
Ouch someone give me towel to cry into.

Why do you say Verbatim is the best blank media?
Why do you want to continue discussing off topic? PM me instead please.

Firstly, vbangle, the guy was innocently just trying to cover the edit's ass - no need to give him a big know-it-all response.
Also, keep in mind that copyright laws differ from country to country. In Canada, for example, when you purchase a product you can do whatever you want to it. Make copies, edit them, w.e. Hell, you could legally do a private screening on your own property with no profit. Showing it publicly is when an issue comes up.
First of all, you can show/distribute it if the work is either meant for educational use or if it is a parody or in satire - you cannot make a profit off of it though.
You are not allowed to have a public screening outside of those two scenarios, nor are you allowed to upload/distribute copies.
Owning the source material - based on Canadian law - would theoretically make it valid. The other individual could technically make the same edit with what they have, and have just as much of a right to the fanedit as do you. Technically speaking, if you purchase the necessary sources for a fanedit, and the faneditor gave you the EDL (edit decision list) you could reconstruct the fanedit - providing you with the actual finished file is just skipping that step.
The laws regarding this are pretty much the same thing in the States.
So short answer, yes it's legal, as long as you have legally purchased the source material.
EDIT: Regardless, that wasn't even his question. He is just making a recommendation to put in a disclaimer - which I'm sure he'll probably do.
Canadian law, lol.

I don't care how much my BD-R cost, I want the best which is Verbatim.

Is this totally illegal though? I assumed that owning the source material enabled it to be legal on a viewer to viewer basis?
I'm more concerned for the project's sake than my own. And it is a point raised by Revisited originally.
You know what happens when you assume something don't you?
First, you don't "own" the source material. Just because you purchased the Blu-Ray doesn't mean that YOU own it. LucasFilm or whoever it says in the Copywrite notice is the one that owns it. It is "illegal" to break the encryption on the Blu-Ray and make a copy. It is illegal to distribute said copies...but you know what? I don't care and neither does LucasFilm apparently. So maybe you could just drop it and relax...but of course if some nervous nelly like yourself, who keeps posting about this problem all over the internet might bring undue attention to fan edits and then it would be a problem, wouldn't it?
"a big disclaimer" as you put is worthless. Disclaiming something that is illegal in the first place doesn't change anything, its still illegal.
Relax and stop living in fear is the best advice anyone could give.
Besides, this is Adywan's project, shouldn't it be up to him what and where he puts his "disclaimers" ?

I would like to donate blanks to this project, so I would like to know how this works ? I would think an amazon gift card would work, but I dont know how you guys wanna do it, so please send me a PM with info, and I´ll get some blanks sent your way :)
I'm wondering the same thing. Thanks!
Amazon allows you to ship to a different address than your billing address. I'd PM or email Dark Jedi or You_Too giving them a heads up on whats coming from you to them and when to expect it.
ROTJ was the first film I saw multiple times because I wanted to.
And in 1983, I had my own car, my own money...
I know that ROTJ is the weak link of the 3 films but dam it if it isn't my favorite just because of my own unique memories when watching it.
It's gonna be cool seeing Jabba's Palace the way it should again, and long live nub nub!
And no dam Hayden Christensen either, YES!
Bless you Team Blu!

Just putting this out there, I'm rebuilding the 1977 Zoetrope® 6 Channel audio, in effect its 5.1 surround. I'm using the 1977 Mono muxed to support all 6 channels and normalized to the 5.1 levels to build each track.
I saw the pre messed with version 57 times, I was a sonar tech and know my sound....
But you're upside down?

I suppose with the right colour-wheel, single-chip DLP can be OK. You'd still have the rainbow effect... The problem is most single-chip DLPs are designed for office use, so they boost white brightness at the expense of everything else by putting a clear segment in the colour wheel. It's great for powerpoint, terrible for everything else. And by necessity you're losing brightness because the projection system works by using colour filters to block out light; in the simple case of an RGB colour wheel, you're blocking out two thirds of the light at any given point in time. Three-chip DLP splits the light rather than filtering it, so it maintains brightness. That said, my frustration in that regard comes from me trying to light 180" and larger screens, not home theatre screens.
We've got a bunch of single-chip DLP projectors for our convention. Some Viewsonics, some Optomas, some Dells, some Acers, some BenQs, some Vivitek, and I might be forgetting some. They all uniformly have terribly colour, no matter what buzzwords they put or how well they claim to do. We put 'em up against one of our newer Epson 1940W, and the Epson just kicks their ass even when the Epson has a lower brightness rating.
That said, there is one disadvantage to 3LCD; it's not an LCD panel with RGB strips, so 3LCD tend to have a convergence issue; the red/green/blue subpixels don't line up perfectly well. You never notice this for film, but it makes them less than ideally suited for powerpoint.
I must admit, though, that I've never looked at a specifically home-theatre intended single-chip DLP projector, so my views may be skewed. It may certainly be true that they can have great colour when designed specifically for that task. The problem is that most of the projectors we're buying these days are over 4000 lumens. There are no home theatre projectors of any kind in that brightness range, only office projectors and in that range 3LCD beats the heck out of DLP office projectors.

That's strange - I've used the exact same settings for the AVCHD as for v2.0 and it came out quite a bit smaller (by like 600MB). This on one hand means, that I'll be able to add a few extra audio or subtitle tracks but it's a bit worrying.
Harmy, I ran v2.1 through Handbrake (while, for the audio, only using track 1) at the same settings that I had used for v2.0 and the resultant M4V came out larger.
v2.0 is 2.54GB; v2.5 is 2.58GB
You have version 2.5 already? huh.
Sick good. It's crazy you guys can make the GOUT look like that. This blows away DJ v3 and those looked very good.
The only thing lacking for me is the weak star fields but I know that is the limitation of the source material you guys are working with, nothing you can do about that really...and I completely understand that. Its just a slight bummer because the rest is just so nice to watch and listen to.
When this set is done, and if I am lucky enough to acquire it, I might be tempted to call it quits in looking for that next Star Wars edit or preservation. This edition is that good.
The GOUT was a turd that polished up pretty good after all.
Thank you guys.

I love ya man but.... today is 5 years working on this. How about a detailed 5 year update for us? I not only look forward to this but to finally getting into the nuts and bolts of ROTJ:R
I thought you were full of crap saying this was the five anniversary but dam, I guess it is. 5 years isn't what it used to be.
Saw a Dodge Dart today, thought of DJ.
Aren't there two BD releases of the trilogy? Are the 25th anniversary editions good transfers?

Please send requests to Team_negative1, thanks.
Well that clears that up...
Actually your new avatar gave me a "ah-ha" moment. I clearly need more flair.
The horror.

What's with the hostility? I don't see anything wrong with that answer. This year is soon compared to three years or ten years but it's not soon compared to next week, so it seems like a completely valid answer to that question.
No hostility was meant. Seems there are some on here that are easily offended.

So is this going to come out anytime soon? I'm stupidly giddy at the prospect of seeing a real 35mm scan.
Could be this year.
Join the blog to find out.
Team Negative1
So the real answer is, No, not any time soon. That's all you had to say.
Pictures of kittens would give this thread the warm fuzzies.
Biggest disappointment of 2012.
This thread scared me for life.

Is anybody worried about Disney? As much as we are angry at George Lucas for screwing up Star Wars you do have to give him credit for not taking legal action against his fans. Now that a major corporation without its history based mostly on Star Wars has taken over I worry that Disney won't think twice before bringing the hammer down
Where am I?

v2.0 was released as a ~14GB MKV.
Where can it bet found? Been following the thread off an on for a long while now, but was not aware that v2.0 was finished.
Usenet (a.b.starwars) and MySpleen.
Thanks :) I will check usenet as I don't have MySpleen
Edit: Can't seem to find it on using my usenet providers search. Checked binsearch, is it Fixed_DeEdv2.0?
Yes, I believe that's the latest, fixed, release.
Ok, thanks :) Binsearch is saying it requires a password, does anyone know what the password is for the .rar?
The password is in the NFO document.

How are you guys viewing this movie are you just watching on your computer or do most of you burn copies to discs? What is better a DVD copy or a Blu-ray copy? What is the best way to package the discs? Do you guys put labels onto the discs or just leave them blank? I have heard of adhesive issues related to labels.
Never use paper labels. All you're doing is making the disc unbalanced and will kill your drive. Use printable discs, either ink jet or light scribe.
But personally I don't use discs at all anymore. I have a dedicated server with TB's of MKV's on it to a media player.
Where did I put my Aloe Vera?
