Please tell me that’s not an actual thing.

OK i got the Star Wars, DE v2.7 (Towne32 edit) AVCHD.
but i am haveing trubl with ImgBurn.
https://image.ibb.co/jikWnb/ffwe.png

unlike ROTJ. where i got a ISO File (.iso)
i got a BDMV folder with more folders inside.
i tryed this https://www.dvd-guides.com/guides/blu-ray-copy/260-burn-blu-ray-avchd-using-imgburn
but the calculator gets stuck at 99%?

The calculator just tells you what percentage of the disc the data would use… You don’t really want to hit a full 100%.

As far as the effect of the label drying, it was the biggest problem for CDs. CD surface/label layer is the data layer. If you damage it, or write on it with pencil or rip it off with a label, that’s your data you’re removing.

Fair enough, what I encountered at work quite likely was a burned CD rather than a DVD. I didn’t realize though that DVD is less susceptible to data loss from label side damage, that’s interesting to know, and I’ll certainly be looking into that more.

I think from that perspective, Adywan’s version of the Emperor scene is by far the best.

I would agree if it weren’t sped up. I get that he was trying to make it match the original performance and ROTJ better but with his inflections and delivery it just sounds unnatural to me. It definitely looks the best tho

You need a printer that has a tray specifically for printing on discs.

bummer. I guess I’ll go get the Sharpie then.

Or you can, despite them being printable, buy adhesive CD labels and print disc art on those.

It’s what most of us do, I’d imagine.

only use adhesive labels if you want your disc to be unusable in a year or two. the adhesive warps the disc when it dries.

At work I’ve seen what adhesive can do to burnable media over time, it is not pretty (and I’m talking like just scotch tape… there were visible “waves” out from it in dye on the other side). Not to say that every adhesive will do the same with every disc, but it has certainly given me great pause in ever considering doing the same at home to anything I care about. Inkjet printable is as far as I go, and I’ve done so with surprisingly good results on a very affordable epson printer, which you wouldn’t even know has a CD tray unless you look just right…

OK some what helpfull but when I try your link I get this
https://image.ibb.co/bX6FtG/DWB.png

That’s odd. Maybe a pdf copy of that website will help.

I’ll post a link for you with “WeTransfer”. The link will only be good for 7 days, but that way I don’t need to worry about maintaining it.

How to write an image file to a disc using ImgBurn

thank you.
I just got some more disks So i can just try it now.
I’ll tell you what happens when I’m done.

Well, it isn’t amazingly hard, if you do it right the first time it should only take one disc… Ask specifically if you have any doubts, we can help.

Though, Frink has the Empire footage/audio already timed for this particular length… It is good as is, and changing it fundamentally might be more burden than it is worth (though some of the ideas do sound good). Just my 2 cents on Frink’s side.

okay after several failed
and 1 partially successful 10 hour download I managed to get the HARMY DEEDVI V2.5 AVCHD MANUAL rar on my PC.
I then used 7-Zip to decompress it.

i got "headers Error: Wrong password?
and
Wamings:
There are some data after the end of the payload data
CRC failed : Wrong Password? : ROTJ v 2.5 AVCHH\ROTJ-DEAPECALIZER_V2.0_AVCHD.ISO

I wanted to see if it would work at all before I tryed to burn a disc

so I tryed to play the file with VLC
because that can play almost anything.

I can’t play it at all. What gives?

Honestly, WHAT the problem is should be pretty darned obvious, you need a password to open the rars correctly… I’d say what the password is, but I don’t know if that’s allowed (though it should be darned easy to guess with only a few attempts), so I’ll defer answering that till I know if I can.

Edit: Unless… what the heck did you mean by partially successful download?

TV’s Frink said:

Oh hey look, I checked of one of those last remaining to-do items…adding “ambient” background noise to the theater scene.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOBUptQ5n5A

Dammit, you asshole… it is perfect. Exactly represents what the modern movie going experience is like. Funny enough, just today I was talking with Sam Jones (of Flash Gordon) about this very subject of food noise in theaters.

Ha, early-2017 TV’s Frink was an idiot. Granted, late-2017 TV’s Frink is also an idiot, but has the advantage of being closer to 2018 TV’s Frink.

To answer the question, yeah there’s too much to be done still in the next 2 months.

A workprint is nearly done but I need to put more time to finishing all the little remaining items left on my to-do list.

I went through the to-do list this afternoon, killed a few old ideas, and what is left really isn’t too daunting. I can now express confidence that there is a 42.7% chance I’ll be done before 2019.

Ironically, greater than 42.7% of all statistics are made up.

dahmage said:

I’ll give my dad the bad news.

Me too.

dahmage, I’m sorry, ROTR won’t be done this year.

Whether it is a perfect example of irony or not, I at least meant to present it ironically in the context of those sentences. Though when looked at with more scrutiny, it could be funny to think of Harmy’s work as the reverse of the Special Edition process, and not in a high level, obvious, Despecialized mission statement sort of way, I mean how the SE’s got worse all the time with each release, Harmy’s gets better all the time with each release… Partly Despecialized lining up (not chronologically, obviously) as being Harmy’s answer to the Blu-ray tweaks, 1.0 being an answer to DVD tweaks, 2.5 a response to '97 theatrical tweaks (and 2.1 for the title tweak, dropping SE from later VHS covers, officially supplanting SW with the SE)… 2.7 being an answer to the '81 crawl tweak… 3.0 finally meeting up harmoniously (Harmyoniously?) with the original theatrical release.

solkap said:
Each subsequent release is just a more highly polished edition of the films.

And boy are we a community that loves it when someone constantly tinkers with our favorite films… * irony *

If not fully satisfied with this movie, please return unused portion for a full refund.

Actually, that might be a fun line to put into the last seconds of your credits.

Wow, I just noticed something I personally hadn’t before about the SE (I don’t view it any more than I have to, and got sucked into a clip of Kenobi showing up in SW embedded in some article I was reading), right after Ben says “Hello there” to R2, in the following shot of R2 they totally forgot to add shadowing on him from the stupid rocks… And then the shadowing is back, darker than ever, the very next shot of him… Add in that crazy “Obi-Wan getting a hummer in a back alley of Mos Eisley” yell (my favorite description I’ve heard of it), the whole scene is just bottomless insanity.

Harmy said:

I’m sorry to say I’ve been so busy with work that I had no time or energy to do any work on Star Wars.
We have some big projects ending in September, so I’m hoping that then I could start doing some work on Despecialized.

We’re probably mostly all just glad that you’re well and still keeping the project in mind. We’d all be thrilled to see this quickly come to fruition, but obviously you need to get the important stuff in your life done first. Still, come the end of some work projects in September, perhaps it is a good time to take a little vacation time to focus on …other… activities. 😉

The Bull’s Eyed Womprat said:

After watching the Kennedy interview, I think when she says ‘those will always remain his’ she was referring to the edits themselves, not the SE’s. Implying she doesn’t want to be associated with the changes at all.

LOL, who would?

It’s going to be interesting to see just what film elements they end up using as their starting point when the OOT is inevitably restored in the next several years.

And imagine the huge “we told you so” if they wait just a little too long and the original film elements fall apart when they finally touch them.

They have the separation masters, they may even have a pristine interpositive (first generation copy). And film stock from the seventies doesn’t turn to dust, even after 40 years.

I’ll keep my sarcasm in my own way, and I’ll leave you to keep yours in yours.

If this ISIS was still around, we could hire them to “liberate” the negatives. 😉

generalfrevious said:

The OT are not just mere films; they have become far more than that in just a mere four hours of content.

Indeed! By now they’ve become closer to six hours.

robertelee said:

Sorry if this is slightly off topic Harmy, but what is your profile picture of? It looks like Vader, but closer inspection reveal that it isn’t… sorry, I have literally been wondering for years, and tgought I would go ahead and just ask.

We’re barely a week from the sequel coming out, the reference should be more relevant and recognizable than ever, haha.

NeverarGreat said:

This is where I was as well, and even though her answer was rather vague it is disheartening. Guess it’s back to work 😉

Also, I don’t know if it is necessarily disheartening that the head of Lucasfilm has announced they aren’t further ruining the OT through continued SE dicking around.
