In regards to the actual documentaries, the Miami versions are merely updated and have a few corrections.

However, these 2 DVDs did not have any DVD extras (which are listed on the back covers of the originals) and no DVD_ROM folder extras either.

Since I wanted the newest version and with extras, I rebuilt the original DVDs - replacing the original documentaries with the updated Miami editions. Nothing was modified or re-encoded and are DL DVDs.

Then, since I wanted to make SL versions, which obviously entailed re-encoding, I decided to take advantage of the situation so I also deinterlaced, sharpened the image a bit, made them progressive and adjusted the chapters to match more closely to chapter points of the originals.

Well, enjoy your signed copy ;)

Cast-signed Star Wars poster:

I found it here http://file770.com/?cat=121

edit: I just noticed Darth Vadar's signature... lol

I think you can just rename the exe file to rar 

I'm looking forward to this as well.

And what awesome covers to match this great project :)

I just have one question: Will there only be NTSC versions or will there be PAL as well?

weird.. easiest thing is to install hotspot shield

Thanks for the info.

I tried but no luck getting it listed at preserve.

So I have just posted the new multiupload links/dlcs at tehparadox ;)

I'd rather the dog slow rapidshare over torrent when it's not a new release.

Torrents don't age well. Plus, I would have to seed donkey's years and it would take donkey's years for people to download it.

Obviously, dog slow is better than donkey's years ;)

I looked at Sharebee  but it's just a bad version of multiupload.

But what I was asking was where can I post the multiupload links when it's all uploaded.

The size of the discs that I downloaded are:

EDI TC = 7.57 gb (includes EDI_COVER.rar)

EDII TC Disc I = 4.22 gb

EDII TC Disc II = 4.10 gb

I added EDII_COVER.rar as well for a total of 15.89 gb.

It took me the better part of a week to download the 3 discs from rapidshare due to the 57 minute wait between files (why not make it a whole hour? geez...) but at least I got it :)

I think that I will upload it to multiupload and exclude rapidshare as a destination so it would be at multiupload itself, megaupload, zshare and hotfile.

So where can I post the links?

I'm not sure if fanedit/preserve will create a listing for it if it had not already.

No worries Oldfan :)

DO5: I'm really glad to hear that you are happy with both NTSC discs and that you had no issues :D

The quality is actually as good as it gets, as the bit rate of the original Miami discs weren't all that high either.

Of the 2 NTSC discs, I think that BE disc came out better because I used the default settings of LimitedSharpenFaster when doing the RTJ disc. This disc looks really good in Media Player Classic but looks like it may be tad too sharp when played with VLC. But it probably doesn't matter when watching on a TV via DVD player.

To sharpen RTJ SL PAL, BE SL PAL and BE SL NTSC, I used FFT3DFilter which is dog slow but it has the option reduce artifacts after sharpening. I was really happy with FFT3DFilter's output if not its speed LOL.

Oldfan: It is on 5 different servers. You can split the links by file host and only download from the servers you choose.

Personally, I always delete the rapidshare and hotfile links and only download from megaupload, "directhttp" (ie. multiupload), and zshare - in that order.

I find that my bandwidth gets maxed out that way - since all 3 are fast, resume downloads and as a bonus, directhttp and zshare allow multiple connections.

So when downloading multiupload links, I usually have 6 files constantly being downloaded, at max speed, with free accounts.

doubleofive: I had overlooked that the file name had a space in it. When multiupload sends files to rapidshare and there are spaces in the filename, Rapidshare replaces the space with an underscore.

The file name that I uploaded to multiupload is indeed RTJ_Miami_Complete_NTSC _v2.zip. But if you notice, there is a space after the "NTSC" and therefore the rapidshare links became RTJ_Miami_Complete_NTSC__v2.zip. goddammitsomuch.

And because the rapidshare links have a different filename from the rest of the files, jdownloader thinks that it is a different dvd.

My apologies for the fubar.

If you're getting the RTJ SL PAL version, beware that the rar/dlc file for RTJ SL PAL is wrong (it loads the DL PAL links)

But for now it can be found inside BE's SL PAL rar file (which has both SL PAL dlcs)

All the links are now fixed.

Just to be sure, the download size of each dvd is:

BE DL PAL: 5.60 gb

BE SL PAL: 4.20 gb

BE SL NTSC: 4.19 gb

Cool.

Hope you like it :)

Ok it's all now online at fanedit.info, including the 2 new Building Empire DVDs as explained here : http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/BUILDING-EMPIRE-PAL-NTSC-DVD-NEW-EDITION-NOW-ONLINE/post/452102/#TopicPost452102

At moment, the rar/dlc file for RTJ SL PAL is wrong (it loads the DL PAL links)

But for now it can be found inside BE's SL PAL rar file (which has both SL PAL dlcs)

Links are now fixed.

Just to be sure, the download size of each dvd is:

RTJ DL PAL: 4.37 gb

RTJ SL PAL: 4.19 gb

RTJ SL NTSC: 4.20 gb

Long post... but I hope you like it.

On the previous page, I had notified you all that I assembled all the extras from various sources and put it together with the updated Miami Underground Film Festival version which was a barebones DVD so that it would be a "Complete" Miami edition.

Nothing was re-encoded and as far as I can tell, there is nothing wrong with this DL PAL DVD since there is no negative feedback about it LOL.

Some of you will know that I been muckin about with Returning To Jedi Miami versions.

First, I did the same as I did with this one - I simply merged all extras with the updated Miami festival version to make a DL PAL DVD.

But in the end, I made 2 more RTJ MUFF Complete DVDs - SL NTSC and SL PAL discs that I deinterlaced, sharpened, adjusted chapters and encoded as progressive - the original RTJ, as well as BE, are both interlaced.

People requested that I do the same for Building Empire...

So I have now re-encoded and assembled 2 more Building Empire Miami Complete DVDs - a SL NTSC disc and a SL PAL disc.

Both leave the audio untouched, were deinterlaced, sharpened, have adjusted chapter points and encoded progressively.

A few screen caps:

DL PAL - Nothing re-encoded and interlaced

SL PAL - Deinterlace, sharpened, adjusted chapters and progressive.

SL NTSC - Deinterlace, sharpened, adjusted chapters and progressive.

It may be hard to tell the difference when displayed like this, but the pics are actually full size - you can compare them more easily by displaying them in separate tabs - just click on each picture :)

You can skip to the bottom if you're not interested in the finer details...

Availability.........: MultiUpload (also RS, MU, ZShare and HotFile)

In this release you'll find:

1 - The VIDEO_TS and DVD_ROM folders

2 - Addition artwork (.psd files) located in DVD_ROM folder

2 - This NFO file - Please... Do Not Remove!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notes from ZeppelinRox:

1. This is a combination of 3 DVD releases of Jambe Davdar's Building Empire.

The 3 Sources were:

a. Building Empire DL PAL DVD - Miami Version - I used the Building Empire

documentary video from this version. This DVD has the latest version and best

video quality available but it had no extras whatsoever.

b. Building Empire SL NTSC DVD - I used the DVD_ROM folder from this version -

since this is the only version I found that had it.

The DVD_ROM folder contains the following:

ESB Radio Drama

ESB 'Story Of' Album

Mark Hamill 1979 Audio Interview

DVD Covers

Video Extra

c. Building Empire SL PAL DVD - From this version, I used all menus and all the

extras that were in the VIDEO_TS folder.

Originally, I just grabbed all the best available features from all 3 versions

and put them on a single DL PAL DVD.

 

Since I was doing a SL NTSC conversion, I decided to do a SL PAL version too.

2. The sources were all interlaced so I deinterlaced, enhanced the image with a

bit of sharpening, and encoded as progressive while adding appropriate chapters.

3. Here is the script that I used:

TDeint(Mode=2,Order=0,tryWeave=true)

Spline36Resize(720,576)

FFT3DFilter(sigma=1.5,sharpen=0.95,interlaced=true)

converttoyuy2(interlaced=true)

4. Tools used were mainly CCE SP2 (4 pass encoding including extras), PgcEdit,

and VobBlanker and MuxMan. Oh and MeGUI, since it makes it so easy to get d2v

files and simultaneously demux the Audio and Video streams.

5. I'm not sure about the chapters on the original PAL version, but there were

21 chapters on the barebones DL Miami version (see source "a") so I inserted

additional chapters where it felt right - mainly at "screen wipes"

6. I kept the bitrate as high as possible and pretty much maxed out a SL DVD

(4,699,594,388 bytes) :P.

If it's too big to burn comfortably, you may have to delete unwanted artwork

from the DVD_ROM folder or just zip them up - but it shouldn't be necessary.

7. To summarize the differences between this SL MUFF Complete and the previous

DL MUFF Complete. This DVD:

- fits on a SL DVD (duh)

- was enhanced via deinterlacing and encoded as progressive

- has a sharper picture

- has additional chapters which are mainly located at "screen wipes"

From this DVD, I also stole all the menus. I believe Caligulathegod is the one

to thank for this - I actually included the nfo file from this DVD as well.

c. Building Empire SL PAL DVD - From this version, I used all the extras that

were in the VIDEO_TS folder.

2. The sources were all interlaced so I deinterlaced, enhanced the image with a

bit of sharpening, and encoded as progressive while adding appropriate chapters.

TDeint(Mode=2,Order=0,tryWeave=true)

21 chapters on the barebones DL Miami version (see source "a") so I inserted

additional chapters where it felt right - mainly at "screen wipes"

6. I encoded everything at 29.97 fps progressive. Audio was untouched, since I

kept the same running time as the original PAL MUFF version.

7. I kept the bitrate as high as possible and pretty much maxed out a SL DVD

(4,684,915,690 bytes) :P.

If it's too big to burn comfortably, you may have to delete unwanted artwork

from the DVD_ROM folder or just zip them up - but it shouldn't be necessary.

8. To summarize, this DVD: 

- was enhanced via deinterlacing and encoded as progressive

- has a sharper picture

- has additional chapters which are mainly located at "screen wipes"

- retains original, untouched audio from the various sources.

Let me know if there are any issues with any of the 6 DVDs.

Edit: These are already online at fanedit.info.

Actually, all 6 MUFF Complete DVDs are now listed.

Enjoy!

So does missing the point. ;)

/trytheveal...

Heythedlcfileforthepuristeditionisstillinadywan'sdlcfolderatinfo

Confusion is actually understandable LOL

Well no wonder there hasn't been downloads for the SL PAL MUFF Complete... it isn't listed yet. I could have sworn that it was... meh.

I will look into getting it listed that's for sure.

I had assembled 3 RTJ MUFF Complete dvds:

1. DL PAL: Which is untouched but 200 mb too large to fit on a SL DVD. Hence the DL label.

2. SL NTSC: Progressive, deinterlaced, sharpened, adjusted the chapters. NO speed issues at all. Audio is untouched.

3. SL PAL: Like the SL NTSC, progressive, deinterlaced, sharpened and has adjusted chapters.

I'm in NTSC country too but I prefer PAL versions (yay xbmc/htpcs)

Anyway, of the 3, I'm sticking with the SL PAL version.

The bitrate is not much lower (about 100 kbits/sec) than the original found on the DL PAL and I really like how it looks after the deinterlacing, sharpening and progressive encode.

My second pick would be the SL NTSC version for the same reasons.

btw, I'm about to finish uploading SL PAL and SL NTSC versions of the DL PAL Building Empire MUFF Complete DVD.

Both will also be deinterlaced, sharpened, be progressive and have adjusted chapters.

tranzor, thanks for the heads up about linktalk :)

16 GB to download from RS... thank god for jdownloader heh.

Ok the SL PAL MUFF Complete version is now online.

PM me for links if you don't want to wait until fanedit.info is updated.

Date Posted..........: October 18, 2010

In this release you'll find:

1 - The VIDEO_TS and DVD_ROM folders
2 - Addition artwork (.psd files) located in DVD_ROM folder
2 - This NFO file - Please... Do Not Remove!

Notes from ZeppelinRox:

1. Why ANOTHER PAL Complete version?

Well, when I had originally combined all the menus and extras, including the
DVD-ROM folder (containing artwork), from the original DL PAL DVD with the
updated Miami Underground Film Festival SL PAL DVD to make a MUFF Complete DVD,
I had left everything untouched so as to preserve its quality. However, it was
a bit too large to fit on a SL DVD. It is only 200 mb too big which makes it
even more annoying to me.
Also, when I converted it to NTSC, I had deinterlaced and sharpened the image a
bit and really liked the result.
Therefore, I decided to kill 2 birds with one stone - shrink it down to fit on
a SL DVD while enhancing the image with a bit of sharpening and deinterlacing.

2. Here is the script that I used:

TDeint(Mode=2,Order=0,tryWeave=true)
Spline36Resize(720,576)
FFT3DFilter(sigma=1.5,sharpen=1.00,interlaced=true)
converttoyuy2(interlaced=true)

Yeah, the FFT3D line made it slow as hell...

3. Tools used were mainly CCE SP2 (4 pass encoding including extras), PgcEdit,
and VobBlanker and MuxMan. Oh and MeGUI, since it makes it so easy to get d2v
files and simultaneously demux the Audio and Video streams.

4. Fixed the chapters to match the chapters on the original NTSC SL DVD. I
also added a couple near the beginning. I'm not sure about the chapters on the
original PAL version, but the chapter points on the aforementioned DL PAL MUFF
Complete DVD were not quite right.

5. I kept the bitrate as high as possible and pretty much maxed out a SL DVD
(4,698,534,486 bytes) :P.
If it's too big to burn comfortably, you may have to delete unwanted artwork
from the DVD_ROM folder or just zip them up.

6. To summarize the differences between this SL MUFF Complete and the previous
DL MUFF Complete. This DVD:
- fits on a SL DVD (duh)
- is progressive
- has a sharper picture
- has proper chapter points.

 

Ok I'll likely get on that next week then.

In the meantime.. I actually went ahead and made the DL PAL MUFF Complete into a SL version.

I deinterlaced, made it progressive, sharpened the picture and made proper chapter points (to match the NTSC MUFF Complete), as the DL PAL chapter points are a bit off.

Here are a couple of caps:

Original DL PAL MUFF

New SL PAL MUFF

I don't think that there is an NTSC version of the Miami edition.

There isn't at fanedit.info anyway. Just NTSC of the original edition can be found there.

I had uploaded BE Miami complete DL PAL version with all the previous extras at fanedit.info.

I may do an NTSC conversion of it though.

Jambe, for the love of god, encode this one progressive and not interlaced... LOL

Also, an idea for a new title would be......

Star Wars: A New Beginning.

I hadn't really thought about it.

Would you prefer SL or DL?

I doubt SL would be a good idea though because BE PAL MUFF Complete is 5.85 gb.

It would probably look pretty bad if I tried to get it down to 4.37 gb.

You're welcome :)

You may remember that I used the original Miami PAL  audio and is untouched. So whatever audio issues there may be would be the same as the original.

My main concerns were regarding the quality of the video (smooth playback, detailed and sharper picture without artifacts), including the extras with the same quality and the DVD itself (menus, navigation, size, compatibility, chapters, etc.)

So if all those apects are non issues, then I'm quite happy with this final DVD.

For my own use, I think that I will reencode the PAL MUFF Complete DVD so that it will fit on a SL disc. It's about 4.6 GB and needs to only go down to 4.37 GB but I would also deinterlace, make it progessive  and sharpen the image as well - since I believe that my NTSC MUFF encode (limited sharpen faster was applied) looks much better on the TV than the much softer original video that I used in assembling the afore mentioned PAL MUFF DVD.
