The alien speech is double-subbed - English in the usual place, and Japanese on the right

Don't think it's worth anything but I'm downloading the subtitled TFA off WOWOW

Today I got my first UHD BD... now I will need some player to use it. The movie "187" in the limited German Mediabook Edition from capelight

Happy birthday Jetrell

My phone works again, luckly.

Thank you kindly Andrea.

Happy Birthday, Jetrell Fo!

Yeah, it's in rice in a sealed bag. I would have bought silica gel from cat litter but the bags were too big and I was travelling abroad, rice had to do. I'm planning to leave it there for 2-3 days then try turn it on. I'm not gonna eat the rice don't worry ahah

As long as you're not planning on eating the rice. Phones are filthy.

I thought it was just a good place to set it down in

@FrankT Rice is supposed absorb moisture from electronic equipment such as phones.

Yeah who doesn't

You put your phone in rice?

Guys, if you don't see me around much it's because my phone dropped into water and I don't know yet if it's gonna resurrect after three days of being submerged into the rice. We will see

Glad to see you here at last, Poita!

Nice!

Did i just enter The Twilight Zone Happy to finally have you here poita!

Welcome aboard, poita!

I finally registered!

Yeah. The font is comparable to the ANH Greedo/Jabba subs, but the lines are longer, and two-liners are common. *One line* fills the letterbox.

Godzilla sized subs!

...yeah, I'm aborting. There's no way anyone's gonna make use of a bunch of Disney-master prequel rips with humongous Japanese hardsubs.

Even you completists won't be able to make use of this

It's sub. And the subs go well up into the picture. (Also, it's a post-Disney master)

...huh? I thought it was dub, but the filename says sub

At any rate, I believe TPM started 20 minutes ago. I suspect it'll be the BD master, and of course it'll be a Japanese dub.

The bitrate is probably just slightly lower, plus WOWOW broadcasts in mpeg-2, not h.264.

The blue escape pod thing was another one of those supposed "bloopers" that was "fixed", like Han's "vest" in ESB.

Would the WOWOW broadcasts actually have a higher bitrate than a Blu-Ray?

Why would WOWOW be considered better than the BD?

Any word on Episode I? Is it the Blu ray version? That's the one I'd be most interested in.

I had shoutbox closed... but I still confirm quality, just a bit lower than AVC HDTV, but there seems to be more details here and there... due to BD master, I suppose.

We've confirmed it 5 days ago o.O

Has someone the SW BD saga actually on HDD? If so, please drop me a PM, I need some screenshots, thanks in advance!

WOWOW EP4: confirmed, it's the BD version - rocks, new Jabba etc. - quality is quite high!

Somehow I think I forgot something this weekend.. I checked Devil's Advocate BD for extra scenes with normal audio... someone remember if I promised something other to chekc this weekend at home?

Yes, I know OT is down. Jay has been notified of the issue.

I know... And yeah. WOWOW's bitrate is insane. That ANH cap is over 18 GB

Too bad. WOWOW has great quality for TV broadcasts from what I've seen. Would be fun if they aired 1997 version or something

yeah, it's not blue.

There's also this: https://i.imgur.com/pHM4PLj.jpg Apparently in all pre-2011 versions the escape pod lid was blue, and they decolored it for BD master

if WOWOW had aired the 2004 versions, they could have been useful for a deconstruction

yeah. I thought the same

CatBus will surely appreciate it

well, at the worst, it might be useful for the audio, which appears to be a hybrid of a 2002 TV dub and 2004/2011 M&E

on one hand it says "2011 (2004 master)" and "added in 2011"

Wikipedia says it's a 2011 change: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ch...e-releases

actually, it's confusing

But maybe I'm wrong

my 2004 DVDs are buried under wires, papers, other DVDs and a bunch of other junk

*sigh*

AFAIK rocks were added in 2011 and earlier versions didn't have them

(I can probably fish out an R1 to check)

it says the 2004 version has the rocks.

...that shot doesn't say 2004 vs. 2011. it says 2004 vs. 1997, doesn't it?

That's a bummer. But don't delete it yet, maybe someone who knows more about SE changes could find something useful in there

or wait

as if it's just the BD master, a BD would be better

aight. it's got the rocks. I think these TSes are going to be useless

It should be around 28th minute

I'm looking in the wrong place, aren't I? This isn't when he runs into the Jawas, it's when he's looking for Obi-wan?

trying to find that shot

thanks

any obvious jpg or something I can check against?

aight

Probably the fastest way to check if it's the BD master is to see if there are rocks in front of R2 in the canion scene

looks like this. https://i.imgur.com/Ivr0SaC.jpg

yeah.

By rollup you mean the crawl, right?

The rollup is in Japanese. They have a station bug, but it's in the letterbox area. Greedo and Jabba subs are also in the letterbox.

Nod. I've got plenty of space to hold them on a friend's server until we can figure out what to do with them. I'm hoping these are 2004 masters; if they are, they could be the best possible video source for the 2004 version

Great news, thanks! OT doesn't work for me either

Question: Does the 2011 master have the Greensaber problem?

OT's failing me. Good news though: I have successfully capped ANH from WOWOW, as I said I would

I am excited to see if some of these are going to be shared.

Someone was registered on http://www.onlinetvrecorder.com since a long time? I have downloaded EP1 theatrical recorded with it but, to be decoded, it needs a registration made before broadcasting date...

Asked on OT; seems that Molly could record them all... finger crossed!

I would LOVE to see these WOWOW broadcasts get capped. It would really be a treat.

@FrankT Yes, and that's why it would be another one.

WOWOW used to be famous for it's high bitrate broadcasts, so if that didn't change it would probably look better than whatever else we have now

Don't we already have one source?

We don't know until they're capped. There's a slight chance that they might be the 2004 SEs and provide another source for the shots that were changed for the BD.

What'd be different about them?

It seems that WOWOW will broadcast Star Wars saga again - along with EP7... could someone record them? http://www.wowow.co.jp/pg_info/detail/01...p#schedule

It seems that WOWOW will broadcast Star Wars saga again - along with EP7... could someone record them?

In this case does anyone have this DVD? http://cultfilmfinder.com/alien-from-the-deep-1989/

For some reason I was convinced that it was on bluray because the cover was blue

I was looking around and i don't see this movie on blu-ray?

(that's my odd request of the week)

I hear that the US BluRay of "Aliens from the Deep" (1989) includes also Italian audio. Since we never even got a DVD release of this film here in Italy, is anybody a fan of shlock and owns this film?

Hi there

Hello

how was it?

saw Dune on 70mm last week. oh my!

Does the general release version at least have the overture and entr'acte?

I do not Evit, sorry.
