Manakin Skywalker 4,891 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I go through the video game files on a daily basis; I'm not familiar with any game that uses masters other than the SE and Anthology ones. What games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,323 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Huh. I could have sworn I remembered a better sounding version of Superstructure Chase debuting in a game, but some searching leads me to believe I was remembering wrong. How about that.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 There was a version of "This is Not a Cave" that I think came from a video game and it sounded better than the 1997 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manakin Skywalker 4,891 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 It was probably an Anthology master, I'm assuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brundlefly 2,385 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 There is a Star Wars game (not yet released) which has Return of the Jedi music which sounds far better than the Special Edition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share Posted May 5, 2018 I have a small problem. So my very cheap copies of the SW DVDs have all the OSTs on them but not in a usable file format to be able to burn to a disc or download to a device. So technically I own all the SW soundtracks already, it's just that I can only play them on the DVD. Any ideas about getting around this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien F 1,742 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Were the Sony Classical 2004 OT releases just a repackage of the 1997 SE? Any difference in sound quality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand what you're problem is exactly. I have six DVD discs from one boxset. They include the prequels and the originals. On the main menu you can select play, options, scene selection or music. Every disc has this music feature: for the prequels it plays the OST and for the originals it play the 1997 ultimate editions. I can only play these on the DVD but I would like to be able to make them more accessible (i.e. convert the files and burn them to a disc/download them to a device.). That's my issue.

Holko 9,499 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 You could perhaps open the disc in Handbrake and cycle the different audio/video streams, hoping to find them... Though you'll probably need to rip it into an ISO first through something like DVD Decrypter to circumvent copy protection. Could you post/link an image of the boxset? I haven't heard of those kind of discs at all. When were they released and which master do they have, a downscale of the 2011 Bluray, the updated no Fox Fanfare Disney version, or the 2004 DVD?

The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted May 6, 2018 Author Share Posted May 6, 2018 Honestly, I have no clue. I think it's a cheap imported edition anyways. But the soundtracks are all on there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 9,499 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Copyright protection probably won't be a problem then! You could still try Handbrake, it's completely free. Is there any chance you could upload a picture or two of the cover art and the little info box on the back? And if you can watch the movies fine, it's very simple to tell which version of the movies they are. The Illustrious Jerry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,499 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Look it up, it's free ripper/converter software. It takes about 2 minutes to decide depending on the length of the menus. Pop in ANH, skip to Ben chasing away the Tuskens and going to check on Luke. If his scream sounds like some random dude screaming into the mic while tearing a hole in the spacetime-continuum, while R2 looks on from behind some badly photoshopped rocks that weren't there before, it's the Bluray master. If not, it's the 2004 DVD, I don't think they's put the 97 VHS release even on a chinese bootleg DVD. If you want to look at the unaltered versions, please do yourself a favour and do not melt your eyes out with VHS. Look up Harmy's Star Wars Despecialised on Facebook and follow the instructions to get 1080p reconstructions of the originals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Pellaeon 593 Posted May 6, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 6, 2018 I watch the Team Negative 1 (“Silver Screen”) edition of Star Wars, and Harmy’s (“Despecialized”) edition of Empire and Jedi. But either way, yeah, there are some really excellent, incredibly meticulous fan restorations of the original films, with high definition, 5.1 surround sound, and lacking the reddish hue and other problems (not to mention deliberate changes) of the official releases. I used to be fine with the 2006 “theatrical” DVDs, but being able to see much more detail is a delight. Beautiful films. And I noticed on Harmy’s Empire (maybe on the others) you can select to watch with just the isolated score.

Holko 9,499 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Yeah, techincally I also highly prefer the Silver Screen and was vety sad to see Team N1 disband over petty stuff behind the scenes before they got to the other two. EDIT: looks like the 4k77 will be ready relatively soon, 4k83 will take a few months, and 4k80 is also planned! Hyped! Really looking forward to the original Lapti Nek and Shaw's ghost in high definition, that will be a gamechanger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice. Anyways, yeah. The original film had changes as early as its theatrical re-runs. So even VHS isn't completely unaltered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just confused and seeking clarity on the many releases of the SW scores. Now I see there's so much more neat stuff around here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I'd love to read a review of someone indifferent to the Star Wars scores, just for a different point of view. Someone well-articulated of course, not "Too much brass, 3/10". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manakin Skywalker 4,891 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Those are AV codecs, not just audio codecs. I'd use MakeMKV for extracting the disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
