Thanks for making hevc encodes. Hoping to see other de-specialized editions encoded as well.

[-] Ionwerks | 6 points | Nov 07 2017 20:51:39

Awesome, thank you once again.

[-] puffpants | 1 points | Nov 08 2017 07:28:53

[-] uwotm8_888 | 2 points | Nov 08 2017 23:19:36

most people use it hell i have yours on my external hdd but i need something lightweight for my pc right now.

[-] puffpants | 1 points | Nov 09 2017 04:22:36

"Light weight" "x265"

[-] uwotm8_888 | 1 points | Nov 09 2017 04:24:24

I meant low size

[-] sometta | 4 points | Nov 08 2017 04:34:45

I can finally watch unaltered Star Wars in a compact file size! Thank you!

[-] puffpants | 4 points | Nov 08 2017 07:30:42

Nice job. Happy you could help others with a reencode

[-] Holociraptor | 2 points | Nov 07 2017 22:27:33

Any chance we can have a non-mega upload? Like Drive or something? I've been trying to get this through mega for ages and it's 'done' but I can't get to it for somer reason.

[-] viper8828 | 7 points | Nov 07 2017 23:31:08

hey friend thats what the zippyshare is for, use jdownloader and it downloads without it going through mega, aight guy? msg if you need any other help buddy

[-] Holociraptor | 1 points | Nov 08 2017 00:24:46

Ironically I can't get JDownloader because it's hosted on mega. ;)

[-] ecchh | 4 points | Nov 08 2017 00:28:00

Use http://dcrypt.it/ to extract the zippyshare links from the .dlc file

[-] Holociraptor | 4 points | Nov 08 2017 00:45:22

Perfect! It looks like that's working, and it's speedy too. I'll report back when it's all done.

EDIT: It's perfect!

[-] viper8828 | 2 points | Nov 08 2017 01:34:29

sorry i meant to download the .dlc and then in jdownloader u go to file then upload link container and select the .dlc file (this way hasnt effected my megasync bandwidth, some peoples zippylinks are hosted by mega like you said tho, ecchhs arent) didnt realize u could extract the actual link but i havnt had to lol

[-] ImA13x | 2 points | Nov 07 2017 23:13:02

have you tried pausing and un-pausing? I've had trouble in the past and this seemed to help

[-] ecchh | 8 points | Nov 07 2017 23:45:54

These are high-definition restorations of the original theatrical releases of the first three Star Wars films.

Basically it undoes all the meddling that George Lucas did with every home release of the film after the LaserDisc release.

[-] ecchh | 6 points | Nov 07 2017 23:48:45

Yes, they were encoding but they're uploading now

[-] Holociraptor | 6 points | Nov 08 2017 00:46:13

I know right. I used to have the pre-97 versions on VHS, those were the ones I grew up with. I haven't seen the sarlacc without a beak for so long!

[-] puffpants | 3 points | Nov 08 2017 07:29:51

I uploaded re original ones. Better quality but larger file sizes. Your pick

[-] debu0534 | 1 points | Nov 15 2017 19:08:02

What changes did George Lucas made to the original??

[-] viper8828 | 2 points | Nov 08 2017 01:37:27

these are the droids i was waiting to download but never had a way to do it before, i wont even buy the blurays bcus of the episode 1-3 mess and lucas editing the blurays even more than the 97 releases!

[-] viper8828 | 2 points | Nov 08 2017 11:35:36

Episode 4 SubTitles --- Episode 5 SubTitles --- Episode 6 SubTitles

[-] viper8828 | 1 points | Nov 07 2017 23:34:34

also, apparently opus audio seems to be better than aac?

[-] ecchh | 3 points | Nov 08 2017 02:25:48

You'll need to use a player that is capable of playing HEVC x265 such as MPC-BE/MPC-HC, PotPlayer or VLC. It also doesn't hurt to have the latest codecs installed. I recommend the K-Lite Codec Pack for this. It comes packaged with MPC-HC.

[-] ecchh | 1 points | Nov 08 2017 02:32:39

It must be a codec issue, in that case

[-] Zodep | 1 points | Nov 08 2017 02:35:59

It could be a hardware issue... my older computers won’t play HEVC, but my newest will.

[-] ecchh | 1 points | Nov 08 2017 02:46:05

That's... very strange. Is VLC up to date? Have you tried playing the file in another video player if it is up to date?

[-] [deleted] | 1 points | Nov 08 2017 03:51:10

[-] ecchh | 1 points | Nov 08 2017 03:55:10

No, you should be able to extract it just fine with 7zip alone.. I really don't know what's going on - the only thing I can suggest trying is another media player. There definitely should be video.

[-] Patro_ | 1 points | Nov 08 2017 19:31:26

I downloaded with the links of zippshare decoded with dcrypt.it, but now I have 19 files with extension like "file 001" till "file 019", a DLC file (used for the decodification to the links) and a SFV file that I checked with QuickSFV (and apparently it's ok). What should I do now?

[-] ecchh | 1 points | Nov 08 2017 19:55:11

Extract the archive from the .001 file using 7xip

[-] Patro_ | 1 points | Nov 08 2017 19:56:49

I can't =(

There's no zip file here. Only "File 001" and go on

[-] ecchh | 2 points | Nov 08 2017 20:04:00

Right click the 001 and extract it with 7zip. The .001 file is an archive file.

[-] Patro_ | 2 points | Nov 08 2017 20:09:52

Thank You =)

I was confused because I haven't seen the 7zip option or the association with the extension. ~~Apparently~~ it's everything good now. Thanks!

EDIT: Everything is good now! Thanks again!

[-] viper8828 | 3 points | Nov 08 2017 11:31:56

did you try potplayer?
