Star Wars episode 2 DVD (1 Viewer)

Hopfully Lucasfilm/THX have listened to the complaints of haloing/ringing on the TPM DVD and make sure it doesn't happen on the AOTC DVD.

 

[Ray Melnik]

Many people have replaced their VHS units with DVD now. It is is good to hear that it will be released on DVD.

 

[Anthony R]

I'd love to be able to see them on my TV instead of my computer, though.

Well at least we will get to see the newest one on TV. Sunday night right after X-Files, which I'm sure many of you have heard.

I thought it was on next Sunday? Does anyone know for sure if it is tonight or next week?

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

I actually converted them to SVCD format and burned them on a CD. You can do this for free by getting the large versions of the trailers off of Morpheus, converting them using TMPGEnc, and burning using the demo version of Nero (SVCD template). The quality is near DVD.

 

[Richard Fairbrother]

Well,

Okay. DanR can back up my credibility. It should be out in November of this year.

My DVD player doesn't play VCDs. It's supposed to, but I burned a test copy, and it didn't. It played in a couple of other players I was able to test it on, but not mine. :frowning:

 

[Wayne Bundrick]

My DVD player will play VCD, but not if it's on CD-R. It has to be CD-RW.

 

[Greg_S_H]

I've heard of that before, but it's not easy for me to test it. I don't have a CD burner, so it took half an afternoon just to transfer the file I needed to a friend's computer and burn it from there. Once I get a burner, I'll try the CD-RWs.

BTW, I have a Sony DVP-S560D. Do you have something similar?

 

[DanR]

Yes, I can back up Richard Fairbrother's credibility. If it isn't enough for you guys that Ron Epstein says it coming, then know that Richard knew about a previous release from Lucasfilm well before anyone else.
Regards,
Dan

The DVD will come out the same time as VHS. I didn't have DVD when I bought the VHS of Episode 1, and we know that many people are not going to buy Episode 2 on VHS, even if the DVD doesn't come out for another year. I know I won't. They will come at the same time this time. I just hope by the end of 2002 for Christmas. I'm just ready for the movie though.

Using a combination of sources including the AOTC comic covers, the toy fair scans, the white spine from the Original Trilogy VCD set, and my own copy of the TPM DVD, I have created my interpretation of the AOTC DVD:

 

[Josh_Hill]

Damn, thats sweet. Lucasfilm, hire this guy!

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

Glad you like

 

[Loring]

Wow, thanks Ron... Good to hear that about it being this year. At least from a reliable source that is.
I also hope that the dvd includes the trailers...all of them...in widescreeen and at least dobly 5.1. I dont think I am asking for much...

 

[BrandonF]

This is going to be a GREAT year for movies and DVD.
I hereby declare that although I will be severely broke this year, I will also be extremely happy.

 

[Greg_S_H]

Loring, I don't think you'll have to worry about that. We'll almost certainly get all the trailers and web docs. I do hope that includes the "Choices" trailer from the TPM DVD website, though.

Dark Horizons has reported the release date for the AOTC DVD:

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (DVD): Originally scheduled for November 21st, rumours began today that Lucasfilm have 'unofficially' moved up the disc release of the second SW prequel to October 21st (and will include a doco imaginatively titled "The Middle"). This would give it a good lead on other major titles like "Spider-Man" and "Minority Report" whose discs are due out in December. Thanks to 'Adam'.

 

[Michael Ballack]

That's great news! The earlier the better. I can't wait to see Episode 2(I"ll see it in theaters too) on my 50" Widescreen Television.

 

[Justin Pledger]

Amazed you guys hadn't heard about the release earlier - the DVD has been mooted for a Christmas release for quite a while now.
