Advanced encoding notes for Star Wars (1999)
These notes are primarily used for precision audio sync, XML shift-script recommendations for different sources of the film/series, and notes on any peculiarities with the source material. Please note that these are situational, for example the precision audio sync details are meant for advanced/perfectionist users and not required to encode a decent quality edit.
If you're encoding an edit for the first time it's best to just use the default mp4 export from your NLE program and not mess with trying to get absolutely perfect quality until you're comfortable with the basics of loading, calibrating, and exporting an edit video. However, some Advanced pages list "Shift script values" that may make life easier for beginners trying to calibrate their BluRays.
The sync on Star Wars is a bit sketchy especially in the prequel episodes with some dialogue seeming like a redub, especially the Padme/handmaiden parts. This hasten is just to get it back in sync with the original files since the HD workflow desyncs an average of 24 samples across all the films, ranging from 15-39 samples (18,20,32,15,39,18 according to the A/V Sync Test Script).
