Also, just to give another bit of info regarding ED2 vs LFL Pwnage:

-LFLPwnage has most of the edge enhancement as well, it's just less severe. I must imagine this must be on the source file (GOUT). Probably because ED2 is slightly sharper the edges are a bit more apparent.

-LFL Pwnage has the correct Greedo font. The ED 2 looks similar to the official font, but it's bigger and has different layout in some lines. The ED2 subs are much better looking IMO, but they are technically less correct as far as I can tell.

I really wish someone else could see the new Editdroid so opinions on it aren't so one sided (i.e. all of them mine). I recently had the chance to watch this on a large screen television and I was very impressed with how well it held up. I think if it weren't for the aliasing and occassional video noise (and the DVNR stuff) this is the sort of quality many of us would have accepted as a sort of bare-bones OOT-on-DVD official release before the 2004 set. I certainly wouldn't have complained. It looks comparable to many movies from the 1970s transfered to DVD from the earlier days of the format--a bit rough around the edges in the print and not as sharp as a newer film, but appropriately watchable. I guess the same could be said for LFL Pwnage as well.

Actually, the LFL Pwnage doesn't have the correct font for Greedo, but it's a very well made approximate of the original theatrical font, as they only had the bootleg telecine as a reference to work from back then. It uses Franklin Gothic Demi Cond but Trade Gothic Bold or AlternateGotNo3D seems to be much closer for a recreation.

This is the sort of outcome i was hoping from the aleksbmw thread , but that thread seems pretty redundant know.

 Has anyone on this site seen this version ?.

Yeah, it would be nice if someone on this site had seen it, wouldn't it?

zombie84 said (while quoting the info on the disc itself):

The main source for the 1977 mono theatrical mix came from “The Mono Mix Restoration Project” and would not have been possible here without their hard work. The track, while mostly complete, contained audio drop outs and some gaps, which were filled from a second mono source. All audio was cleaned up to minimize the optical track crackle and rumble. The original transfer was not speed locked, so varispeed and numerous edits were required to patch and slide audio back into sync.

Reading this again, I'm not sure what EditDroid are referring to in this paragraph. Are they talking about the work that Belbucus did to patch, clean up and sync the mono mix from my capture, or did they carry out further work to the audio using Belbucus' final audio as their master?

This thread is...

It would be nice if someone else could see it sometime, huh, Frinky? :) Good post, my nitpicky fiend.*

*Yes.

That was just a joke, but I agree with the general sentiment.  It would be nice to have a few other people see this and give us some thoughts.

(and I don't say that so I can get it - I don't have the proper eye/ear for the detail this requires)

Sorry, having paying that much attention but could someone remind me what the LFL pwnage version is.

Are there other enhanced versions are there sourced from the official unaltered dvd out there? Like I've heard a lot about using special filters or digital color matching the 1993 picture, are those floating around or still being worked on?

Peep this, homeskillet: http://originaltrilogy.com/fan-edits/fan-project-details.cfm/Custom-DVDs/title/Star-Wars-The-Lucasfilm-Pwnage-Edition/project/227/category/3/

I'm interested in seeing this as well - despite my misgivings about its description, the DVD screenshots do look very good.

Zombie - don't take this the wrong way - but when you're making copies of this, please ensure you make exact copies, without stripping anything or altering any of the files on the disc. (I recommend you use something like ImgBurn to make the copies.)

Why do I say this? Click the link in my sig for more details...

Any news?

I kept checking an e-mail notification for this thread and got an error every time. Now I see why: that post, supposedly by stew181, doesn't exist. :p

Seeding?  So far it seems like only zombie has seen it.  Or have I missed something?

The torrent has been up for awhile, it just needs seeders.

...where? First I, and apparently others, have heard of this. :p

Yeah - whatchyou talkin bout, Willis?
