Harmy,

I watched your SW-DeEd-1st-Workprint on my TV a few times. I had to demux your mp4 file and remux the video and the audiostream into a MKV file. I had to do that because my standalone can only play MKV files.

No reencoding was made, I just remuxed the streams.

I really like the colours in the Tantive scenes. But in a short shot the colour looks colder, just like the SE colours to me, it happens at timecode 3:46, the other scenes have the I call it warmer colours.

I also noticed at timecode 7:06 that Tatooine pans blocky over the screen while the escape capsule flies down to the planet. I wasn't sure if my player had problems in playing this thing properly but in your original posted workprint this is also a littlebit blocky. It is not very strong but it is there.

The yellow face of Tarkin has been mentioned here, but at timecode 16:48 the face of Owen looks very yellow too.

It might be reflections from c-3po's chest but honestly it looks rather like yellow skin and not like a reflection to me, what do you think?

Btw. the scene where Luke inspects his lightsaber in Bens hutt, I had to watch it again and again. The blue light looks soooo great.

I think I will watch your workprint a few times more until your final release comes out.

Harmy, at around 1:53:50 in ROTJ, as Han Solo is running away from the bunker, he becomes ghosted for a fraction of a second.

Also, MySpleen seems to only have actual disk versions, to be burned and played on standalones. Is there any chance you could release plain MP4 or MKV versions, without the compatibility restrictions posed by cimpliance to the AVCHD standard and playable as-is on any computer?

Or just get tsMuxerGUI and create your own ts file which is a MKV. This takes about 10 minutes to create the the container. 

Hi,

First off I would like to say thanks for these new versions you have released to the public. I have only dl  SW and ESB thus far but its great to see them without the added "special features" of  George Lucas. 

I have read much of those here critiquing the V1 versions from a technical pow even though I know they too greatly appreciate the work that has been done to get the original trilogy back to the way they were released. I too have noticed issues with yellowing in seens where surfaces I would think were white as well as some over exposure here and there. I can live with all that because its by the fans who are restoring them due to GL not cooperating with those of us who helped them succeed by going to the theatres and buying the tickeys.

I just have one question to those die hards out there. The SW the scene where Luck and Ben get stopped by the Stormtroopers in Mos Eisley. Two droids, white and yellow, pass in front of the camera. Now the White droid kinda feels right but the yellow feels added as it takes up more of the screen and REALLY breaks the viewers focus on the main characters. Is the yellow an addition or is it that I have not seen the original for so long in its purity that I have just forgotten it happened?

Just an observation if someone can put it to rest for me.

Thanks again for these versions. I just wish someone could sneek out of the Library of Congress archives the prints there and transfer them to digital format. With some fixing of course. :)  

Merry Christmas people!

AVCHD is playable as is on any computer.

Really ? In which software ? Because I always open the m2ts file in a player directly

Yep, that yellow droid has always been there.

I've always found that yellow droid distracting too, but it's much better than a big Ronto covering the whole screen! :)

Thanks for the responses. This is why creators/directors should leave well enough alone. Gets to the point one cannot tell the whats original or not anymore. Too many versions to sift through. 

Thanks again for the response and thanks again for these current versions.

Cheers!
