This is a non-faded Technicolor 35mm pint.From 1977,there was not many made for a home release.

.      

...That's an IB Tech print, not 35mm. The one Harmy timed it to is in better condition and doesn't have the vagaries of how the digital camera processed the image or whether the Senator used the right bulb

 sorry I didn't know :(

No, you were right, the IB technicolor star wars prints were regular 35 mm sized prints.

 

Yeah, I understood that they were the same size. But I meant to object to the idea that the Tech prints = the 35mm Eastman prints that Harmy referred to a few posts above his, which is why pat man posted the pictures from the Senator to begin with.

 That is basically way.

funny thing i've been thinking about this whole time is I thought I heard that The GodFather Part II was the last movie to use technicolor?  is that incorrect?  or was that something else?

That was the last done by Technicolor in the US. The one for SW were all done at Technicolor London IIRC.

EXAMS SUCCESSFULLY DONE!!!! I'M FINALLY FREE!!!

Time to start encoding the AVCHD and then working on the BD :-)

Cheers! I know exactly what that feeling is like....an enormous weight off the shoulders.

May just have to get a BD burner for this, though logistically this may be hard (no more SATA ports, and don't wanna get rid of my HD-DVD/BD combo drive). could get another controller but I suspect that'll drive me nuts, and not enough money atm to build a new desktop altogether - esp with NY Comic Con coming up

How about THIS? I've converted the MKV to a Blu-ray via tsMuxeR without too much hassle and even got myself some fancy icons for my PS3's XMB using THIS little trick.

Laser: sadiq, thanks for the tips! (Especially that cool PS3 tip, heh.) Has the added bonus of being portable so I could use it with my laptop (in addition to not having to eat up a SATA port). I've had good experiences with LG burners, too (my HD/Blu combo is one of them).

The guy who did the Screened.com interview released an updated version for Tested.com!

^ Yes, Harmy said he is doing a version 2.0 for Empire and Jedi as well.

Thanks guys :-)

At the current speed, the rendering of the AVCHD should be done tomorrow morning and since I'm back at school (I just finished my undergraduate program and am continuing to postgrad) the upload should be superfast as well, so if everything goes well, the AVCHD should be available on uloz.to sometime tomorrow. I guess it will get reuploaded to other places soon after.

bilditup1, the Raspberry Pi is supposed to handle 1080p. Maybe Harmy's mkv has too much bitrate...

Yeah, I know, I've been using it for several months without issue and think I said the bitrate was causing buffering problems, not the resolution.

Well, the bitrate of the MKV is still way lower than commercial Blu-Ray.

The Brazillian Dub included in the release is the original Dub made by a studio called "Herbert Richards" for TV broadcast.

Wait... are you Brazilian too?! And yes, this is the original dubbing made in the 80's. Restored for this release.

By the way, sorry but the correct spelling is "Herbert Richers". 

While I don't need the AVCHD, I offer my light-speed connection to help get it out there when it's ready, Harmy.  I will then post to TPB, 1337x, and MS if someone doesn't beat me to it.

Well, I restored it and some friend of mine (nickname: Ronaldo) gave me the audio (digitalized). And, about the Portuguese typing you're right. Duh! Anyway, welcome to the forum and I'm sure you enjoy the pt-br subtitles too. Oh, do you know "Dublanet" or "Não À Redublagem"? I started my Herbert Richers restoration project on these forums, 2009.

Of course; but it's still higher than the usual Matroska files that I stream. But who knows; maybe I just have to defrag my HDD and get shit off of it...?

Yeah, I'll gladly post at the Spleen or else seed, too
