Ahh should've assume that, sorry!

The current version of Star Wars Despecialized Edition Remastered on Usenet is named Fixed_DeEdv2.0. Does anyone know if this applies to the audio issues listed above or does this release need the updated audio tracks swapped in?

Thank you!

I was told some pages back that this is already fixed. I went ahead and re-fixed anyway, with tracks available elsewhere (tehparadox), as I wasn't sure...

99% sure what you have is already fine, unless you notice some issue(s).

So Harmy any updates on 2.1 and Empire?

Just checked the 'shake' sample. Quite impressive!
Pretty wild to see the amount that was added. Even more impressive is the removal. Looks like it's right on track with the original frames from what I could tell. Every time I see the color comparisons in motion like that, it also always makes me smile. From washed out (GOUT), to WAAAAY too dark (SE/BD), to "just about perfect" (HARMY's!).

Regarding the 720p, I don't mind one bit. It looks excellent. Got to see it on a tube based HD rear projector TV once. Magic. Maybe something a little "nicer" about the colors on those compared to most LCD sets. I'd say that seeing this on any TV, however, is nothing short of excellent.

Well, I recently had a chance to compare it to the BD sitting close to my 27" LCD 1080p monitor and to be quite honest, in movement there is quite a noticeable difference in resolution. But I guess if you weren't sitting with your nose on the screen, the difference would be quite minimal.

Indeed...and unless you're sitting the optimal viewing distance for 1080p (and most people don't), you wouldn't notice any difference at all.

Watched 2.0 of Harmy's star wars IV despescialized recently and I have to say it looks great, it's great to finally have the original version in pristine hd-quality. Great work! Thanks alot, Harmy!

The only mistake that I saw was when Obi Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader were duelling with their lightsabers. Some green flashes popped up between the swords that don't seem to belong there.

Just to help, I analyzed the saber duel scene and the only green things I can find are these:

Some dust or something flying from the sabers when they hit each other at one point, is kinda green here:

Then there's this cyan-colored flash happening one time, but it looks the same in the GOUT. It's frame 127297 in the GOUT. Could anybody check all the other releases and see if it looks the same?

Then there was also this thing that could probably be fixed pretty easily. It's something that probably got copied from the GOUT when Harmy re-did the sabers:

EDIT:

Here's how that flash frame looks in 97 SE TB version and the 2011 BD:

In 1977, the flashes were a pale amber/yellow.  At the outermost edges of the flashes, where the yellowish flash combines with the blue-ish walls, it creates a pale sort of green, but it's subtle.

Interesting. But what about that cyan flash frame I posted?

So let it be written.

So let it be done.

Thanks for that explanation Mike.

This is going to be huge.

Yeah, the dust was there originally.
