Hey, Harmy. I see that you're using the GOUT to reinsert the shots that were replaced, but I also read that you have an IB technicolor print of the movie that you're using for a color reference.

Why not do a good 2K (or 4K) scan of the print? Do you think it's a release print struck from the IN, or is it a special print struck from the original camera negative? If it's just a regular generation print, than 2K with the highest color depth should suffice, otherwise I would opt for 4K. I'm sure it would cost a fortune, but I'm certain that many of the fans would be willing to make contributions, including myself. Do you have a PayPal account?

Let's do this.

Hey tortugash, check out Mike V's thread on preserving Star Wars, and Team Negative 1's thread on a 35mm preservation...

This link says we can have it scanned at 2K and recorded in HD for less than $1000. (I did the math. The movie is 11,000 feet long.) Or we can get it scanned at 2K and recorded in 2K for less than $2000. Both options have DPX files, so you would have way more color information than the Blu-ray's.

I'm downloading the current version (v2.0) right now. I discovered the annoyance that is the CAPTCHA. For all yall, it's the thing that prompts you to "retype these letters" in JDownloader every 10-seconds.

 

Even after I go through the settings and check "Disable Automatic CAPTCHA" it still does it! This is a real buzzkill. I can't just sit at my computer for 10hrs typing this over and over again. It keeps interrupting the download.

Anyone know how to do away with it for good?

Disabling the automatic CAPTCHA will do the opposite of what you want. jDownloader can automatically fill in the CAPTCHA for you for some sites, which that option disables. For some sites, however, the CAPTCHA has to be entered by a human. If you don't want to have to enter the CAPTCHA, you're going to have to download from a place that doesn't use them.

 

A place such as...

It would be easier for them to just close their business right away, without going through the troubles of getting sued.

No professional transfer lab will transfer a movie unless you are the copyright owner unfortunately.

And Harmy doesn't have it anyway, so the point is kind of moot.

I just about spit my coffee out reading the end of the last page, hahahaha.

Yeah, if anyone really did such a transfer, I imagine it being catastrophic, which is sad. Perhaps a long time from now, in a galaxy far, far away.

I guess you guys are unaware of http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/team-negative1-star-wars-1977-35mm-theatrical-version-release-details-and-updates/topic/14590/

It's not the IB, but yeah.

ALLOL

What is that? "All lol'd?" Everybody lol'd?

Hello guys, how are you? First of all, I'd like to thank Harmys for the fantastic Despecialized Edition! It's a very good job. 

I'm a new member here, so can someone give me a myspleen invite? 

Thanks! 

Harmy would it be ok to upload the Despecialized edition onto youtube? There are a very large amount of Star Wars fans and classic movie fans in general who would love to see this but may not have the technical expertise or the right equipment in order to burn a DVD. I think that if the Despecialized edition were streamed on youtube it would open up the film to a much wider group of people. I see that Adywan's revisited has been uploaded onto youtube in 13 parts
