This guy made a pile of mods to a Pioneer CLD-99  LD player, including a video output bypass that circumvents the circuits that (in their heyday) cleaned up the video signal before piping it out via RCA or S-Video. His mods apparently produce about the best video signal you can get out of a laserdisc player. I can't thoroughly explain it, but for all the tech-junkies, it might be worth a visit to his youtube page. If anyone could produce the best copy transfer off of the CAV GOUT discs, I'm sure he could. He's also on AVSForum here, if anyone wanted to petition him. 

I've been scouting for a set of the SW LD's for awhile now.

CAN'T Wait for 2.5! The blu-ray burner is hooked up and ready to go!  

I have done these mods and more to an X9, it does improve the signal, but only a little.

Hi

I'm new on this forum and I'm a big unaltered trilogy guy

Bought the GOUT with the terrible image because I liked it more than Greedo, Boba Fett fucking new voice and ESPECIALLY Jedi Rocks/Hayden Christensen

I just read recently about the despecialized editions and checked on Youtube the video Harmy posted recently and I must say that you're a genius!

I'm definitely getting these versions, they look amazing!!! 

I'm just very confused about the different versions released...you're the new Lucas lol

So there's the 1.0 for all three movies

2.0 (or 2.1?) for Star Wars (will there be any for ESB/ROTJ?)

2.5: Same question? When will those be uploaded? Is there a target release date?

Thanks a lot

Welcome to the forum if you need a myspleen invite code I am always happy to send them out

We've all been waiting for a release date Harmy wanted to finish it a long time ago but school and some technical issues go in the way. It is late June so school should be out by now and hopefully he solved his technical issues I know he was having some issues with Blu-ray authoring and he was also waiting for people to provide him with video. No idea what is holding up the release at this particular moment as Harmy has not posted much updates so one can only hope that he is in the final stages or maybe he is waiting for project Blu version 2 and other such projects to finish.

A 2.5 for ESB and ROTJ are in the works as well so let's see who finishes first Harmy or Adywan

As for your question regarding the differences in version numbers I am not sure about that and to further add to your confusion there are also partially despecialized editions whether that would be pre 1.0 or those are what the 1.0s are I don't know so hopefully someone can sorth that out for the both of us

There's only one problem with version 2.1 though.  Unlike 2.0 there's only an AVCHD and not a higher bitrate version.

Still looks unbelievably awesome on my 58" plasma.

Yep, still looks great on anything I've seen it on.

As has been discussed a little bit before, the higher bitrate doesn't seem to have done a whole lot (for 2.0), but will improve some of the mild artifacting in places. The 2.0 MKV also has a boat-load more audio tracks, which adds some to the overall file size.

Overall, I believe Harmy was going for a good "in-between" bitrate - slightly higher than the current AVCHD (2.1), and a little less than 2.0, in order to accommodate for lossless audio, and the extras. Should be a great compromise :)

Hope it's nothing too serious Harmy old chap.

Set up a kickstarter......

Itll make you some summer cash to work on these.
