The script might not be perfect, but Harmy seems to have done a thorough job of customizing it afterward. I don't think it'd necessarily benefit greatly from starting all over. 

Personally I'd feel a lot better if I watched two minutes of the BluRays themselves then looked at the Despecialized again. Any imperfections melt by comparison.

Some time ago (and naturally I can't find it now) there was a discussion about the ® symbol on the Fox logo appearing earlier than the rest of the logo in 2.1, and I think Harmy said that he had to reconstruct that himself.

I discovered last night that one of my old Fox Blu-rays has the same logo as Star Wars, complete with the ® (still appearing before the rest of the logo, but done officially rather than being a reconstruction). The discussion was a while ago, but does anyone need a copy of that logo, or has it already been sorted out for 2.5?

Can someone recreate the deleted Jabba Scene? from "a new hope" with? the actor Declan Mulholland in HD? The available version of a reconstruction is bad because you can see the stencils and the quality differences of the sources, also a color correction is missing.

And I also want to see the final version from 1997 in HD, with and without original cinema subtitles. If someone needs some source, I have a DVD Transfer from a 1997 German Laserdisc, with original German cinema subtitles.

And color correction & picture cleaning of the official Blu Ray deleted scenes would also be nice.

Anything else? Your face on the $1 bill, perhaps?

Harmy used the Fox logo from the ALIEN blu ray for 2.1 - I dunno if it needed/needs tweaking, however.

I haven't checked this thread in a while, but I had no idea that all Harmy was waiting for was the lossless audio files from hairy_hen. I really hope he gets them done soon as I'm dying to see 2.5 released.

I suppose you could upload only the video track and let people mux it with whatever they like.

To play devil's advocate, isn't this the second time you've delayed the release "a couple of days?" I think waiting might be prudent, too, but I'm just trying to think about all sides...

Harmy said:

Yeah, the logo has already been fixed for v2.5

Aha! Well then, nothing to see here :)

How about they get released now and then  when HH is ready to upload, then we all mux the audio in our selves.

It's so easy to do any ways.

We could post a how to for muxing, for those who haven't figured it out already.

I agree with you, Harmy, about not really needing lossless audio tracks mixed from lossy sources. Seems like something that most here(aside from the most hardcore audiophiles) could do without.

I just took this interesting color vision test and scored 16 (where 0=Perfect Color Acuity , 99=Low Color Acuity and the worst score ever in my gender and age group is 444445389). Not too bad, I think :-)

I may make the test compulsory for everyone wanting to engage in any future DeEd color correction discussion with me :-D ;-)

Lol, I did that a couple of years ago on a nice monitor and got it perfect.. Will have to give this another go on a proper monitor when I get a chance and see if I can still do it.

On the lossless note, yeah, for being complete and all, it'd be nice to wait, but it has indeed been a couple months now. Wasn't aware it was from a lossy source though, I wonder what more details exist on that..

In any case, it'd certainly be good to start on the full BD authoring instead of waiting on those files. At the very least, it'd be "ready" sooner, and getting it pieced together is the hardest part. Hell, if the MKV is ready, I'm sure we can easily get the "lossless" (now I question the losslessness of this! damn!) figured out. Anyone who cares enough about such a thing can take the 5 min. to do what they need. If it really came down to it, getting a "2.5 + Lossless" out there probably wouldn't hurt.

+1 for giving it however much longer and then going for it.. +2 for starting on authoring, as that's the bigger pain.

I got a 12. Very cool test!

And ditto to the above post. Good points made all around.
