By the way, I have pretty much decided to produce both an upscaled version, and a standard DVD-5 version.  The reason being, there are still a lot of people out there who are only prepared to deal with standard DVDs, and so I think more people will see it if it is also produced in that format.  Plus it's kinda fun to make the menus and throw on an extra or two.  It shouldn't change the schedule to make it in both formats simultaneously.  Thoughts?

It's a good idea, you are catering to both camps, nothing wrong with that, hell I am kind of doing the same thing.

Sounds pretty fantastic to me i have both the grande and the swedish on a dvd-5.

I don't have a dual-layer burner, so DVD-5 just saves me an extra step.

Choices are good. :)

Hey Puggo hows this coming along?

Adywan is still working on the color correction of reels 2 and 3.  I'm also expecting to get the 2nd print in a couple of weeks, which I'm only going to use for a couple of patches (I'm not going to scan the whole thing).  Sound sync is done.

Adywan has been busy so the color correction patiently awaits.

I received the second print from rsortor (for splicing in a couple of corrections), but I haven't yet captured it because I was using the equipment for the THX-1138 capture (see the thread in "other projects").

Just finished capturing reel 1 of the backup print.  Will capture reel 2 tomorrow night.

Awesome stuff.

Any chance you'll have this ready before May 4th? ;)

Just finished scanning reels 2 and 3 of the backup print.

Next will capture the audio off the backup print.

I don't know what it's worth.  It would be fun to see, but I remain skeptical that an 8mm scan can compete with the GOUT.

I use AuctionSieve, and it didn't catch it either.

Finished capturing the audio from the alternate print.  It sounds very good!

Good news, everyone!
