See, I didn't think the V8 looked that great at all, but this is why to each their own applies right? the only thing I do know for sure is this, my new set BLOWS away the Dark\Sega set by leaps and bounds, at least to me anyways.

I thought the donators were already getting the laserdisc rip of the originals you provided a sample of earlier? So the 1997 SE broadcasts are now also exclusive to donators too?

I am only going to say this 1 more time, I am not 100% sure yet, my whole deal was the ESB IE project with ABC and the GOUT V3, nothing else was ever set in stone anyways, plus I am not an uploading machine LOL, and those waiting on Paradox, well I do not use those file sharing companies like RS, HF, etc. I do not have a premium account and I do not want AvPee uploading it either, I really do not care for that glory hound POS anyways, so if and when these are OK'd by my testers they will be most likely be @ a.b.starwars but if I do torrent them, they will be at spleen, so let's just get them out and tested first OK? this is ALOT of DVD's to upload, plus some want the PCM tracks I did, well all of them are a ton of GB's as well.

d_j, do you have a vacation planned after all these are out the door?  You've earned it.

Actually I have been on a kind of vacation, I have been laid off since early November unfortunately, that is why these DL's you guys sent really helped more than you guys could imagine LOL.

I wish I would've seen the announcement about the DLs. Missed it somewhere along the line.

 It doesn't look as good as the X9 screens he posted, but there's no rainbowing (though yours has very little), and there's slightly more detail, probably because there's no grain filters applied. Or did you not use a grain filter?

Not that I'm knocking your efforts ;) Just making an observation. Like I said, there's no chroma shift in yours, and I agree, it does look much better than the screens of the V1.

But I've never seen a LaserDisc in person to compare with, if that's what you mean.

Well, I just got done burning and verifying vbangle's V3 MBE Set and FINALLY got to watch these on my 65" Mits HDTV being upconverted to 1080p, HOLY SHIT do these look and sound friggin GREAT! this is the first time I actually got to see the V3 on TV, I am really liking this, can't wait to hear all the different audio's on the regular set though.

Sounds funny, considering how long the process has been. Haha. Glad you're pleased with them, especially on a large TV. :)

Me too.  Looking forward to these anyway D_J.

Well, if they ever get tehparadox to work properly it would be a good place for folks who know and like to use JDownloader.  Every single time I try to access the site it drags like cement bricks encased in lead.  There are also times when clicking links there where I get diverted to some "pay for" downloading site....it sucks.

Any suggestions on easier ways to navigate it would be greatly appreciated.

Try a new ISP?  I've never had any problems loading TehParadox.

I was only referring to your basic set, dark_jedi.
I'm aware your bonus set was for those who sent in DL's, and I'm fine with that, obviously. It's a fine reward.

Like some others, I too wouldn't mind sending in some DL's late at this point.
Although since I live in Belgium, I'm not sure if those would survive the long trip.

does the Bonus set have the subtitles?

Yes, all sets have subtitles now, that is another improvement over my earlier versions, I actually forgot them on some, and didn't know how to do them on others.

rockin said:

dark_jedi did you get my pm?

Yes I did, along with several others from other members, I am still undecided, but leaning towards no, I am just about finished now and don't really think I need any more blank DL's.

I'm sure these will be available through all the usual methods.  The only thing required may be a little patience.  I've been wanting this set for more than a few months now.  An extra couple of days won't kill me.

Wow! These covers look great, and the SE V2s are done!! Many many many thanks DJ.

As much as I appreciate your attempt at assistance, switching ISP's just for this is not a viable solution.

I'll figure it out on my own.  Thanks.

And here i thought he was talking about if you removed the burned in japan subtitles that made the V1 all but unwatchable of your Japan special collection DVD's.

They worked exclusively as a direct preservation of the laserdisc.  No trying to improve the video, or making it anamorphic etc.
