No offense, but I thought all TFNers (especially those officially involved with anything) were all "OMG, the SE SE is the definitive editions, the originals are unfinished and crappy! You don't really seem to fit with that.

I'm glad to see that your sort of TFNer exists. It is a very rare thing, heretofore thought to be an oxymoron.

Hello Zion,

I was just wondering how your work is progressing (I'm sure we're all eager to know). I'm very excited about your project, and can only hope you might be nearing a release date for ANH. I don't mean to be nosy or try to be ungrateful (I'm so so very very greateful you've put your time, energy, and money into this) but I'm itching to see the some of the new X0 tranfers. Perhaps a few new screenshots of what you're working on?

Thanks again,
Birdie

This may be slightly off topic, but how big are the X0 transfers? Are they considered the best "source material" transfer at the moment?

I know when I did my transfer of all three films they were ~65GB per film using lossless (a must IMHO) HuffyUV codec. I had ZERO dropped frames and manually (mathmatically and dealing with pattern breaks) deinterlaced it all. The problem was that I was using an ATI card which I KNOW wasn't giving me the best possible results. My LD player also was the Pioneer DVL919 which was the last generation made and was likely made with the cheapest possible parts as LD had all but died at that point.

I'm just curious. I can't wait for Zion's release as it has the most potential in my opinion as he seems to have the highest standards in terms of uncompromising quality (anamorphic 16x9, dual-layer, best screen cap results, audio options, lack of annoying "branding" etc,) but having the best "source" to play with myself is something I'd also be interested in. Not to mention that lossless compressed AVI would be useful for future (post-DVD) archival.

Eeewwwwww- that didn't sound exactly right, MBJ

666th poster, eh? Does that mean Lucas shoves a pinapple up your arse in Hell (a la Little Nicky) or vice/versa? I mean, you should get some kind of prize for being so evil.

Wow, the menus look great - I haven't even put a single brain cell towards thinking about menus yet.

Damn Zion, impressive most impressive. Menu's look great. I can't wait to see these menu's on the finished project. Keep up the great work!
