Preserving the...cringe...Star Wars Holiday Special (Released) — Page 11

I did receive a DVD copy of the newly-discovered WBBM version.  The quality is also about a 9/10 and looks really good, almost having an edge over the KCCI version--however, due to the rough commercial edits (done on a VCR originally), the intro missing a few seconds, and numerous video glitches here and there, the KCCI is still the best version.

I'd still like to get hold of the original videotape if possible to see what kind of transfer we can get of it.  I'll continue looking into that.

But, can't you just replace the missing bits of the intros and the video glitches with frames from the KCCI version?

I know I asked this question before, but nobody answered me.

we do NOT sell this stuff.

Rapidshare links may still be active, for those that are into that sort of thing. Try searching for "KCCI" at fileshunt.com.

Thanks, Moth3r, that helped.

 

i've posted a version on rapidshare if you're having problems finding it.

let me know with a pm. (i don't know which version i have though)

A few pages back I mentioned that I got another copy of the SWHS from someone on Fanedit.org.  Finally got around to checking it out and backtracking what I got.

Short version - see this post at FE

Presentation is better, as it has an actual menu screen and some other content on it.  Video quality looks decent enough, but I don't know enough about the differences in the various copies floating around that I could ID one section over another as coming from which copy.

Yes, it's a composite.  I haven't watched it all the way through, just saying that it's possible the station ID was removed by virtue of mixing and matching from various sources.

For those not registered at the above forum - is it this version?

Yes, that's it.

Happy Life Day!  We celebrated the 30th Anniversary here with about 25-30 friends (or at least they *were* friends beforehand), and watched it on a big projection screen at 8:00 pm.  It was a beautiful thing.  Like a train wreck is beautiful... see?

It'll be hard to top it for the 35th...

Same to you SKot. I just took out my wookie concept figures and played with them for a while.

Has anybody been able to grab this video?  I've tried everything I know and still can't touch it.

Damn embedded Flash videos!

Snapz Pro should be able to handle it.

...if you're on a Mac, that is.  :(

Actually, even if I could run the software, it wouldn't do the trick for me.  Snapz records exactly what's on your screen, but I can't even get the video to play properly without pauses and glitches every few seconds.  I wouldn't want to record that.  And of course it doesn't cache properly, so when you try to back up the pointer it loads all over again from that point and plays back just as poorly if not worse.

For the sake of being able to merely view it, I really just need to stream it to a file and watch it offline.  Orbit has worked in the past (with some difficulty), but not now.

Did I mention how much I hate Flash?

DWHelper? (I use it on Linux in Firefox.)

Perhaps you should also mention it to whoever is going to be interviewing you?

What do you have against John Wesley Shipp?

(That may be a bit of an old reference for some people around here.)

So, are people still trying to capture the videos and archive the pics and what not from all these pages?

There are links to everything from here.
