Hi all,
I host movie nights at my place and before the feature presentation I like to show trailers, daysets (aka movie theater intros), cartoons/shorts to make it feel like a classic movie showing.
I avoid trailers from YouTube and other online sources because, while they might be HD, they are not high bitrate. This isn’t usually a bid deal on many displays but on my digital projection screen it’s quite glaring. Even a 1080p download from YouTube doesn’t compare to the following BluRay feature.
I usually get the trailers from my own BluRays. I rip the trailers from different “extras” on BluRays and compile them to play before a movie. Maybe 2-4.
I’d really love to have some Star Wars trailers. Even the prequel ones.
I have them on DVD but I don’t want standard def. And I know many of them are HD on YouTube but there’s that previously mentioned bitrate issue.
I know it sounds snobby but I don’t want to go through all that effort and not put care into quality.
So are there any high bitrate preservations of Star Wars trailers? Maybe scanned from 16mm, 35mm, or Super 8 sources? Or are they on that $80+ BluRay set? I don’t want to buy that mega set unless I knew they were on the set and HD. I can’t seem to find any confirmation about that online.
Thanks!
