forgive me if this is a dumb question, but don’t we already have the 81 crawl in the SSE?

It is in sorry shape. Horrible grain and over contrasted to the point there are only a handful of stars. It was unusable. There just was no way to recover the very crushed blacks.

Ahh gotcha, yeah I always thought the 81 flyover and crawl looked so different than the actual film. Is there any way to download this from vimeo?

Info Wanted: The Phantom Menace HDTV Broadcast is the theatrical cut?
Time

yotsuya said:

There are 3 versions of The Phantom Menace. Theatrical, DVD, and Blu-ray. The running time of the DVD and Blu-ray are the same with the major difference being Yoda (DVD = puppet, Blu-ray = CG). The theatrical version is what was issued on VHS (Both pan&scan and widescreen), LD, and aired on European TV. There are two airings preserved, TB and Orf. They are the highest quality versions avaialble. The pod race sequence is the original and the Coruscant speeder scene is original (both were extended for the DVD which changed the running time). There are other differences, but those are the ones that affect the length. A couple of shots were cut in the process of changing those two things and so a handful of clips are only available in SD (From the European broadcasts) until such a time as a film print is scanned. The DVD version was also broadcast in HD and Schorman has preserved all 6 of those (eps 1-6). The quality is better on several of them and it was before the Blu-ray edits were made.

There is no HD version of The Phantom Menage theatrical version available. There are several recreations. I have my own (which I have not shared with anyone) and I intend to see if I can improve those scenes enough to be mostly unnoticable, but if you want the best raw sources, they are TB and Orf (I think this one is Sweedish).

Have you tried using super resolution to upscale the SD scenes? That seems go work very well!

FYI, I would again recommend contacting Schorman to see if he has a patched version of the Cinema DTS that he can provide you (he’s done so for TPM and ROTS, but I don’t know if he ever did AOTC since until now the only thing to sync it to was the Centropy bootleg).

I did like 4ish days ago but I haven’t gotten a response yet 😕

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONEEEEE

Ah yes, this line delivered by Anakin in the 35mm version was omitted in the digital release.

Yes it was right before he said “I hate them!”. I’ve dubbed it I’m using my own voice.

Lol sry guys I was very drunk last night when I posted happy New Years.

The iso-disc image of the CinemaDTS CD-ROM discs can be found on the usenet circuit, but one would have to do the work in encoding the .AUD files and syncing them to the 23.975fps video.

You can do some reading on this here:

See I never understood how the Usenet think worked, would you mind explaining it to me, sorry 😕
