Thirdeded, or something similar ;)

I always wanted to introduce my girlfriend to the OT (and PT if really, really necessary), so I'll definitely use this set to do just that :)

Alien language only? Or full-feature English subs?

Try to think about how Vader would have to be holding his sabre for the 2004 version to make sense.

Now I see it, thanks timdiggerm. Didn't realise Luke's arm got obscured in Vader's figure.

Wait, I'm confused. Can someone elaborate why ady would swap blades?
The 2004 shot doesn't look wrong to me, or am I really that blind?

Couldn't have answered it any better :)

Will you be releasing Harmy's cover set along the same time when you send out the BLUs, d_j? Or do we just turn to Harmy himself for those? :)

BLU still looks a lot better than v3.
Fantastic work.
The original GOUT looks wasted effort compared to the other two, honestly :)

Good thing I'm all set for BLU then! :)

Just install MPCStar (Comet Player), and the lagarith codec, like Harmy said. Plays just fine on your pc that way.

Indeed. Noticed that one too, Ripplin. Very good work, I'd say.
Loving it more and more (if that were even possible).

The costume was designed with proportionally longer than human hands as can be seen in this ROTJ photo, basically he's an alien with arms and hands different from our own.

Thanks Bingowings :)

What about Bossk's arm? Around the 5:23 mark. It just seems to dangle there, in a really weird bent angle. Has it been discussed already?
Will/can that be fixed?

There isn't anything wrong with Bossk's arm in this scene. Nothing to fix there.

Just fixed the wobbly panel

It's just that in my opinion, from where I see it, his arm seems too big, and a little bent out of shape. It even reaches his knees. Know, honestly, I don't know much about the character Bossk himself, besides his ESB appearance, so I'm just asking.

My Balls of Steel Edition is still underway from Amazon UK :( =D

Wouldn't this newfound trick still come in handy if you decide to do SE Blu's?

If 'a little bit better' is negligible, than there's no need, as far as I'm concerned. Of course, I don't speak for the others that sent in blu's.

Unless Lucas relents and releases a restored version on whatever format exists at said future time, this is the only star wars i will need to watch.

I think we'd get Star Wars Episodes VII, VIII and IX sooner than we would fully restored Blu's of the OT :)

Awesome update d_j, thank you :)

Ady, you should have taken a vacation from this edit a long time ago. Spend all the time you can with your dad because family is the most important thing. Our hearts here at OT.com go out to you and your family.

Same thoughts here. Vacation has been long overdue.

I'm actually curious as to who the insensitive prick is, but I would only end up spamming the guy with messages of me describing painful things.

If he read ady's message on fb, and we're lucky, maybe he'll back off altogether, now that he knows ady's (finally) put everything on hold.
Other way around, he could get really pissed now...

ady, I demand you take a break! We would all appreciate it, I'm sure, and well understand your need for it. :)
Besides, like you said, you're knackered, and more prone to mistakes than when you're you're peaking ;)

I'm sure this works a lot faster, easier, and is more what dark_jedi meant:

I already said a few posts back,
"OH, and sorry up front about the color, now I have been fucking around with it."
Well here is the sample, remember it is a big one LOL, I wanted a lot of different scenes to look at, and I will pull back on the noise\grain setting, but like I said, if I go to far back on them it will look like pure crappola, well anyways here is the sample links, and I just want to clarify 1 more time, is this perfect, hell no.

This is a sample I whipped up to show you the problems I am having, look at where the sky meets the ground, watch when Luke runs over to Beru, look over Owens shoulder, and when Owen calls Luke over with him and 3PO, this is a very small clip with no audio.
I still have other setting to try but this is my problem.

I am actually pretty happy with this one, any and all suggestions welcome.

Well I think this is ALL I can do to this video, you have to remember that the flaws that are present on the 2006 retail Limited Edition Bonus DVD & the V3 DVD all have these same flaws, I tried to clean up the best I can, to me it really does not bother me at all, it is what it is, we can only process this video so much, I have asked for suggestions and have gotten very few to none(and when I say suggestions I mean actual filters, commands,etc.) I also think I have a pretty fair balance between the grain and noise problem now to, all scenes look pretty good, again, at least to me, this set obviously will not be for everyone, but I think it will be a great companion set to the official BD Saga release this September, well here are the links, it is only a 699 MB file and uses the 1985 Stereo LPCM audio, and for the color, I tweaked it just a little bit, but it is real close to the V3 SW color.

*Edit - If you guys do like this all I have to do is finish up the subs and then I can render this baby and move on to ESB.

I agree Harmy, but I did say last three pages. :)

That would explain everything. I'm currently using my girlfriend's laptop, since it's 0:30PM here, and I'm off to bed. Hers doesn't have the lagarith codec, but my desktop does.

I basically have all the necessary codecs (like lagarith), and all common media players and tools (including virtual dub) on my desktop, but not here.
I'll check it tomorrow after work, and let you know :)
Although, if Harmy says it's good, I'm sure it is ;)

Thanks for the tip Harmy, but somehow, it still doesn't work.

I'm having trouble opening the file. Won't read in VLC, Windows Media Player, Divx+, or PowerDVD 9. Any suggestions?

It's like RedFive said then, I assume.
Those two caps look better in the '04 version, I agree.
I don't like the pale look on 3PO in the DV shot, since he's supposed to be gold-plated, and it doesn't really look like it.

If you're more content with the DV Tantive shots, my first thought would be a little mix and match.
