Definitely got that nostalgia feel š
My only small suggestion/request is that perhaps you could reinsert the Ep 4, ANH crawl. The XO project scan should provide an awesome starting point, though I think thatās NTSC sourced so you may want to look into a PAL laserdisc rip. Or not - this looks great and is an awesome GOUT project. Otherwise, perhaps I could get a lossless copy from you to assemble it for myself without re-encoding?
What were your encode settings for this, btw?
Very much looking forward to ESB and RotJ
I would like to put the '81 crawl back in (perhaps sourced from DeSpecialized v2.7?), but wasnāt exactly sure as to how it could be done. Iāll look into it for a V2 release. TESB will be up later this afternoon!
I did a double pass encode, average bitrate of 15mpbs, with a max of 25mbps.
If you want an accurate Episode IV crawl/flyover, donāt use Despecialized. It is sourced from the BR and is not accurate. I am very close to being done with my remastered version which I am trying to make as close as possible to the original. I have the correct starfield (what Poita could pull from the 81 35 mm scan) with additional stars from the same starfields used in TESB (from the Grindhouse 35 mm scan). I have a very nice copy of the 77 opening/flyover from Williarob that I used for the Blockade Runner, lasers, Star Destroyer, and engine glow. The only piece I have not gotten to match the 81 version so far is the edge of the Star Destroyer as is covers first the Blockade Runner and then the moon. I am nearly there, but it isnāt right yet. That is next up on my list because I want to finish my GOUT Color correction and my workflow has the 81 crawl/flyover as the first layer. I even have a way to export it at the right resolution so it matches the GOUT very well. The original is full 1080p.
