Oh boy, first newsletter goodness! I can't wait!

I'm still curious about the significance of that site login, BTW...

<--- hasn't signed up yet, either. I guess membership doesn't have its privileges after all.

That is some great work. AVISynth is a wonderful mystery to me that I am going to have to explore. How many variables did you have to put into the script?

Great newsletter.

I had one off topic question. I found a 16mm print of Star Wars for sale. Is it the complete movie or is it just parts of it like the 8mm version?

I also wanted to ask if you guys are still looking for the Faces LD's and which ones. I found a set that says ANH was made in the U.S. and ESB and ROTJ were made in Japan.

So I assumed, but it's still good to know I'm not the only one without a decoder ring.

Just read the newsletter-- wow, thorough. But I wouldn't expect less from the experts! Congratulations on making real progress!

Getting the LDs isn't the problem: we've got over a dozen different copies between the four of us. Finding a local X0 player is our dream scenario.

Ok the initial shock has (almost) worn off.

So in your process to recover the stars (hey that sounds like a great movie title), you've got what sounds like a temporal re-noiser.

Wouldn't the process in theory allow you to improve the quality of the whole movie's capture?
Just an idle thought.

I wouldn't call it a lost cause, a decent number of major label albums are still released in LP format, and essentially everything released by the good minor labels comes out on vinyl. Audiophiles will continue to buy vinyl until a digital format that is easily usable and sounds as good (or more realistically, better) comes along, and even after such a format comes into existence, there will still be people like me who enjoy the overall package that vinyl provides as much as they enjoy it's superior audio quality.
On a related subject, at some point I intend to make a higher then CD quality soundtrack for the Star Wars movies using the pre-digital VHS sets, as I've always felt that the heavily used horn section suffers as a result of the CD quality level soundtrack (44100 hz 16 bit recordings are notoriously terrible when it comes to wind instrument reproduction). I also want to attempt to create an isolated score using the LPs, though I know that the LPs are missing bits of the score, so I'll have to figure out exactly what's missing and see if it can be filled in using the VHS tapes.
