Hi,

Congrats for your work, it seems to be a huge step forward to a full HD theatrical version of TPM.
As you know, I’m currently working on my own HD reconstruction for almost 1 year. It seems that I took a different way to get a theatrical reconstruction in HD quality (some of my sources and tools are different than yours + some “missing” scenes like the arrival on Coruscant or the Senate will be in true HD in my version, not in upscaled SD).

Examples :

It seems also that I took some different decisions than yours about theatrical audio sources, color grading, missing frames or subtitles, and that I detected some issues with the TV sources that you use (HDTV and ORF1), mainly about missing frames, colors and cropped images.

I still have several weeks of work before achieving something watchable. Perhaps the simplest way is that I also finish my version, and eventually we get together to propose an “ultimate” version based on your work and mine ? What do you think ?
Anyway, I do not want to give up a work I’ve been to for a year, and in the same time, I do not want to make a “concurrent version” of yours. So when I’ll have finished my version, I’ll suggest, if you’re interested, a collaboration to achieve the best result.

In the meantime, thank you and congratulations for the quality work you share!
