My computer has been churning hard for a long long time and has spit out what will probably be my final version of ANH. 6-passes, PCM audio, etc, etc.
There are no black borders (beyond the few lines in Moth3r's original). You have the full 360 lines of picture that all other anamorphic transfers will have.
It looks pretty darn good. There are 80 chapter points (of questionable accuracy).
I will sit through the film this weekend to check for any serious encoding problems or audio sync errors.
While you all are waiting for me to do the dirty job. Here's some final post filter, post encoding screenies.
I'll update the first post in the thread after that.
Then I can relax a few days while I finish grabbing ESB from MySpleen...
Btw, did I actually see bitrot in the original release?
