I'm gonna capture my 35mm reels of the original trilogy that I bought... NO, wait Found in an hidden room at my Great Great Grandmas house (She used to babysit lil' George Lucas you know). THEN I'm gonna take the original STEREOPHONIC sound and digitally remaster the audio into a Digital 9.1 MPEG and a 7.1 DTS soundtrack (The Yamaha RX-Z9 offers 9.1 - REALLY I'm not joking!) and then I'll burn it to a 4-D Holographic DVD
REALLY now children (or 30+ years old men in PJ's in mom's basement that is
) SURE it's cool to spend all kinds of time capturing and converting video I do this myself with my old VHS tapes (parties, my old skate videos and of course my kids!) all the time but to go ON and ON about how you did it and why you did this and that to improve the quality........
Enough is enough - I feel that EVERYBODY should just STOP trying to better everyone else by trying to get the best capture UNTIL the Dual Layer DVD writers are out.
Then at that point capture away!!!
I have like the largest Star Wars movie collection around and when it comes time to REALLY watch Star Wars (you know; popcorn, a tall iced coke, snacks and a few friends)
- I use my REAL and VERY cool Trilogy Laser Discs. Yes that's right I watch the Laser Discs!
And I even get to use the digital PCM audio as my player has an AC3 (optical digital output) out and can output the REAL THX/Dolby Surround signal once sent to my Onkyo 501 and decoded into DTS Neo:6 a process in which a true matrixed stereo signal is processed into 6.1 w/advanced sub-band signal processing= why bother with Pro-logic II and bootlegs?
The resulting audio track sounds WAY AWESOME and I also think that the Laser Discs sound BETTER then the Episode 1 or 2 DVD's
- sure they have real DD-EX 6.1 BUT some scenes just sound so fake, hollow, tinny and way too loud in the rear channels
PROPS to all those that have captured the movie and shared them with all of us.... You all have done a very wonderful job, be it a letterboxed 4:3 or an Anamorphic 1.78:1 widescreen!
BUT
I'll tell you, NO ONE has a DVD version that looks or sounds as GREAT as the real Laser Discs... Nope, not, no one, nobody does and it's not gonna happen PERIOD.
