I’ll see if any possibilities of getting the deleted scenes in HD are available, but for now, they’re in DVD quality until further notice. Sorry, folks. I tried. Still, if there’s another way to improve the quality, I’d be happy to know about it. Feel free to let me know if you have a solution.
There is currently only one project im aware of that is upscaling them, but hasn’t responded back or posted anything in while. They’re using Topaz to upscale them, and look great so far. I have Topaz but need a better Graphics card to handle it. If you’re having problems running Mp4 in resolve then you would def need an upgraded Graphics card too. It does 4k and looks great so if you’re interested and feel like trying, i think its worth the purchase.

It’s okay, Sandman. I already posted this, but I’ll repeat myself. I forgot to download the audio track. I’ve gotten that taken care of, so the problem is solved. Now, my main concern is re-editing my version with the HD file I’m using (Which is almost complete, thankfully). Once that’s done, I have to start learning how to use Resolve and get the sound edited, the opening crawl changed, The color graded, the transitions fixed, the subtitles looking Star Wars-y, and so on.
No problem, its just an alternative to the great work Hal has done so far. All of us are running off the Hal versions for now, but especially with the 4k releases there is a need for some for an even crisper, cleaner upscale.
As to Sound editing and color grading in resolve, there are many great youtube videos or webpages i have found that are very helpful in explaining how to export in surround sound or edit and color grade. A lot of people like to use color luts and i believe there are some available in the community. So some options there.
As far as the opening crawl changed, best option imo is a blender template someone on the forum created. It keeps the scale and fade, etc all right as the text scrolls off into the horizon. Blender is a free open source project. There are many other alternatives though and the option of seeking help from some one with Blender.
Ive no suggestions for subtitle fixing as im not even there yet in my own edits. Im stuck on vfx work. There is a technical section of the forum though where you may find help or answers.
