I do not understand what is happening here. So you got full film scans (from the Team Negative One forums?), and then you color corrected them, then un-color corrected them, they compressed them to DVD resolution?
No? But maybe I explained it unclearly; so I got the scans years ago and NOT from TN1 forums. I did some remastering and cleaning, and then I used a foreign colour-match tool (not the one in this forum) to make the colours perfectly match the cinema versions. TheStarWarsTrilogy.com forum has a 4K97 but it is not the best in colour and the quality of the films were always 480p, I did nothing but transfer the films to an MP4 file as 480p.
Why do you keep insisting that the quality of the films were always 480p, when you have been told on numerous occasions that they were NOT?
The films were 480p in 1997, and I do not understand why have you not understood it? The films were released as 360p in home video releases, and the original videos from 1996 were 480p. And when I got the scans, they were 480p. If they are not 480p, what is it then? the films were 480p in 1997, and I have no intention of making a 720p, 1080p, 1440p or 4K version. I do not wish to argue, but this is getting me irritated.
The films projected at the theatres in 1997 were NOT 480p. Depending on where you saw it you were watching the equivalent of over 720p when viewing a 35mm film print. as these prints were newer than the originals, taken from the newer negative and with newer film stock , it’s closer to 1080p that it would be to 480p. Even back in 1977, with older projection and different film stocks , you would still be viewing something around 720p, if not higher. Just take a look at the scans of the films done by TeamNegtive1. They were taken from theatrical prints that would have been shown in cinemas. THAT is what you would have been seeing. You can’t honestly think that they are really only 480p worth of detail in there.
Well, it does not matter what they are presented on, but let’s avoid arguments and/or debates in the future.
