Posted with the kind blessing of Williarob over on TSWT - a preservation of his own Beta set…

 

^ a couple of images of the Star Wars Trilogy on Betamax (1984/86 CBS-Fox releases) found online - for illustrative purposes.

 
 

• Star Wars: 2.19gb - an mkv file.

• Empire Strikes Back: 2.28gb - an mkv file.

• Return Of The Jedi: 2.45gb - an mkv file.

^ 6.92gb in total.

 
 

Screenshots (from Willarob’s own Betmax set)
 

 

 

 
 

Available via 📍 250+ available Original Trilogy Preservations - from a long time ago . . . . 📍 - or on the TSWT forum. 👍
 

^ If anyone has any VHD, Video2000, and Video8 format preservation projects for the Original Trilogy, please send me a PM. Thanks.

 
 

Those great old Betamax machines from back in the day were truly something else…

 

Plus seeing Scotch tapes being used for the official Beta release brings back fond old memories…
