I've been a longtime follower of this preservation board (and the various projects) for about two years but just registered to ask the X0 folks something that I have searched for but don't believe has been answered quite yet. First of all, I own a copy of the Dr. Gonzo set and on that version there is an impressive CGI remake of the trench scene from ANH that pans out into the THX logo (with the trademark "THX sound"), which then explodes. I presume this intro was originally found on the DC laserdisc set, correct me if I'm wrong please... my question is was this intro captured along with ANH and will it also be included on the X0 release?
PCM will probably be the main audio. We're still throwing around ideas though. mono mix, isolated score, alternate languages, etc.
I have no doubt that the X0 Project will be the best preservation of the OT video as found on the LD's. My only real concern regarding the project is the preservation/restoration of its audio... has there been much discussion yet about what will be done about the audio tracks, specifically the 5.1 mix? In my opinion the Dolby 5.1 surround PCM found on the DC is somewhat weak compared to what is found on modern DVD's, for example. Now I don't pretend to be a sound expert but do you know at this point if there will be much effort to "restore" the audio mixes to balance the excellent visual restoration efforts?
