EP IV (v3) still has one more shot to polish off (the Falcon actually some manoeuvres - an enhancement of the original shot rather than a new composite like in Adywan's), but now I'm torn between doing some colour correction, which I know so many people would like to see, and leaving it be, because the colours have never been a problem for me (except the saturation on Tatooine).
So what are people's biggest problems with the colours in Ep IV? The Tantive IV, obviously, and the first shots of Tatooine, but any other shots that you'd like to see corrected?
ADM, you sent me a PM but I don't have your email address any more. I'll think about it in my downtime, but I don't think it's something I can pull off.

Not sure if this means lowering the saturation or tint or what, but the colors were boosted way too much for the DVDs.
I'd take a handful of screenshots from a bootleg '97 SE DVD, and then adjust the settings to match them. That'd be good enough for me.

So this is another unediting of the 2004 SE? Nice work! Would definitly seed this if there was a NTSC and a torrent aviliable!
There is a torrent, or at least there was. I can't remember if I put the PAL or NTSC version up though - probably PAL. There was also a 24fps XVID AVI floating around for a while too.
There will be PAL, NTSC and XVID versions of v3, and I will also create (but perhaps not distribute) a PAL "true speed" version. This will be interlaced, so it will only be suitable for watching on a CRT television.

Sounds like you got a great set of goals there, good luck to ya! Being in the States, I can only see the NTSC version obviously. lol

I'm starting to feel the same way, if you’re not looking at screen caps side by side the color correction is not something you really notice when you’re watching it on a TV (besides the lightsabers, cant forget the lightsabers
). That said it still would be cool if the movie was color corrected. I thought you were tinkering with some techniques to correct the color in the thread that was using the GOUT as a basis? None of them worked out for you to apply the process to the entire movie? If not I wouldn’t mind having a v3 released without color correction so I could watch a great edit over the winter holiday

Two specific shots really annoy me.
It counts as being on the Tantive IV, when it cuts to a rear shot of the two or three Stormtroopers chasing the Rebel soldiers up the hall way and the scene fills with smoke and dissolves to R2 and 3PO cowering in the door way, preparing to cross the hall. The shot is way too green.
The other is the scene of the twin sun's setting. In the original, the scene was more bright and didn't seem to be too late in the afternoon/evening. However on the 2004 DVD's its way too dark and (I know this may sound a little weird) but it actually effects the emotion of that scene for me. The original brightness/contrast of that shot and the time of day in which it was shot, for some reason has a great nostalgic emotion on me (even in real life). So for me personally, that scene definitely needs fixing.

I guess it is a tiny bit green, but I don't think it's any worse than any of the other shots in that scene, so I'm not going to do it.

You have a point about this one - I'm going to adjust the levels, very slightly.
v3 is almost ready to render! Some of the new changes are:
- Many more lightsabres repainted and coloured, including (almost?) all the shots aboard the Falcon and a number from the duel.
- The Falcon now manoeuvres a bit after Han boasts about his manoeuvres - similar to Adywan's change, but only altering the existing scene.
- The stars continue to drift just before the Falcon goes into Hyperspace.
- A burn mark that appears before Vader strikes a wall is removed.
I'm starting to lose track of everything I've done, and when I did it, so there may be other stuff I've forgotten about. And of course this includes all the changes I made for v2, which was only released as an Xvid AVI.

Can we (ie losers like me who have a slow @rse connection) expect an Xvid option for d/l DE?

I'm a Region 1-er, too (Canada), but I can watch anything I want, even PAL discs on my NTSC television. I got a Malata DVP-580 region free DVD player, which does region and video switching. I just stick in the disc and it does everything for me. One of the best things I've ever bought! You should look into it, too.

Yup. It'll be non-anamorphic, to fit on a single CD with stereo sound, running at 23.976fps.
Arnie.d, I've been meaning to make snippets available for people who want to use them in their edits, but I've yet to set up a decent way of getting them out there. I've also lost the emails from the other person who wanted some of my patches - if you're reading this, whoever you are (I've got a bad memory) email me again.

• The subtitles have been moved higher into the picture, so they now lie on the 10% "text safe" line (within the frame of the movie - there isn't room underneath, and this way the DVD and Xvid editions can be made from the same source).
• Graphic equalization of Tarkin and Leia's dialogue before the destruction of Alderaan. I attempted this originally, but for some reason I couldn't make it work - I don't know why, it was easy (are you listening, George...?)
• I just couldn't resist this one - Greedo now frowns on his last line, as inspired by Adywan, but implemented by me. There are no other changes, as I feel anything else would just be eye candy, but this one change makes Greedo so more menacing, and is actually a very effective compromise to those who may feel Han is still a bit too cold-blooded - Greedo actually becomes a threat.
• Han only fires off one shot (it matches the audio and firing two looks a little lame).
These are in addition to the "manoeuvres" shot and the drifting stars before going into hyperspace, as mentioned earlier, and whatever else I've done but can't remember.
Sorry that this means another delay, but all 3 publicly available additions should be completed by next weekend. I'll be able to seed them at up to 2mbit, but only between about midnight and 8am GMT.
