Unfortunately, Wookie Groomer, the HD versions available when i started this project weren't the best of quality so it will be standard DVD def only. I am using the better quality HD footage for all the latest FX work on the Death Star battle because it retains a lot ore detail when resized to 720 x 576 than the original DVd version. Also the edit so far has filled up 5 hard drives so if i had worked with the HD footage for everything i would have run out of space within the first couple of weeks. lol. It would ahve been ideal but too much work has already been completed to do a HD version, sorry.
Some good news now though. the funds finally went through with paypal so i got the final drive needed today. Went to my local Pc shop and purchased a 500Gb SATA-II drive so i now have enough space to finish the edit. a major big thanks to you guys. But thats not all. i can't believe my luck today. The store is running a promotional give-away prize draw thingy. because i spent over £60 i could chose 2 of the numbers they have printed on this board with the chance to win a prize. Well for some reason i chose 11 & 38 ( i wonder why) and i won with 38. I was expecting some sort of t-shirt or mug but no.... a bloody brand new ATI PCI-E X1950 pro graphics card. I have to admit i never liked the ATI cards and have always been a Nvidia man myself but this thing rocks( more so because it was free) . If i had been buying a new card (which i didn't need because mine wasn't that old and still did everything i needed it to anyway) i wouldn't have gone for an ATI but this changed my mind. I guess i'm still buzzing at the fact that i chose 1138 and won. Maybe its karma. lol
anyway i was going to have a well earned week long break away from the edit but now i'm buzzing too much i just want to work my ass off and get this out there.
thanks again guys
