Ady, when the painting is finished, how are you going to scan it? Do you know what you are going to use? The techno geek in me is curious.....

I'm going to go down the photography route. I have had a few paintings scanned in the past and the results haven't been that good. the problem with scanning a painting is that the scanner emphasises the brush strokes and highlights them. the best route i have always found is taking a photograph. You need a tripod and good lighting, preferably daylight, but not too strong that there will be any reflections on the painting so never use a flash. I always use the self timer function because this eliminates the risk of any blurring when taking the picture. You do need a good camera though.

Hey Adywan,

I had a showing of your NTSC DVD-5 version over the weekend for 10 people on a huge 8 foot wide projection system, and people loved it. There were actually no complaints over any of the changes you made.

But a few people, including myself, noticed that the audio gets slightly out of sync after they leave Tatooine, up until the destruction of Alderan. I know a couple other people on this forum mentioned noticing that a while back, but at that time I watched those scenes over and over again on my computer and it didn't seem out of sync.

Maybe it's only noticeable when the image was blown up so large and the movements of lips are that much more visible. Or maybe the problem is only on the center channel, which is why I never noticed it with my stereo headphones...?

I noticed it at about 55:10, starting when Han says "Go strap yourselves in..." Watch when he says "light speed". Han makes the "sp" sound with his lips after it was already said. I'm watching it on my computer now, running the ISO from my hard drive, with Media Player Classic, and I do notice it out of sync there, but the scene that follows seems synced to me. But watching it on that huge screen, with a nice 5.1 sound system, the dialog ran about 2 or 3 frames earlier than the video up until Alderaan blows up. It wasn't apparent to everyone, even after it was pointed out. But three people did notice it, without me bringing it up. Afterwards everything was in sync again.

Anyway, not a huge issue, but I thought I'd bring it up again in case you wanted to double check it before the DVD-9.

In order to help those who are having problems getting the purist edition, is there any chance of getting it up on fanedit.org via rapidshare? That may be the easiest way for most.

Why newsgroups are so problematic for a lot of people is beyond me. I never used them prior to last year, and thanks to the helpful guides posted here, I figured them out quite easily. Perhaps it's a connection or money issue, but it sure doesn't cost much to use 'em at all. And they're really, REALLY, fast! :)

Are you going to add any blue bullets to the blaster, like in the prequals?
