So....that'll be 'Star Wars:Revisited - Revisited' then? An HD version, if possible, would be mind-blowing! But we won't hold you to it. It'll be a '3D conversion' next.... ;)

Wouldn't that be Battlestar Galactica rather than Star Wars?
*Sigh*
Thing is, to Mr. Joe Pubilc, I dont get the full HD, brand.
If my current set-up thats cost me a measly couple of grand, upscales a DVD9 and im happy with it, that doesnt outshine the lastest benchmark 'full HD' transfer in any major groundbreaking way, i ask, why now?
There has not been anywhere near the impact of showing any of my friends a full HD movie, compaired to showing them YOUR Star Wars:Revisited (and most of them dont really 'get' Star Wars, but we all love movies). So, for me, why alter a formula you have already mastered? And, expecially if it makes some things youve mastered difficult, then why?
Dont for one second see DVD as old technology (as then the industry that gave us DRM has already won, and would we even been discussing this?), until im inevitably proved wrong (and i even buy most of their crap).
You still have HD encodes tackle it again when (A):storage is cheeper than it is now. (B):you have pushed your bounderies beyond your limitations. (3):Blu-Ray re-writable media maybe readily accessible. And, (IV):ultimatly, when Lucas film out-do you with their eventual, long way off, enough adopters of HD technology, release of their SE Blu-Ray original trilogy, that most of us will buy, but never really love, like what YOU can do now, why not out-do them using their HD source after they release it too all us suckers, and show them up a second time?
Adywan - Darth Solo makes a lot of good points to consider there.
Well, with most of the original master prints from Universal completely destroyed, I don't see them converting most of their films to anything past DVD scale for a bit.
and i was sooo looking forward to seeing Jurassic Park in its full glory :(
Is it not sad that in this time, we are more surprised by acts of love than acts of hate?

Seems to be going around.
It i'll just be ignored..
Well, the fires destroyed the vaults at Universal in Hollywood. The origianlly reported that they were masters, then the PR guy said it was just copies... but I know people who work for the company and they told me that it was really the masters, but they said it was the copies to keep their stock from tumbling. They literally lost everything. All they have are copies of the films now... dating all the way back to I Love Lucy up to modern films like Fast and the Furious...
BUt anywho... back on topic

ROTFALOL. Josh was quicker than me editing my posts (for once!).
Hang on. Was that for me again?? Im getting paronoid now (I cant have 2 stirkes)!
Is that you in that pic there Josh? Is it there, urm, yeah, Josh, with the glasses? No, no way. It is, isnt it! Doing the faceplam! And Josh needs a shave with an idustrial blender, and a haircut. It tiz! Im right aint I! Yeeesss!!!
And to Imperial Fighter, thanks. As usual i go and mess up a serious post, from the heart, by pi**ing about again, as im torn between good and evil at the moment (im hoping its a phase or somthin) :-)
Erm, oh, nice to see Carrie without blue teeth there Ady to take it back to topic :-)

Maybe you could steal a Supercomputer for the day.
it's not processer speed, (although it helps), its raw disk space, which fortunately is much cheaper nowadays..
take your time adywan, no ones going anywhere, and whats the rush?
if people realize they have to be willing to wait, the results are definitely worth it..
and future proof.....this will last awhile...
wookiegroomers 1080p versions are getting a lot of mileage out of them, and i think
people are just starting to catch up on the High definition video trend anyways..
later

HA HA HA, that is not me, NO, that is not me! Maybe I should stop with the facepalms and move to something else (Be afraid) Well Tomarrow, I will start Thinking of suggestions, And Ady I would lend you my brain for the Extra power, It's runnin on 40 TB and some coffee!
Good Luck tho, Away I Go!

*Chuckle*
Calm down dude! I just think of you, as well......urm, someone who may wear a powder blue cardigan, perhaps. No?
Everybody, that picture above is Josh from now on. You look like you can take 40TB and coffee easily, and no end off stuff that no one can ever think of, your just making it look like your brain hurts in that picture.
Just pulling your tail there buddy.....
Ady, even 720p would take up a lot less space, and would look awesome. ANHR looks amazing on a PS3, or upconverting DVD player. ESBR in 720p would look beautiful! Oh and don't let the pressure to live up to ANHR get to you. What makes that edit so good is simply you making it the way you always wanted it to be. Do the same with Empire, make sure it's the way envisioned it, and move on. Who cares about anyone else? Remember these edits are first and foremost for your enjoyment, anything after that is a bonus. 1080P looks great, but is it really worth the gigantic addition of headaches and pain that it will cause? Anyway, keep up the good work, and that Josh dude is a funny looking guy! lol!
Alright, ImperialFighter and I are in our final stages here, and hopefully IF can approve the final tweaks and we can get this posted this afternoon (tonight for those in the UK). We were still pondering ideas on how best to post this. I could post them all on here in 4 or 5 parts, then ImperialFighter would comment on them and you'd have to flip back and forth if they were separated. Or we could take over GoodMusician's Suggestion thread for a bit and just have my pictures and ImperialFighter's commentary over there, with the discussion continuing over here. Whatever is best for Ady, of course.

why not start a new thread, and put a link on the terminal?
Ady didn't want to take over the forums with yet ANOTHER Revisited thread, so we're trying to intregrate them into the ones we already have.

makes sense. one thread to rule them all...
personally id prefer to see it on the terminal, it would most likely get buried in this thread and lost within a few days.:P
I'm not sure I understand what you mean... what exactly are you posting?
Videos? Written edits?

I have 63 screenshots of varying sizes of particular sequences from the film. Then ImperialFighter, to save space, will just comment saying "Shot 7 is where blah blah blah" so if they get separated it could be very confusing.
