are you guys aware of the other star wars laserdiscs out there, the miscellaneous french german and spanish releases?

There is the 1993 Krieg der sterne trilogie silver screen collection, star wars, empire and jedi released individually and not as a set as i'm aware.

the french 1994 laserdisc letterbox pre-faces and pre- special edition I think it comes with from star wars to jedi.

( i have accuired this release but won't get it in the mail for a little while)

I think it's identical to the u.s. special letterbox set with hologram cover, but Funny enough in the u.s. it was not released on laserdisc. Maybe because the source material was released already as single double laserdisc releases, i.e. from the famous missframed japan releases.

The spain release is supposed to be of dubious quality but was'nt there something that set it apart from the rest like narration or something?

One thing I'm still planning on is checking out a pre-THX PAL widescreen version. Curious how it looks. It's a good idea to transfer all the PAL releases aswell, but the problem is that LD's themselves will be pretty much useless. I think replacing all English dialogue with French, German or Spanish is worse than any of the changes Lucas made! So you'd have to put another soundtrack under them at least. And they're much harder to come by than the NTSC releases.

That's no moon. It's a LaserDisc.

It's been a long road, getting from there to here.


Seven weeks to be exact and "Yes" I do know that the above line is Star Trek not Wars................

I got the 4 new releases from Dark Jedi today and will be giving them a good look at over the next few days.

From what I have seen so far, I am very happy with the results and it proves that the preservation that has been done was worthy of doing, which is a good job really as some of my money has gone towards making some of this happen.

A big thanks to Dark Jedi and to all those who have posted here too.

A couple of sets will be going out as already planned and if there is more interest, I will send out another set to start a PiF chain going

Along the same lines as what we have been doing here, the 1982 Star Wars NTSC VHS Rental tape has been captured and is currently going up on alt.binaries.starwars

There is a sample vob for those who are unsure what the quality is like.

Finally something is being posted Keep 'em coming! Do you have some more specs, such as, who captured it and how?

EDIT: Very good quality, looks just as if the tape was new.

Well, I just finished my 3rd OT transfer but this is the first that I will be uploading or sharing, the capture may not be the greatest but the LD was not all that hot to start with (I think it looks better then my tapes ), but I really feel that this transfer really is a fair representation of the SPECIAL WIDESCREEN EDITION Laserdiscs in both menu and cover layout, At the time I started it (about a month or two ago), this set was not yet preserved. I will be uploading these soon and I'm always down for a trade or whatever so drop me an email if interested

Rikter you got PM,and i have also started re-capturing the Japanese Special Collection(I have my own set now,dont need sega's,he probably wouldnt lend them out again LOL)now with the NEW equipment i have(pioneer cld-79 elite)and alot of new software and help from our own Moth3r(via email,he has been tremendous help so far,thank you Moth3r)i want to take the captured video,and crop out the black bars,where the Jap text is,then re-center it,and encode and maybe mild filter,hell if i can figure out this anamorphic thing i would rather do that,seeing as how i have a widescreen TV myself,but that might be wayyyyy out of my league,i am hopefull i can do this,i really like the looks of the video from this way better player and the CCE encode template i got really makes a difference,ALOT better than TMPGEnc Plus.
So if any one has a guide on any of the above i would love links or anything helpfull,i am going to be devoting ALOT more time than i used to to these projects,plus i have learned alot more from alot of very helpful peeps here,not much help at doom9 though all they reply is "search"
the title of this would be:
Star Wars Japanese Special Collection Trilogy : Jap-Less Edition
i also want to give credit to Boba Feta,because he is actually the first one to bring this idea up to me
i may also re-do some of my other releases,i done know
sorry for the rambling

Apologies for bumping such an old thread, but I figured this is as good a place as any to put out this request.

I'm looking for the PCM stereo audio from the following laserdiscs:

The Empire Strikes Back
- 1985 Pan and Scan CAV, CX Stereo, 3 discs, Standard Play (1980 theatrical stereo mix?)
- 1989 Widescreen CLV, CX Stereo, 2 discs, Extended Play (1985 stereo remix?)

Return of the Jedi
- 1986 Pan and Scan CLV, CX Stereo, 2 disc, Extended Play (I'd assume this is either the 1983 theatrical stereo, or the 1985 remix if ROTJ was, in fact, ever remixed in 1985)

Basically I'm looking for all the different audio mixes I can find.  I have:

Star Wars
- 1977 Theatrical Mono
- 1977 Theatrical Stereo
- 1985 Stereo Remix
- 1993 Stereo Remix (GOUT rip)

The Empire Strikes Back
- 1993 Stereo Remix (GOUT rip)

Return of the Jedi
- 1993 Stereo Remix (GOUT rip)

I know Empire had 1980, 1985, and 1993 mixes, but I haven't been able to find any but the 1993 mix.  I also don't know what the differences are between the 1980 and 1985 mixes.

I have no idea if Jedi was ever re-mixed - if it was, my assumption would be that it was re-mixed in 1993, but not 1985, which would mean there's a 1983 theatrical mix and a 1993 stereo remix.  However, it's also possible it was never remixed and the 1993 stereo remix is actually identical to the 1983 stereo mix.

Basically, I'm trying to make a custom DVD set with as many of the original sound mixes as I possibly can, and I'm not all that knowledgeable about the mixes for ESB and ROTJ.  If anyone can help me out, that would be fantastic - just shoot me a PM.  Thanks in advance!

I had the dark jedi 4 disc special widescreen set, but they are now rotters.  Does anyone still have these in non rotted copies ?

In fact i now have to collect the other dark jedi discs as well because they were all on bulkpag media.  At the moment all i really want is the disc with the 1985 audio for star wars.  It is from a 1989 laserdisc.

The 1985 audio - along with all other audio tracks (1977 mono/stereo, Hairy_hen's 1977 six-track recreation, 1980 stereo, 1983 stereo, and all six 1985 and 1993 stereo mixes) - will be available on Dark_Jedi's GOUT V3 whenever it's finally released.

dark jedi 4 disc special widescreen set

I have 3/4 preserved in my cupboard, because that's all that segaflip posted.
They were the very last things he posted before basically disappearing from these boards. segaflip never posted the ROTJ SWE, so I couldn't repost that one (unless you wanted Rikter's BLAK0047-BLAK0050).

If all you want is '85 audio, and cannot wait for the new version, then just grab Dark-Sega (JSC) from a.b.starwars -- it's already there now, and presumed to contain the same soundtrack.

But wait . . . aren't you one of those say-no-to-usenet people?

However, in practice you must take into account the “fuckwit factor”. Just talk to Darth Mallwalker…

You would not mind posting star wars SWE DJ incredible shrinking ratio ?

I can learn and purchase a usenet account, but do prefer blanks and postage.

 

Tested my disc yesterday for star wars, tried doing so at a slower speed still has two read errors.  Like most of the rotters the end of star wars is ruined during the trench battle.

I would assume since i have so far tested about 4 of the discs Russ sent me in late 05, or early 06 on bulpaq media generation 2 are all rotters.  Should i bother testing all my discs, i pretty much have come to the consensus that all my bulpaq discs are gone.

I have Rikters set but for some reason star wars played back at 18 fps on my pc, and has mpeg audio not ac3 so no dolby decode.  His also is worse quality than DJ.

That bullpaq media doesn't sound very reliable really...or do they just not hold up to age?
