I think it wasn't addressed because (speaking for myself here) it seems kinda pointless. What exactly do you even mean? So you have the LD set. Great. If you want a DVD backup, there are many available - the GOUT and the myriad OOT bootlegs. Since I'm sure your LD player isn't an X0, many of these sets (and definitely the GOUT) will look better in comparison anyway.

Do you mean that you want to ask if you could get your set transferred with the X0 player? My bet is no - the X0 team borrowed someone else's X0 if I'm not mistaken, and no longer have access to it. Besides, why would your set be any different than the set(s) the X0 team was using? Wouldn't it be easier to just wait for the X0 to get released? That would CERTAINLY look better than your set.

The raw X0 caps looked better than any LD cap I've ever seen. So its not pointless. Maybe its pointless to you, but not to the rest of us. Even a raw X0 cap would be the ultimate in persevering our LD copies.

First, I'd like to say that I think I misinterpreted his post. I thought he was asking if he could send HIS set out to be transferred, but after reading it again I think I was just half-asleep.

Second, I agree - I don't think, and have never thought, the X0 project to be pointless. I'm the one who's been adamantly against the locking of this topic, for Christ's sake. If I thought it was pointless, I'd be all for locking the thread!

What I was saying was that it would be pointless for him to have his set transferred with an X0 player if the X0 project eventually does get released, since the X0 project basically already did that and more. My point was, why bother transferring a set that's already been transferred with the X0? And if you just wanted a copy to watch in place of the LD set that's of equal or greater quality, there are such sets available, therefore I felt his request to be pointless.

Again, afer rereading it I think I misinterpreted his request - it seems that he just wants the raw captures released, which I wholeheartedly support. In that regard, it seems that MeBe is considering that very thing anyway.

In other words, my post was a misunderstanding, I don't think the X0 is pointless by any means, and I apologize if my post made it seem like I felt that way. If there's one thing I've been looking forward to for the past 3 and a half years, it's been this project. The day the X0 project captures are restored and released is the day I'll finally be 100% happy as a "Star Wars" fan - I'll have a pristine theatrical preservation and Adywan's Revisited edits side-by-side. What more could I want?
