I'm sorry to say this project is being put on the down low for awhile. A number of things happened that, once again, have disheartened me from finishing. I've done the same editing maybe 20 times since I was a Senior in high school because projects either get stuck or disappear and the whole thing needs to be started from scratch. It's stupid, I know. On the editing side a project like this should take a few weeks max. I was actually restarting completely about a month ago, using Sony Vegas, but somehow ran into a software issue there too (fancy that). I'm waiting on WG version as a possible source. I'd like to see the quality difference between the 9 gig sources I was using and the 50 gig source he'll be providing.

I tried to find my 77 theatrical preservation, but found out all the files for it somehow got deleted during a reinstall of Windows. I looked at one of the preliminary mixes I made, but there are numerous mixtakes that make it unusable. I have to start from scratch there too. Also lost during the reinstall was every soundtrack provided to me by one of the members of the board (belbucus' stuff).

All this, and college too right? My attention has also had to shift slightly as I've gone into pre-production on a self financed independent film. It's hard to say whether this project might, after nearly three damn years, might be considered vaporware. But I'm going to wait to see WG release and see if I can use that as a starting point and try once again.

To answer your questions though:

1. Yes. And the 2004 source is good for shots with hard-coded subtitles in frame, like the Greedo scene, so I can put in subtitles that better match the theatrical release.

2. Yes the 6 channel source is from the laserdisc 5.1 soundtrack for the 1997 SE. It sounds wonderful.
