I'm posting a new clip of about 4 and a half minutes of the Battle of Yavin.  My main concern is that the constant switching between Belbucus' restored mono mix and a mono fold-down of Ady's Revisited 5.1 will be too jarring, but since I'm only watching it with laptop speakers, I really can't tell.

Here it is (as of now, it's still processing, though): Battle of Yavin In Progress

I'd like you guys to listen to it using the best audio equipment you can find.  Please, please give me an honest opinion, and if possible suggestions for how I can improve the quality of the 5.1/mono mix.

I tried to hide the transitions as best I could underneath laser fire and explosions, and by using audio dissolves.  I get the feeling that it works sometimes, but not all the time ...

This project is very near completion - the only things I have left to do:

- Finalize the audio mix
- Create the new crawl
- Create the new end credits
- Figure out how to do the stormtrooper search scene ("Look, sir! Droids!") without keeping the 2 SE shots that I hate so much
- Get a copy of the 2004 DVD, rip the Greedo/Han scene, color correct it, and add subtitles based on the 1977 theatrical positioning/font

And that's it.

Just out of curiousity, why create a new crawl when you could just use the crawl from the Unaltered DVD version of Star Wars?
