I'd hate to sound pushy or anything, but is there any way we can get a definitive release date?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say no, no there isn't. It's been an inspiring thread though.

All that money people donated to this project and nothing to show for it - I think it's pretty disgusting to be honest...

I wouldn't say disgusting... people do have real lives, after all. Those always take higher priority. I'd say more disappointing.

I totally agree with you Nerfherder: another "Bernie Madoff" like scheme! The dishonesty of those directly involved in the XØ Project will have negative repercussions on current and future S.W. projects: less or no donations, promotion, trust, etc.

Mmmmhhh... After all, each one his responsive of his own ideas and projects. Money shouldn't interfere with such hobbies (hey, that's all for fun after all). If it turns to a hard and expensive work, it remains your own choice... And keep in mind: it's not because you can do it that you must do it!
After, if people are nuts enough to send their money, it's their responsabilities here again.

Unless you donated money to this thing, or are privy to what happens in people's lives outside this board, it seems silly to be drawing comparisons to real crooks.
There are far easier ways to grift people than funding esoteric video restoration projects.

Zion, MeBeJedi, and Laserman: I donated a good amount of money to this proyect with the hope that something great would be created from it. All you guys have given Me and the rest of the Fans here are lame excuses. I am very disappointed in you! Please return my money to my PayPal account asap! I now wish to use that $$ in something real and truthful.
Dude, let it go!

Its understandable that this project will never be "finished" but to not realease the captures knowing that the project is completely dead is just stupid and dishonest. Why should just a select few be privy to the ONLY XO captures ever to exist? A big bird to you sir!
But thanks to Dark_Jedi's OT GOUT V3 we will have what we deserved all along.
I love everybody. Lets all smoke some reefer and chill. Hug and kisses for everybody.

The XØ Team doesn't really exist anymore and hasn't for some time. No one has heard from Laserman in I don't know how many years. (The guy had cancer, use your imagination.)
The money we received very early on was used for shipping expenses, a hard drive or two and a monitor calibration device. The rest was spent on hosting fees for the x0project.com site (which no longer exists) and then a huge batch of t-shirts and hats just before we lost contact with Laserman for good and everything went to crap.
That's where the money is, guys. In a $500 box full of X0 merchandise nobody will ever want because the project is never going to be completed. At least not until some sort of black magic-like software comes available that will allow us to combine the LD captures together (XØ and Japanese DefCol) that I spent hours pouring over, manually IVTCing, matching up frame for frame, and noting where any and all frame differences occured.
I have no idea how far MeBe ever got on cleaning up the footage, so you'll have to ask him about that.
I do have a couple of things I can share though. One would be a beta video of the kick-ass DVD menu I created. The other would be the two shots Laserman was able to output from the black magic workstation. The first is the "Look sir, droids!" shot, and the other is the panning shot of Luke's speeder as it enters Mos Eisley. Both were sent to me as targa image sequences, so I'll have to make them into uncompressed avi's and try to post them. I know where the first one is on my old drive, but the second one might take a little more work to locate.
Aside from that, the original X0 captures are still in existance save for one side of one of the ROTJ LDs, which I don't know that we ever got from Laserman (it was missing when he originally sent us the discs). Mebe may have gotten it from him but I don't know for sure.

Zion, thanks for finally speaking up about this and being transparent. A few years overdue, I don't know why so long but better late than never.
I think everyone everywhere would benefit from the two completed Black Magic shots being put together and released. I know a lot of people, myself included, have been wanting to simply see them. Obviously the project is dead, but pegging off two less OOT shots to have to use the GOUT for is always a plus to people out there, and will at least mean this was not completely in vain.

I already posted about the money stuff and Laserman in this thread a year or two ago. I guess nobody remembers.
We've kind of been asking each other the last couple years what we should do, and really since nothing has happened I think the best thing to do might just to release what we have. I'll try to get the black magic shots up in the next couple of days. My personal site is down at the moment though so I'll have to use MegaUpload or something.
