zombie84: I had assumed that once hairy_hen finishes up his work on the Star Wars trilogy 70mm stereo and 5.1 soundtracks that all the various soundtracks will be readily available at that point in the highest possible quality (lossless PCM capture from laserdisk, etc.) for download. And that those then can be used if someone wants to use dark_jedi's restored/corrected video (which is looking great :) ) and combine that with just one or two high bit-rate versions of the soundtracks.

dark_jedi: Technical question. It's my understanding that while the 1993 Definitive Collection laserdisk set's colors generally look great and are pretty accurate to the original unaltered Star Wars trilogy colors (and the 2006 DVD set comes from the DC), there is a bit of a pinkish tint in at least some scenes that was not there when Star Wars was shown in theaters. 1: Is that correct (the pinkish tint problem exists in the DC and GOUT)? 2: Are you color-correcting that pinkish tint, or is this new v3 of your restored video focusing on optimum grain reduction (while minimizing negative side-effects, like loss of detail) and anti-aliasing?

Also, will you be including hairy_hen's 70mm stereo and 5.1 soundtracks for the whole trilogy (not sure if The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi are ready yet)?

Thanks for any info. :)
