Harmy,

Thank you! After fighting with my computer for a whole day, I was finally able to apply your ROTJ audio fix, and I spent about 30 minutes checking out the AVCHD. From what I've seen, outstanding! This will be THE version of the movie I watch. Thanks for doing this and for saving me the torture of Jedi Rocks!

I'll try to find time to watch the whole thing in the next week or so. But one thing I did notice: Why did you use yellow subtitles instead of white?

And did you ever make the SD version of this that you mentioned earlier in this thread? I'd love a NTSC DVD for my SD TVs. (or can I convert the AVCHD myself?)

I haven't downloaded ANH or ESB yet, since I'm not sure if they're despecialized enough for me. For ESB, it looks like you reverted back to the SE a few times (like during Lando's evacuation announcement) instead of using Adywan's Theatrical Reconstruction for those bits. I understand your feelings on the matter, and less than stellar video for those shots. But I ask you to reconsider if you decide to do 3.0 of Empire. For me, a little bit of blur is preferable to the SE.

Same thing with ANH. The CGI is too distracting for me, and I'd prefer to see more GOUT footage used. And when you decided to do 2.0, I think you should have left in some of Adywan's Revisited footage (like the imperial getting shot in the chest, the Mos Eisley stormtrooper checkpoint, etc).

Would you consider making a "test AVCHD" that has some of the more horrendous GOUT footage upscaled and integrated into the HD footage? Like the whole Mos Eisley part up until the cantina? Or the Bespin footage restored from Adywan's reconstruction? If you're open to the possibility of further changes, this test disc would be a great way for us to see how bad it would really look and if it was something that a lot of people wanted. Like I said, I'd prefer some blur now and then over the CGI of the SE, which really just takes me out of the movies.

Thanks for all your efforts!
