Here is a subtle fx-correction made in the '04 DVD.

'77

In this shot when three Y-wings fly in a formation, one of the Y-wings suddenly disappear before going out of frame, this was finally corrected in the '04 DVD.

'04

Like all the other rough edges on some of the effects shots in the OOT, it's part of the movie and the time it was made, and I don't mind seeing these imperfections.

That said, if removing garbage matte boxes and correcting minor goofs in model shots like ^^ was ALL that was done to the movies, I could deal with those changes. Like the removal of the snake reflection in Raiders of the Lost Ark on DVD.

If it's sourced from the GOUT then how can you know? The whole question was whether the GOUT itself was missing something.

well, it's the same on my 89 laserdisc.

anyone seen this:

Hi guys, long-time lurker, long-time poster here.  I know everyone is down about this picture being the only one available on the upcoming Blu-ray, but has anyone in the Preservation Forum attempted to recreate the original picture?  An AVCHD of the picture would be preferred.  Thanks in advance.

Fascinating site! you're a bloody good writer too. I'm looking forward to reading through all of it.

So I made a list of the major things to do that I could use some assistance on, or advice and suggestions.

To do list:

-Make SE-original comparison pics for all visual changes

-Media contacts information (any suggestions, leads?)

-Newsletter subscription script

-Need more 35mm scan examples (Belbucus still MIA with his pics, since he hardly comes here any more)

-Add more articles for the links page (suggestions welcome)

-Post original theatrical audio files

This last one here is a bit of a grey area. I don't want to bring down the wrath of LFL, but at the same time I feel this is sort of safe because its only fan-created audio captures that require you to buy an official product in the first place. I wanted to preserve these here so people can hear them, but also as a handy resource for fan preservations, no need for people to dig through newsgroups or ask people to post material. I'm struggling with where to host them though, since the files are huge and are legally in the grey. I was thinking of splitting them across Rapidshare. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about doing this? I still need to collect about half of them anyway, but I'm trying to figure out the logistics of how to do this first.

Hmm, true. Maybe a way to go about it is to host them through a torrent site, so that if people search they can easily find them. Is there a sort of "audio package" already out there that is sort of the equivalent?

well, other than the mono and the 1993 mix, its not about differences in sound effects, its more about mix levels and dynamic range, kind of hard to make comparison clips for some of these. My goal was to preserve the actual mixes themselves in a central, accessible location, or if someone else did I could simply say such and such exists and people could find it themselves.

Gout page up.

This will be my last editorial, I think. Will concentrating on tying up all the remaining loose ends.

The site looks incredible and reads very well indeed.

The ideal companion to the petition (hopefully it will get more signatories off the back of what you have done there).

Great stuff.

Aside from the typos and code errors, VERY well done!

Typos...my third favourite of the Greek Isles...I just can't keep away from the place.

I'll have another look through in the morning and send in a full report if it helps?
