I am quite happy with everything the way it is personally (but that's me), anymore work asked of dj is stretching it a bit, given the amount of time he has spent trying to do just the things he planned to do..

I think if people want the option for the other crawl, then they should make it themselves - seeing as the people who are asking know how to do it anyway.

Just curious, Doesn't the GOUT have the original crawl? and if so what is it you guys want?

I was gonna ask which crawl is used on the GOUT. I figured it had the EPISODE IV on it. I'd prefer this to have it actually. But it's not a deal breaker. I'd really like the option to switch, but I totally understand if D_J doesn't want to mess with it. Though, if he doesn't, one of you who know how to should. Team work makes the ...thing work.

EPISODE IV was not on there back when it first came out was it? I thought that was added later, and if so why would people want that?

No, it wasn't there originally. I'd like to have it 'cause it links the films together as a series (not that they aren't without it) and I like the continuity. But I totally see why some, if not most, would want the original version.

Well at least to me, since this is suppose to be as close to theatrical as possible for these, I really don't want it there since it originally wasn't, so people that do want it, will just have to do it themselves.

Yeah that makes sense. Even though I prefer the other version, I'd say that's the best idea.

Plus I don't have any idea how to do it even if I wanted to, wish I did, but I don't, I would need a how to guide for DVD Lab Pro.

Yeah, the GOUT uses the 1977, pre-Episode IV crawl.  It's the only home video version that does.

For the purposes of this project, I'd absolutely leave it that way.  A selectable crawl would be nice, I suppose, but as DJ said, this is meant to be the best representation of the 1977 theatrical cut as can be had, and using the 1981 crawl would undermine that, in my opinion.

I'd still like to have it for myself, so again, if anyone knows where to find Moth3r's PAL LD preservation, PM me.

ChainsawAsh, it have recently been posted on usenet.

We want you to be aware that we have no plans—now or in the future—to restore the earlier versions. 

Sincerely, Lynne Hale publicity@lucasfilm.com

I have just about everything ever released, which Moth3r set would this be, 3 3 DVD PAL set he did a while back?

Author
Time

I don't have usenet access, unfortunately.

And yeah, it's the PAL DVD set he did, transferred from the PAL LDs.  I just want the first one, for the opening crawl, really.

I have it and I already ripped it, and converted it to NTSC and will upload the lossless avi for you guys.

You know my care for Details... But WTF with this crawl seriously ??! The main reason why I see people would want something else is to me that they want to be sure they have every version possible to be able to tell they have the "best"... While it doesn't improve the quality...

Or do they want to propose something just to... propose something ? In a way they could have a role or a word to say? Actually that's something great when people propose good ideas to improve a project... But not after 40 pages of the thread when the carrotts are all rootten (and I know what I'm talking about!). Push the red button D_J, just don't pay attention.

And beware the new D_J's avatar says it: he's angry !

 

PS: If you could add a few stars behind the crawl though...

PPS: Thank you all again for the kind comments btw.

Hehe, sorry if I sounded tought.

No, actually I was more supporting D_J's huge effort restoring and making available those films in - as far as I understand - perhaps the best shape you'll find.

Just observing this irony that it is at the very end of the project that "great ideas" show up.

 

I like to rant a bit in such cases, don't take it bad, I like to put a few sarcasms when needed. And notice that I care only that D_J is making great things with this, meaning I'm more interested in his effort than to see the result, hence my modest participation to his set.

I hope the best for him, and I hope there will be as much feedbacks for his projects than there have been people watching his thread ! You don't know how much it is rewarding (or frustrating, depending on people's choices to... "share"... Something, or not). ;)

Not willing to Frink around but D_J, I remember you wished someone could find a nice avatar for you, and as I can see there's an emergency here...

 

What about ?

I'm looking forward to this as well.

And what awesome covers to match this great project :)

I just have one question: Will there only be NTSC versions or will there be PAL as well?

So, should I just change the extension to .rar, then?  I'm on a Mac, so .exe is useless to me.

damn I am not sure, and to be honest I don't know why winrar made the first part an exe file, you could try, if it doesn't work let me know, but whe I click the exe file in unrars fine.
