Info & Help: looking for... Sebastian Shaw ghost (HD-CLIP available)/ Jabba: Best source for the 1997 SE?

I’m trying to recreate the original ghost-scene from ROTJ. I have a german DVD-5 version of the SE trilogy (german opening crawls), which I thought was a rip from dTV, but, due to its quality, I’m beginning to think that it’s more likely to be an anamorphic LD conversion.

I’m also looking for the SE Jabba. Is there a source that has no subtitles? I know, Jabba looks even crappier in the SE than the 2004 version, but I think the SEs need to be preserved a well.

EDIT: Here are the links to the clips…

If you have the G'KAR version, which is likely, then it is a dTV rip and it's generally considered to be the best one for Jedi 97SE (sadly, because it is quite bad quality.)

BTW, I was also looking for the 97SE Jabba without subs and couldn't find it. It think it's quite possible that the only version that has that might be some LD rip.

@ Harmy: I'll look up the G'Kar Version, but I assume it's the same version I have...

@ Lee: I meant ANH...

Ah, I see. The G'kar version is the version I have. German crawl etc (I watched it another time, and I'm sure it's not a LD-rip).

It's not good, due to its compression, but it seems to be the best source out there. Too bad.

Does anyone know, where I can get my hands on the flunk-version?

There was only ever a Ep IV release from Flunk I think.

I don't have access to usenet. And I don't know anybody who has.

If there's an upload on RS or anything similar, that would be cool...

So, three days of avisynthing, virtualdubbing and aftereffecting later...

I took Wookiegroomer's HD-Version, and G'Kar's SE DVD, decapitated Hayden, and put Sebastian Shaw's head, where it belongs.

Here's the clip (without sound), all three (two in the GOUT) scenes edited together:

Dammit, right after I uploded the clip I saw, that you can see the edge of the cropped SE image right above Shaw's head. So it's back to work then...

New Links with the corrected version:

youtube: Click (bad quality, not corrected, since you can't see it anyway...)
RS: Click (x264, 8000kbps)

Please, tell me what you think, what I could do better. And feel free to use it in your edits, if you like it (but a thank you would be nice).

The result looks pretty good, TK-949. It should come handy in the future. It seems much higher quality than the plain old G'kar or GOUT.

I could do a lagarith encoded upload from the original, if anybody wants me to.

Hey TK-949, Harmy just made an HD reconstruction of the Jabba scene if you're interested. It's on Youtube here. It has no subtitles so hopefully you like it.
