I ofcourse still have the raw X9 captures of the JSC. I'm happy to somehow give them to someone who can finish the project.

Are those files 20+ GB's each, uncropped and non deinterlaced? is this the RAW you are saying? because I am SURE you are well aware of the whole manual process of IVTC'ing this video and all the shit frames thrown in throughout, this to me is the hardest about this set, each film has some of these shit frames that need to be replaced.

Now you do realize that there are going to be a few here that are going to say, "I want", "I want", I could probably already guess who they will be, but read what Arnie.d said, "who can FINISH the project".

 It's about 50 GB for each movie, uncropped, interlaced. I used huffyuv for lossless compression. Yes, manual IVTC is a lot of work (I only did this for Star Wars though). The constant changing of the interlace pattern throughout the movie is really shitty. When I was working on this I IVTCed the movie 5 times in virtualdub (since there are 5 possible settings) and I then reconstructed the movie by copying and pasting the correctly IVTCed parts.

If I will ever capture an LD again it will be the French Coffret Trilogie because it's PAL so no need for IVTC :)

For years now, I'm only looking at frames of Star Wars. It would be so nice to just watch the movie instead of searching for artifacts or checking brightness, colors, sharpness, haloing, ringing, grain, noise, rainbowing, audio sync, etc. Making a transfer really spoils the movie sometimes. I can barely watch any movie anymore without checking the quality.
