Nah, I doubt it... the bottom container has the nub, the disc sits on that. The inside of the lid has the foam pad to hold the disc on the nub. Here's a translation of the shop description:
"The nub in the bottom part fixates the CD contact-free (so without it touching the bottom). The foam pad in the lid holds the CD safely."
Very nice looking labels Laserschwert!
captainsolo, your college screenings of Puggo Grande makes me very happy. Damn, that is so cool! :)
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

That is a cool idea for the disc case. It is a great representation of a movie tin. And the stickers are great!

I ran Puggo's SW at least 10 different times for the club I ran in college. Blew people away every time. And this was after I had configured the screening room with all the integrated amplifiers....made mono sound incredible.
That is really cool, and I can totally believe it went over well, some people are actually kind of starved for some authentic pre-digital 70s entertainment if given an opportunity. (This thing is awesome Puggo, by the way)
Cannot wait to screen Puggo Strikes Back, and Return of the Puggo.
Hopefully the print sources don't have the same problems as star wars.
Some scenes on that looked overly dark and hard to see, not sure if this was because of fading. Maybe Puggo knows, don't have any screen caps handy.
This was on the first reel.

Has anyone seen this Ebay listing (http://www.ebay.com/itm/200641984289?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:VRI&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2661)?
It appears to be a nice print, but it might be fullscreen. Were fullscreen 16mm prints made as well?
Yes - 16mm prints can either be 'scope' or 'flat' - the latter having a cropped full-frame image.

*shudder*
Scope requires a special lens to project. Most inexpensive projects aren't equipped. Same for school projectors. So full frame movies were more user-friendly.

In the listing it says it is a flat print. I guess this means it is full frame? I emailed the guy and asked if it was anamorphic or fullscreen and he replied that it is flat.
Luke threw twice…maybe.
I googled it... a "flat" print means that it is NON-anamorphic.
Bummer.

It would have nice colors. (It's a post '81 version.) A bit pricey for an incomplete print though.
Where were you in '77?
yeah over a 1,000 bucks for something that is basically pan and scan is too high for me and most others. I think it has been listed a few times now with no buyer. I know it has for sure been listed twice now.
Luke threw twice…maybe.
It has also been listed on the Urbanski 16mm forum. No takers there, either.

Amazingly, somebody bought it.

Wow, I am surprised. I don't think I could ever buy a pan/scan film for that kind of dough unless that was the original aspect ratio.

The original aspect ratio of a film can't ever be "pan/scan", because the term doesn't describe an aspect ratio. Instead - as the name suggests - it's the process of panning (and scanning) around in a frame of a wider aspect ratio, to keep an "optimal" framing in a frame with a narrower aspect ratio.
Technically the opposite (for example panning up/down in a 4:3 image, to keep a 16:9 ratio) would be pan/scan as well, as would any "smaller framing" panning around in a "larger frame". Usually though it's the thing above :D
Sorry for wiseassing ;)
Hey Puggo, if an "adapted scope" print ever popped up, would that be usuable? It's essentially a letterboxed image that doesn't require the anamorphic lens to project.
Here's an example.
Where were you in '77?
Sure, I imagine it would have both advantages and disadvantages.

I think it would resemble an early LD/DVD letterbox image instead of the full anamorphic scope 2.35:1 stretch. Not bad though.

It's still film, so there ought to be more information there than an analog video master has?

What’s the internal temperature of a TaunTaun? Luke warm.
This sounds like an awesome project and the screenshots look great. Can someone PM me download links.
Thanks!
I love this. THANK YOU.
May the midichlorians be with you.
** never mind, thanks **
