I discovered that I had to get rid of these files to get HD-space in order to continue with THX, so this one are up on MySpleen now, look for "STAR WARS (Technidisc)".

As already seen in my samples it is pretty rough, the amount of dirt doesn't really bother me and I wanted this to be as unfiltered as possible anyway, but I wanted to at least apply anti-aliasing but doing so completely killed the starfields unfortunately, so I opted to go unfiltered. The other thing I don't like is the dotcrawl and rainbowing, (most of the rainbowing seems to have been introduced in the telecine stage) But again, I opted to go unfiltered except on the opening crawl and end titles as such filtering is rarely good enough to not hurting other parts of the image, motion blur, color smear and erasing fine detail. Maybe a better capture would've helped these things.

I didn't touch the colors by your requests, there is a yellow tint and the colors/contrast is a little wonky in a few scenes and on some composites/effects, but other than that I think it's pretty damn nice overall in its colors. Out of the three different widescreen transfers that was made of this film on NTSC Laserdisc, this is my preferred one.

Just the film presented on a dual layered DVD, no menus. It have hardcoded subs for Greedo and I synced the film frame wise to GOUT, (which means that I took out one frame which was absent on the GOUT) so that you easily can mux in your favorite mix if you would like to, this one have the 1985 home video digital remix with the added Threepio "tractor-beam line" which was first heard in the original Mono mix. I actually prefer the regular Stereo over this one, but I went with this one as this was the mix presented on this disc.

Enjoy.
