I just just finished watching this. Even with its various defects I loved it. I can't wait to see a transfer of Empire. If you ever redo this transfer, could you please include Hairy Hen's mix as an option? That alone would make it my favorite copy of Star Wars.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. :) When I return to it I will probably use his improved 70mm reconstruction. Like russ15 said, the video of the current one is synced up frame by frame with the NTSC GOUT, so it's easy to replace the audio with your favorite mix that has been synced to it, I will probably do the same with my 2nd version, that way I don't need to sacrifice precious video bitrate. If you don't know how you demux and remux the DVD with your audio of choice, ask me and I'll describe it for you. It's a very fast and easy procedure.

My Empire SWE LD is actually already captured with all files saved on a external HD. I'm not sure yet how I will treat it on that one as it lacks many frames at every reel change, more than 100 frames compared to the GOUT transfer.
