I am forever in your debt.
At first I looked at the TR47 of Star Wars on my PC and thought sound ain't much different from Anamorphic, and the picture sucks, more dust and scratches, more video fragments, also slight an-aliasing issues.
Then I burnt it and watch it on my big flat screen TV with Dolby Pro logic outputing it in 5.1 and I have to say WHOAAAA! FANTASTIC!
Seems on TV and home theatre equipment it rules. Colors are better, and way, way sharper image than Anamorphic. Plus I think the fact it isn't anamorphic is why the images are so much sharper, as the fact both sets had no choice but to be captured via analogue, the whole 16:9 process of the Anamorphic set makes the affects of the analogue rip stand out more, and consequently look blurry in comparison to TR47s.
So with the news that Empire will be up this weekend is awesome!!!!!!
One small little thing, if the ROTJ could be up the following weekend it would be sweet. I'm not being greedy or anything or impatient but I have till the end of the month before the ISP I work for shuts down our office, and I have had to get all the torrents here, as my damn cable provider only gives me 2.5 GB a month downloads. Don't ask it's a long story, and ADSL availabilty in Australia STILL sucks, leaving some of us to be stuck with awful Cable plans, network is good though.
When I do get the torrents here, I'm continually seeding at 500 KB/sec
One last thing, was the TR47 set captures from the 95 "Faces" LaserDisc set, I can't remember. lol
