Harmy: Ok, I wasn't sure if they got all the multiple captures done and then combined for the best possible level of detail.
Frink: Well, assuming he posted in March on the other site, hopefully he's at least fairly well, even if he hasn't posted here in a long time. :)

I don't see where anyone confirmed that was the same guy.
Yeah, we have no confirmation, but with that exact name on a Star Wars restoration site, the odds seem good. Let's hope it is him. :)

As the Legacy forum has a PM function, why not contact this mythical person if you're really interested in how he is doing.
We want you to be aware that we have no plans—now or in the future—to restore the earlier versions.

If he wanted to share information about his health, I imagine he would have come here and done it already. So I respect his privacy. If he wants to say how he's doing, he knows where this site and thread is. I just hope all is well. =)

Yeah, my comment was more of a general suggestion of what can be done instead of these speculations.

Understood, it's all good. :)

Does anyone from the original X0 team have more information on the following? http://web.archive.org/web/20070808031012/http://www.x0project.com/articles.php?i=00012
I'd really love to see the script(s). Also, archive.org didn't even archive the images! :-(
A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more.
I’m late to the party, but I think this is the best song. Enjoy!

Pretty sure Laserman wrote that article. I don't remember exactly what we were using back then with AviSynth, but it's pretty much the same idea I wrote about in this thread: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Fun-with-Photoshop-Denoising-an-LD-capture/topic/10460/

Awesome, thanks. I'll take a look.

I'm fairly certain that I now know the identity of Laserman. I haven't yet determined if he's still alive.
I don't wish to invade anyone's privacy, so I won't post it here. PM me if you're interested.
Edit: I can tell you that he did work on Babe: Pig in the City as a digital effects artist. Furthermore, a domain registered in his name (not x0project.com) has an X0-specific page that's still available on archive.org.

I can confirm that he told us he did work on that film, among other things previously. The Black Magic system was something he was able to borrow from work for a time.

OK, Zion has verified that it's him.
I'm still trying to figure out if he's still alive.

Update: There is now strong evidence to suggest that Laserman is alive and well as of, at least, 25 March 29 October 21 November of this year. He's active on several different WWW forums.

This is good news, if for no other reason than to know that he is alive and well. While I doubt he's still interested in working on the X0 Project, I will attempt to contact him.

Wait, I'm having deja vu. Wasn't this Babe point brought up recently? Wasn't there some article of some sort he was featured in? Anyway this seems like beating a dead horse to me. He left, and I can only assume with good reasons.

Just to clarify, I'm not trying to contact him in regards to this project.

I suppose that invalidates my point quite a bit then. My apologies.

I don't know much about this project but I've always been curious- would an LD captured on the X0 come close at all to matching the quality of the GOUT?
Take a gander at the last few pages of this thread. The short answer is that the consensus is yes, but the GOUT still wins vs. a single raw capture.

I wonder if Laserman ever found that last hard drive with the remaining ROTJ files. ;)
<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: Sadly, I believe the prequels are beyond repair.
<span class=“Bold”>JediRandy: They’re certainly beyond any repair you’re capable of making.</span></span>
<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: You aren’t one of us.
<span class=“Bold”>Go-Mer-Tonic: I can’t say I find that very disappointing.</span></span>

These must be the droids you are looking for (and so much for almost.archive.org) :
This is an intriguing technique. One must know how the whole optical-to-digital process works (not just the computer's end of it) to create something this clever. But it's only a "pixel-point recovery" application for rebuilding a shot. I don't see it as a general Avisynth-stream solution.
Zion, I found into my laserdisc folder an offline copy of the www.x0project.com website, complete with images and videos!
I ask here your permission to let it publicy available, as there are interesting facts there that many would be happy to know.
And Happy New Year to everyone!
