Ah, so that's what it finally comes down to - simple personal attacks. Now, I'm a glory hog, eh? Anyone else here get that impression?
"the fact that there is documented AND anecdotal proof that pre-dvd transfers were routinely overbright as a standard practice should make you stop and think."
Too bad it proves nothing in this particular case. You know what would prove something? A simple side-by-side comparison of the R1 transfer and another region. You've yet to deliver, and I wonder why.
"But instead, you're busy trying to place yourself on some sort of pedestal because you're sticking it to Lucas"
LOL. Who came into this thread "on a pedestal"?
"and playing know-it-all about the color scheme of a set of movies you probably don't even really remember seeing theatrically."
Ironic. I seem to recall simply comparing the color scheme between the DVDs and the LDs. And as for not remembering the theatrical release, where did that come from? More baseless personal attacks. Pitty.
"Meaning your point of reference were a series of overbright laserdisc transfers on TV sets you didn't even think to calibrate correctly until just recently."
Once again, a lack of knowledge about me makes your statement look ridiculous. My TV is calibrated with the AVIA DVD. My laserdisc is hooked up to my computer, not my home theater system. Like I said, I've only recently acquired the VE LD.
"And you're trying to tell the rest of the people on this site that YOUR opinion on what the colors are supposed to look like is to be trusted?"
See above.
"YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT HALF THE TIME, man. You have a working ignorance of how DVD's are made, and you can't even correctly figure out how to make your own."
Interesting. Apparently you believe I've shown myself to be a paragon of ignorance and stupidity regarding DVDs. Anyone else here get that impression? I was under the impression that many people were looking forward to my version, but I could be wrong.
BTW, I fail to see where you've established your credentials as someone fit to comment on these DVDs.
"Get back to work."
You too. Still waiting for those comparison pics that you apparently based your opinion on. Are they ready yet?
Meanwhile, I'll happily continue making the best LD-to-DVD versions I can, and you go on trashing people who have deliberately come to these boards because they don't like what Lucas has been doing lately. Good luck changing minds around here.. ROTFLMAO!
