I do hope csd79 announcement won't discourage msycamore sharing his version 2.
And I hope csd79 version beats both!
Yeah, that's the spirit! :) And no, this won't discourage me sharing the improved one I did. It will perhaps even encourage me to finally making that color corrected version I also had my plans on, if only to make it different from csd79's upcoming upload.
Like Mallwalker indicated, nothing bad comes out of several preservations of the same LD. It only benefits the members here. And my corrected upload has also seen quite a lot of delays. I believe Antcufaalb have also stated he was going to do his discs in the past. The more the merrier.
I also had hopes to get my copy captured by Althor last year but the damn disc never arrived. With my luck I lost both my copy of this LD and a bunch of DVD's for the THX project last year. I'm done with the damn postal service. Fortunately I received another copy of the SWE technidisc around that time, so I still own one.

Feallan: Actually, Msycamore's capture is the very reason I'm doing this. When it was released it was the first time that the look of SW on video really resonated with me, so I owe him. But I knew it could be better if captured with color calibration in mind etc. I've never even saw a real-life LD player before I bought one this year to do this. So he'll get credit when I'm releasing this capture. I'm also looking forward for his v2.technidisc
Well, you know what I think about that version I uploaded, now that you own the disc yourself I think you may easily understand how much better it can look when seen properly calibrated. Still, I'm glad to know it made you embark on your own preservation. Looking forward to see your results. A better version needs to be out there. And you owe me nothing, instead we all owe Mallwalker for shedding light on this unique telecine in the first place. :)
Btw, is that herringbone pattern talked about in my thread something you have seen on your copy? I've yet to get any confirmation if this issue is player related or not.
