"MeBeJedi, it's gonna take a lot of work to make this happen. From what I'm told, this VHS telecine is from a 16MM print that looks...well, not the best. "

Oh, I have a few contingency plans in motion.

"(for instance, "A New Hope" includes the original special "The Making Of Star Wars" plus two clips from the original mono version with Aunt Beru"

Hmmmm, that might be where this person got them from. I'll have to check my copies. Thanks for the heads-up!

"By the way, I have TMPGEnc DVD Author 1.6, and every time I add two videos to the same track the video becomes de-synched with the audio after the second track. For example, I got the new Battlestar Galactica miniseries and edited out the credits at the end of part one and beginning of part two, loaded part one onto a track in TMPGEnc DVDAuthor and then part two onto the next track. However, after the second half starts, the audio is out of sync, however if I skip back to the beginning of it the audio is back in sync, I just can't play it straight through. Not sure if this is the best thread for this, but anyone know what the deal is? Can I just not do this in that program?"

And that's why I'll never give up on Vegas. I can visually sync up the audio and video (look for spikes in the WAV at key points, like when R2 falls down after the Jawas zap him), and then I can zoom in to the exact frame and slide the audio back and forth until it is in sync. I can splice in anything I want down to the frame, and never have to worry about losing sync. I could never have made the AC3 track at the quality I wanted without it. Rikter can tell you - even though there were 3 splices in the video (each side), it is in dead-on sync throughout the movie, even if you cycle through the different soundtracks.

"@MeBe: check your PMs."

Sorry. Still working on the wedding video.

"The crawl IS generated, I know that. I believe they used After Effects. It's pretty seamless in motion."

I'm looking forward to comparing it to mine made in Combustion. It's modeled exactly after the crawl from the EOD documentary.

"Did they make the whole trilogy or just ANH?"

Well, ANH went through the most changes, so an ESB version wouldn't be much different from the others that are out there.

"as there were quite a few cues on Hoth that were cut out, but they're integrated here nicely."

You don't happen to know if they have the sequence of 3PO puling the warning sign off the door, do you? THAT would kick ass!
