The new clip is up! (6.5MB, requires XviD codec)

Again, not the best quality clip, but it gets the job done. The sound effects might seem a little cheesy, but I'll let you guys decide that for yourselves. This is still a work in progress as well. I'm entertaining the thought of adding a ship fly-by that leaves the episode title in it's wake instead of the current wipe-in method. What do you guys think?

Here's my idea..

the starburst behind the title?? Make it initially WAY more intense, to where it very briefly whites out the whole screen--and as the white recedes back into space, have the "Empire Strikes Back" fade in, (not wipe in) in direct response to the light fading back behind the Star Wars logo. So the starburst basically looks like it's leaving the title behind in it's wake.

I really like this idea. I'm going to try it out.

Zion,

Great to see you back at work! The logo looks awesome and yeah, Bizzle's idea would be cool if you could implement it.

Zion, are you going to implement the big "V" behind Star Wars like the official DVDs or leave it as is?

Either way, the menu's looking great and very professional.

Wow. Amazing. That's just ... wow...

Are you going to be putting A NEW HOPE in the SW menu? Wait, I'll back up - will your ANH/SW DVD have a pre-ANH version on it? I'd strongly reccomend one, just put the original crawl and the mono soundtrack and you have the 77 mono theatrical version, right? The crawl could be an alternate angle, so you wouldn't have to make two DVDs and everything. But what do you think about this?

I've been planning to do that all along, I guess I just haven't said anything about it.



Here's a new clip, going off of Bizzle's idea:

Logo w/ starburst title (4MB, requires XviD codec)

I adjusted the video this time around to the proper aspect ratio. Made a few tweaks as well. Also the video is a little bigger so you can see more of the details.

Looks frickin great, Zion, as per usual. Between this set and MeBe's upcoming discs, I do believe we're set... At least until dual layer DVDs become the norm

I used to be very active on this forum. I’m not really anymore. Sometimes, people still want to get in touch with me about something, and that is great! If that describes you, please email me at [my username]ATgmailDOTcom.

Hi everybody. You’re all awesome. Keep up the good work.

I hope the best quality projects don't mess it up at the last minute by going single layer. I was never sure whether or not it was the DL drives/media trickling out or the SE DVDs that sparked all these archival OT projects.

At ~$5-8 per DL disc, it's a small price to pay to get the best archival OT DVD short of having access to the actual AVI source files.

One of the reasons I'd been really excited about Zion's effort was his very good results, but also his choice of going dual-layer. It's not worth working hard to get the best results then blowing it at the last minute.

It seems I must've been unaware he was going DL! Nevermind my previous comment, then. This looks like it could be the final word in OT restoration.

Except that a lot of players won't read them.

Quality sacrifices are unacceptable, given the cost of DVD players. Why would anyone settle for a lesser "Archival edition" under any circumstances? I'd buy players until one worked, given the low cost of DVD players these days. That is if this were even an issue...

There is only an issue with players that REFUSE to play them. Also, if they don't work, they were not burned "the right way".

The +R format has the EXACT reflective qualities of retail DVDs. Only players that refuse (or are confused by) anything other than the DVD-ROM flag will have issues. Of course there is a fix, if you have a burner that has something called "bitsetting" you can instruct Nero to lie and report the disc as a DVD-ROM rather than DVD+R (DL).

Bitsetting is something unique to the +R format as the -R format has DVD-R pressed onto the disc at the factory.

My player does DVD and DVD-R. Stick in a +R and it will spin around for a bit and then say "NO DISC".
