I hate to keep belaboring this question but where would you find such an HDTV version?
On a HD channel on tv? 😉 Recordings are all over the interwebs, google and you shall find.

To be fair, the release of 2011 BDs essentially erased the 2004 HD from the public interwebs. Pirates don’t generally care about anything but the latest, which is problematic for preservationists.
Thread needs more Biff Tannen.
Hi guys, first post on this fantastic site. Downloaded ANH and ESB from Kat.cr tonight and watched both. Thank you so much to everyone involved. While I don’t mind the BluRay quality, I hate the extras added in so these fan made versions are a complete godsend.
One thing though, can anyone recommend a reliable Freeware converter for MKV to MPEG2 as had to watch on PC.
Would be great to put them on a big USB stick and plug into my Panasonic TV.
Thanks again!!! Fantastic!!!

The Freemake Video Converter does a nice easy-to-use job (I’m no tech geek so there may be better options out there), it’s available here - http://www.freemake.com/free_video_converter/ - and ermm… is free 😃
It may be worth getting hold of a mate’s Chromecast - or similar device - to be able to watch your original download on your Panasonic tv? (may be easier and quicker than converting etc - and gives you a pretty cheap and easy option of watching any video files on your pc on the tv).
Either way - welcome - and good luck 😃
A little patience goes a long way on this old-school Rebel base. If you are having issues finding what you are looking for, these will be of some help…

A Project Index for Star Wars Preservations (Harmy’s Despecialized & 4K77/80/83 etc) : A Project Index for Star Wars Fan Edits (adywan & Hal 9000 etc)
… and take your time to look around this site before posting - to get a feel for this place. Don’t just lazily make yet another thread asking for projects.
I would like to download the despecialized versions of the trilogy, but my computer belongs to my school. Is there any risk of viruses or other adverse effects on the computer by downloading or torrenting? (I’m new to all of this, if you can’t tell).

If I were to use Burn (I’m a Mac user) to put the .iso file on a disc, would I make it a data disc?
If you download JDownloader from the link on the Introductory Guide, and use the multi-part .rar version, there are no adverse affects.

There far from erased from Rutracker and Usenet.
I know that this is not the intent of this project, but I would like to respectfully suggest a version of Star Wars that includes the Episode IV: A New Hope subtitle along with the more consistent colors from the earlier versions of Despecialized versions reminiscent of the home video colors. Again, I completely understand the fact that this is not the goal of this specific project, but I think it is also important to preserve the version of Star Wars that a great number of fans (and many of us in this forum) grew up with along with the all-important theatrical versions. I would gladly do this myself if I had the ability to do it but I would no-doubt screw it up and fail miserably because of my technical ineptitude. I know that Harmy released the Star Wars 90s SE awhile back and has mentioned a willingness to include the Episode IV subtitle. Again, I’d be interested in hearing if you are willing to do this the next time you revisit the Star Wars Despecialized Edition.

OK then, so maybe not all over, but still available from here and there.

Cheers foe the reply. I discovered Freemake last night whilst investigating some more myself, so it’s excellent you confirmed my choice, problem solved. Burnt to DVD so even more fantastic, Merry Christmas all!!!

+1 to a consistent-color version like V1.0. I’d much prefer it to the latest versions. I’d love it if Harmy would consider doing that along with his I.B. Tech version.
Whoever wants the HDTV versions of the movies, they’re on the organ.

There are other projects that go to some lengths to re-create the colors of our VHS-tinted memories. This one comes to mind: http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/GOUT-EC-Edition-v2-RELEASED/id/15871

That thread is hilarious.
But I think what people are requesting in this case are colors similar to the ‘before’ pictures in that thread. 😛
Depends on which “home video” you’re referring to. For those who remember the old CBS FOX P&S VHS tapes, that thread pretty well does recreate home video colors. The “before” would have been more-or-less the THX remasters, so I guess younger people could think of those as “the home video look” too (but, for the record, the old VHS colors may have had their issues, but at least they didn’t give everyone purple skin like the THX remasters…). Either way, I’m not so nostalgic that I’m not personally delighted to finally be rid of all the various ways home video can get the colors wrong, so I guess my bias is showing.
Hey so I’m having trouble burning A New Hope and Empire to a DVD. Jedi worked easily without any problems. But for some reason I’m having trouble with the other two. Sometimes I’ve been able to successfully burn them using imgburn but then they won’t play on my PS4, DVD player, or even my computer. I am using a dual DVD disc and I’ve tried using the AVCHD but for some reason its not working for me. I’ve even tried using MKV and then converting it but that was unsuccessful too. Does anyone have any suggestions that would be helpful? Anything help would be great. By the way this is really great and I really appreciate all the hard work you guys have put into making this dream come true. Keep up the good work and thanks for your help.

As I said, I know that the intent of the project is not to preserve theatrically inaccurate aspects of the trilogy, but I suggest that Harmy should consider the fact that the pre-SE version of Star Wars with the Episode IV subtitle is effectively unavailable in high quality medium. The reason I make the request in this thread is because I recall Harmy voicing a willingness to create a version with the Episode IV title crawl before, and was wondering if he were interested in doing anything of the sorts.

Possibly - I’m actually considering doing multiple color-versions for v3.0 - an I.B. Tech version, which would keep the colors similar to v2.5 (and the I.B. scans) and a more balanced natural looking version (I’d need a more snappy name for it - maybe, since it seems like the Eastman prints were more like that, I could call it the Eastman version), so maybe I could also make a home-video version with colors closer to the most common VHS relases and the '81 crawl but I’m not making any promises 😉

I would be very excited to see those alternate color versions. Though, I think I will appreciate the IB version much more once it’s tightened up a bit as well.
The other versions, and the 81 crawl, may be nice to have for marathons as they will match the other two films better. Though I hate to admit that it’s a bit Lucasian to think that way. 😉
Well, I always say that it’s great for multiple versions of movies to coexist in the same quality, while Lucas only wants one version to exist in the latest format, so I think it’s actually anti-lucasian to think that way 😃
I’m really glad to hear it. I hope it happens!
