I feel much more "up-to-speed" now.
Klockwerk-- I'm glad my post helped you, but you really have Moth3r to thank for answering!
Moth3r -- Thank you for your kind words for my dad. And thank you for responding so quickly and filling me in on what's been going on here.
Just to clear things up though....
- So are Zion and MeBeJedi still working on two separate projects or are they now teamed up on one called "The XO Project"? Is Laserman involved with that DVD project, his own separate project, or did he just get the capture for them to work on? Basically, I'm a bit confused as to whether "XO Project" refers to one or more nascent versions. Oh, and this X0 capture is from the "Faces" discs, right? Are these (or this?) project(s) going to be anamorphic? Dual layered?
- This "Editdroid" set, is also known as the "Mysterious Mysteries" set I gather from your website. It also appears to be letterboxed, not anamorphic. Is this set Dual Layered? Does it have the Pre-ANH audio dub? You say the picture is on par with TR47's first set, how does the audio compare? Which set of Laserdiscs is this set from? Who would I talk to about obtaining a copy of this set?
- Your PAL set, is it compatible with NTSC at all? Basically, is it worth getting if all your equipment is NTSC like mine?
- The Cowclops/TR47 #2 version, will it be dual layered? Anamorphic? Is it all 3 films? Is it from the Definitive Collection Discs or the "Faces" discs?
- Lastly, Moth3r, I couldn't get the screenshots to change on your site either. Sorry I don't know anything about Javascript. I also have a question about the info on the site. For the specs of each transfer, under "Capture Source" you list "ADC." What does that stand for? And Why does TR47's version have a Digital8 video camera listed under ADC?
Anyway thanks for your help, both of you! Every time I look at the monumental tasks of restoration and of just keeping track of all the different footage to preserve (when you include all the docs and whatnot) I get mad at Lucas for not just making it easier on us and releasing what we want in it's original form on DVD, but having such awesome, talented, and dedicated fans like the people here really makes this tremendous undertaking at least somewhat manageable. Everyone is doing a great job. Keep up the great work!
