I will definitely continue browsing OT.com even after the dvd's are released (assuming the site continues). I also hope that we still get to see the final X0 discs released. From what I've seen, these discs look great and I cannot wait to see a final product (assuming that it does get released).
Sincerely,

Rest assured that the project will continue. We aren't going to keel over and die just because of recent events. I stand by what I said in the Chicago Herald, and I can't wait to see how our superior effort stacks up to LFL's half-hearted attempt.
This is far from over...

Ha ha! Okay, well... unlike Bush, let's wait until we actually see the finished results before we say it.

What I meant was, about how far into the movie are you finished restoring? Or are you doing it in scattered sections?
If thats the case...what percent finished would you say you are?
I'm just curious to know...thats all.

XO PROJECT: The OOT is coming here?
DARTH FORUM: That is correct, Commander. And OT.com is most displeased with your apparent lack of progress.
XO PROJECT: We shall double our efforts!

Before the official announcement I had often thought that the X0 would be the best possible version of the movies it would be possible to attain. I started out with a TR47 set, then ocp's work, now I'm getting the Editdroids--comparing them all is interesting. Once the official release comes, assuming it's any good, I'll probably give up my comparison game and just watch that, but I want to see how the X0 measures up to it. There's always going to be something preferable about one version over another.
But I have to wonder, though: with all this work going into making these projects, doesn't it make it difficult to just sit back and watch them as movies, and not think about technical considerations or pondering changes? If I just relax I can almost watch the official '04 release and not get upset with it (key word being *almost*, of course). Hell I had a great time watching with my buddies in college when it first came out. Someone on theforce.net was saying that you could use the THX optimiser on the discs to calibrate your tv settings properly, and having done that I found that some of the colour issues on the '04s became less bad (Vader's lightsaber went from nasty magenta to its proper red in most shots, and the Tantive's walls were more white and less blue, among other things). Still, you shouldn't really have to mess with your tv to make something watchable, and it doesn't change the sound mix on ANH being complete crap. The X0 will therefore always be a far better viewing experience since it is going for a proper colour scheme throughout.
So keep up the great work, you guys! Do you know what sound mix/mixes you will be using, perchance?

"If thats the case...what percent finished would you say you are?"
I try to do it in continuity, but some scenes require more work than others, and which scene I do depends on how much time I have in the immediate future. As such, it's very difficult to say. Many of the Tatooine scenes are real bitches, especially in regards to identifying and removing video noise and specks from the background. Space shots are generally easier, because there's much more contrast between the video and the glitches (although stars tend to confuse, since they drop in and out of sight every few frames.) It takes a lot of back-&-forth to see these things. I'll have to poke Zion in the butt to show my old "6 seconds" video, showing how long it takes to correct a 6-second segment. If I recall correctly, it took over 15 minutes. As such, it's tedious to watch, but it really gives you an idea of why this process takes so long.

I do believe I saw that little video of yours.
I was just curious as to how much was completed thus far....and I guess now I have some sort of idea.
Thanks again.
