Does anyone have the "Making of" the original trilogy ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7915808827&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT#ebayphotohosting)? How is the quality of the features?

I was very interested in seeing this. Anyone know where to find it aside form the auction block?

TIA

- You can keep them on iit I was just curious
I haven't downloaded the covers torrent yet if that's what you mean.

"You probably should have captured it at actual LD resolution though, your card should be capable of that, so I'd give it another go in you have another 30GB of disc space."

Ugh. I barely squeezed it onto my 250GB hard drive. Guess I'll have to move a few more things. I have to recapture anyways, since the brightness and contrast are a little off.

"What are you going to use to encode it to DVD-9?"

I wish. I don't have a dual-layer burner yet. It'll be awhile before I even consider it. Actually, considering how good the file looked at medium settings, especially with the small size, I'm not too worried about it.

"try capturing at 720 x 480 if you want it to look correct on the final DVD."

Will do. (as soon as I figure out what is giving me problems on motion frames. I know it's an interlacing issue, but I'm trying to narrow it down to either top/bottom fields or 2-3 pulldown.)

Okay, here are some captures. What am I doing wrong here?

From my MPEG

Bottom field

Top field
http://home.netcom.com/~eandtc/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/pdvd_003.jpg

From my capture (consecutive frames)
http://home.netcom.com/~eandtc/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/image1.jpg http://home.netcom.com/~eandtc/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/image2.jpg

Now, according to Vegas, my capture has no field order (progressive). What should I do?

<span class=“Bold”>JediRandy: They’re certainly beyond any repair you’re capable of making.</span></span>

<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: You aren’t one of us.
<span class=“Bold”>Go-Mer-Tonic: I can’t say I find that very disappointing.</span></span>

Laserman, if you're going through frame-by-frame restoring the movies are you also completely blacking out the borders? Because that will improve compression.

I'm masking out the boarders during the capture process.


Mebejedi, what software are you using to capture. It looks as if the field registration is off when capturing. You do want to capture the fields for the best quality image, then later reconstruct the progressive frames via 3:2 pulldown.

If you use the lossless codec I mentioned, your file will be less than half its current size, and it can capture and playback in realtime no worries.

So I guess you'll need to put the subtitles for the aliens back in later? It sounds like the quality will be second-to-none once you're done (after all, the official DVDs can't be better quality as long as they aren't the originals). I would suggest still using burnt-in subtitles rather than player-invoked ones. Have you thought about seamless-branching the opening crawl with the pre-ANH one? I wonder if MagnoliaFan could edit a cut of Terminator 3 that removes the story errors (eg John being 13 instead of 10 in T2, Arnie calling himself a T-101 which is incorrect, etc) and actually makes it a half-decent move? Nah, such a thing could never be done.

hey rikter look at this auction:

eBay Star Wars LD's

I know you were looking at converting this series of Star Wars LD's. You get them all.

Second, did anyone find or create foreign language subtitle tracks for either the TR47 set, or the anamorphic set?

I know someone awhile back was looking at getting dutch subtitles. I am interested in french subtitles.
Can anyone help?

Those aren't the Definitive Editions. They may be good for lifting the audio off (NOT for splicing with the Definitive's, but for use as a second track).

I wouldn't know where to begin with player-titles, but cutting out particular scenes wouldn't be hard.

"Mebejedi, what software are you using to capture. If you use the lossless codec I mentioned, your file will be less than half its current size, and it can capture and playback in realtime no worries."

I'm using the capture program that comes with Sony Vegas. If I can't find a setting for altering the fields upon capture, then I'll try using AMcap, since I know I can specify which codec to use (the Alparysoft one you mentioned earlier.) Like I said, I have to recapture anyways (the key scene I'm trying to improve is when the SD flies overhead. If I brighten the scene to bring out the stars, then the bottom of the SD gets washed-out. It's a little thing, but I'd like to make it look as best as possible.)

I tried a program called AVI-IO, but got too many dropped frames (although I got 12 overall with Vegas.)

"I know someone awhile back was looking at getting dutch subtitles. I am interested in french subtitles. Can anyone help?"

Well, someone who knows Dutch or French would have to translate the films first. After that, it's all cutting and pasting.

Okay, here are my new captures. Tell me how I'm doing so far. I got [url=http://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=2#comments]VirtualDub[/url] to work (though I can still only capture in RGB.)

LOOKING DAMN GREAT!!!!!

The picture looks a little soft in the last few pictures on the bottom - DON'T get me wrong but the interlaed picture the Star Destroyer seems to have a bit more detail...

AND YES!!

Those colors are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's the actual MPEG, but only a segment. I'll just have to adjust the colors for the compression. The capture itself is the important part.

Laserman, I can't get Vegas to recognize the huffy AVI (only the audio is recognized.) I'll search the Sony forums, but it looks like I'm resigned to RGB (which still looks awesome, but there's absolutely no compression.), unless Vegas will recognize the Alparysoft codec (I'll try it later.)

I'm gettin' giddy!!

THANKS SO SO MUCH!!

I actually haven't slept yet I've been kind on edge - I'm SURE it'll all go fine and THIS may well be here last MAJOR operation ever!

I've been cruising like ALL the forums I know of to keep myself distracted......

Too bad the dumbass asians screwed it up-they never do LD transfers correctly. How much are you asking for the set, Kris?

I have a question for either TR47 or other members who own his internet-legendary DVDs. I currently own the "Faces" laserdisc collection and was wondering how do the DVDs compare to these? I'm considering just keeping these LDs for now until technology improves with disc storage capacity, etc., to allow a perfect DVD copy that looks every bit as good or better than the LDs. Should I wait?

The copies I have are virtually identical to the LDs themselves-many people have stated this after watching them. I don't see how it could be better, as any transfer is limited to the equipment/software used and the source material.

Thanks, TR47. I almost e-mailed you months ago about your DVDs long before I ever found this forum. To make a long story short, I ended up buying my first laserdisc player instead. I can't say I regret doing it, because there are so many other movies besides Star Wars not available on DVD that I now own on LD as a result. However, I do need to eventually get DVDs made.

(Is there any movie out there besides Star Wars that has fans crazy enough to invest hundreds of dollars in an obsolete laserdisc player??? Lucas is nuts to not appreciate this kind of devotion to his original films!)

Not that I know of. Star Wars isn't like other movies. It has gone through so much that even other greater films haven't gone through. When was the last time Coppola tried to add CG helicopters to Apocalypse Now? Even with his redux, the original is still available on DVD.

Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here, this is the war room!
