Harmy,
First off, bravo! In the last 48 hours I've gone from knowing nothing of SW fan preservation to eagerly anticipating your finished product - which looks like it might be done in time for a May the 4th viewing we had planned!
I fell into this forum's rabbit hole (I made it 37 pages so far into this discussion) just today. The impetus behind it happened yesterday, as I transferred a 1982 VHS copy of SW to AVI-DV for a friend (should have that wrapped up tomorrow), and began wondering what else was out there that others might have done.
Here, I thought I was doing real work by throwing a noise reduction profile on the horrible VHS audio track!
What I saw in the 37 pages I've gotten read so far is absolutely mind-blowing, but without question speaks to the power of dedication and determination.
All the best to you, and thank you, thank you, thank you. If I can help out in any way, please do not hesitate to ask.
