Info: Original Trilogy on CED preservations? (3 OT CED released projects in here) — Page 2

The colors seem to be identical to the first rental VHS.

ok, finished watching return of the jedi,

i think it came out the best... about 97% was

very clean, and there are a few glitches and

skips, but it's not worth trying to recapture

for those parts..

jedi is good because its not time compressed,

so it sounds and looks right.. the colors are

dull, but that's how it was encoded..

i think i can make one decent version

of empire strikes back... there are glitches

in both versions..

i'll check star wars again, and work on fixing

and encoding them..

If Jedi is not time compressed like the first issue laserdisc pan and scan i am very much interested in it.  Is this the white caddy or blue caddy version? Never found out the difference i have the rarer white one and both discs.

As far as I know, white caddies were Mono, and blue were Stereo.

finished watching the 2nd star wars

transfer, the FOX version... it's about 90%

glitch free... so a few scenes will be replaced

with the ones from the CBS version.

the colors are way off. the whites, and yellows

are blown out, and the brightness seems pretty

high..... still fun to watch a full frame version...

will take some time to fix it..

Here is a sealed one.  I've never seen one that is sealed.  It's only got about 4 hours left as of right now.

It's not exactly 'sealed', though.

The side is open**...so you could easily slip the plastic on & off.

** - according to the pictures.

i'm almost done with combining the

2 versions of the empire strikes back

into one good one...

i've removed about 10 glitches from it..

now of course there are still some in there,

but it is about 97% complete... i took the original

versions, and split it into 2 avi files... 640x480.

they are time compressed though..

no color or any filtering or cleanup..

i'll post samples shortly, and then let you know

when it's done, you can pm me for the links and share

it anywhere else you want after that..

ok, i'm in the process of uploading

both parts of 'the empire strikes back' v1.0

right now..

i'll upload a sample video to youtube shortly.

here are some previews:

=================

pm me, and i'll send you the links with the password.

working on encoding all 3 parts of 'return of the jedi' next.

should be up later in the day.

star wars is going to take a lot of work.. so maybe

it will be done sometime next week.

ok,

return of the jedi is done now.

i have left it in 3 parts, so that

it is more like the original release..

it's a very good quality version that

doesn't have time compressed video

or audio.. considering how old the source

is..

here's pictures of all 3 parts:

=====================

i'm uploading all 3 parts now..

again, pm me for the links, and specify which ones

you want..

i'll have video clips for all of them shortly..

I'm digging these releases almost as much as my JSC laserdiscs.  There isn't much noise in the picture considering it is an analog medium.  Did you do some post processing on these to reduce noise?

EDIT: Nevermind I should have read up the whole thread first before asking about the post processing.  I'm impressed that these are raw captures except for the compression.

ok,

it took awhile, there were about 20+ glitches

that had to be fixed, but i'm done with star wars,

and am checking it now, before uploading it....

still a few minor ones in there that can't be helped.

i used  both versions to combine into one good one..

here's the pics preview...[note, the final video resolution

will be the same aspect ratio, but 640x480]

=========

will post links and clips once the video is converted,

and uploaded.

looks like there is audio desync issue

in parts 2/3 of jedi, that happened in

the encode.. i'll be fixing that shortly.

sorry.

============================= 

***UPDATE2*******

well that was quick, resynched audio and will

upload fixed versions

=============================

just finalizing star wars and will

start the uploading.

ok, re-uploaded the two parts that are out of sync..

for return of the jedi CED v1.1, 

and star wars v1.0 is done also..

=====================================

pm me, and i'll send all the links..

------------------------------------------

i've resent links for the whole trilogy to everyone

that has requested them

------------------------------------------

in my opinion, the preservation of star wars,

and return of the jedi are the best, with the

least amount of major glitches... empire is ok,

but has some major ones... in all cases, they are

still 97% watchable...

enjoy and share..
