Hello all, well I’ve been trading Star Wars related footage for several years. You an imagine my delight finding this website out.

Anyway, I have over 20 tapes worth of Star Wars footage on VHS that I need to get converted the question is where to start. I also am pretty much a newbie when it comes to DVD authoring. I have a laserdisk player, a betamax player, a VHS player and DVD player and a ATI 9200 All in wonder card so I can capture from almost any source, however I’m not very educated on the various filters, and mixing and mastering software to get the best possible quality.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I would even send out my VHS tapes to anyone wanting to help me with this project. Again, it’s where to start.

Here’s my list of Star Wars related footage:

MeBeJedi is helping me out with this footage. I believe he may be able to clean it up a bit. I should be sending him the tapes on Monday.

Thanks MeBeJedi for your help!

Well, my motives aren't entirely altruistic. (I'm a big fan of the ride myself. )

<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>

my big request is a good capture of the 4 original making of docs from the 80's

the ones available at the moment are either really grainy and washed out, or have burned in jap subtitles.

a good copy of these would be nice.

If you are referring to the "Making of the Saga" type material, I believe Rikter has excellent copies of the American LDs.

How about:

Omnibus - The Story of Star Wars (from Compilation Tape 3)

Universe Walter Cronkite - Behind the Scenes on Empire Strikes back (Highlights Tape 2)

I'd also like to see that SNL "Star Wars Screen Tests" in decent quality.

It would be great to recreate the Star Tours experience, at least with a decent video of the "tour" (and maybe a vibrating chair, lol).

I downloaded a 74 MB file some time ago. It was a camera recording of the whole trip. Maybe it came from the same tape. Quality was nice, but the video sice was too small. I was planning on converting it to DVD, adjusting the colors, but I'll wait for MeBeJedi's release.

Go ahead and email your version to me, so I can compare them.

BTW, I'm not sure if I already posted this or not: Star Tours FLASH.
