This is indeed good news. I had thought the second version abandoned.
We want you to be aware that we have no plans—now or in the future—to restore the earlier versions.

Msycamore, are you using G-force's de-rainbow script on your new version?

uhm there is no seeding part on myspleen?
I'm happily willing to

I am really enjoying the progress on this msycamore. I am excited for the final look.
Cheers for what you're accomplishing and thanks to all those helping out to make this so cool.

So if there is no seeder for neither msycamore's Technidisc nor PuggoGrande, how is one supposed to become a future project supporter or admirer?

Yeah, I'm sorry to say it but I ran out of steam, with a better capture... I only made a recalibrated and aspect ratio corrected version.

No, I ultimately didn't. Sorry... I hate the rainbowing as much as you guys and at first I was amazed how incredibly effective the script was compared to others I've tested, I was carefully going to apply it where it didn't cause any visible artifacts but after a close comparison with the unfiltered I saw too many nasty side effects - whenever there's movement there was a loss of detail, smearing and discoloration. There was also desaturation that happened at almost every scene/shot change where the first few frames got affected. So IMO it wasn't worth it.
There's no way around it other than making a better capture, I hate introducing new artifacts just to get rid of another. It did get rid of most of it but at the same time it sucked the life out of the picture. You will find that the recalibrated version I'm going to upload is not as nasty looking when it comes to the chroma noise anyway. The poor setting of the first encode exaggerated the flaws in the capture pretty much.
Btw, is there a synced version of schorman's Technidisc audio rip out there? AC-3 doesn't matter, would like to use his ripped audio instead.

Ha-ha, a future supporter or admirer. I suggest you get my new upload instead, don't know if I'll be using MySpleen as my last upload there got deleted without any notice.

Sounds like the derainbow script would do more harm than good? The main strong point of this source is the detail and lack of digital processing, so I'm glad you decided to skip the derainbow.
The page for your first version is still there. It's just marked "dead" so it only comes up if "active torrents only" is unchecked. I'm relatively new to the myspleen tracker, but I would guess it automatically goes "dead" after not being seeded for a given time(?) Rather than an arbitrary decision by a mod or something like that.

Yeah, not easy for you to know but the torrent of mine that was deleted was a '97SE upload.

That's understandable, given how busy you've been with THX-1138.

I'm sure it will look absolutely fine. Your first version was very good, so any improvement will be welcome. :)

I'd love a new version, msycamore, and if the de-rainbowing script has ANY side-effects whatsoever, best do it without.

I've got Molly's 85 mix synched. Not sure if it's sourced from the Technidisc though?
edit:
Found the thread,
http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/ANH-1985-remix-synched/topic/7913/
Darth Mallwalker says: "Molly's source was seventiesfilmnut's LD rip. It's a 1989 SWE with shrinking ratio pressed by Pioneer, USA"
Should be the same mix, right?

The audio you originally had was just fine imo. Being synched to GOUT opens up all sorts of possibilities in any case.

Ah, ok thanks. Don't know if Zion updates that comparison page any longer, otherwise you have Moth3r's page: http://moth3r.heliohost.org/ld-screens.htm But he have two pics not included in your upload. The chroma noise is really awful when seeing it on those stills. :( I see that arnie.d's V8 is missing on those pages...
That site has been deemed abandoned, so Moth3r's gonna have to do something with it before it gets deleted.

Why don't you let him worry about it then? And quoting a two year old post is nearly as bad as your necrobumping.
Where were you in '77?

You might get some rainbow reduction without detail loss if you average a few captures.

Sorry for the radio silence and endless delays, and thanks for your interest! It's not abandoned, a few things have prevented me from uploading it which I need to get in order before I am able to.
Thanks for the suggestion Dave88.
@ poita: Yes, I tried both an average and a multi-cap median and found the latter was much more successfull gettin rid of the crosstalk - "mastering defect" (which I'm still not entirely sure about is a mastering flaw or if it's due to a faulty player.) Please confirm, AntcuFaalb or Mallwalker. I think I even tried average the median.

I thought you might have moved on from this.
Looking forward to what you put together.

Before I take a guess, question: Does your player show crosstalk on other CLV titles?
A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more.
I’m late to the party, but I think this is the best song. Enjoy!

No, not what I have noticed. The level of chroma noise is also a lot worse than on other CLV titles that I own and especially CAV titles. I guess the player could need an adjustment, it's also possible other players are better to deal with the crosstalk if it is indeed present in this pressing. That's why I'm curious if you guys had noticed it on your copies.

Yep, here too. It's just a sloppy pressing, unfortunately.

There is a lot of rainbowing even on the X0 and X9, it is part of the transfer I think.

Yep, Technidisc (the company) sucked. Getting this unique transfer on LD might be the only thing they did "right", however messed-up it may be.
