Here's a variation I did some years back on the sleeve Infinity posted above, changing the spine to the 'frame' motif seen on legitimate "Disney Classics" releases...

Nice cover, but why is the Hi-Res link half the size (in bytes) compared to the "Small" image posted here ?

However, in practice you must take into account the “fuckwit factor”. Just talk to Darth Mallwalker…

Dunno. I'm quite a green "Padawan Learner", so I was just copying the methodology the last guy used (presuming he's gotta know more than ME about the way things are done around here)!

Using Firefox, when I right-click the Hi-Res image to see its properties it says:
The image “http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a349/Mencken59/SOTS_Sleeve.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Would you be willing to try uploading again to photobucket ?

I've never used photobucket, but for example imageshack has a "resize image" option. If photobucket has an equivalent option, don't use it. Keep the original size.

I have disc art that someone made, but it's really awful quality (along with an equally bad cover). I'd be very happy if someone with better skills than myself were to do a nice one.

This is obviously just a preview - Jmoomer has said its about 97% done, so any minor flaws will be picked up in a final sweep, though any feedback would be appreciated.

I think it's a winner !

I've yet to see this movie. But would love to see it.
There's good in the Original Trilogy, and it's worth fighting for.

Just curious (and trying to keep the thread alive) if anyone has had the opportunity to convert the recent BBC broadcast to a DVD format?
I understand this would have the potential of being a better copy than the JP Laserdisc I own.

I did record it, and it's certainly on my 'to do' list.

Of course being that it was BBC, the 4:3 image is pillar-boxed within a 16:9 frame - at least that's how my digital recording comes out.

I'm assuming if anyone did a set-top DVD recording from BBC (Analogue), they might have a better picture?

If the vertical black bars are actually present in your recording, does that mean they would show up on a standard tv as having a black border. Similar to say, a non anamorphic widescreen release on a ws tv. You could just chop off the sides, right?
I'm really anxious for a copy of this movie. I joined a film club at my college and would love to show it during one of our "private" meetings.

I believe the trick is to flag the 16:9 video and 4:3 pan and scan in authoring.

If you watch the film on a 16:9 tv set you get the image in the center of the screen with plag bars down the sides like you would if you were watching 4:3 footage, only in this case the black bars are part of the image.

If you watch it back on a 4:3 tv, instead of letterboxing the image and so getting black bars on all four sides, you use pan and scan which will crop the left and right sides of the image, so you still see the 4:3 part of the image on your 4:3 screen.

The only major downside is that because you have anamorphically squeezed your 4:3 image, you have lost some of the horizontal resolution in doing so, so the image will not be as good as a natural 4:3 image which is what would have been shown on analogue tv in the uk.

Unfortunately it's too late now, but if you go into the setup menu of your digital receiver, you can change the TV aspect ratio to 4:3. This should prevent a 4:3 image from being "pillar boxed".

(I do this for football games that are televised in countries that don't provide a 16:9 picture - then use my TV's proportional stretch mode. I know it works on NTL and Sky, so probably Freeview as well.)

I'm using a Toppy PVR in the UK which just stores the transported streams. I'm currently watching Tv on a 4:3 box and have it set for 4:3. BBC in the UK use Pan & Scan or "Center Cut Out" when displaying 4:3 programs. The likes of ITV, Channel 4 and five all display 4:3 video, with the correct MPEG header.

In other words if you're recording a BBC MPEG stream, that's how they're broadcast. Analogue TV you wouldn't have the problem as everything is 4:3.

I'm willing to trade my DVD-R recording for other preservations. It's in native 4:3.

Mentor- is your dvd-r off the BBC broadcast that dvd-boy is talking about doing or off a LD or something?
