sorry I type what I want said that is all.

The people on this board don't know anything about you. The only way they can judge you, and form an opinion of your personality, is from reading what you type.

What I'm saying is, if you type like a moron, people will think you are a moron.

Alright I will type more professionally.

I am currently uploading the TS files to mega. I will send a download link when it is done.

The little interviews at the beginning definitely need to be preserved, those alone make this worth it.

 

Speaking of which, I remember renting a set of the movies after the theatrical release of the Special Edition, but before the home release. I think they were a rental only edition of the special editions (the kind that studios used to release so they could make extra money off the rental places before they made the sell-through release), but I guess they could have also been a really late set of the OOT.

The reason it would have to be really late is it had a short featurette about the restoration for the Special Edition on it, but it was a different one from the one on the sell through VHS set. Does anyone know anything about this?

My captures are what is everything as seen on the tapes from beginning to the end of all three tapes, so yes the mini documentary's are in there I just cut that out for the actual film on YT. 

UPDATE: First attempt failed on upload to Mega will try attempt 2 soon.

Second attempt on mega upload is currently in progress.

I bought a new video capture device and I am certain if I re-record these again the new captures will look better and brighter.

I just placed an order for the widescreen edition on EBay. I should be getting the box set in about a week.

I just finished a recapture of the fullscreen tapes and it turns out to look a lot better than the first capture I did. I will be posting comparison pics so you can see the difference.

Here is my first example of my two captures of the first movie. The top is capture #1 and the bottom is capture #2.

Yeth?

 

Oh your 005 well nice to meet you I am 005 as well.

My package came in today and I tested the first 15 minutes before plugging into my capture device. I made a small video with my video camera explaining how I make and edit these captures starting with A New Hope.
