I'm a huge Paint Shop Pro fan and I find that for the beginner it is much easier to use. Photoshop is absolutely amazing if you've got the time to really sit down and learn it but for those that don't and still want professional results I recommend Paint Shop Pro more than any other graphics app. And I agree 100% about the use of PNG images vs. JPG images, there is no comparison, especially if you edit and save the image multiple times. No quality loss on PNG images edited, saved and repeated versus huge losses on JPG images.

Its great to see the whole Star Wars preservation community getting behind a project like this. This is the sort of thing that real fans can get behind and I don't think that you'll find better fans of the OOT anywhere! For me this is what the WWW is all about, bringing people from different walks of life together for the better good. Glad to see this thread turn around after all turmoil not so long ago.

Help us Laserman, zion & MeBeJedi, you're our only hope!

From what I understand this whole project is being captured to HuffYUV lossless video and that, because of the minimal compression, storage space is becoming a factor. I was just reading about this new lossless video codec that supports multi-processor setups (unlike HuffYUV) so that it is faster on render machines and has higher compression than HuffYUV. I wasn't sure if you gents had heard of it, and as it sounds pretty good, so I thought that I would give it a mention here.

Lagarith Lossless Video Codec

Sorry if I'm repeating old information.

I think what you guys are doing to preserve the original OT in the best form possible is fantastic. I'm a big supporter of your cause at heart so I thought that I would help out with a small donation. Its not much but I hope that this helps and hopefully I'll be able to give you more in the future. Keep up the fantastic work and know that everyone of us true fans really appreciates your hard work and stellar effort.

May the force be with you!

I've had this funny little clip forever. A friend of mine who is an absolute Star Wars nut gave it to me years ago and I've had it ever since. I don't know how many others have seen it but for those that haven't here it is for you to enjoy just as I have.

Star Wars Sex Talk

The clip is in QuickTime Movie format so QuickTime 3.0 or better is required to view this clip.

Yeah, I've seen it at a bunch of other places as well, Best Buy was just the only one I could think of quickly with an online site that showed the product. Actually come to think of it the last time I was in Wal-Mart, here in Canada, I didn't see any of the Philips DVP642 players. RadioShack, which apparently has changed to The Source by Circuit City (Holy Shit, no more RadioShack!), also carries it for those of us that don't live close to a Best Buy here in Canada.

The latest issue of Entertainment Weekly has a really good article on the Star Wars universe with some really candid comments by Lucas. Some of it still makes me sick but there is a lot of eye opening comments made by the Star Wars grand-daddy. Here is the cover, just in case you missed it. Its a highly recommended read for any SW fan!

I gotta tell you that for the last two years I've been more than happy with the playback features on my CDN$79 Malata DVP-500. It plays back DVD±R/RW, NTSC or PAL discs without a hitch. I don't expect it to last much longer, especially since it probably works harder than any piece of electronics in my house other than my computer. If it were to die today it wouldn't owe me anything, how could it for the price I paid for it. When it does die I won't be replacing it with a $35 jobby though. I'll probably go for the next step up and get the Philips DVP642. Not only is it a name brand that most people are familiar with, it plays DVD±R/RW, NTSC, PAL, DiVX & XviD! In the US you can find this guy at your local Wal-Mart and in Canada you can find it at Best Buy.

First, you have to be a member and logged in to vote. Second, as far as I know each member can only vote once in a poll. I'm sure some could find a way around that if they wanted to but the only advantage would be to make a set that you had a hand in producing look better. I think that most of the people that put the time and effort in creating these sets for us to enjoy have better things to do than tamper with a poll, like going back to the drawing board and making said set better so that it will fair better against the competition next time. Padding the ballot box is not the way to improve on the quality of your set.

Like it should be labelled the 2005-05 poll, with results valid only until some new transfers exist and are ready for inclusion, at which point the poll should be closed and superceded.

I definately agree with that statement. It is something that needs to be renewed from time to time. Not only so that you can include new preservation sets but so that members that have expanded their viewing knowledge of the sets get a chance to revoice or change their opinion/vote.

I included the "Row47" Edition in the poll because there will be those out there that have this version yet have never seen the original TR47 version. Also I suppose you could technically say that it has better A/V quality because it doesn't have the error in ESB that the original TR47 version has. Though I must say that I am suprised that to this point neither one of these variations on a theme has received a single vote. To this point "EditDroid" and "Moth3r" appear to be running away with it. Wonder what will happen when the new Cowclops/TR47 release hits?

Just wondering what you guys would consider the best quality fan preservation set out there? I’m talking strictly about video and audio quality on the films themselves here since most sets that have any special or bonus features have pretty much the same material anyhow. Curious to hear arguments in favour of your fave set. I’ve decided to stay neutral since my experience with any of the sets is limited to the original TR47/Cowclops release. Please feel free to chime in with any sets not in the poll. The TR47/Cowclops Release 2.0 set is included in the poll due to its impending release any day now. Hopefully this thread will act as a guideline for newbies to the forum that are looking to aquire a set via download/trade/donation and will help them decide where the time and effort is best placed.

Gentlemen start your debating!

I have the 4-disc non-anamorphic "TR-47" set which I aquired via a donation directly from TR-47. This set is absolutely amazing and I can't wait for TR-47/Cowclops v2.0! I don't mind downloading it but I would much rather make a donation in exchange for a set. I've been a long time reader on this forum but this is my first post. Just wanted to say I can't wait for the set and hopefully I can be one of the first to get version 2.0. Keep up the fantastic work everyone, there is a whole community of people that really, really appreciate your fantastic work on the preservation of these movies as they should be.
