with the dnr knobs set to zero

That brings up an important question to me.  I already know Disney DNR's the living hell out of their film-based animated features, but can anyone tell me how they treat film-based live-action stuff?

Disney has some great releases, but their entire Blu-ray catalog is very hit-or-miss.

Check out: http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Petes-Dragon-Blu-ray/40517/

Unfortunately, there's heavy filtering. With that being said, the source was excellent enough to somewhat survive the DNR bloodbath.

It would have been better never to show Yoda in the PT, only to have Jedi talk about how amazing he is and wonder where he went.

That would have built up an image of a powerful warrior so we would be in the same place Luke is when he meets him in ESB.

I take it all back. I agree with this 100%.

I must admit wondering what Yoda was like in his younger days. Even he must have been young and reckless once! ;)

Sadly, the PT ruined the following.

I think it would be cool if Yoda was larger in his youth; appearing similar to the Namekians in Dragon Ball Z. The writer could write-in that his people naturally shrink with age.

This would allow him to fight with less... jumping. Also, it would illustrate that "size matters not" because the increase in wisdom (and oneness with the force) that comes with age would more than compensate for the decrease in height and brawn.

Hi, anyone want to take a stab to the image correction to a clip from the Pal version of Make Mine Music ? I can provide the clip, ask me in Private Message.

What kind of image correction? Color correction?

It looks like we have access to another print of The Empire Strikes Back. Will come in handy down the road when the time comes.

So that makes it three prints that we will combine to get the best version created.

Awesome!

Definitely concatenate the best parts of each rather than trying something like (average|median)-of-three. Image registration is way too difficult and film distorts in strange ways, as you already know.

Well, actually, the new version of SW will be quite different. I think I'll end up calling it v2.5 or something, as it won't be done from scratch like v2.0 was but it will have enough new/different stuff to be quite a different beast altogether.

If you don't call it v2.1 or v3.0, then the public is going to be confused where the missing versions are inbetween.

Unless you intend to release lots more versions, I would suggest v3.0 fits in well with the scheme so far for major releases as it's more than a bugfix for wonky audio (v2.1 would have been the audio corrected mkv).

I would normally agree with this, but I think it will create more confusion because everyone will be wondering why they have v3.0 of Star Wars, but v2.0 of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

2.1/2.0/2.0 seems less confusing to me than 3.0/2.0/2.0.

Many are confused by the current 2.0/1.0/1.0.

Merry Christmas

It's Ralph Brown.

I've confirmed that these are on -1's print, so they're definitely negative splices, as Mavimao said.

Case closed!

Wow! That one's pretty cool, georgec.

SilverWook said:

I think it would be wise to research what form of ad this should take. "Print is dead" in the view of some people.

Good point! Hmmm...

This is a good idea. Let's have no negativity about how the media will spin this, it's a valid and worthy goal.

I would be willing to contribute to this, but you'd need plenty of help. The cost seems to be in the 16,000 dollar range now:

Well, that's 3,200 x $5 or 4,000 x $4. It doesn't sound too bad when using those numbers, lol...

FWIW: I'm all for this idea and I'd gladly contribute a respectable sum of money.

nightstalkerpoet said:

I'm actually all for this - I'd kick in at least a $20. Should we start a seperate thread? I was almost thinking it should be moved to General Star Wars discussion, because fewer people come to this part of the forums.

I'd be willing to contribute a good amount of money as well.

Yes, please create a new thread in the General Star Wars Discussion sub-forum.

Let's make this happen!

Great idea, nightstalkerpoet!

Well said, zombie84. :)

I agree. Definitely well said, zombie84.

More git arrogance, please.

Uh, okay?

 

Git is the best revision control system ever created, far superior to Subversion and other competitors.

I don't know... I still prefer Hg for DVCS.

Harmy and box are right, chyron8472.

My point was more about how Laserschwert effectively told her to get lost, when she was only asking what media she should purchase the official movie on.

Oh, OK. I'm sorry for jumping on the pile, then. :-(

Wait... he did? When?!

Does this mean that we won't have to worry about him trolling these forums anymore?

 The other one!

You don't mean... there's a Father Skywalker 2?!

Oh, no!!!

Update... the files are in Adywan's able hands for color correction.  He's quite busy, so it could take a while.  But things are progressing.

Thanks for the update. This is great news! :-D

Wow, You_Too, thanks!

I don't have the time to look at them tonight, but I just wanted to drop-in to let you know that I appreciate your help!

You might want to read forum rule #13.

With that being said, I'm sure someone here can help you out.
