Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) [1130-70]
Star Wars: Krieg der Sterne (1977) [1130-73]
If so, can you please post some images? I’m particularly interested in the binary sunset shot.
Thanks!

Where can it bet found? Been following the thread off an on for a long while now, but was not aware that v2.0 was finished.
Usenet (a.b.starwars) and MySpleen.

I was referring to OmegaMattman's re-upload of Molly's theatrical version of Beauty and the Beast. It's a laserdisc rip and the only OAR version available. Plus, there's a few special edition add-ons that still managed to make it into the "theatrical" cut on each release. Minor changes, but still there.
To be fair though that's less strange than msycamore's video-only 97SE being removed.
What's weird is that I can't find the MySpleen log entry for the deletion of msycamore's 97SE.

Anthony,
sorry, I have not the PAL P&S LDs... if only I could get them, I think it will be possible to improve the resolution of the central part of the image of letterbox LD captures!
About the Tantive Corridor: as written in the post #13, the first glitch is still visible, while the second is erased, but I didn't fix it manually... the script I used found the way to erase only the second one.
I like those burn marks! :(
Part 1/2 has been uploaded.
I need to go out, so I'm sending Jetrell Fo the link. PM him if you want it immediately, I guess.
I'll start uploading part 2/2 tonight.

I didn't type that; pat man did.
I was referring to Pat Man with that lack-luster joke.
The way things were quoted didn't make that clear. Sorry.
Ha! It's no problem. Don't be sorry.
:) Okay...Sorry about being sorry, then. ;)
You better be! ;)

I was able to see the 3D effects despite my stereo-blindness.
Wait, what?
I assume this means that you felt the immersion of stereo without stereo, I guess thanks to 48fps. Right?
Not really, no.
I meant that I could actually see the little 3D effects in "3D"; e.g., birds flying out at my face.

I don't understand people who thought the movie was long. It was the perfect length. And it was the shortest Jackson-Tolkien film yet! Without the credits it's just a little over two and a half hours. I would say it is the fastest paced and most action packed of the four films so far. None of that Lothlorien crap that brought Fellowship to a screeching halt. There is one Rivendel scene but it's short and awesome--and involves two of the funnest cameos in the entire film (actually three, but one especially is a treat to see). Won't spoil it, but yeah.
Long and boring? Hate to see what those reviews thought of the other three films.
I agree. It was the perfect length.
I just saw the movie in HFR 3D and I was able to see the 3D effects despite my stereo-blindness.
I thought it (the movie) was wonderful. I've always preferred The Hobbit to the LotR trilogy, so it should come as no surprise that I enjoyed it more than all three of the LotR movies combined.
Truly magical. I felt like a kid again!
I can't wait for the next two.

Well, I ended up going with this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00752R4PK/
I don't usually do the whole "warranty" thing, but I figured this is probably one time I should. Looks like BD players are either less than $100, or more than $500, and not really much inbetween...at least on Amazon with "four stars or higher" selected. Hopefully I don't end up getting what I paid for =|
Yay, Panasonic!
Interestingly, all of my gear is made by Panasonic:
LD: Panasonic LX-900U
VHS: Panasonic AG-1980P
DVD: Panasonic DMR-ES10
Weird. o.O
Where are the burn marks in the corridor of the Tantive IV? They're in all of the PAL THX preservations created by members of this forum, but I can't see them in the YouTube clip you posted.
I'm referring to these: http://fd.noneinc.com/Glitch/starwars-tantiveorangeerrors/starwars-tantiveorangeerrors.html

Those stills are beautiful! Thanks for the link!
The screenshots from the BDs? Okay...
A little weird article. There are much more women in the films, you don't need to dig the cutting floor. Beru, Tonnika sisters, Hoth rebels (at least three), Cloud City personnel, Oola... Sure there could and probably should be more but still. I agree with the comment: "I'll go with "who cares?" for a thousand, Alex."
I haven't seen the BDs...
Also, few (none?) of the women you mentioned were in powerful roles.
I'm currently uploading part 1/2.
Andrea: Do you own any of the PAL P&S LDs?

It's different than the 30FPS video/sitcom/news style. It is actually much, much smoother. The problem with that 30FPS soap opera rate is that it's smoother than film, yet still far enough away from real life motion that it still looks...odd. We say "cheap" but that's solely because we have only seen it used in low-budget TV/video productions. There's nothing inherantly "cheap" about it, but it's certainly not impressive. The 48FPS rate is far beyond that, as much as 30fps is different than 24fps. I wish they had gone with Doug Trumbull's 128 FPS, which is apparently indistinguishable from real life.
Well 128 is, at least, a nice and healthy power of two!

I can do it tonight.
I'll use 7-Zip to split it into two separate archives and then I'll upload each half to a dummy Google Drive account.
This would be much appreciated.
Working on the upload now.
I totally feel like a kid again.
The extra vertical resolution in the P&S transfer kicks ass.
I'm going to have to add this to my long list of forthcoming preservations.
Oh, man! I downloaded DJ's Standard Play LDs.
I LOVE this transfer.

Congratulations! Hope you'll be able to make the ultimate JSC preservation sometime. :)
I hope so, too.
My Panasonic LX-900U won't be able to compete with a Pioneer HLD-X0 or X9, but the PQ is excellent and smear-free.
Also, "Mode 1" noise-reduction eliminates most drop-outs, but doesn't harm the picture at all, from what I'm told.
Look here: http://forum.lddb.com/viewtopic.php?p=26194#p26194
The 900 EXCELLS at reproducing shades of color that NTSC hates, like saturated lavenders and crimsons - and without streaking or flicker - I always leave my 900 set with the digital noise reduction in Mode 1 because it cleans up all discs without harming the picture on good discs in any way - with resolution charts and such, you can't even see that it's operating other than the lack of chroma or luma noise. Mode 2 of the DFNR gives a substantial amount of video NR, but damages diagonal resolution - on an interlaced set, you'd never see it - but on a progressive scan set, angled edges and such take on a stair stepped quanitized look due to the field correlation NR processing.
