I think that Harmy should release whatever is easiest for him to create.
wabid: This bickering is pointless, as it's Harmy's decision anyway.

Wait, this thread was serious?
Unfortunately for me, yes.
I am, of course, still interested in joining!
What's "A New Hope"?
It sounds like you all are talking about Star Wars...
OK, let's get this going. Post some images of beautiful women who are on the, er... chubby side...
Everyone's interpretation of the word "chubby" is different, so to clarify: I'm not talking about fat, obese, or morbidly obese women. I'm just talking about women with a little meat on their bones!
LET'S SEE SOME MUFFIN TOPS.
GO!

Wow! OT and PT humor mixed together!
That's really cool.

I have noticed today that some pages have not been loading correctly. This one for instance will only show up to post 16, even though it is showing that there are new posts. The page finishes loading but stops at post 16 and doesn't even show the quick reply box or anything else underneath;
http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Michael-Arndt-heavily-involved-in-writing-the-new-SW-trilogy/topic/14848/
So it must be working for some. I am using Firefox, but i have also tried it on IE with the same results. The other pages i was having problems with seem to have sorted themselves out. I have cleared my cache but still no joy.
Is anyone else having the same problems or is it just me?
I'm having the same problem(s) here.

You should not need to deinterlace - I think you can just swap the field order.
Had a second look and you are right about that, wasn't paying attention. An easy fix if a re-encode should take place. Except for the audio, did you ever digitize your recording Moth3r?
How many different ITV recordings are there? I count three, but I may be wrong...

I remember back in 2006 when I first read the post at the link above, my head exploded!!!
All this time later, I still have no idea what it means!!!
However, as long as other people understand it, that is all that matters.
(The following uses PAL for any figures and examples.)
TV displays work in an interesting way. They use interlacing to display frames.*
Instead of showing one frame 25 times per second, they show one-half of a frame 50 times per second. Each one-half of a frame is called a field.
Now, each field is composed of every other line in a frame. So the even field contains lines: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, ... and the odd field contains lines: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, .... (This is the reason why separating fields results in a half-resolution image.)
There are two ways to order your fields for transmission and/or recording. You can send the even field first (a.k.a., top field first or TFF) or you can send the odd field first (a.k.a., bottom field first or BFF).
DVDs standardized on sending the even field first, so every DVD is TFF. However, TV (or just UK TV or maybe just ITV) broadcasts send the odd field first, so they're BFF.
Your DVD recorder probably assumes that its input is TFF, but your source is BFF, so your recording has the even field where the odd field should be and vice versa. This results in a combing pattern that appears to be very similar to the interlacing we all know and love.
Please let me know if you'd like me to explain further!
* The reason for using interlacing is to reduce the bandwidth needed for over-the-air transmission. Remember bunny ears?!

There was only one letterboxed LD of NSNA released in the U.S., so no brainer. ;)
There was a Japanese pressing, but according to the LDDB, subtitles are in the picture.
It would be ironic if the renegade Bonds look better on Blu than the official ones.
Silly me! I should have checked LDDB first.
This one, right? http://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/09158/14160/Never-Say-Never-Again-%281983%29
I think I'm going to go with The Connery Collection LDs.
On that note, which NSNA LD is the best, captainsolo?
IT'S YOU !!
It's a UNIX system! I know this!

I'm sorry is this OT.com?
I can't believe what I'm reading.
JP3 is to JP and TLW as TPM is to SW and ESB
What about ROTJ? My favorite of the three is ROTJ...

I haven't visited these forums in a long time. First, when I heard about the blu ray changes coming, I discovered this place, and found the dark_jedi v3 DVD info out there. At the time, this seemed like my best option for a simple transfer for ease of playback etc. but I didn't find any simple HD options (I may not have looked hard enough).
This looks fantastic. Been examining lots of the screenshots, which describe some immense amounts of work on all this. Incredible. Unbelievable. Awesome.
Currently getting v2, and the "AVCHD" versions of ESB/ROTJ.
Maybe I missed this, but is there any other version out there? The first one is a much larger mkv (v2), and the rest are in AVCHD format? I would think all three would have same release format, at least for consistency, but perhaps not? Just looking for any clarification on the available renditions to be sure to get the best ones.
My original 2006 DVDs are nice to have, but I am immensely thankful for projects which have taken things to the next level and made these films so much more enjoyable on modern equipment. Thank you all for the incredible work in making this possible. When I first saw the list of sources for this "despecialized" version, I was in disbelief. Truly a massive undertaking. Please don't rush 2.1, I'm sure it'll be well worth the wait!
...itching to see these soon... cannot wait to settle in to a "movie night" with these new renditions. Can't say thank you enough - thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!!
Harmy isn't done with v2.0 of the two sequels, so you're probably getting v2.0 of SW and v1.0 of TESB and ROTJ.
angryboy: Harmy typically prefers "bug" reports to be done via PM, as reading them may destroy the magic for future viewers.
With that being said, is what you listed for SW (ANH) for v1.0 or v2.0? I compared the v2.0 Dewback shot in question to both PS78 and GOUT and I didn't notice any difference between them.
There is a CGI-looking (but, really, not CGI!) Dewback just outside of the Mos Eisley Cantina in the OOT.
Excellent work, Harmy!
I'm looking forward to seeing more of v2.1!

The worst prints are release prints. Contrary to popular belief, release prints are crap and have at best the equivalent of 720p in terms of spatial resolution when projected. The chemical process smears the resolution due to uneven gate speeds. Then you got dirt and damage on top of that.
What is this, I don't even...
How did they think a "chemical process" smears the film?? Uneven gate speeds? That would never happen, but if it did, that would lead to jumped frames, not resolution problems. What a moron.
I agree. He most definitely is a moron.
He's almost as bad as those people who claim that GOUT is the best possible preservation due to "70s film limitations".
WTF
LOL! I just read this over at TFN: http://boards.theforce.net/threads/is-there-any-real-reason-why-the-ot-will-never-get-an-unaltered-release.31902788/page-10#post-50153178
