Better to have a controlled outlet than to let something like that stay bottled up.
This line of thinking is what led to the creation of tentacle porn and that's A-OK in my book.

I've got a pretty good idea of which star wars ntsc ld's are notable/desirable to own but no idea which pal versions are worth grabbing.
The French Coffret Trilogie is often considered the best around here. No DVNR, IIRC.

I often have the urge to buy a shotgun, sit down in front of one of those big honkin' CRT TVs from the '70s/'80s/whichever, deliberately watch something I know I'll hate, then blow the TV away with the shotgun.

Did you look at that frame above?
I'll check tonight, but its presence still doesn't indicate ghosting. It could be an error that happened during the photography stage. There are errors like this in several Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs shots.
At this point I'd be happy with a really good VHS preservation of FSWTJ. I can't stand the JP subs on the LD.
FWIW: We have a few Disney 35mm scan projects going on over at AMPS.

Well... I got busy! Honestly, I started looking into the Star Wars preservation efforts at that time, but I didn't actually get a 720p disc burned until a few weeks ago, so I really wasn't active until now.
In that case: Welcome!

I still don't see any ghosting at all in my Russian R2 DVD. I've stepped through plenty of sequences frame-by-frame and it looks A-OK to me.

Finally, your specialized knowledge comes in handy on a Star Wars discussion board! You knew this day would come. Now go treat George Lucas for ADHD. We, the experts, have diagnosed him.
Hmmm...
I neither made the claim nor support the assumption that GL has ADHD.
What I said was—from my POV—completely unrelated and intended to clear-up a common misconception.
Is everything OK?

All is not lost yet. We may still have access to the disc.
Interesting! Yay!

Sufferers of Attention Deficit Disorder or ADD, frequently change the focus of their attention without warning. Therefore, I did my best to exhibit that trait. Man, you post with Frink on here every day and need this explanation? :D
ADD is no longer part of the DSM. They chose to instead label with ADHD and provide subtypes.
With that being said, ADHD is more accurately described as an inability to regulate attention. It's less of "I can't stop shifting my attention" and more of "I can't stop paying attention to this even though I don't want to anymore" or "I just can't pay attention to this at all".

Frink, why did you create three threads all with the same name?

It's a bit like looking at the GOUT and saying "well compared to what was available before it, I don't see how anyone can complain".
Only a little bit though because the JSC came out way before the DefCol/Faces/GOUT and it's demonstrably better in most ways. ;o)
Has anyone tried contacting this joker on Facebook?

I'm glad that what's quoted above had just enough assholery pumped into it to make me go back and give it a re-read. Thanks!
No problem! That's what friends are for, aye? :P
I'm not sure what motivate(d|s) you to be a dick to me.
I may have misread your first post on this matter, but I still tried to provide some good advice based on my own experience.

I don't know if you are aware of this, but some people chew their food.
I clearly didn't read your post closely enough and missed the part about it being unintentional. I'm glad that what's quoted above had just enough assholery pumped into it to make me go back and give it a re-read. Thanks!

For the last couple of days my jaw has been cracking on the left side underneath my ear. Anytime I open my mouth wide enough to yawn or take a bite of food, and depending on the food with every chew it cracks. It's painless, but extremely annoying.
Keep it up and you won't be able to stop. I started cracking my jaw ~15 years ago and I've had to do it everyday since to keep the pain at bay.

That is the coolest test pattern, ever! Where did you find it?
It's on the Pioneer Reference LD: GGV1069. You can still purchase a copy new from Pioneer.
This particular image is from a capture happycube did of GGV1069 with his Pioneer LD-V8000 to show its considerable ringing.

Does this guy have a good excuse for sitting on it for so long without doing the back-and-forth to get a proper transfer done?
no, no excuses were given to us. I tried to arrange things but nothing ever came about from it. All we have is the files he gave us from the recording he did on the settop DVD recorder, with all the dropout problems with the picture. Completely unusable .
poita and I might be able to bring it to a usable state. Want to bring this to PM?
