So I'm assuming that the discussions on these projects, like the Alice in Wonderland 35mm, are much more active over there than here? That's one I've been interested in.

I don't think that one's active anywhere at the moment, but I expect it will be more active at AMPS in the near future.

This is the 2004 ANH scene selection menu. The images don't match the movie on the same disc.

lol!

Glad I read this ...... when can we expect the move to be complete Ant?

It's probably going to take a while, but if you make an account on Reddit I can add you to what we have now. Just send me a PM with your username.

AMPS is moving to a private invite-only subreddit: https://ssl.reddit.com/r/AMPSdeux

It's all up now.  Let me know if there are any issues.

Awesome, thanks! I'll download it tonight!

Posting now :)

Man, you're the best! Thanks! :-)

There is however this option for owners of the 3D BD:

" The way 3D BD versions work now is that they are all 2D m2ts files with an extra folder for 3D info that the Blu-ray player will utilize when the 3D mode has been selected/activated. However on the 3D BD the 2D m2ts file comes with the two different aspect ratios. So all you have to really do is turn that file and only that file into an mkv file and you should have your GOTG 2D IMAX BDRX. My 2D IMAX remux came to over 28 gigs btw and looks fantastic! "   (And it will look like the 3D picture above)

It's on! Cheers. Ripping 3DBD onto my drive now. Fingers crossed this works :-)

Compare the MD5 with stretch009 and then share it!

Jabba's size never seemed right to me in that scene. Is he actually the same size there as he is in RotJ, or did they make him too small?

I definitely think they made him too small.

My #1 priority at this point in time is to make sure that my HDD isn't the only copy of this thing and the best (cheapest, too!) way to do this is via uploading it to Usenet.

Thanks for the reminder. I've had a ton of other higher priority OUT-related projects taking up all of my spare time.

I'll get to this as soon as I can.

I'm going to work on posting to a.b.starwars within the next two days.

Awesome! Thank you so much!

schorman13 said:

Thanks, I'll try both methods.  Are the command line tools appreciably faster?

They're not faster. I just have more trust in the ones I posted than I do in JBinUp.

Anybody else?

Tho only LD I've ever seen in my life was like 15 year ago, I will never forget that massive ''CD on steroids'', I watched Last Action Hero and I was astonished with the fidelity and clarity of the sound and image. I do remember that the speaker system of that LD player was massive, no less than 4 speakers if I recall correctly. Does LD have 5.1? No clue :P

There are AC-3 and DTS LDs.

Sure, Do you have any advice on a program to post with? It's been a while since I posted to usenet.

Thanks!

If you're comfortable with the CLI, then I suggest sanguinews (for posting); par2tbb (for par2 file generation); and p7zip (for compressing and splitting).

If you prefer a GUI, then I suggest JBinUp.

I still haven't managed to grab a copy of this. There just aren't enough seeders. Can you throw this up on Usenet and I'll seed it on MySpleen 24/7 for like a month (at least!)? I'd appreciate it...

Ugh, "Kylo Ren"? WTF?

And that's only from a print, I imagine an IP or the composite used in the original negative (if still usable) could yield far better results!

That's how the shot is meant to look, it was optically composited multiple times so by the time it reached a 35mm print it was something like a 6th generation copy. They could easily scan the camera negative for that shot (if it exists) and create an artificially grain-free version with all the original detail intact (including the wheels on the speeder!)

 Has that shot ever been seen or released with the wheels visible before?

No

Well I guess I'm too late to make an "or" joke.

Yep. I'm sorry for ruining it. :o(

Cool! Whereat?

 Just inside the Beltway, Bethesda, Silver Spring, Takoma...that area.

Ah, cool! That makes four of us so far (myself, you, timdiggerm, and PDB)!

I'm sorry to hear that, Bingo. :o(

Well, kids at the school I teach at live on that street, and I live 5-10 minutes from work... :(

That sounds like a recipe for Mischief Night disaster. How did 10/30 go for you this year?

Most fans, I would argue, don't have the ability nor the time to make their own fan edits.

They just want to buy a packaged BluRay or DVD, pop it in, and watch on TV.

True, but all these fans need is one adywan-esque figure to do their dirty work.
