I couldn't get on from 5:25 to 10:25 EST this morning. Facebook confirms it wasn't just me.
Additionally, I couldn't get on at 2AM EST this morning.
All files have been copied. I plan on running md5deep on my copies tomorrow evening so that I can compare.

Thanks! :-)

Maybe he plays the armour of Darth Vader, possessed by the spirit of a long-dead Dark Lord who was imprisoned within the armour when it was built and reawakened when Luke cremated Vader on Endor.
LOL!

but you do get the analog capture capability.
... which is the best I've ever seen; if you have a rock-solid signal, that is. :-)

If someone can point me to a good place to put it, I'll try to upload the tv spot. :)
WeTransfer (we.tl) is fantastic for quickly uploading a large file.
Mavericks said:
Wait, how 1080p can be upscaled to 4K? First of all if the signal is Full HD then - when transmitted - regardless of what def a receiver is it will still be 1080p.
Correct.
Mavericks said:
When Blu-ray is played on so called "4K" display the image is downscaled to High Definition.
With all due respect, this reads as nonsense.
Displaying an AxB image on a fixed-pixel NxM display where A<N and B<M requires an upsampling algorithm. This is what danny_boy means by "upscaling".
JEDIT: I think what you're trying to say is that an HD image on a UHD display is still HD. If this is true, then the word "downgrade" would be more appropriate for what I quoted above.

@ AntcuFaalb
BTW, is your new technique for hi-quality laserdisc capture of THX 1138 ready for prime-time? (I'm excitedly looking forward to your final set-up and it's results.)
SIGNIFICANTLY better equipment has come my way recently due to the generosity of a good friend of mine.
I'll post more details when it arrives next Monday/Tuesday.
Excited! >.<
Update: I'm running md5deep on the full sws8 directory tonight. It's running faster than I thought it would.
Doing this will allow me to verify that the files on my HDD (after the HDD->HDD transfer) are identical to the ones on poita's HDD.
I will also include the file with the Usenet upload so that downloaders can check the files they've downloaded. This is much better than the CRC32 you get with, e.g., SFV.

If you have something you're just excited to share, share it here!
My wife and I are expecting! We're nine weeks in. Only two days of puking and very bad nausea, and we're wondering if it's just a stomach bug that has been going around. If that was it, then so far this is the mildest pregnancy thus far. Way to go, honey!
Congratulations!!! :-)

AntcuFaalb are you doing all the cleanup work? How long will this take?
Yes.
My plan is to get the raws up on Usenet as quickly as possible. After that I'll be doing HDD->HDD transfers for interested members.
Finally, I plan to tackle the cleanup work using an automatic+manual workflow with a herein-unnamed (PM me for details) program.
We've a baby due in late April, so I've no idea how long the cleanup part will take. I'd estimate 6 months to a year for a decent job, but I can't make any promises.
What do you think of the Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle (Thunderbolt)?
It can supposedly capture 8-channel HD audio via HDMI in addition to, of course, HD video.
This has excellent analyses of timey-wimey stuff in movies.
IcePrick said:
When capturing audio from VHS or Hi-Fi VHS, is it enough to just record it through Line In? Or is there a better way (in terms of retaining sound quality)?
Questions:
1. What audio chipset do you have?
2. What software do you intend on using to record?

Any outages since?
Error messages would be helpful if you can copy/paste those.
In my case, at least, the outages don't result in any error messages. I can't even traceroute to originaltrilogy.com when they're happening.
To see if it's a DNS-related issue, I'll try pinging the IP if/when it happens again.
I'm going to run a S.M.A.R.T. self-test (smartctl -t long) on my new WD10EZEX before copying the data over.
I've already done a single pass of badblocks -wvs with it, so the aforementioned S.M.A.R.T. test should (hopefully) expose any issues.

P.s.s. Not everyone knows how to use private messaging here...which is silly, I know, but, you know, guy might have actually been trying to help out
True, true. The "dickpic" thing is what made me think he'd get banned; mostly because it's in his first post.
ChibiMAK said:
Sorry that this is my first post, but I thought you might want to know it's extremely easy to find and download what I assume are the videos you sent harmy. I also found a dickpic that I hope was meant for Winnie cooper.
I've no doubt that the Ban Hammer™ will be slamming down soon.

IIRC, 35mm prints of the SE have surfaced in the past.

I think it's worthwhile to point out that many (most, perhaps) people say "original trilogy" without meaning "original unaltered trilogy".

Well, it looks like it was DVD-sourced in the beginning, and then he got film?
Yep!
How can it be dvd sourced if he's been doing it for 15 years? Laserdisc maybe?
IDK what he did before 2004, but his original plan was to "fix" the 2004 DVD release. Possibly via a Harmy-esque despecialization.
Take a look at the archive on his website.
JEDIT: You might be right about the Laserdisc source. See: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/StarWarsLegacy-com-The-Official-Thread/post/72578/#TopicPost72578
