Harmy: Do you have any idea what the specs of your new machine will be? Can you share them here, please?

Wow, this is going faster than I expected. Current balance 14,696.37CZK. ALMOST THERE! THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!
Yay!
Does anyone know if the CAV LDs of The Rescuers and The Rescuers Down Under are open matte?
Pre-recommendation Questions:
1. Do you have a TBC or something similar that puts out a really stable signal?
2. Do you have a separate RAID Array or SSD for capturing?
3. Do you require a 3D comb filter?
4. What's your budget like?
The colors of the 1990 LD definitely match my taste better than the 2013 DVD.
Now, whether or not it's more accurate (I hope so!) is an entirely different story.

you can try if you'd like, though
I have. It gets really ridiculous, but interestingly reaches a steady-state after a few iterations. I think the number of iterations before the steady-state depends on the complexity of the input sentence.
Man, now I wish my Blu-ray player came equipped with a "Backstroking" feature; preferably one with a strength dial that goes to 11.
Meh... wishful thinking. :-/
Since the English->Chinese->English translation cycle is inherently lossy, multiple passes should result in even more ridiculous translations.
Try it out!

I don't frequently do PayPal transactions, so can anyone more experienced answer a question I have? I know that PayPal likes to take a cut from most all transactions they process, but a few years back I paid someone using some option worded along the lines of "personal transaction" or "debt payment"... something like that, and it let me transfer an exact amount to the other person without PayPal taking anything. Is that option still available? It'd be nice for Harmy to get all of the money we donate to him.
Kinda. The option is "I'm sending money to family or friends" and with it you'll incur the fee (3¢ on a $5 donation).
I already notified Harmy on Facebook, but I figure that I should mention that I donated here as well, so...
Good luck, Harmy! Thanks for all of your hard work!
This is an amazing project! Thanks, althor1138!
Please release your 97SE GOUT-sync script! :-)

This is an amazing piece of UNIX folklore.

What references does Empire have? LPP stills maybe?
There's a Super8 print (not Derann) with pretty good color. The 1985 CAV P&S LD release is pretty good as well.
Neither of these are truly "accurate" of course, but they're most likely better than many other sources.
I just noticed that the new post editor initializes with a leading space, but only on some browsers. Weird. o_O
Feallan said:
How do you figure out original colors, with prints faded so much?
You have two options:
1. Grade to a known reference
2. Grade so that it "looks good" to you
A combination of (1) and (2) is probably best when a truly accurate reference (such as an IB Technicolor print) doesn't exist.

Here's the ones I know:
ANH:
1. Governor Tarkin
2. Tagge ("until this battle station is fully operational,")
3. Motti ("you're sad devotion to that ancient religion"...)
4. Daine Jir ("She'll die before she'll tell you anything.")
5. Nahdonnis Praji ("There were no life-forms aboard.")
6. Hija ("There goes another one.")
7. Bolvan ("Hold your fire.")
ESB:
1. Admiral Ozzel (the officer whom Vader chokes when the Imperial Starfleet arrives at Hoth)
2. Admiral Piett (Vader's Admiral following the choking of Ozzel.)
3. Captain Needa (Vader "accepts" his apology.)
ROTJ:
1. Jerjerrod ("We shall double our efforts.")
2. Piett
3. Gherant ("We're not going to attack?")
Thanks!
US Customs sucks. My best guess is that it's their fault.
It took months and months to receive the Droids PAL DVDs from Video Collector (Europe).
The worst thing about it is that it's unpredictable. o_O
I'm sorry if there already exists a better thread for this, but I'm too lazy to try to find one right now. ^_^
Is there a comprehensive list of the leaders in the Empire for each of the films in the trilogy; e.g., Captain Needa and Admiral Piett?
I'm looking for something like:
Episode X:
1. Captain CockBlock is force-choked by Darth Vader and replaced by Admiral AssHat.
2. ...
My wife and I have watched the films several (thousand) times, but we can't seem to get good a understanding of who's who and it's driving us crazy.

Try it with the 82 P&S lol.
How crazy is the cadence on that one?

Can't I sleep in on a Saturday just once without waking up to a mess around here?
And the site errors today are even more annoying than the trolls.
What site errors are you experiencing?
poita says that the IVTC function included with Final Cut Pro X is excellent. I'm going to try it with your raws to see how well it can cope with the wacky cadence changes.

I do :-D X
You get a permanent free pass, Dr. Bing Owings.
We love you. I love you.
And most of all... your sister's quiche loves you.

Back to millenniumfalcon.com where I will talk about how big of douche bags users at OT.com are.
Do you intend on writing posts about us with this same kind of broken English?
Ah, amazing! Another Jethro Tull fan, perhaps?!
Jethro Tull is my favorite band!

Does anyone still want those samples? I still have them in tact, I haven't responded lately since my harddrive crashed and I was worried that I had lost everything in it, but it's all been recovered safe and sound now.
Yep! I do.
I'm glad to hear that you've managed to recover everything.
