Same here on Cookie Monster.  Anctufaalb forgot that he also pretended to be cain spaans as well.


I did not.
Did not forget, or did not sock?

 

Did not sock. I don't ever remember doing that. I would have included an apology to cain spaans in my public apology post if I did.

THX 1138 "preservations" + the 'THX 1138 Italian Cut' project (Released)

What is the advantage, in this case, that changed your approach?

Median1 and TooT both guarantee a rot-free result (under the assumption that if a pixel at [x, y] is rot in source #1, then it is not rot at [x, y] in sources #2 and #3).

g-force made a convincing argument that a TooT is likely to be noisier than a Median1 and I'm pretty sure I can provide a mathematical proof if that level of rigor is needed.

Spaced Ranger said:

Also, would these individual sources also be available in the project (for those wishing to try alternate methods)?

Yes. The first thing I plan to do is post the raws to Usenet.

Everybody, what is your greatest fear for episodes 7-9?

An hour-long fight sequence with an older Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa leading a troop of new Jedi carrying a rainbow of lightsabers to take on a half-robot SITH MEGALORD (who has been hiding all along) with ten arms, each of which has two hands holding its own lightsaber, who is hell-bent on wiping all of the Jedi from the universe.

I don't blame you at all.  I still have the par's and rar's for rotj97.  I am able to verify the files with the sfv and pars unlike sw97.  I'll provide any files that you request.  

On a related note, I believe I have discovered that it isn't my isp,usenet provider, or even user error.  It seems that the program I'm using for posting is buggy in that it causes crc errors.  I'm immediately switching back to the old program even though it posts slower.  The program is camelsystem powerpost btw.  I will be using powerpost 2000 from now on.

Try JBinUp.

The Troll Speculation Thread
Time

I was responsible for the pseudo-pat man (pat[space][space]man), TaggartFrenzy, and pseudo-coltonlolz (coltonlolz[space]) sock-puppet accounts.

I don't know why I engaged in this juvenile behavior. It started as a way to "troll the trolls" (or so I thought), but quickly spun out-of-control.

I didn't think about how my actions would damage the trust that this community is built upon; I was too hyper and caught up in the moment to reflect on what I was doing. Despite what my sock-puppet accounts indicate, I do care deeply about this community and am now in the right state-of-mind to implore you to accept my aplogies for inflicting this damage.

pat man: Please accept my apology for impersonating you. I took pat[space][space]man way too far and you never deserved being treated like that. I am sorry.

coltonlolz: Please accept my apology for impersonating you. I was particularly juvenile with coltonlolz[space] and I fear that it may have worsened some users' opinion of you due to the confusion. I am sorry.

Leonardo: Please accept my apology for egging-you-on with coltonlolz[space]. I knew nothing of your recent loss and the knowledge that I made this time harder for you is something I will regret for the rest of my life. I am sorry.

mods{Jay, Anchorhead, Moth3r, SilverWook}: Please accept my apology for making your respective jobs here harder to do. I am sorry.

originaltrilogy.com: Please accept my apology for undermining your trust with my confusing sock-puppet account shenanigans. The content (and intent, really) of my sock-puppet posts was unacceptable. I was nearly banned for this, so I have certainly learned my lesson. I am sorry.

I swear to never again take up a sock-puppet account or do anything of the sort. I'm done.

I'll continue to try to be a productive member of this community and I'll do my best to support it in any way I can.

Anthony

BTW, I sent Mavimao the 8mm audio files too.

So the 8mm mono is slightly different than the 16mm then?  Any sync plans for this?

The 8mm version that Puggo sent me is an abridged version that runs something like 30 minutes ...kinda like those read along books for kids, so it is impossible to sync. I can send it to you, Catbus, if you'd like. 

You can still sync it, but the missing parts will HAVE to be replaced with the stereo track.

... or the mono track from Puggo's 16mm print.

No 16mm mono's on this mix. Just the stereo track.

I'm confused.

IIRC, the 8mm TESB monomix is different from the 16mm TESB monomix, so why can't the missing pieces from the former be filled-in with the latter?

I captured my sources with a Hauppauge 2250, but I've just picked up a cheap ATI 550 and ATI HD 750 to try for comparison.

If you have some free time, then please review the ATI 550's 3D comb filter in my thread: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Comb-Filter-Testing/topic/15421/

There were probably still plenty of mono crackerboxes in 1983. I think ROTJ played at least one Drive In in my area back then. (They had those metal window speakers to the very end.) Maybe we'll get lucky with the audio of the 16mm print Puggo's working on.

I hope so!

Mavimao did an excellent job of GOUT-syncing the TESB monomix from Puggo's print. I wish Belbucus was still around so that he could work his magic on it.
