Had I known about this, I would have bid. And I would have paid more than $700 for it. That's nothing.
I'm just glad an OT user got it! :-)

Ugh. So are we only going to get facebook clips? Probably with the logo all over it?
I think Ady plans to release it along with ROTJ:R... or something.

From what I've gleaned from the thread, no. We're talking different mixing levels and dynamics, but the same content (defining content as the dialogue, SFX, and music).
Cool! So, as unique content goes, it's:
TESB: (1) 80/85; (2) 93
ROTJ: (1) 83/85; (2) 93
Correct me if I'm wrong, please!
Thanks!

I feel like in 2013 there really ought to be a better way to clean up after having a bowel movement. I mean, we wash our hands with soap and water to remove invisible germs, we have hand sanitizer bottles waiting in nearly every doorway, but we can't be bothered to come up with better methods for cleaning fresh poop off of our bodies beyond wiping at ourselves blindly with a dry square (or wad of squares).
I use these: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008EONH04
I've been using them for as long as I can remember. My parents do as well.
Instructions: Use just like toilet paper. Continue to use new ones until they come back completely clean. Flush.
7FN did the best preservation of the "Story Of" LPs. They're available on a.b.starwars (Usenet).
So, random question:
Do the TESB and ROTJ '85 mixes have any difference in content when compared to the '80 and '83 mixes, respectively?

People with that amount of over-scan should really throw their TVs away.
My Sony WEGA KV-30HS420 CRT 1080i HDTV has a good amount of overscan, but it beats the pants off of every other HDTV I've compared it to, including the recent line of LED HDTVs.
I haven't seen as amazing color reproduction on any set I've ever come across. It's great for Laserdiscs, DVDs, and Blu-rays.
I don't plan on throwing it out any time soon. ;-)
Threads about indifference!

DoomBot, dvdmike: I prefer the US theatrical cut as well.
lol I can never get these right, is the US Theatrical the one with S-Mart?
Yep!
Shop smart. Shop S-mart.
Love it!!!

The raw scans are about 300GB total or so I think, and it is only Star Wars at this stage. (Could be wrong re the sizes, I'm not at home and can't remember, but it is in that ballpark).
You can do whatever you like with them AntcuFaalb, I honestly don't mind.
Uploading the raw scans from my connection would take about 3 years :)
Cool, thanks!
I know your pain. Our previous ISP was terribly slow.
However, now that we have Verizon FiOS, I can get it uploaded to Usenet in <1 day (~3-4 MB/s upload to usenet).

Suggestion: Army of Darkness (1993)
The "Screwhead Edition" BD is terrible. EE gone wild! The HD-DVD is much better.
I can provide the HD-DVD, if needed.
We have like 2 BD's with better sources now
Wow, really? Which ones?

Man, that thing gets clogged faster than I can flush the stuff down ;) Should be working now.
And yes, that sounds like an excellent plan!
Cool, thanks! PM sent.

Vengeance goes against everything the Jedi stand for.*
*ideally
However, Luke was the only Jedi left and I think we'd all agree that his training was hardly complete, despite what Yoda said.
imperialscum said:
I would actually not change anything.
Same here, except...
I would revert the title to "Revenge of the Jedi".
I'm looking forward to the EE.
I loved the The Hobbit movie.
... and, yes, I read the damn book; multiple times, mind you.
The big question is: How did the previous owner get his/her hands on it?!

What's the restoration program? I don't know what it is, despite being given the ending.
I'd prefer not to mention it here. Check your PMs.

We now have our hands on this laserdisc. Had some problems playing it at first due to surface damage but that's been fixed. There is 29mins 52seconds of footage on it. Different takes and various angles from the Yoda hut scene and apparently stuff that wasn't in the final film. The audio is supposed to be pretty good and clean. I'll let you know more as soon as possible (it's with our guy in the USA at the moment so i haven't had a chance to see any of it yet).
I'm very excited for this!
Mavimao said:
Are you planning on using the stereo soundtrack found on the print?
Probably not. I'm not even sure if poita captured or recorded it somehow.
Mavimao said:
What is your goal on getting this completed?
I can't make an estimate, as I haven't received the HDD yet.
This is why I plan on getting the raws uploaded to Usenet as soon as I receive the HDD. I want it to be "out there" and available for several years to come.
Do those plans sound good, Laserschwert?
Laserschwert said:
Very nice!
@AntcuFaalb:
What exactly are you going to do to the scans?
The first thing I'll do (assuming it's OK with poita) is upload the raw scans to Usenet @a.b.starwars.
It's ~250GB, so I plan to upload it in multiple (e.g., 5) chunks.
After that, I plan to use everyone's favorite video restoration program (which ends in "Clean") to remove print damage and flicker, nothing more.
The gate-weave will not be removed. I'll leave it as-is.
Furthermore, I plan to use the GOUT (and other sources) to determine which print damage to keep. I'm very cautious, so my goal is to leave in any anomalies that aren't clearly damage to the Super8 film.
When that's done, I intend to GOUT-sync the video and release it as a 720p/23.976fps encode with the BigThree™ 1977 English tracks from Harmy's release ('77 5.1 h_h, '77 2.0 schorman13/h_h, '77 1.0 Belbucus/h_h) on a BD25.
It's going to need a BD25 with all that grain! ^_^

The fact that "laser"disc is analog still baffles me.Harmy said:
Don't you mean analog? :-)
Try to think of the laser in an LD player acting like the needle in a record player.
(One noticeable difference is that repeated plays of an LD don't cause the LD to wear out.)
Here's what LDs and CDs look like under an electron microscope: http://www.modeemi.fi/~leopold/AV/HowLDsLookLike.html
