Oh, Lord -- I hope not! It's about time that "foolscreen" nonsense just went away. I will never understand why someone would voluntarily watch only 57% of the picture that was shot for our viewing pleasure.

And a fullscreen (sic) release just adds three more items to the completionist's checklist...


Actually I wouldn't mind a fullscreen version also and I will probably buy it. Normally I hate fullscreen and I only want fullscreen versions of movies if there's no widescreen available. For the last 15+ years I've only seen Star Wars in widescreen. Then Grinder showed me a clip of his LD cap of the 1982? fullscreen LD of A New Hope. That clip was JUST as I remembered Star Wars. That clip REALLY brought back my earliest memories of Star Wars. The first time I saw Star Wars was in the mid 80s in full screen. So for Star Wars in fullscreen I'll make an exception!
Ofcourse I want the widescreen version too. Now that I think about it, I hate the PAL audio speedup without pitch correction so I think I'll have to buy 4 sets (both PAL and NTSC full and widescreen). I must be nuts

I'm so happy there's finally going to be an official release of the OOT. I think the quality will be good this time. I never hated GL. Hate is such a strong word and I can't imagine the people who say they hate(d) GL actually hate(d) him. Remember, without GL there would have been no Star Wars at all. I'm forever grateful that Star Wars exists.

And before the announcement of the official release we had so much fun making our LD to DVD transfers. For me it was really exciting buying LDs on ebay and waiting for the big packages of the Definitive collection and Coffret Trilogie to be delivered. And then finally when playing the LDs for the first time in your hard to get LD player. And ofcourse capturing. I learned so much about video editing and stuff like avisynth and virtualdub.

Man... I just LOVE Star Wars and finally were getting them on DVD!

(with Star Wars I mean the original trilogy, not the PT. I don't hate the PT either, it just isn't as good as the originals)

So this is probably a Master tape-specific flaw? I wonder if it's present on the German discs. Or the french discs with french audio. Well, I can check for myself ofcourse.

Looks like I still don't know what laserrot looks like.

Karyudo, if it wasn't clear before, after seeing your picture of your LDs in the "what's on your shelf" thread everybody must have known you are the spiritual creator of TooT and its biggest fan!!!

I'll have it on the shelf soon. It would be rediculous as a PAL user not to have that set.

All this Star Wars stuff on the shelve and you notice the FPAS ? But it's a nice toy. I played with it a lot. I always imagined it was apollo or starbuck's shuttle from battlestar galactica

I'm confused about laserrot. It read about it and it was described as "colored snow" in the picture. In the picture below you see in the upper left an artifact that I believed was laserrot.

Now the picture below is from a capture of a different LD set. But the same artifact is present. So it can't be laserrot then, can it? This is only one of many examples. Sometimes the artifacts are present in both sets sometimes in only one. Any ideas???

Time
Dance with Wolves
Forrest Gump
Willow
Star Wars (IV, V & VI)
Se7en
The Shawshenk Redemption
Legends of the Fall
Kill Bill (1 & 2 Japanese uncut, I hate the other versions)
Alexander
Gangs of New York
Magnolia
Jurassic Park
The Matrix
Terminator (1, 2 & 3)
Fight Club
Titanic
Pulp Fiction

Dances with Wolves is the best movie I ever saw. Willow and Star Wars (IV, V & VI) are my favorite movies of all time. I also really liked Titanic but the ending was just stupid, turning it into some sort of happy ending...
