They will be deleted. I can't make it anamorphic and keep the subtitles (only half the subs will remain). But I don't want to keep the subtitles anyway. I'll use english subs for the greedo and jabba scenes.

Change of plan!

I now have a pioneer cld-2950. I'm busy recapturing. I'll try to stay as close to the laserdisc image as possible. That means no sharpening and noise filters will be used.

Where in the movies on the dvd version is the image quality poor? I've got the PAL dvd version and I didn't notice this.

Actually, with no disrespect intended, he is not the owner of the X0 used for the original capture. That person wishes to remain anonymous, and we certainly owe him a great debt of gratitude as well. The more X0 owners, the better.

(Too bad that doesn't apply to anyone on the actual X0 team.

)

This is confusing.

I'm sure getting your players serviced and possibly tweaked combined with our modified PDI card and specialized hardware/software setup would make an even better capture. We'll definitely be in touch.

Does this mean you will do the capture again and all the cleanup work on the first capture is useless now? Basically you will start all over again?

This is funny, I have gone through much trouble to get the director's extended edition (I already had the PAL theatrical on dvd) and everybody here wants the theatrical edition.

Verbatim is a really good brand too, isn't it?

Generally speaking yes, but in dvd+/-r media it's not the brand that matters, it's the media code.

Hmmm, that sucks. I bought this LD set especially for the audio!!!! I didn't compare the audio but now you mention it I remember you made this comment before. Maybe I should not have deleted my Definitve Collection wav files... Maybe in version ~2~ I will capture 5 times and give the video the ><Citizen merge/average treatment ©®><, add the original crawl for a new hope and add both DC audio and mono track. All I have to do now is get my hands on a 2950!!!! A shame they cost so much...

I think the only difference is the LDs have english audio, not french or german (and no german crawl). So this was a lot easier to transfer. This transfer has the original audio and not the audio of another set. I don't know if you can hear the difference though.

I don't kow if the X9 is better than the X0. (probably the X0 is better otherwise there would be an X9 project

). But an 2950 is at least as good as an 925?

Moth3r, IIRC you wrote somewhere (and I can't find it anymore) you would sell your 925 and you wanted to buy a 2950. Why is that? Is the 2950 better? After all the 2950 was replaced by the 925. Not all change is good, but one would think in this case it is.

I really hope Lucas never releases the OOT, otherwise all preservation efforts are useless (well, you do learn a lot from transferring). What would the people of the X0 team think when Lucas releases the OOT tomorrow? Going through all that trouble, spending so much time and money... it would suck! I for one could buy a LOT of Star Wars dvds if I had the money I used to buy Star Wars LDs and rent LD players.

OK, maybe this is in every list of the differences between the OOT and the 2004 SE but I never noticed Darth Vader's eyebrows were removed. I just watched the 2004 dvd and I thought he looked very different somehow. Only when I compared it to the OOT I noticed he was missing his eyebrows.

And you just put something as valuable as that on the table? You might get scratches on the discs?!
