)
I will be saving the original captured video (30gb) on a pile of blank DVDs, possiblity to do a multi-lingual version would be there but somehow I can't see myself doing it what with most people wanting the DVDs I'm making being able to read/speak English.

Ah, I see. Hm. Is there any way I could be of help? Shouldn't it be possible to use your work and add other audio/subtitle tracks? And maybe the opening crawls could be set by using the "angle"-function? I guess I have to read a bit up on DVD-authoring ... Anybody here using a Mac too and willing to point me where to start?

Thanks for the info. All I remember is that in the late 80s/early 90s I saw two different versions of the movie in a german video rental store. One cover said "Special Edition" and the other had nothing added to the title, and the owner told me it was supposed to be the original release version. But then again, maybe he was full of crap

So, if the original was never released on home video and as it would be kinda difficult to get hands on a 1977 35mm print ... how exactly would it be possible to recreate the original CE3K?

Is there a good site on the web dicussing the different releases and their availability?

Did Spielbergs “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” 1977-release-version ever came out on LaserDisc? And if so, anybody ever thought about a DVD-transfer? Couldn’t find anythimg here with a search.

This is ...

Beautyful.

Actually I'm on the verge of crying. Tears of joy.

That's from the German THX LDs I have, the title and text crawl are in German as is Greedo's subtitles, the end credits are the original English version.

I guess that is more than I can ask for

Is it possible (I don't know much about DVD-authoring) to put the opening crawl in some kind of chapter where you could choose which version you want to watch with the film?

Originally posted by: CitizenBecause I have the French & German dubbed laserdiscs I might, after I've finished my main trilogy, do a PAL set with English, French & German audio tracks,

Sounds nice

not sure I'd do the subtitles because I don't speak French or German and would probably screw them up.

Don't know if I could be of any help with the german subs? But me personally don't care for them. Could be interesting for hearing impaired.

Does anyone have the german title card/opening crawl (preferably sans "Episode IV") and would it be possible to author it in? I think in cinemas back then we even had german credits. ... there have to be some 16mm prints floating around somewhere ...

Sweet

Hope that works. Are there no problems with timing (PAL-Versions speed up) and are the movie edits exactly the same, framewise?

And what do you mean by "the existing transfer"? As there are so many out now

Do you still have your own project or are you now participating in X0?

Anyone ever thought about about doing a laser disc to DVD transfer of the german versions? Normally I don’t care about dubbed versions, but in this case I make an exception:

1. This is how I remember the movies as I first saw them at the cinema
1b which is the whole point of the preservation efforts, isn’t it?
2. The english original was mostly redubbed in post anyway
2a As I understand it this is one rare case of the original creators supervising the dubbed version.

And as I’m here:

Is the original “Making Of” of Star Wars (Ep IV) still available somewhere? It aired on TV in 1977/1978 and was available on VHS casettes in the 80s.
