I also have the sound menu, which isn't a motion menu, it's fixed. Do you know offhand how to put a time limit in DVD-Lab on a fixed menu?

If they need it to automatically play from that menu because they don't have a remote, how did they get to that menu in the first place?

I would say the bigger offender is the incredibly lossy video file these are taken from ;)

He does know people who can restore VIDEO, however...

There's 35mm footage in his latest release ;)

But I was only joking.

as i mentioned, its someone that

isn't on this board..

 Ah, so it's Mr. Thief Cobbler himself ;)

I don't even know what that means =|

I own the DVDs for seasons 3 and 4.

I could give it a shot, though as usual, I'm low on HDD space =|

PM sent, Puggo.

Yeah, I'm not sure that any of us need a bootleg of the DVD + commentary that we already have =)

Also from that article:

"... if we were going to take this movie and cut it up into 2,000 separate pieces, we had an opportunity to upgrade what those 2,000 separate pieces are. It seemed like we had a perfect opportunity to go back and create a cleaner, sharper and purer version of the movie."

 

It's kind of discouraging to think they had the opportunity to rework the film and they didn't fix any of the big problems.  I guess Lucas really liked the way it turned out, despite all the criticism??

 Well it is what it is. I suppose all of the changes they added for the DVD release were sufficient .

!!

Are they the straight AC3 tracks?

And you only have seasons 2 and 3?

These ESB samples are looking very nice, great job of the color timer, I think this was also just a first pass on it, am I right -1? Keep up the good work! :)

 Yep, those are all really old shots.

if we were REALLY CRAZY, (as if we aren't already),

we would get it printed back to 35mm film..

 Print it to 16mm and then Puggo can preserve it @_@

This is all just digital cleanup, not the FilmGuard, right?

 I was going to make that joke, but didn't think the non-blog readers would appreciate inside jokes ;)

Though I suppose the joke's pretty easy to "get" as it is.

He's going to peddle it on street corners, in beat up cases labeled "Starkiller".

You are mad.

TBC: very funny!

Someone needs to ban me from making "jokes" when I need sleep this badly.

With regards to the red-tinted print, there was an article not too long ago (I can't seem to find it now) about the print they had at the National Film Registry. Their's was pink as well, but they used some sort of color correcting magic and made it all work.

 This team is already equipped with said magic ;) Though IIRC, the pink film that's spliced into their main print isn't as pink as this other reel they're testing on.

I think it looks kind of naked without the "Episode IV" in the crawl.

And if George didn't plan on there being any sequels, why did he come up for an idea for a low budget sequel in case the first movie didn't do well enough?

I don't know why people are so intent on calling George a liar and saying that he never planned certain things the way he did, just because he didn't write them down in a published script draft. I've got tons of ideas in the back of my head that I've never published or even written down.

Should we go back and change the title of every movie that is eponymous with the franchise which it spawned?

 Personally, I kind of thought it was dumb that they changed the title of Pitch Black to Chronicles of Riddick: Pitch Black (only on box art, etc., not in the film itself), but then the second live action film is still just called "Chronicles of Riddick".

I don't think any lawyer could be helpful in a situation like this. I don't even think a "grey area" could be found.

Yes, there's definitely some dedication going on here.

haha, actually, the deleted scenes from the bluray are

interesting to me..

 Funny enough, I still haven't watched the deleted scenes...

And a DVD is a lot easier for lame people like me to watch =|

i have a feeling there's going to be a lot of

updated projects that will incorporate this

release as a newer standard.

 I'm pretty excited. I've had some ideas for a while for a project like this: I'm going to put little CGI robots all over the place. Maybe some extra Stormtroopers riding dewbacks...I might even fix that Han/Jabba deleted scene and throw that in there.
