I know this is the Original Trilogy forums, but I found a clip of CGI Yoda from the Phantom Menace BluRay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KH1GOFUCHk
Unless it's just the same clip from the Ep3 bonus features, every other clip of that on YouTube was much shorter.
Look on the bright side...maybe it's just a hilarious joke Lucas is playing on the bootleggers, like when they named it Revenge of the Jedi to catch them in the act! Right?
.........right? =|
FYI: I know it's from the actual real-life BluRay and not Family Guy =|

It is pretty funny :)

I'm pretty sure this is from Family Guy's Blue Harvest, when the Tusken Raider jumps out in front of Luke.
Hey man, sorry about the delay. I was pretty sure I had these, I just didn't have time to track down the discs.
Just scanned through Night of the Sentinels (which is both parts, straight through) and it looks to be the original "sneak peek", which would explain why I noticed some missing bits when I watched it on Netflix.
I only checked a little bit of No Mutant is an Island, but it looks to be the original version. The art style is completely different between the two.
I downloaded all of these from KaZaA back in the day, so the quality's not that great (151 MB, 320x240 for NotS; 57 MB, 352x240 for NMiaI, both AVI files), but I'll get it uploaded for you.
It's gonna take about an hour, so I'll PM you when it's finished.
Edit: PM sent. Let me know if anything's wrong.
Oh, you mean like downloading the actual stream file.
I was thinking more along the lines of an analogue capture (analogue bypass I think they call it?).

The mother(aswell as the biggest) of all easter eggs:
A hidef 1080/24p transfer of the 77' edit of Star wars!
Well I can dream on ya know!
It'll be an up-scale of the GOUT :) In anamorphic this time!
I can see it now: "There! We fixed it! Now you have absolutely nothing to complain about!"
:D
Oh, I know. I didn't mean to sound impatient.

Um...I guess it depends on your definition of great.
Well, yes...but when it comes to the OUT...
pittrek said:
I hope that you fan editors are preparing yourself for correcting the Lucasfilm mess :-)
They'll just continue to use the old Laserdisc audio tracks, I'm sure ;)

As for ESB and ROTJ, you'll probably want to go from something from the PAL laserdiscs; I would suggest Moth3r's PAL laserdisc transfers (which can easily be converted to NTSC with a program like DGPulldown and luckily still found on tehparadox).
I don't know if the "Reinventing the Wheel" set is still out there, but it's already been converted to NTSC from Moth3r's PAL.
The GOUT for RotJ isn't half as bad as the other two movies, but it just so happened that I ended up burning Ep IV back when I had the whole RTW set, so I figured it'd be much easier to watch it on a TV that way (either that or the VHS).
The more I see of Puggo Strikes Back, the more I'm wondering if it and Return of the Puggo might become my new "go to" versions.
But like every other great OT transfer, it's not available yet =(
I prefer pre-93 stuff, personally.
Arnie.d's transfer of Ep IV, Adywan's theatrical reconstruction of Ep V, and Moth3r's Laserdisc transfer of Ep VI (the NTSC "Reinventing the Wheel" version) were what I watched last.
Why wouldn't it be possible?
I could do it, but it'd be off the Wii, and the best my capture card will do is composite in 640x240.
Not as exciting as my previous post, but we watched Troll 2 on Netflix the other night, and I believe it has the missing dialogue intact (pretty sure it's when the kid says "Thanks, sheriff." after being given the sandwich).

- Paramount / Universal did Gladiator for the appalling quality video.
They set up an exchange program, but did not concede that there was anything wrong with the first release, so it was not a product recall as such. I don't remember 20th Century Fox ever doing a product recall.
IIRC, they (Universal) did the same thing for the Back to the Future boxed set, regarding framing issues (just in Part II, if memory serves).
The Aluminum Falcon said:
Sorry but isn't the JSC and the SWE from the same master, at least for ESB and ROTJ...
Nope. Check out these screen captures, the JSC has a little less cropping on three sides (the right side looks about the same): http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Pre-93-Special-LD-transfers/post/483716/#TopicPost483716

Not as good as OT but still like them.
This one. Especially Eps 2 and 3, even though the CGI was atrocious.
Methinks I need to rewatch Ep 1 soon.

I then convinced the Department/twisted a lot of arms to change to some better projectors that were actually 16:9.
Wouldn't you have to keep readjusting everything when you switched between 16:9 and 4:3?
The colors would be a lot nicer if they weren't so washed out, though. You have to turn the brighness way down on the first movie, especially, or else all of the black level errors pop out like a sore thumb.
The Aluminum Falcon said:
If I recall correctly, it's the non-DVNR'ed master used for the JSC and SWE...
Nope, not the same master as the JSC.
It is the same master as the "no shrinking ratio" SWE, though.
Hey Adywan, have you tried your hand at test color corrections on any of these Blu shots yet?
Obviously there's going to be compression artifacts, but I'm wondering if Vader's saber can go back to red without fudging up the rest of the picture.
captainsolo said:
If it is then there is definite proof of an original existing in some kind of reference quality. They can't refute there is at least a copy of ROTJ floating about.

Might just be a coincidence, there was an outdoor showing of RotJ in Brooklyn last week as well.

...when Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson) wants to train little Anakin to be a Jedi, the Jedi Council says he is too old. Yet when Obi-Wan wants to train Luke, he is much older than Anakin was.
Good thing the Jedi Council wasn't still around to tell him that ;)

...the only "new" scenes which I remember from the 2004 DVDs were the new Emperor from TESB and the short "We'sa free" from ROTJ.
You're in for a memory refresher ;)
BTW Puggo, regarding cleaning up the reels, I've been curious about that. Is it too expensive and/or dangerous to clean the film itself, or are you just not interested?
I peed myself just a little bit.
