Star Wars 1977 releases on 35mm
Time

Thanks for the suggestion, I am currently deciding whether to take it as a sign from the gods and bow out of the hobby, or start over.

Maybe just rearrange your priorities a bit? I know you’ve put far too much money into this hobby to just call it quits.

Good to hear that a lot of the data was non-vital, but I know it still sucks to lose everything like that. Maybe some of it can be repaired.

Not only will it then look phenomenal long into the future but people without the ability to use 80GB files can seek out a smaller file version.

Man, 80 gigs!? My torrent ratio would be absolutely smashed to pieces.

Hopefully, “long into the future”, Disney will wise up and give us something a little more official, on 7TB 8K BrownRay 4D hologram media.

And Netflix streaming.

However, I would like to ask how I can burn the film onto a disk. I was able to burn Harmy’s Despecialized Edition onto verbatim DVD+R DL disks but they’re max size is 8.5GB and this is 21GB.

Just re-encode it into a smaller file. Or wait for someone else to do it.

There’s a 720p re-encode that’s 9.5 gigs. I don’t know if that’ll fit on a DVD, but maybe if you delete the foreign language tracks it might?

I almost added to my post that the IP logs should support this, but I’m not so sure that they will: while ISPs will occasionally change the IP address on your connection, it remains static most of the time, but people don’t. They can now log in from anywhere using their phone, often on Wifi at a coffee shop or anywhere they happen to be, so there are probably multiple IP addresses associated with everybody’s account by now.

On the old popular PHPBB system, if you looked at someone’s profile (as a mod), it would show you their IP, and also which other users were using the same IP.

I’m actually not sure all this publicity around the Team Negative1 and Harmy releases is a good thing.

Harmy’s stuff is already fairly publicly known, I’ve seen it mentioned a few times “out in the wild”.

Watched this on my projector the other day and it was Star Wars bliss.

I would love to try that out, but it seems like a bit of a waste, since my projector only does 480p =)

Wazzles said:

The official Team Negative 1 release will use 35mm stereo, which should sound much better. Anything aside from mono English/Spanish tracks are left up to everyone else on OT that wants to do it themselves.

Hopefully they’ll get the GOUT syncing figured out, so nobody will have to convert any audio themselves =)

Team Negative1 - Star Wars 1977 - 35mm Eastman Vs Technicolot Theatrical Version (* unfinished project *)
Time

team_negative1 said:

  1. Base of the project is from Technicolor
  2. Missing frames and scenes will be from an Eastman Kodak print (Crawl, etc)

Just my opinion, but I think the Technicolor preservation should be exactly that, instead of replacing its '81 crawl with the original from '77. Was really cool to see it included in the Extras folder with SSE.

Man, you go a week or so without checking the forum and this is what happens =|

Density said:

Again, I appreciate the work. I just don’t know why we’re going through archaic channels like usenet, private trackers, and .rar when all that does is limit the number of people who have access to it. The only conclusion I could reach, and this has simply been bolstered by the response I was met with here, is a certain sense of elitism and desire for exclusivity among this community, if I may be so bold. You wouldn’t even have to just release it on a public tracker, just release it at the same time as usenet/whatever.

I don’t know how to link to specific posts on this new forum software, but scroll down to TN1’s post on this page: http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/team-negative1-star-wars-1977-35mm-theatrical-version-release-details-and-updates/id/14590/page/107

“limit[ing] the number of people who have access to it” is kind of the point =) Inevitably, it will reach anyone who needs it, on any virus-infested sea-faring public tracker you could desire. This is how things work around here.

mbaran said:

sorry to repeat myself, but can someone give me the one liner about the difference between this planned release and the already released grindhouse version, from the same team?

This release is the Grindhouse version, but with a lot of automated digital cleanup applied to the picture. A separate “Silver Screen Edition” will be coming later.

Info Wanted: Unaltered Star Trek TOS in HD? does an HD version of the unaltered original Star Trek series even officially exist?
Time

joefavs said:

…some years back the original Trek was given the Lucas treatment, and all the external space shots that were originally done with models were replaced with CGI.

We started watching TOS on Netflix a couple years ago, and I was thinking “Man, these planet effects look really good for a 60s TV show.”

Oh yeah, that looks way better (looking at the screens).
Man, I forgot how weird they made Joey Pants look in this movie.
