Letterboxed to anamorphic video conversion
Time
-oops, I thought I was just logging in when I hit 'enter'

... So, ok, that's all great, but does anyone have tips for converting a laserdisc capture from 4:3 to anamorphic?

I've dubbed from LD to DVD before, and I realize there is no actual resolution/quality gain etc. when scaling up like that ... I just want to try it!

I capture with a Canopus ADVC 300 and use Final Cut Pro on a Mac, nothin fancy.

I get that I should scale it vertically by a factor of 1.333 (haven't see an obvious way to do that in FCP, though) but can I maximize the image quality with some other steps? De-interlacing, stuff like that?

Thanks.

Help Wanted: an MP3 of the 1.0 mono mix from the pre-ANH projects?
Time

Can somebody put up a torrent of those mp3s, or put 'em up on a filesharing site again?

I know the mono mix is on the Starkiller 1977 bootleg, but that's not being seeded ....

A friend of mine claims that originally, later in the movie after Luke says, "I'm gonna use the Force ..." somebody back at the base says, "You're gonna use the *what*?!" and that line was cut.

I say 'I don't think so'

Also, is the mono mix featured on the EditDroid DVD, or any others?

I've searched around but get all confused, with the different versions. Can someone set me straight definitively?

Very many thanks, indeed.
