Where did you get your 35mm soundtrack from, LD?

I don't know how much work you've done on the soundtrack so far, but I'd suggest using the '97 SE soundrack (70mm) for most of the edit. And then all you'd have to edit out would be the "Alert my Star Destroyer....." and the one sound effect of Vader shuttle landing, and "you were lucky to get out of there." Cause the 97 soundtrack is of higher quality, it should easily match the 2004 print, and editing those pieces above would be way easier then trying to correct music cues.

That is unless you want the 35mm soundtack for a reason I'm not aware of.

I find this fascinating in an odd way, where can I find the 70mm soundtrack as opposed to the 35mm? Cause I want to make note of all the changes.



EDIT : Never mind, I realize that I already have the 35mm soundtrack and the 70mm.

As I understand, the 35 was used for most LD releases and the 70 was used for the SE, right ?Does anyone have a ESBOT LD that features the 70mm soundtrack? That way you can get a 70mm without SE BS on it.

ocp, when ESB was originally edited, the editor totally screwed with the John Williams score during the scene where Leia, Chewie, Lando, and the Droids are trying to chase down Boba Fett in a last ditch effort to save Han right before he takes off in the Slave I. I assume you have Wookiee Groomer's split screen edition of ESB, and if you FF to that particular scene you can listen for yourself, and hear the difference. It's totally out of whack, basically. With the original cues it takes away from the tenson of the scene and just sounds like a real hackjob edit, the music just stops pre-mature right after Fett takes off and leaves the scene feeling flat, when it should be tragic. The music is messed up like that in a few other scenes too.

The only one I can think of off the top of my head though is right before Luke confronts Vader, in the Carbon Freezeing Chamber, you hear a "gong" from an abandoned music cue that scored the fight scene between Luke. Wisely, Lucas chose to not score the LS duel, but you can still hear a remnant of that cue when first Luke rises into the unlit freezing chamber right before Vader says "the force is with you young Skywalker,...." This cue is out of place, and just sounds stupid.

Although, these screwy cues are techincally part of the OOT they are legit screw-up's, none the less, and if your interested in doing little things like reversing Pietts credetials to the correct side of his shirt ect ect, I just thought I'd bring that to your attention.

All the music cues were corrected for the SE release of ESB.

I actually got a copy of the movie a few months back, but never got a chance to comment. I'd like to say good job ocpmovie, because this is a quality dvd. Unless I knew where to look, most of the time I doubt I would know what is/isn't LD as opposed to DVD footage, because it is blended very well.

Mm, well, I actually kind of like the way the 2004 DVD looks, though it's a lot lot lot different from any version before. I like the contrastiness and the bizarre bright popping colors, it just looks interesting. I had to brighten it up as the real version is too dark, but it was definitely a conscious choice to use that version.


My only gripe about your DVD...It's too bright. I guess it's a matter of personal taste, but I found that when I compared the official DVD to yours the black level was a little high. In certain spots it makes the star fields look washsed out, but very slightly. Furthermore, the few times that I did notice discrepancies between LD footage and DVD footage it was because of the brightness. It seems as if the LD stuff was a little too bright, and I think darkening it up would hide any flaws, albeit minor flaws.; especally where you have any LD footage that takes place in space.

I don't mean to pick anything apart, just a minor observation.

editing VOB's?

I want to do a number of things actually. For one, just want to remove Jabba from ANH, and the few frames that show greedo firing.

Later on I'd like to re-insert Boba's old voice in ESB. I addition to re-inserting "your lucky you don't taste very good," and the ultra bad-ass, "Bring my shuttle." Mabye even clip the shots of Vader's Lambda shuttle too.

Not to mention reinserting the original Lapti Nek and Shaw.

If its possible I'd also like to retouch some of the bad saber shots too.

Any idea on how to do all those, without losing quality. That's my biggest concern...quality. And doing it all for free.

Does anyone know of a way to edit a VOB file? I want to continue with my own OOT project, and I don't want to have to convert my VOB files to AVI (to edit in Virtual-Dub) and then have to reconvert back to VOB when I want to burn to a DVD. Anyone have any ideas?

Oh and does anyone know of a good program for burning a DVD?
