Ridiculous number of PM’s sent. Also, the new Unicode support lets people send back corrections directly via PM–thanks wayphat!
PM sent. Markup issues in the first post corrected (some things didn’t make it through the conversion), the layout is still a little wacky, but it’s better than it was.

That wasn’t HBO, that was my public access show! And I thought the Zorro mask would preserve my anonymity…
RE: Dutch subtitles, PM sent.
PM’s sent, or at least I think I sent them. I’m kind of horrified by what appears to be the new interface here, and hope it’s still under construction, and will improve soon.
Ah, that may have been my crazy conflation.

Thanks. I actually just found that native linux version of TSmuxer and am excited to get stuck in.
As for Irish language, I'll look into it. It's an interesting idea. We are an English-speaking country but there are many people who place a high importance on the language and work to further it's usage. To my knowledge, this social group does not have a big crossover with Star Wars fans but I'll ask around.
My experience is language geeks are always looking for an excuse ;)
That and from a language preservation/educational point-of-view, you could do a lot worse than Star Wars. That was the rationale behind the Navajo dub, I think.
IME, both tsmuxerGUI and ImgBurn work in Wine, and I think there's a Linux native version of tsmuxerGUI. So you should just be able to follow the Windows directions, without much modification.
And hey, I might as well ask--if you know any Irish language enthusiasts, who might be up to making subtitles for any reason at all--throw them my way. The more the merrier.
I dunno, but I think poita snagged an 8mm ESB print a while back, which is a reduction of the 70mm IIRC. No sound, though, IIRC, which is a shame.
Ah, OK. I probably caught some snippet regarding Empire or some other film where Technicolor isn't an option, and assumed he was working with other 35mm sources here too. Good to know.

That's true... I'll keep watching Harmy, no matter how uncomfortable he gets.
I watch a life-sized Harmy-doll I've made. That way it won't make him feel uncomfortable at all.
I think I saw you on HBO once.
CatBus and the Real Harmy? Yeah, that was me.

Well, a 5 second colour balance and a crop and resize.
Okay, cause I'm assuming we're dealing with pink vinegar reels or some such thing, right? It sounded for a second like you found a source that looked that good out of the (airtight, argon-filled) box.
It was Nannersplit, I think, and he's been out of the loop for a while. I'm guessing something came up that sidelined the project entirely.
It does fill up the mailbox pretty quickly--but I hadn't seen this sort of volume before now!
I'll think about it. The good thing about the request system is that I get a little feedback from users and occasionally I get to ask them for help. i.e. someone asked for Icelandic subtitles, I sent them a link, but added that nobody's requested them before, so I wasn't sure if there weren't any problems. Sure enough, a few days later, I get corrected files mailed back to me (thanks again, spaceghost). In the most recent batch of PM's, I requested corrections for any errors in the Greek subtitles. An anonymous download link and that sort of dialogue might never get started.
The quality of this project depends on recruiting people who can translate/correct the subtitles, because I really can't do that. We've had a HELP_WANTED file in the last few versions, but this doesn't seem to have recruited anyone yet. Recruiting straight from the people downloading the files may be the best way to go, as long as I think there are improvements to be made.
PM's sent. I got several requests directly through PM, too--looks like interest is definitely picking up!
PM sent.
You're welcome--I guess that probably means I'll be busy for a while ;)
PM sent. Requests for five different languages in one day? Was something recently posted somewhere about this?
PM sent.

Regarding the colour on ANH, do the earlier versions of the despecialized edition have significantly different grading from version 2.5?
IIRC, 1.0 wasn't graded against a reference. Obvious problems were fixed, I think, and some degree of correction was done to make different sources blend.
With 2.x, he attempted to match a Technicolor reference, and in each iteration, he tried to either better match it, or remove jarring transitions. I think the most noticeable grading change in 2.5 over earlier 2.x was the scene where Luke meets Ben, which looked almost monochrome it was so desaturated in earlier versions, and it got a little more color in 2.5.
You can look at the gallery to see some examples, between 1.0 and 2.x at least.
