Wait, I'm confused about somethin' - Molly, you said that your version has no subs, but werent the subs burned-in to the MM edition, or did I miss something there?

EDIT

Ah, nevermind, theyre not - they didn't look generated though, makes you wonder why studios do those really awful shitty looking generated subs when one person can do that much better on their home PC.

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

True. Keeping with that, and since this thread was started as a request for the mono mix MP3, does anyone have an MP3 of the original 77 (not 85 or 93) stereo mix? I've been screwing around with the mono mix myself and can't do much with it without another source, and while I'm using the 85 mix from the MM DVD, I'd like a copy of the stereo mix as well for archival purposes if I ever end up getting the mono mix up to snuff and a DVD made. And I don't suppose *anyone* has a copy of the 4.2 (six-track) mix, short of having an old 70mm reel?

And I know someone mentioned the necessity to transfer this to 5.1, but that would require the creation of a whole new channel. My copy of Tora! Tora! Tora! has 4.1 I believe (or 4.0), so wouldn't it be better preservation-wise to just compile the two LFE tracks into one and make it a 4.1 track, rather than creating a whole new center-speaker track? This is all assuming anyone can ever get their hands on the 4.2 mix...

But I believe that the "Close the blast doors" line was redubbed for the SE.

I've noticed that this has not been addressed:

Since this is from the DE, does Empire have the Leia welding segment or not?

Well, I don't think that just cutting that line qualifies it as the original 2.0 mix; there is a laserdisc that includes the original theatrical 2.0 mix and that should be used, along with the mono mix.

Awesome! Can't wait.

But what options does this disc have? I thought you said it only had the mono soundtrack and one version of the crawl, so what good would a menu do other than "play" and "chapters"? I'd say, if that's all you'd have, go without a menu, a la TR47's set.

Well, it doesn't happen on my Toshiba either, and I'll tell you this, the picture looks goddamn amazing on my Toshiba set, while the dot crawl is horrible on my RCA setup (I noticed I said Sony earlier - I'll correct that).

Well, anyway, aesthetically I must say I quite like your choice of art for Star Wars - very unusual and unique. Empire is okay, and I don't like your Jedi choice at all, but to each his own - the SW one kicks ass though!

The player that does that over here has no such option...it just does it...but not on the official DVD's with nine different language angles...

Has anyone noticed that on some players when you play the movie, a large ANGLE 1/2 shows up on the screen and doesn't go away till after the angle-switch option is gone? It's really annoying, but only does it on some players.

Sure you're not mistaking the 84 one for the 85 one? The packaging is the same.

I'll take that! The Mysterious Mysteries video looks amazing on my TV, but not on the living room one...but it's so much better than the Dr. Gonzo set that I threw it out.

Not necessarily; that's the way I did my set, though now I am using my own copy of the Mysterious Mysteries Edition (i.e. just the movie with the original crawl and 85 soundtrack), and having it A NEW HOPE would be incorrect.

I just watched it on another TV/DVD player, and I noticed the quality was significantly lessened - on this other setup the dot crawl is awful, but on my 20" Toshiba flatscreen TV and Toshiba DVD player going through a component output there was none. The other is an older RCA 48"(?) projection TV with an RCA DVD player going through an S-Video cable. I have to say, it looks bad with the dot crawl, but with a better setup and no dot crawl it looks amazing.

Okay. I just threw my Dr. Gonzo SW away. The picture quality of this blows that out of the damn water, and all the other features are awesome. Until I get the Zion set, this will be my definitive disc.

Where's Empire and Jedi?

Anyway, if and when I decide to do a purist version (which may be sooner than you think

), I'm going all the way and doing everything possibe to make it look and sound like the '77 version. Sorry to confuse you. My ultimate edition ANH DVD would have both the purist version with original crawl, mono track, and no video touch-ups save for your basic noise filters and spot removal, as well as the touched up version with fixed effects and 5.1 audio.

All right! That's exactly what I'd want - I'd like a purist version and an updated "capturing the experience" version. That's a great idea.

Do I detect a hint of bitterness here?

When I complained about your effects fixes it was because what you are doing with the pre-ANH crawl idea is preserving the original, and you should preserve everything else as well. If you were releasing not a pre-ANH version, I wouldn't care about that at all. Then there are people who say no matter what it has to be like it was released, but I think if you're going through all the trouble of making one thing identical to its release, why fix something else that was "broken" upon release?

As for Mike's alterations, let me say this: if he was distributing these, I'd get them in a heartbeat. This would be the ideal version of Star Wars in my opinion, but I think history should also be preserved as best as possible.
