hmm...I'll check.

Here's the number to call Fox to ask them about the replacement disc for ANH.

1-888-223-2FOX

Now, in exchange for that, could you put your ANH DVD in your DVD-Rom drive and tell me the time stamp of the files in the Video_TS directory

Also, where's the glitch section in DVD file??

Well they both worked for me. But they don't skip on all players.

K, I used this program to compare them: http://www.tgrmn.com/index.htm?camp=goog_oth

I put one on my DVD Rom drive, and one on my DVD-R drive.

Both were identical according to that program!!

Can anyone tell me the time stamp of the good and bad version of the disc that they have?

Idea: Possible to restore the Han/Greedo scene using the ANH DVD?
Time

A thought came to me. What if one had a double layer burner, copied the vobs from the ANH DVD, then edited out that horrid CGI scene where Han and Greedo fire at the same time, and reburn to a DL disc. Then you’d in effect have the same Han/Greedo scene from 1977-1997 except it’d be in DVD quality and on DVD!

I think Ash and Jay pretty much said it all. The faces set is definitely more colorful, but in my comparrison shots, it looks like the black levels are a little lighter on the faces set as well. I'll post some pics when I get home from work.

Capturing from LD's is not an easy process and there is a lot that goes into making the video look good. Since it is an analog process, you can get things like video noise and ghosting introduced into the signal quite easily if you're not careful (and even if you are). But with the amount of filters and color correction tools available, it is possible to make that analog capture look incredible on a 65" digital plasma screen.

To capture my LD's, I use a Pioneer CLC-V2600 player. As far as I know, it was a commercial model and one of the best quality available. As a former home theater salesman, I use only high quality Monster video and audio cables as well as a high-end Monster power center to minimize any signal noise (no sales pitch intended ). It works wonders and makes processing the video much easier.

The other thing that hasn't been mentioned is the issue of "laser rot". For those of you who have LD players, you know what I'm talking about. I don't know if it has something to do with the age of the discs, or just the way they were manufactured, but a lof of the Definitive sets out there have rot on certain discs. The set I borrowed from a friend is almost worthless because rot spots are inherent on over half of the discs. I've also seen some of this on the Dr. Gonzo dvd's.

Something I've recently discovered and will be doing for my DVD's is a process called TOOT, which basically compares three different sources of video to eliminate any rot spots or other noise. I'm currently looking for one more set of the faces trilogy so if you've got a set you wouldn't mind letting me borrow in exchange for a set of DVD's, send me a PM.


wow. Looks like your version will be the ultimate OT DVD!

So for those of us who want it, how much will it cost?

The only dual-layer release out there filled the extra space by including the extras on the movie discs themselves when instead they should have devoted the lot of it to just the picture and sound IMO. Let´s hope MeBeJedi, Laserman and Zion will provide us with dual-layer, artifact-low anamorphic transfers giving us the best possible rip of those Star Wars laserdiscs.

peace,

I guess it's also possible that given the source a double layer won't really do much good.

Yea I kinda wonder why so many go for the definitive version just because the package looks nicer than the faces. When in fact the faces have every advantage over them, including but not limited to less changes and the guaranteed ESB Leia footage.

I think I'll probably wait for MeBeJedi and Zion to finish their version before going for another set of bootlegs.

Can you post some info on the versions your doing? What's the source for each? Will they be anamorphic? Single or double layer DVD? Is the Leia footage there? C3PO line? etc etc. Thanks in advance.
