A nice DVD of this would be awesome, and if youre not interested then sorry

Something of better quality would be great too as well but if a DVD is gonna be it I would still be interested

And nyc, the capture is/would be the same (if I read it right on what is being done) so if the reel messed up during the capture it would make no difference if it was for an SD or HD project....cause if theyre using a modded scanner, then the scans are gonna be in HD

I really hope adywan chimes in here and you guys can discuss a "borrowing" of materials because IMO, he is one of the best people to take this project forward and we know that we would get results

LET US KNOW IF HE DOES OR DOES NOT CONTACT YOU ABOUT THIS -1, THIS WOULD BE RELEVANT TO EVERYONES INTERESTS

1. Put down your religion as "Jedi" when filling out any official forms?
   No, Id rather keep my extreme nerdness on the down-low rather than write it down and remove all doubt
   
   
2. Attempted to "use the force" to get at that out-of-reach object, instead of getting off the sofa, walking over and picking it up?
   Yes, just like in Mallrats....every once in a while I give it a shot
   
   
3. Said "I am your father" in a deep voice to your kids?
   No kids, thank god....leave that to others, but I have said it to the ladies of course
   
   
4. Found out if you can hold your breath underwater for as long as Luke did in the Death Star garbage masher?
   Smokers lungs, that should answer this question
   
   
5. Said "you are beaten" after thrashing an opponent in FIFA 09 or some other sports game?
   In another game, Yes!....mainly NES
   
   
6. Thought "the force is strong in this one" when stuck behind an annoyingly slow driver with no opportunity to overtake?
   Not with a driver, but with fellow friends in certain situations
   
   
7. Made humming/buzzing sounds while swinging a toy sword or broom handle around?
   Anyone who says they haven't done this is a liar
   
   
8. Referred to a computer or robot as a "droid"?
   Yes, just waiting for it to come alive and tell me how many different forums of communication it can do
   
   
9. Thought how cool it would be to have a targeting computer in your car?
   Not possible with all these harsh driving laws, soon its going to be against the law to smoke and drive
   
   
10. Attempted to "Jedi mind trick" someone into getting your own way?
    Everyday, without question....and when they do it to me I say "Im not falling for your Jedi mind tricks, thats for the weak minded."
    
    
11. Use Star wars numbers for my PIN / PASSWORD etc
    No
    
    
12. Tried to convince your partner that if/when you have kids they should have star wars based names?
    No kids, thank god....leave that to others

On the subject of Star Wars:
-1, I hope you dont turn this into an x0 thread like it once may have been considered in the past, Im glad a fan has these materials, but if you do not feel that you are up to the challenge or personal life is getting in the way, please pass on the materials "in good faith" to one of the established member like adywan....where you would at least know your materials would be put to good use and you know you would receive said materials back after the work was complete

On the subject of relationships:
Its different strokes for people, but I always found this this rule to be useful

They have open registration sometimes, I think like one day out of the week, not hard to get into

The problem is not with AVG, its with your computer...

You either
A. Tried to update it via an installer from their site
B. Tried to get the Pro version installed from "wherever"
C. Messed around with the licensing

Either way it should be an easy fix, just go into the registry and update the key to a new "free" one

or

Format/Reinstall, which is probably needed anyway

So whats the problem with using AVG? It is free after all...

In before...

Different master sources
Talks of DVNR smear
X9 vs X0
LD vs GOUT DVD

lol, still seems like a great project just as long as you are willing to put alot of post processing into it to make the end product very good looking

Good luck man, hope everything goes well for you and Ill be following the thread

My favorite was the Return of the Jedi Pop Up Book

This news has been out for a while

Future films

Around the release of Alien Resurrection, Joss Whedon wrote an Earth set script for Alien 5, which Weaver disliked.^[9] Before 20th Century Fox greenlit Alien vs. Predator, James Cameron had been working on a story for a fifth Alien film. Alien director Ridley Scott had talked with Cameron, stating "I think it would be a lot of fun, but the most important thing is to get the story right."^[10] In a 2002 interview, Scott's concept for a story was "to go back to where the alien creatures were first found and explain how they were created", however he has not shown interest in pursuing the project.^[10] On learning that Fox intended to pursue Alien vs. Predator, Cameron believed the film would "kill the validity of the franchise" and ceased work on his story, "To me, that was Frankenstein Meets Werewolf. It was Universal just taking their assets and starting to play them off against each other...Milking it."^[11] On December 5, 2008 Sigourney Weaver hinted in an interview with MTV that she and Ridley Scott are working on an Alien spinoff film which will focus on the chronicles of Ellen Ripley rather than the Aliens.^[12]

In May 2009, Carl Rinsch signed on to direct a prequel, which Ridley Scott and Tony Scott will produce. Tony Scott said filming may begin later in 2009.^[13] However, Fox would prefer Ridley Scott direct the film.^[14] In July 2009 it was confirmed that Ridley Scott would be returning to direct an Alien prequel with Jon Spaihts writing the script.^[15]

I say return the plasma and go get an LCD......but thats just my two cents

Format/Reinstall

Id advise to not get a plasma and go for an LCD

Now that FEDS is coming to an end, I will be working on this project next.

A kinda of Meatballs movie, Gorp stars Dennis Quaid and has never had a DVD release

More details to come soon

Movie should be done within a few days, heres a sample of what the menus and cover will look like

This is crazy (as in good crazy) how much work you have and are putting into this

I cant wait until you get all the hardware mods complete so that you can start to work on the films themselves and we can see how awesome the images will look

Keep it up!

Naa man, he specifically states that only 1 print remains and that this was used for the DVD and those screencaps are taken from the DVD where they show what the print looked like before and after the preservation they made...although I still call bullshit on ONLY 1 print remains, I bet some theaters and/or private collectors have this print

Watch the intro, if you dont have it, I can up the VOB, its only 30-35 MBs.....but its the same print being used

The way Scott makes it sound in his intro is that.....while these look like 2 completely different sources, they are the same source! I KNOW, its a shock but watch the intro they say its the same source print for both the left and right side

Well one thing I noticed is that these bars are not noticable every scene BUT they are still there it looks like

I went back to the DVD, and found what I was looking for

For you guys to understand my stance watch the INTRO given by R. Scott on the workprint, in there is comparison shots that makes you think that they captured it as 2.39:1 and then forced it to 2.18, I included some pics that makes me think so as well....and you can tell thats exactly where those "ghost bars" would come from

When you check it out let me know what you think
Heres some pics

Aleksbmw
Ive never been too much into LDs, tho I like niche things. But there are plenty of people on here who know way more than I do about the best set of LDs to use. Id say drop Moth a line, with you doing an awesome project like this he would be more than happy to help and is a real nice guy

From Brendan Fankboner's original workprint companion

Other differences are that, after 1982, the only version to exist of this print is a 70 millimeter blow-up, in six-track Dolby Stereo. In 1990 and 1991, some Landmark theaters in the Los Angeles area played this version as an anamorphic, 35 millimeter reduction print from the 70 millimeter blow-up. The print was reported to be of poor quality: grainy, non-color-corrected, and with "wobbly", hastily cut-in end credits (which also showed up in the " Director’s Cut"). A new, final credit was added to the 35 millimeter reduction:

OK, so it was a 1982 print, and it did start to surface and they decided to make a D cut of the movie. Heres the question to this new finding....
Are they trying to say that the 70mm print was played as a 35mm print in the theatres? And if thats the case, how did they accomplish this? Because seeing a 70mm print when you normally see 35mm prints, you would say to yourself.....somethings a miss here

Well, its sounds like this is something to get alittle excited about

However, I dont want to be Johnny Raincloud but capturing is only half the battle

Remember guys, ALOT of post processing was going into the X0s transfers to make the LDs show their full potential
But even with this in mind, with your modded player we can get a nice solid transfer to work with, something alot of people have been wanting the X0 team to release forever

Im gonna keep my eye on this, I hope to see good things from you Aleksbmw! :)

I don't know where that could have been introduced.  It's possible that it was taken from a print that had been projected, and somehow the aperture gate or an extra-hot bulb damaged the film

This had crossed my mind but I really dont think this is it since this workprint wouldnt have got too many plays in a theater for one, and two I havent seen anything like this first hand when working with film, if it gets too hot it burns, pretty simple...remember plates on 35mm projectors are not the same as the 70mm ones, cause the 35mm have to deal with both flat and scope

 I'd say it's more likely a flaw in the 70mm blow-up process (the workprint was blown up to 70mm by accident and shown in the early nineties - I believe they meant to do a blow-up of the theatrical cut, but something got mixed up and they ended up with the workprint) than anything else

Are you positive about this? I was under the impression that the print used was an original early 80s 70mm workprint and not a restrike of an older print revived. From what I remember, the workprints were owned by theaters and in the 90s they started to show them again, select nights, WB caught wind of this and made the D cut of the movie

It could also be due to the film scanner used to transfer the print to digital, but based on the rest of the set's level of quality I doubt this to be the case.

Remember tho, the rest of the movies scanned were 35mm, while the WP was 70mm....this is what raised my suspicions that someone screwed the pooch and didnt notice it til it was too late and tried to correct for it as best they could.....see the documentary on the WP disc 5 and you will see what I mean
