I crossed my mind, I'm not downloading them. I don't need them. While I would disagree as to saying Isomix should dictate how it is distributed (considering it isn't his property in the first place), Rik is right as far as we can't offer to sell anything on this forum.

PS: What version/s do you have skywalka?

I was thinking for people with projection units, or those who simply prefer it on the picture. I don't know about you, but I would kind of prefer it if they were on the picture because then at least your eyes aren't taken so far away to read them.

Now if you'll excuse me, I still haven't got over the horror of facing 4 more years of STANHOPE. For those of you interested, you can see the results of the stupidity right here in my very own city here. The Greens and the ALP - what could possibly be worse? I don't know where you live skywalka, but this is obviously all your fault (welcome to the forums).

Yep, that's the main reason I use DVD-R media. +R is a seperate format, kind of like Beta to VHS.

Oh, you can use the greedo scene from the SE for the parts with the subtitles. Just cut back to the original when they shoot. I wouldn't try and splice the audio at all, the PCM track is great as it is. You could always make two versions, one with both audios, one with just english. Anyhow, good luck. Oh, I also have a suggestion for you and all other bootleggers (Zion, MeBeJedi, this means YOU) - how about creating two seperate subtitle tracks, the default one will display the subtitles (for greedo/jabba) just below the picture, and the second one will display it on the picture.

I got a copy of this set last week. I'm quite impressed. I was quite surprised that the discs work on my Playstation2! Some criticism: Even on my very small 4:3 TV the picture quality has a slight jagged look of horizontal aliasing, and the frame rate doesn't seem very smooth. But I attribute that to the fact that my PAL TV and Playstation2 are broadcasting the picture in NTSC. There is probably a loss of quality when my PAL TV snaps into its secondary NTSC mode that it wasn't really designed for.

The aliasing you noticed is because the discs don't conform sttrictly to the DVD specification. I have the same problem if I'm using my DVD player in "PAL mode" (which means it uses PAL-60 instead of NTSC for NTSC movies, this makes the picture look better than using NTSC). AFAIK PS2's can only do the one format - ie PAL/PAL-60 but not NTSC. Which could be why you notice the aliasing. I noticed the same thing on a friend's brand new player, so I changed it from "PAL" to "AUTO" and again it was fixed.

mate, I think you have to use a better source than Gonzo's and vhs audio. You could lift the audio straight off TR-47's and use it (so long as you've synced it correctly). Perhapps Zion or MeBeJedi would help you out with the crawls and alien scenes. You'd also want to compare the raw capture to make sure that your PAL version isn't from an NTSC-to-PAL. Also, you could use special edition LaserDiscs:

Like use the german as the underlaying source and then any identical feame that's in the Special Edition can be used to replace the german ones. Still, it's a very good idea since NTSC sucks. By the way I wouldn't use the dual-audio tracks or make it anamorphic.

Well, his FAQ is saying that what he's doing is legal, and that distributing them would be illegal. That is simply not true. are you his personal body guard or something MeBeJedi? For all we know he could be planning on posting torrents. I was not attacking Mike, just pointing out how erroneous the ramblings on his (so-called) FAQ are.

Oops, I meant Mike. I see Mike has a new FAQ. How nice. Still displays his total lack of knowledge for copyright law. You are not allowed to make personal "back-up" copies. There is no fair use exemption allowing personal back-ups in your precious DMCA. The exemptions are listed, and "fair use" is not among them. Gosh, you'd think Americans would know more about their own laws then the rest of us.

Oh they'll get their circulation. I'm not sure if Mark's planning on distributing them himself, or solely relying on others to do it. He could end up being like TR-47 who frowned on other distributing "his set". "Get them from me to endure their quality". Though he's been much better recently.

How dare you speak ill of CRT. No wonder you want to create a 16:9 version. Because of the limitations of fixed pixels and the inability to change resolution on LCD/Plasma screens, hey? My CRT computer monitor is feeling very sick after displaying that blasphemy, goaghhha CRT FOREVER!

Mark, I see you've actually altered something. This is not on, it should be about preservation of the original movie. If you want to make alterations put them into a seperate fan edit - because that's no longer the theatrical version.

Yep. Congress just passed new laws. You can't back up anything you own anymore, the way the new laws are worded, even though that is illegal according to other laws (I believe). It is one big snafu. The lobbyists finally got through to some people, and Sen. Orin Hatch had something happen to him, I forget what exactly, that caused him to switch his beliefs, and he was one of the people that got the darn thing pushed through.

It is illegal to back up CDs, DVDs, rip anything from a disc (even for your own private, personal use), etc.

Ah well at least I still have the legal right to back up software. No one can take that from me, except the Australian Government - and I doubt the ACCC would let them do that.

Mike it's looking good. Are you going to directly use the soundtracks from the LD's? That would be best. Just leave the PCM track. Good luck with it mate. I hope you will take out every single change the special editions made, right down to the uniform flips and updated sabre effects.

Zion, because of the limitations of some widescreen TV's you'll let that dictate the quality of the transfers? I've said it before, and I'll say it again. There are DVD Players on the market that will output a 16:9 Anamorphic picture from non-anamorphic sources, people can use them if it's that important to have a 16:9 picture.

Why make them anamorphic? That's not preserving the LD's it doesn't do them justice. All it does is alters their presentation, and when you alter something inevitably you loose quality. (That's not a general rule, but it is the rule in this case). You should either make two versions, or no anamorphic version... in my opinion.

I agree with what you've said about moderation Jay, and that this is an excellent SW forum - possibly the best. New people have been welcomed, and not labelled newbs, etc. I'm glad you don't appoint additional moderators, in my experience that always leads to corruption. I know it might be necessary when a forum reaches a certain size, but it never works great.
