Topic: Info Wanted: Anamorphic GOUT versions? Any with PCM sound?
Link: https://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/327366/action/topic#327366

Ok,

I still need to check out Mother’s Pwnage edition. I think it will be a great start. I just wish he would have done Empire and Jedi too!

That said, has anyone converted the GOUT from the bonus disc to anamorphic and also added the PCM sound?

I think that would be the ideal version for the purists here.

Is there a similar released of Mother’s Pwnage edition for TESB and ROTJ?

Even without PCM, I would love to see those happen.

I have not been active here in a while but did try to search for an answer but could not find one.

Any help is appreciated. I tried to make the GOUT anamorphic myself but got really bad jaggies…

I have these downloaded.

They look AMAZING, especially on a large screen.

Shame we it's the SE though.

The audio is PAL and is slightly faster of course.

Working on correcting it though.

Again, these versions KILL DVD.

If you can't see the difference, get your eyes checked.

thanks for posting!

As I mentioned, Astraweb news servers did not have most of it posted. <sigh>

Will check my brother's server tonight (newshosting)

I really need to switch to giganews.

What does everyone else use?

Well,

Astraweb is missing almost all parts. Only 10 or so of them actually made it to the server. Dammit.

Not sure about other ones.

I have to have these so please repost if you can.

While most movies are cropped down to 1.85:1, HBO does show some movies in their original 2.35:1 ratio.

Ep3 was shown in OAR, 2.35:1.

Hey guys,

I did not see a post here so I thought I would announce it.

All six Star Wars movies will be aired in HD on Cinemax this November.

Since DirecTV does not carry Cinemax HD, I will miss them UNLESS someone here can capture them!

Please!!!!

Information:

The 14 hour (13h,45m) Marathon starts on Saturday, Nov11, with an "all-day" showing of all 6 episodes I-VI back to back, starting at Midnight. Then it starts over again at 1:50pm on Saturday, then again (and again) on Sunday. 4 times in a row! Saturday through Sunday, until Monday morning at around 7:30am.

- 12:00am, Nov11
- 1:50pm, Nov11
- 3:40am, Nov12
- 5:40pm, Nov12

Then they're breaking it into two segments, on 2 consecutive days:

I-III back to back: 5:15pm, Nov16

IV-VI back to back: 5:45pm, Nov17

Then we finally get the "order restored" version, with IV-VI, then I-III airing daily at noon, from Nov20-25.

Lastly, another daily run of I-VI in the 10pm time-slot, from Nov26-Dec01.

The only thing that really surprised me was that they had been saying that "Sith" was going to run first (it's been airing on HBO, but not at all on MAX yet), and then "order will be restored". But it looks like it's not going to play out that way. And why not focus on more airings with "order restored"? Luckily, with 4 Marathons in a row, you can jump in after the first 3 if you like. In any event, definitely something to look forward to.

The only remaining question will be, which eps will be OAR? Fingers crossed on that one.

Has anyone heard from Citizen? I personally think his versions of ANH and TESB are the best out there, slightly better than Mother’s.

I am dissapointed that ROTJ has not been released.

Anyone know if he is still working on it or is it abandoned?

I hope it happens at some point.

Thanks!

I tried to get a similar project like this going years ago.

I even know someone who could do the transfer for us.

We could never obtain the 35mm prints though.

If anyone DOES know someone with them, please PM me.

I hope this happens.

I owned many of the LDs. They look ok on large widescreen TVs or even front projectors.

However, there are versions released here that are MUCH better quality because their source is better (PAL vs NTSC).

You should grab Citizen's versions.

I watch them upscaled to 720p on my 119" screen and front projector and they look VERY good...almost official DVD quality.

I received TESB DL yesterday. Nice work again Citizen! I only had a couple of minutes to look at it but it looks just as impressive as ANH.

I will go through it more tonight.

I can send someone the ISO files if you can post it in a.b.starwars.

It's a must have!

Thanks Citizen! You know I have been dying to see your TESB set!

Your v2 sounds like it will also be VERY nice. Cannot wait to see that next year.

If someone has access to a.b.starwars, let me know and I will burn you a copy of the DL ISO so you can post it.

Just need ROTJ and I will finally have a quality version of the trilogy, thanks to Citizen!!!!

I will go ahead and chime in.

I have seen probably 12-15 different versions of Star Wars on DVD. I preferred Gonzos for the longest time since it was one of the few anamorphic releases.

Now, mother's is good but I have to give the best overall review to Citizen. The sound and picture quality were stunning.

His ANH DVD is simply amazing. I have a very high end theater (119" 16:9 screen, 720p DLP HDFP, 7.1, transducers, etc) and his transfer looks almost as good as a anamorphic retail DVD. I also reviewed it on my 65" 16:9 HDTV and it looks incredible.

My brother did not believe me until I made him a copy. He called me up that night and was also thrilled with how nice it looked. He thought it was going to be like former releases....

I have waited YEARS for a quality set to be released and that day has finally arrived. Hurry up with TESB and ROTJ!!!

I welcome other releases but this one will be very hard to beat. Until we get the originals in HD somehow!

Oh, I cannot compare it to other releases on a 4:3 set, as all of my TVs are now 16:9. Sorry!

Anyone think that MVerta could make us an HD version from it. I will chip in some cash for sure!

How is the overall quality of 16mm? Just wondering.
