BLAK0050: STAR WARS - Special Widescreen Edition "Corrected" (LD Transfer)

I really have to double check the '86/'92 releases again, the dot pattern on the '85 LD was hard to notice due to the low quality

msycamore said:

The first Laserdisc release of Empire was in 1984 according to the Laserdisc Database, don't know if it has been preserved by someone here?

^ a lowly Capitol pressing?

You should hear this one:

Original UK First Pressing 2/1 Matrix

Ask me where...

Without reading back the whole thread, are the pre-86 video releases represented?
msycamore did show a pan/scan shield generator shot . . . from what source?

IIRC some of dark_jedi's p/s preservations were posted on usenet in the recent past, but those were the time-compressed LDs. I know nothing about time compression, but I'd guess they'd be missing some frames or fields (or have some blended together) which might or might not be a problem if you're looking for specific frames.
I think I'll repost dark_jedi's "Standard Play" preservations. Those are the uncompressed pan/scan CAV LD sets 1130-84 & 1425-84 (the same ones believed to contain theatrical soundtracks, since they predate the digital sound era.)

I sincerely hope that you are not calling me a fuckwit.

Congrats on finishing hairy -- or should we call you Dirty Hairy?

With powerful weapons like iZotope's MBIT in your arsenal you'd best start with 44kHz rip ideally, not those captures. Sounds like you've managed a sweet elixir from the 'lemons' I gave you
Still ... it bugs me to think my industrial player's DAC section added its own colourization to the sound, however small.

Ironically the same day you announce completion of your project, my S/PDIF project reached a milestone yesterday.
Albeit still at "Almost there..." status -- It's flaky, but flaky in a predictable way.
This means I can rip three times the same passage, then use a two-out-of-three (TOOT) algorithm to select the good data. I tried successfully the section of 20th Fox fanfare yesterday as a sort of 'proof of concept'

Not meaning to send you back to work just when you're glad to be done, but if you think it could improve your project the slightest bit, I'll be glad to try TOOTing that ROTJ scene...

Has this been released yet? Somebody send me the links!



No really, what are we paying for here?
Send this thing to pittrek ?
But who's gonna scan it kid, you?

This thread might be for serious preservationists only!

Because Moth3r doesn't speak French ?

Yeah, figured I probably would do.
Might post Moth3r's first though, so hold that thought.

I do have a decent collection, but you know the one I regret not grabbing "straight from the horse's mouth" is the "TB" SE'97 set.
I don't need no stinkin' SE is what I thought at the time, and still feel that way to some degree. But so many people have asked for it over the years, and so many had it burned on wonky media, that I've often wished I could help.

bash, but it's invoked using /bin/sh link so it behaves more like old-school Bourne

Mirror's there so Zilch could see the binding posts are in a single column.
He had recommended that layout (some 6260's had 2x2 grid pattern) for anyone who does lots of lead swapping. I'm using banana plugs now, to make it even easier to swap.

We're friends now! (so sit on that fonzi ;)



Got my 6260 from Don Ramon. He's a Los Angeles dealer (pawn shop?) who sells lots of stuff on eBay.

Speakers, in order of production:

- quasi-"001" system (DIY, with 'tater-masher horns, N1200, and D130 woofs instead of 130A)
- L36A
- L166A
- L50A
- L96 (plus extra N150A's for charge-coupling someday)
- L5

They don't all play at once. Heck, some are stacked in a corner at the moment.
I'm BJL over at the heritage forum (and real life.)

I'm still ignored.
C'mon JT34 we've a lot in common: six pair JBLs (not surround though) plus a 6260 amp here.
Be my friend!

Actually, I think I used the IMG extension. The disc image was built with ImgTool Classic, IIRC.

Anyway, you mean to tell me you don't have the original RARs?

Moth3r said:

I'm disappointed in you, Mallwalker.

I got the V1.0 ISO files released in 2005. So that's what I'd repost.
I'm having none of this the way I would've done it back in '05, if I'd known then what I know now drivel you're spewing.
If fan editors want to apply your 'original vision' after downloading, they're welcome to it ;)

Can you dig it, foganime?

1 problem with your ESB upload:

V.part075.rar is incomplete (only 96/116 available) ??



Thanks for any addon news post to fix this!

Pssst--
those poor fools over in Puggo's thread don't know what they're missing ;) ;)

Done posting.
Look there to see what menu screens look like.
I noticed russs's pages says "Laser Disc Player Used: ??"
It was a CLD-97 bought with TR47's pirate booty

Re: AVIs all I can say is
that's exactly the way I found them.

Is it your impression those are proper AC3 rips?

Way back when max_rebo was gathering sources for his 97SE project, he listened to that and thought it to be an upmix.

In another thread Moth3r wondered what my 'archive' might look like.
Well it's a cluttered cupboard to be sure, but...

Today I should finish posting the Cowclops trilogy, and those go back in the box.
In the very same box, right beside them literally, are Moth3's PAL DVDs.
Is it mere coincidence ?

Now.

Grab the NFO file. Use your favourite text editor to read the SFV file.
It's got dates & times inside, so you'll know exactly what you're getting

Sure, segaflip sent me those by snail mail. I could post it next week...

Yes and yes.
I can repost the ones I got from usenet (OP Aug 2005 by segaflip)
