So it seems UseNetServer is delivering neither the retention they advertise, nor the completion ?
Sorry I suggested them. It sounded like a good deal.

Welcome to the forum, Ed!
Both Dolby Stereo flavors were last posted May 25, or 69 days ago. Although they've expired from some news providers by now
(including mine and apparently yours too) several of the top-tier providers should still have them available.
It seems a bit too soon for a repost.

Maybe it's a good time to try UseNetServer's 3 day plan. They advertise 101 day retention.
If you're new to usenet, I'll betcha you'd find plenty of other older postings that interest you (besides Belbucus' works)
to get good return on a $3 investment.

New from Belbucus:

35mm Dolby Stereo vs. mono mix comparison

Moth3r posted the .MP3, and IIRC a lossless .WAV was also posted last autumn.

Since that time Belbucus has revisited this project.
He recently released a new version which is resampled @48kHz and sync'ed to GOUT video.

Belbucus writes:
A running comparison of the '93 DC/Faces mix (folded

recording of the "77 70mm 6-track mix on channel 2.

Thank you Belbucus for sharing this.

It's currently posting to alt.binaries.starwars

I'd be thrilled to watch MPEG-2 encodes of the raw X0 captures while we wait for Laserman to convalesce.
No fancy menus or anything, just bare-bones DVDs of the DC & SC.
Call it version zero and put X0 project logo watermarks on if you're worried someone will steal your thunder.

FZ & GL are quite similar as revisionists of history.
Both used immature digital technologies to defile their earlier masterpieces.

I prefer the original Hot Rats vinyl mix over version 2.

"any of the films" ?

If you want your crawl to be "very accurate" then perhaps you should specify which film.
After all, they're all different:

Obviously not 1080p, but it should serve to illustrate the point.

According to a couple of online auction sites that's the Canadian catalog number -- which makes perfect sense after viewing your user profile.

In case anyone is curious what the poster looked like:

Hey Mark, what's the catalog number of your STAR WARS LP ?
I'm guessing the last three digits are "-541" but I can't make out what's before it from the photo.

My own copy purchased in '77 or '78 says 2T-541; however, I don't think mine is a 1st-pressing since it came without a poster.
I'm wondering if yours is an older or newer pressing, or possibly a record club issue with alternate catalog number ?

I appreciate your sharing it (since I'm too lazy to order a new belt for my turntable.)

For a non-Cameron example, I believe the European releases of Smokey and the Bandit are 4:3 open-matte.
I don't actually own an R2 disc, but I've seen it as DivX or XviD or one of those MPEG-4 flavours.

Originally posted by: Scruffy
OUT is Original Unaltered Trilogy, a new marketing term used to describe the 2006 DVD release of the Star Wars Trilogy. Since it's not the original unaltered trilogy, using that acronym represents a sort of intellectual buy-in to a lie. Prefixing it with the G acknowledges this and places the blame for the dissonance where it rightly lies.

No
The 2 cd version is widescreen and has the Dolby Stereo mix folded into a single channel.
The true mono mix version is 4:3 with the sides cropped.

I posted this same file last autumn. If you got it then, you don't need it again.
