Too bad you couldn't finish your SWF version so that "some people here could make it anamorphic..."

That might look even better than AVI > DVD

What ever happened with the WMV -> SWF conversions ?

FanFiltration, you're still welcome to contact me privately about my (S)VCD's if you want.
However, I should tell you (and anyone else interested) that DVD torrents of this A&E program, as well as the BBC programme from whence it was repackaged, are both listed on the zappateers tracker.
Holler at me if you need help locating the individual torrents.

Any and all Zappa fans should get aquainted with the zappateers tracker.
You won't find official releases there -- not even out-of-print ones like 200 Motels -- but it's definitely the place to go for unofficial videos and concert recordings.

Software used:
WindowsXP SP2 + VirtualDubMod 1.5.10.2
Linux-2.6.13 + Avidemux-2.1.2

Both agree that the title card appears at frame 689.
VirtualDubMod calls it 00:00:28.737 (23.976 fps)
while Avidemux calls it 00:00:22.989 (29.97 fps)

23.976 is the correct frame rate. Perhaps the newest Avidemux-2.3 would do a better job recognizing the telecine flag ?

VirtualDubMod says 174,258 frames
while Avidemux says 174,257.
Both begin at frame 0. Hmmm...

Surely not "the highest-quality copy of the OT in existence" Shirley.

Change that to read "highest-quality copy of the OT released at retail" and you might get a consensus.

Maybe this project would be done already
if they'd bought all that software netgurucr was hawking awhile back

I guess poor sales have put a pinch on netgurucr's pocketbook

I know of one sound effect that went missing in '93 but had been present in earlier home video releases both analog and digital.

Right before the Imperial walker blows up the main power station, it shoots down a speeder.
That speeder's out-of-control engine sound before its crash was mysteriously removed from the '93 remix.
It's heard on Digital Sound laserdiscs of the late 80's as well as analog LDs from the mid-80's.

I've always assumed Burtt couldn't resist his urge to tweak the mix when he made the first digital master in the mid-80's (like he did Threepio's tractor beam line in the first film). Maybe I'm wrong. It could be true that all pre-93 versions, both analog and digital, had the same content possibly with different EQ or dynamic range compression.

Despite some difference(s) like the speeder engine sound, all pre-SE versions (both pre/post-93) seem to line up in the "35mm" right-hand column of the list Arnie.d posted from wookieepedia.
Not until SE'97 that we heard those 70mm elements for the first time in an official home video release.

I think this laserdisc contains the Dolby Stereo mix found on 35mm prints.
I've got an AC3 file (IIRC 224kbps, not synced to GOUT) if you'd like to compare. Artoo doesn't taste very good.

I'm using Audacity to look at the waveforms (Windows version running under WINE, since I don't have the required wxWidgets to compile native Linux version).
Here's what I see:

DC48

DS48

As you might guess by the relative amplitudes that's the first, louder DS48 file. But the second "DS48 RL" has the same peak in the same position 0:27.798500

The difference is 0.002250 or 108 samples.

seventiesfilmnut, send a PM if you still can't get the filefactory links. They appear to be working fromt where I sit.

I have not muxed ROTJ (although I have done a rough measurement of the delay offset.)

I have successfully muxed ESB, using a delay offset of 45,528 samples (0.9485 sec).
I watched it, and didn't notice any problems. It remained synchronized through to the end.

I have successfully muxed STAR WARS with the '93 PCM (first 15 minutes only) and with the '77 Dolby Stereo (entire film).
No problems with either, but the offsets were different:
48,851 samples + "DC48 DVD.wav"
48,743 samples + "DS48 DVD.wav"

No, not the same.

Paradoxically, the '85 LD doesn't contain the '85 remix.
The '85 LD (Cat# 1130-84) contains the original '77 Dolby Stereo mix.
The '85 VHS was the first to use the new remix, also found on your '89 LD w/ shrinking ratio.
