I just started reading the novel for the first time, and this is my first dip into the world of Lord of the Rings.

I don't want to see the movie versions at all until I'm completely finished, so I can be free to imagine on my own at least once first.

However when I do get down to watching them, this edit sounds great. Does anyone have them, who would want to work out a trade? PM me if so.

Naturally, the first thing I thought of was fan edit fodder.

Maybe there'll be enough Grevious dialogue to dub over ROTS.

Perhaps this is redundant, but do you plan on releasing a just color-corrected version, since you put so much detailed effort into it?

And the new barrel-roll shot of the X-wings... I love it.

School is over in a few days, and I'll have more time to do this sort of thing.

As for the OT... I'm waiting for better source material. Namely, the Darth Editous ESB and the Adywan ANH.

I'll keep you guys posted though.

Hey, DE, any idea what the ETA of this project is?

Just wondering, to plan my own editing accordingly.

This may help clear up Lucas's logic behind the character of Grevious.

While I still don't like it, at least now I understand it.

Why are all the SE bootlegs in PAL?

Incidentally, is there any simple way to do a true PAL to NTSC conversion?

ADM, could you repost your directions on how to do this that you PMed me before?

My hard drive failed and I don't have it any more.

Does anyone have a digitally-sourced NTSC copy of the '97 Special Edition trilogy?

This'd really help with OT editing for me.

Does this version have the plus sign and blue box logo in the upper right corner? If not, I'd be interested in obtaining a copy.

Are those screencaps a DVD version, taken from an HD source?

Either way, I'd download a torrent like that in a flash.

I too would love to hear other fans' ideas for editing ROTJ.

I want to improve it, yet at the same time not substantially alter one of the original films.

Very impressive. However, the black levels look pretty bad at times.

And I do like the idea of blending several different histograms for a more balanced color overall. Good luck to you in the future!

I just had to reinstall my operating system and now when womble tries to export, it is extremely slow. In three minutes, eight seconds were encoded. Anybody know why this is, and how to fix it?

Maybe you could try putting the Yoda deleted scene in between the birth scene and funeral, so that it's not as abrupt a transition.

I can play them normally in a DVD player or even on the computer.

It will read it perfectly fine until it gets to the end, in which an error message appears. On one disc, it always stops at 17%.
