I wish Lucasfilm would give you guys one day to rummage around their archives and make off with whatever you want.

I'd trust you to do the right thing with it.

Wow, that's amazing.

Why'd I even bother buying the OOT DVDs when you guys are gonna do the whole trilogy?

DE, could you post a few short clips of some of the new changes? Specifically the lightsabers.

I know we've talked about this a while ago, and there's no problem. I'd be happy to wait. Just inquiring so I know.

Hey, great work!

I like what you did with the aliens, but I think it might be better if more subtle. Most of the time it looks like they're underwater.

That would be awesome if you could upload that.

How would you say the picture and sound compare to the '06 OUT DVDs?

I'm dissapointed with how it looks.

It's a real shame is all I have to say.

Yours sound like a very good set of edits!

When I can, I'll try to catch the torrents and check them out.

I'd be happy with just toning the colors down a bit. Not necessarily going in shot by shot to match the OOT or anything, just toning them down is all.
Not sure if this means lowering the saturation or tint or what, but the colors were boosted way too much for the DVDs.

I'd take a handful of screenshots from a bootleg '97 SE DVD, and then adjust the settings to match them. That'd be good enough for me.

Adigitalman's method is the one I used. Womble is a great tool for simple cut/paste type editing.

I have a request to those more technically able than me.

Can anyone send me the audio for the isolated dialogue only, of the scene in Obi-Wan's hut in ANH? I'm hoping to try a few things here, and need the music removed.

I edited my post above with the answer, but I'd have to check again to see exactly what ADM did differently. I think his was slightly different, since we did this independantly. (Although we conversed about it together.)

Adigitalman and I put three or four lines from Liam Neeson's other works into ROTS to at least *hint* at the major plot point Lucas skipped.

My edit, when cutting to the shot of Yoda meditating, voiceovers three Qui-Gon lines:

"Do you feel responsible? Forgive yourself... finding him was the will of the force."

My girlfriend hadn't seen Star Wars when I first knew her either.
It took going to comic-con with her (which I'd never been to before, as justification) to decide to show her the movies. This was right before Episode III came out.

I had wanted to show her the OOT, then I, II, and III. But since it was so short before III came out, she watched I and II with me at home then III in theaters. Then we watched the OOT at home too.

I think she really did enjoy it... although she feigns annoyance at Star Wars.

I plan on turning my Disc 1's into very attractive drink coasters.

And once my personal edit of the OT (which will be a hybrid of the SE and OOT) are complete, I will substitute them for the discs that currently reside in the space marked "Disc 1".

So it'll be the original, untampered, groundbreaking, and well-loved versions... as well as my own personal edition, which is primarily a 'Special Edition' minus the crap.

Does anybody know an avs command that will turn the "black bar" portion of a 2:35.1 anamorphic frame to straight black?
Like if there's a logo or burnt in subtitles in the black region, to paste over them with black.

Ah, crap. When I finish, the picture is indeed 16:9, but it looks like it was merely squished to fit that way. That's no good, I want it cropped don't I?

Will this look okay on a real TV?

EDIT: Nevermind. I modified the crop command in the AVS, and the test sample turned out perfect.

I bought ANH, whilst grumbling about the hassle it'll be to convert them to anamorphic. It looked pretty good, so I bought ESB too. ESB looks downright terrible by any standards. Haven't seen ROTJ yet, but hopefully it'll look better.
