I had my little brother here for a week. He’s eight now, so we watched the entire Star Wars saga and here’s a video where I ask him what he thought about it 😃
Yeah, there’s quite a few re-comps left in v2.0 (in the introduction of the imperial fleet, in the battle of Hoth, in the Cloud City approach and a few others) and there will likely still be some left in v2.5 but fewer.
For v2.5 of ESB, some v2.0 shots will remian, so there will probably be plenty of GOUT in there.
It was a pioneering move to shoot those films digitally and we can thank it for movies like Slumdog Millionaire or Revenant (both digitally-shot best-cinematography Oscar winners) and I for one am glad that the early digitally-shot films that are stuck in not-so-good quality are those pieces of crap and not some masterpieces of modern cinema. 😃
I agree with Frink - though I must say your guestimate is surprisingly accurate. 😃
Mark’s Down On Your Syntax said:
Abrams was interviewed by Empire magazine a little while after his announcement as director. They asked him which versions he showed to his children, he replied something along the lines of, “The original theatricals, that’s very important.”
I’ve tried to find the issue with the interview (both in my flat and online!) but I can’t so you’ll have to take my word for it!!
Question is…did he know of the despecialized editions or did he have to resort to the GOUT DVD’s. Yay for Abrams though! It’s awesome he showed his kids the theatrical
Well, Simon Pegg is like his best bud, so considering this https://twitter.com/simonpegg/status/249553559320928256
I think the odds are pretty good that JJ watches Despecialized at home 😃
I’d just like to point out that most of the 4K BDs that’ve come out so far have been 2K upscales.
Maybe between Star Wars and ESB, there were three other episodes, that we just missed 😉
From what I understand, the 8bit vs 10bit is just a small part of it, the real difference (and the real challenge in dealing with HDR video) is in the rec709 vs rec2020 color spaces.
Thank Poita! That’s what I wanted to hear 😃
Hi, guys, I created a new thread for discussing home-video HDR, because I think it’s time to start looking into it for possible future preservation releases:

Hi guys,
I’m starting to look into HDR, because it seems to be all the rage now and some of the scans we have are done at such quality that the projects could definitely benefit from an HDR workflow and release. HDR is still quite new on the consumer market, so I’m not saying we’ll start seeing HDR preservations tomorrow but it would be good to be ready when the time for it comes, and also keep it in mind for possibly future-proofing projects.
I tried reading up on it but to be honest, I find the whole thing quite confusing - does anyone have any experience or insight they could share?
What tools and formats can be currently used to produce HDR renders and encodes that would fit the new home video HDR standards?
And is it possible to convert SDR footage to HDR - I realize that there would probably be little benefit to doing this to an entire project but it may be important in cases where we might need to patch things up with SDR footage, like restoring missing frames using a BD release.
I think anyone who openly admits to being a troll should be banned, don’t you?
Awesome!
Hasn’t it previously been established that the 16mm mix is indeed a separate mono mix?
Oh, ok 😃 Looks great!
Is it supposed to be a very small mp4?
Well, I did say a while ago that I’m actually considering doing two different color versions for 3.0 but even the main version will likely be somewhere between 2.5 and 2.7 color-wise.
Which is why I didn’t take v2.5 links down - it’s all a matter of taste.
Cool 😃
MalàStrana, I’m curious, it would seem you are French, so why is your user name a Czech name of one of Prague’s districts?
When you started freerapid and it asked you to do updates, did you do them? They are important, because the sites keep changing their “protection” and the downloaders have to keep up, so without the latest updates, it just won’t work.
I don’t know - couple of months ago or something like that.
What the fuck?
