Harmy's STAR WARS Despecialized Edition HD - V2.7 - MKV (Released)
Time

Oh, yeah, I know about that but it's this bad only in a few shots. In theory, it should be that bright and you should be seeing fields of smaller stars where there are the grey areas but they're eaten up by compression because the compression algorithm knows that it's so dark that those details wouldn't be visible anyway, so when you brighten the picture, these compression artefacts are brought up along with some additional detail. This is an unfortunate side-effect of doing colour correction on a compressed source but until the blu-rays come out, this is about the best source there is.

I'm not denying that it's a mistake on my part, because I could have simply not brightened it so much but I didn't notice it until after the final encode and didn't think it a big enough issue to go through the whole encoding ordeal again, because like I said, it's just a few shots.

That is your best WP reviewer prize ;-)

And sending me the 97SE discs is also a highly appreciated help :-)

I guess h_h would deserve that prize for WP review as well but he was a bit late to the party (and he gets his credit anyway for both his WP check contribution and the wonderful 5.1 mix) :-)

And thanks for the positive feedback :-)

Full video interview between Lucas and Nolan at the DGA in febuary
Time

Oh, c'mon guys, are we now discussing how fat George Lucas is? He is quite old, you know. And he isn't even that fat. I don't know how many people this old you know, RU, but I'd like to see you running on a treadmill when you're nearing 70. My Grandma is 65 and she has trouble walking longer distances, so running is completely out of the question.
