Cinema came way before television, so screens were big before they were small and the content on them was crisp and detailed before it was low-res and blurry. And we're just getting closer to having the same thing at home. At least that's my personal point of view.
Well, actually, this is why I'm afraid the restoration still may not be the OOT - 4K Star Wars in any form could be a powerful motor for early-adopters.
Is it readily available on myspleen in DTS-HD synced to some specific release?
Oh, yeah, no doubt about that - he can watch it black and white and pan and scan too for all I care. What I'm doubting is his premise that HD video is sharper than real life is. :-D

To watch HD is painful to me because reality doesn't have edges that sharp, why should my TV shows?
LOL, are you serious? :-D
OK, so the print doesn't actually look exactly like those scans, correct?
So I will use it as a general reference but won't stick to it too religiously.
No, I haven't seen it before the public release.
Selective color isn't in AE - I use the Hue/saturation effect, which allows for shifting the hue, saturation and lightness of specific color-ranges.
It's the original LD soundtrack.
DTS-HD doesn't work in AVCHD and by all accounts, the LD 5.1 audio is really good.
If you're making an MKV from it, what's the point of using the AVCHD at all?
Nor will you :)
I already have a background video, it just needs a bit more work.
Well, I actually meant I posted a reply in the wrong thread and then edited it but yeah, maybe this should go into the technical discussion sub-forum.
Thanks! Though somehow with the image smaller like this, the amount of cleanup work that was needed on the 35mm footage isn't as visible - it's not as dirty as the Lapti Nek footage but it still has those constant scratches on the right side of the image, which mostly must be painted out manually.
I knew who Keyser Söze was when watching The Usual Suspects... I found the whole experience kinda boring.

Wrong thread.
The man is clearly using Google Translate. Let's not make fun of him for not knowing English. I believe he's trying to say that the dubbing, no matter how shody the quality, holds a big sentimental value.

Update:
Asked a designer buddy of mine for some tweaks, and apart from the "selected button" and "activated button" highlights (which aren't on there because I haven't gotten to them yet) I'd say this is a pretty solid final design. What do you guys think?

I like it! Nice, clean and simple!

Another shot restored...
Wow, very nice! And I really appreciate that you didn't want to just recreate the ships, even though I can see how it would be really tempting (I actually did it in despecialized, though for me the only other option was the GOUT).
Right, this guy sent it to me a while ago and it was a part of a video that looked like film being projected in an archive somewhere filmed from the screen with a video camera.
Do we have the old Soviet Russian dub?
Well, I did use parts of the BD footage in a couple of places and in the over-head shot of Luke I used the 35mm just for the Sarlacc but most of them are just full 35mm shots.
Only the altered shots are from the 35mm and they are more copped because of stabilization.
As to the colors, they are still work in progress but I'm not sure the scan is 100% correct either - it probably isn't corrected yet.

Sorry, I'll shut up now...
