Hey Patrick. Thanks again for the info. I'll check around and see what I can find. I was expecting to pay around $100, so that's cool. Yeah, you're lucky your copy included the Leia welding scene!

I would be upset if I bought one without it but didn't find out until later...

Hey Laserman, can you tell us a little bit more about the board you're using for your transfer? I'm just getting into the video production industry, so I'm still learning a lot and I'm curious about it. I've looked around, but everything I've found says that you can only get a 4:4:4 transfer if you have a true high definition source. How are you going to do it? What is your board like? Also, is there anything built for consumers to use to get a 4:4:4 (or close to) transfer? I found some a couple of companies that make equipment for 4:4:4, but again, everything says you must go from a high definition source. Anyway, I was just curious to know more details because it seems really cool if you could do this...I hope there is a consumer (or prosumer) way to do this...

Thanks for the help and info...

Hey, thanks for the info Patrick and Nan Tucket. I guess I'll check on ebay and such to see what I find. I would just like to have a good copy of the Laserdisc...it would make me feel better!

Well, so what is a decent price range for these. I just don't want to get ripped off. I know there are a lot of people out there way over-pricing them. What would be the maximum you guys would reccomend paying for a set? Thanks again for the help

Hey guys. I just had a couple of quick questions.

1. I know this has probably been answered before, so I apologize for the repeat, but what is the best Laserdisc copy to have. I'm specifically refering to one that is Pre-Sp-Ed., has the missing C3P0 dialogue and the Princess Leia wielding scene, and is good quality. (I'm not even sure about CLV vs CAV).

2. Also, I wanted to know if anybody here was doing a transfer on a Mac...if so, I'm curious to see what hardware/software they are using to capture, encode, clean-up, etc.

3. Also, what have been the bitrates people are using for their encoding...like if it's variable, what are your min. and max.? Also, for anyone preparing to do a dual-layer transfer, like Laserman, what bitrate are you going to use?

Thanks for the help and info!

Yeah, I know that. I was just simplifying my question. Although I must say, this process does seem a bit more complicated on a Windows machine. I've done this type conversion on my Mac, and I don't have to go through that many steps. I've gotten some pretty good results. I bascially use Quicktime to re-adjust the picture and then apply some filters to clean it up. Sometimes, depending on the video's original aspect ratio, I do go through some other steps though.

Man, I would love to see an RGB to a lossless 4:4:4 transfer burned to dual-layer.
Hey Laserman, do you plan on converting these to anamorphic? That's my question about the current anamorphic ones. Does anybody know how these were done? I know to convert them you can just delete the "black bars", but these look better than to have just done that. I read once somewhere that the only real best way to convert to anamorphic is to go from non-anamorphic PAL to anamorphic NTSC. It has somehting to do with the better progressive scan of PAL. Does anyone know if that's true? If so, are there PAL laserdiscs out there somewhere? I've only seen NTSC. Anyway, definitely keep us updated Laserman...

Hi. I've been reading these boards for awhile, but I am a first time poster. It's so cool to see fans helping each other out to share the trilogy.
You know, I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before (sorry for repeating it if it has), but I'm really curious to see what people come up with once dual layer dvd burners become available later this year. With these, the quality can be greatly improved with less compression needed. I mean, some of these sets do have good quality now, but it can only get better with more room to spare on the blank dvds. Anyway, keep up the good work everyone.
