You know, if you were to put your finger through that hole it would look like.... ah forget it.

Yep, it does... tried it.

I did a very rough test with an old 8mm projector, just to see the frame-blurring, and it is prominent. There may be a work-around, but I don't have access to a 35mm projector and won't be able to do a serious test unless I find someone who does.

When looking into the cost of buying a 35mm projector (several thousand $), it occured to me that it would be cheaper to pay for a true telecine. I found a quote through google for about $1,000 for 120 minutes, and that includes cleaning. Not bad, assuming we can find a print and the teleciners are willing to transfer copyrighted material.

HDV is true HD

If you can't do uncompressed, you can record in HDV mode (25 Mb/s MPEG2 in HD) and it'll only take up less than 30 GB and still look great.

Hmm, what I did notice, the aspect ratio of these screenies are identical, so this transfer is anamorphic?

And, as I thought, they screwed up.... The OOT release of the German Version should be the 1978 "KRIEG DER STERNE" textcrawl! Now we most probably get "STAR WARS" with a German textcrawl, which is nowhere but "original"....

I sincerely hope that the crawls WILL be the German ones... and not digitally redone, but used from the old masters (though I don't know if there are any german "master" existing). Nevertheless, it will be hard to convince me buying these... or I'll wait until they're on the bargain table, since I don't believe this "only available until 12/31"-crap.

Ah right, sorry. Didn't really look that closely at the URL or menus. Dunno why I thought it was German...

I'm a bit pissed off that the German site has copies when Fox UK wouldn't give us (DVDActive) any. The R1 releases are being bought for me, and I should have them early if the retailer's track record is anything to go by, but I'd have liked the chance to do a very early review. One thing I will say about the caps is that they look better than I expected, but resizing screen caps generally hides a lot of imperfections that would otherwise be visible. I'll reserve judgement until I see a full size cap or get the discs myself.

No, Randy has a point - take a look at the lego menu screen, which presumably will be crystal clear and perfect on the DVD. Well, the screenshot looks crappy and compressed. I don't think we can trust these images as a true representation of what the films will look like.

I'm sorry, but NO, Randy doesn't have a point, since dpi-count has NO relation to what we're talking about.

Compression on the other hand, as you say, is in fact a factor that comes into play here. But still, the sharpness of the screenshots isn't exactly stunning, and that's not a compression issue.

PAL native resolution is 720 x 576. To convert to natural aspect ratio, resize vertically to 720 x 540.

You guys realize these are 72 dpi images for the web, right?

Are these real? I mean, in the gallerys in the links provided, they had shots like this:
Han&Chewie promo photo
SE Jabba
So, are these shots at the bottom supposed to be generic Star Wars shots, or 'screen shots'? Some of these shots are promo shots, that aren't in the movie, or SE shots.
