Is there actually a possibility to transfer them to MORE than just DVD-resolution? I mean, I don't know the quality of this, but maybe scanning it to HD-XviD (720p or more) might be a great thing.

No problem, torrent the soundtracks (if you have them all). Though I suggest that you'll add the 2-disc "Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb" that I've made as well, because I haven't seen it anywhere else since I had to take it down.

I'm trying to find the right image for the special features disc, and I would love to try a certain piece of Struzan art. Specifically I need to find a hi-res copy of this painting:

I've been looking pretty hard across the net but to no avail. On Grisan's cover site, under the misc. section (http://kevin.alfahosting.org/misc/) someone has used this image. Unfortunately the links are broken. So any help in located the image would be great. Thanks

I've scanned the complete image, although it was printed across two pages, so I've tried to retouch the seam as good as possible. Here's a preview:

Are there any disadvantages using your ISP's Usenet-access, especially regarding anonymity? I am a little afraid that downloading dozens of Star Wars DVDs might catch their attention.

My ISP provides Usenet-access (without traffic limit) for only 3 bucks a month, so I am thinking about giving it a try.

Please don't tell them... I am sure they would just go and digitally remove the scar from all Anakin-shots in the movie... (and maybe some more eyebrows, when they're already at it).

I must say, I would love to have a rip of the KotOR2-soundtrack from the X-Box. Regarding KotOR1, the X-Box version had the soundtrack at 192kb/s (the PC version only at 128). The PC-version of KotOR2's soundtrack now only comes as 32KHz and MONO!! (I bet the X-Box version has higher sound quality, as it did with the "Emperor's Tomb" soundtrack).

I used to host the KotOR-soundtrack on my site (LucasArts Soundtracks), but LucasArts asked me to take down all Indy- and SW-stuff. I am planning though to readd the CD-covers along with ripping instructions (as far as possible).

OMG... those 3D-diorama-versions of the posters are just amazing... someone REALLY had some spare time.

EDIT: Oh, I see that they're actually manufactured and for sale... it looked like they were hand-made.

Oh, in that case don't mail me... it's a little bigger than I thought. Plus, I already have a scan of the front (at least the poster part).

I am waiting for a complete set of scans, preferrably a little more compressed (but still as hires as possible).

Actually I would love to have that whole IMAX-film in some way or another. It appears as if it hasn't been released on DVD yet, and ever since I've read about it, I wanted to see it. Unfortunately it didn't run in our local IMAXs.

Well, just because the image is around 6K by 8K in size it still isn't THAT hi-res since it's just scaled up from the scanned game box (plus there's still the annoying system-specs sticker on it) and doesn't show any more detail than in its original size. By the way, that scan is from HERE, and was scaled up for a project named "ridiculously large cover scans" (of course with the idea of printing posters).

"Adobe Photoshop" all the way. Not only is it the absolute "industry standard", it's also very powerful - once learned. It doesn't have that many "artistic filters" like other programs, as "Corel PhotoPaint", but I still consider those cheap tricks that give away the amateur behind a design.

Well, THAT sounds interesting... are those the complete movies (even if just the SEs)? The only HD I've seen from the OT was the HD-trailer for the 2004 DVD release.

It was from the broadcast... unfortunately it was cropped on the sides to fit a 16:9 aspect ratio, also I don't mind too much, consindering the image quality.

Was there a HDTV-broadcast of "Menace"? Does anybody know?

Actually I am planning on doing exactly this with all of the SW-movies. Since I've seen the HDTV-DivX of "Attack of the Clones" on my new 32" HDTV-LCD (via DVI input) I am looking deparately to get the HDTV-version of "Phantom Menace" as well. As for the OT (from which I assume no HDTV-versions exist), the pristine 2004-DVDs are simply perfect for upscaling them to 720p. I've done a 5-minute test-clip of "Empire" upscaling it with several AviSynth-filters, and the quality just blows the DVDs away easily.

I know, people keep saying that upscaling doesn't add anything to the image, but that's not true. AviSynth-filters like "LimitedSharpen" add artificial detail, and really make the image look outstanding (especially when fed to the TV via DVI instead of RGB-scart). Here some samples:

Empire Sample 1
Empire Sample 2
Empire Sample 3
Empire Sample 4
Empire Sample 5
Empire Sample 6
Empire Sample 7
Empire Sample 8
Empire Sample 9
Empire Sample 10

On closer observation there are some artifacts visible, which make the image look like it's painted... these are only visible on stills. When in motion, they get pretty much compensated.

I'd be VERY interested in a DVD-copy of "The Frighteners" Signature Collection... especially the 4 hour documentation. I got that one from eDonkey a while ago, but the quality was terrible... and the image was stuttering like hell. Any chance that anyone here could make a copy of the docu (maybe split onto two DVDs) or even the whole set and share it? MySpleen maybe?

Hey there.

I was wondering, after watching the HDTV-version of AOTC on my new LCD-TV (mediocre film, awesome quality), are there HDTV-versions of the other movies as well? If I remember correctly the 720p-version of AOTC was shown on TV... what about TPM? Or the OT (even if just the SEs)... is there a way to get a hand on a HDTV-version of any of the other movies? I am asking, because I am planning on putting hi-def versions of the movies on DVDs, since even the scaled up versions of the 2004 DVDs (using AviSynth with Limitedsharpen) blew the DVD-image away tenfold...
