Hi, I'm Leo and I'm 21, and I didn't find a thread were I could introduce myself, so I'll put a few words here. I've been following this project (lurking really) for some time now, because, reading about the original trilogy and how it was "improved" during the years had left me thinking "surely there must be a way to watch these movies the way they hit the theaters back in the late 70s/early 80s". So I stumbled upon this site.

May I say I am really enthusiastic about the Puggo Grande because, even if the original trilogy dvds that have been released WERE the state of the art, they couldn't hold a candle to 16 mm film in my opinion. Film is the way to go when collecting movies. Too bad it's expensive, not to mention you have to take good care of the reels and the projector. Dvd has the good point of being handy, you just pop a disc into a pc, a player and you're set. If it scratches you just buy another one or use a backup copy. But I'm digressing...

Anyway, I have some questions. I understand this, when it will be released, will be in NTSC. So how should I convert it into PAL without losing quality? What program should I use? Should I speed it up or not?

Thanks in advance (and pardon me for any grammatical errors, english is not my language)
