The translation is a bit loose in the first film, but gets more faithfull in the next two.
And here it's a classic: "Met la gomme Chico !"*
It's even sampled by the french rap scene**...
Haha! I forgot that one!
I was kidding when I said "La honte". Personally I'm a purist who needs to watch films in V.O. but other people have different tates...DUH!
You're right though, the first film is really loose. Not only that, but "Dark Vader" sounds like he's speaking through a cardboard tube!

Sérieusement, si tu veux une copie avec une bande sonore en français, pourquoi pas le faire toi-même? Sinon, je sais que Moth3r a fait ses versions avec les Laserdiscs français...demande-lui.

The laserdiscs were encoded in Dolby Digital PCM 2.0 (which can become 4 channel surround if you have a compatible reciever).
There.

I cracked up when that Dan Veeber guy told the Sci-fi crowd that the father character was the reason Lucas was holding back the un-special edition original Star wars trilogy.
I was the only one of my friends laughing at that joke and thus became an instant nerd. Ha! Oh well...

Do you have any idea how many frames would need scanning? In the words of Monty Python, "A Lot"

But even if you do transfer the 8mm or 16mm prints, me thinks they'd be in terrible shape, not to mention the fact that they'd more than likely be pan and scan...YUCK. Although I have come across a few nice 16mm anamorphic prints. I remember finding "They Live!" once. Ooo! Those reds never looked nicer!

Eh.
Once you calibrate your television, you notice that the colors are better than the first version. It's in anamorphic so anyone with a 16x9 television will rejoice. The commentary track is nice and the menus are excellent as well.
But when when you come down to it, there really isn't anything revolutionary about this transfer. It's not any sharper or cleaner than the first version, so don't expect a miracle.
If you want an anamorphic transfer of the TR-47 bootleg, this is the one to get. Otherwise, for those with 4x3 televisions, I recommend sticking with the first versions.
Just my two cents.
Not to diss the makers: there will definitely be people who will enjoy this version a lot better than me. But seeing as I only own a 4x3 television, I'm perfectly satisfied with the first one.

I agree that the saturation is just a bit too much. C3PO's metal "skin" shows it the best. I'd personally tone it down a notch.

What progress have you made? Are you still doing tests or are you in the process of actually working on the films? What about this whole thing about you using a modified PAL player?

Glad to hear you got the sound issue worked out! no need to repost, I agree.
This will turn out to be a really good transfer if you keep it up. The only really issue I have with the PAL LDs is that their framing is a little tighter than the NTSC. I don't know why someone decided to cut off that much picture...

The framerate is choppy. I'm guessing you used the video from the MPEG-2 files from Moth3r's DVD? Perhaps that has something to do with it...too many steps.
(and the sound sucks BAD...but you knew that)
Good project to take on though! Keep up the good work!
