"The X0 cap is to HuffYUV, so presumably the audio's in the raw AVI as PCM, yeah."

I already have a copy of the digital PCM. That was never an issue to begin with. Getting the best video was the goal here.

"One thing I do notice is that Laserman's appeal for funding of this project (either in cash, or gifts-in-kind) has fallen on deaf ears"

Actually, I have had one person contact me in regards to this. As this project is going to happen regardless, funding would simply move up the time-table for the release (though I could think of a few special things that donators would receive. )

And just a reminder, Laserman simply procurred the transfer. Zion and myself will be making the DVDs from this transfer.

"From what I remember, in the earlier versions, the Stormtrooper turns on his comlink to talk just as the head bumps, so people thought that the "pssht" noise of the comlink was the soundeffect for the Bump."

Correct. This also brings to mind the "noise" that is heard when Obi-wan distracts the two stormtroopers at the tractor beam station. Again, there is a random machine sound effect that is heard near the time of Obi-wan's gesture, but careful analysis shows that the sound effect starts seconds before Obi-wan begins his gesture.

ADigitalMan, I would suggest comparing the two sounds. They are different.

I'd certainly like to. It would be great to have a version with all the possible soundtracks (PCM, my 5.1, OT DVD 5.1, ISOMIX isolated score, Def Col commentaries, OT DVD commentaries, etc.) This would likely be a separate version from the straight X0 version (and hopefully DVD-9 as well, though the PCM track would take up the most space.)

Sigh, so many ideas...

"What format is the raw capture in? Is it mpeg2"

No. It is raw, uncompressed AVI. It's the best state the master can be in , which is why it is 80 Gbs. It will have to be compressed to MPEG form to fit a DVD-9 (much less for a DVD-5).

"if yes, is it watchable? meaning does it require any color correction or anything like that"

It will need color correcting, but not much.

"going from an 80gig file to a 8.5 gig dvd isnt that gonna require alot of compression, thereby reducing the quality significantly? Would anything else be done with prior to putting it on a dvd"

Uhm, this is how all DVDs are made. Regardless of the quality of the master, the final product still has to fit on a DVD - unless you want it on two or more, a la Lord of the Rings or Das Boot.

"sorry for any of the real newbie-ish questions"

No problems...keep askin'

"but its a SATA version don't know if thats any good for you?"

Ooh, that's a good question. You might want to look for an extra controller just in case (I have to use PCI controllers in both computers, because the onboard bios won't go beyond 137 GBs. My second controller includes SATA along with the ATA.)
