The introductory guide linked to in the first post is very good, but perhaps a tutorial on how to create a BD out of the MKV should be added? This question seems to pop up a lot in this thread.
Cheers
Congrats on getting this far guys! 😃
I hate to keep belaboring this question but where would you find such an HDTV version?
On a HD channel on tv? 😉 Recordings are all over the interwebs, google and you shall find.
To be fair, the release of 2011 BDs essentially erased the 2004 HD from the public interwebs. Pirates don’t generally care about anything but the latest, which is problematic for preservationists.
There far from erased from Rutracker and Usenet.
OK then, so maybe not all over, but still available from here and there.

HDTV=High Definition Tele Vision. It’s recorded from a tv-broadcast.
Harmy, now that you’ve finally found some time to start tinkering with Jedi 2.0; will you try to take up ESB 2.5 as well, or is it on definite hold untill Jedi is finished? Those last screens posted in this thread looked very promising!
And was there ever a comprehensive to-do list posted for 2.5? As life goes on, and one tends to forget stuff, I had to take myself a trip back in time reading lots of old posts in this thread. I realized that I deleted v2.0 because 2.5 was just around the corner at one moment. Something about frames messing with audio-sync and typos in the credits. Then I assume it went out of hand as more 35mm footage was made available.
You havn’t forgotten that floor panel aboard the Executor that was lightened in the SE, I hope? 😉 Just realized that I’ve been a member for almost 9 years, and spotting that floor panel is still my greatest(only?!) contribution in the preservation/reconstruction of the OT…
As always, keep up the good work!
Nice to see that work has been -somewhat- resumed on this project, Harmy! The color correction screenshots looks great, that crawl really pops 😃 The corrected colors definetely look more vintage! I watched the YT-clip
and the info regarding ROTJ sounded very promising.
I seem to recall that tiny lightbulbs where used inside Palpatines hood to make his eyes glow. The lightsbulbs themselves would be visible by accident as he was moving his head and was therefore covered by a black traveling matte.
Probably they were much less apparent in theaters compared to home-video formats.
Can't remember if I ever saw a screengrab of it in Team -1's thread though..
Keep up the good work Harmy!
New probe droid looks great, Harmy! Keep doing what you're doing! :)
Looks absolutely great! Gotta love Max Reebo!

well who said fixing problems affects the true story of starwars? i wasnt saying add stuff i was only suggesting to maybe fix certain things in the original movie eventually. lets face it theres lots of incorrect problems with the visuals in the original trilogy.
You can't fix stuff in the original movie because then it wouldn't be the original anymore. Period.
Btw, are there also correct problems besides those incorrect problems..?
U bet I could, I'm not such a bad scanner myself..
10.000?? We could almost buy our own 35mm for that!
How about the actual official blurays?
Yay! :)
Seems rather pointless to me to!
*Feels instantly cooler for being able to contribute something*
Just had another look at the comparison gallery:

I noticed that the middle "tile" beneath Vader was darker in the gout.
May have been discussed before, if so I apologize :P
Donated! Not much, but money is always tight for some reason.. :/
So cool that it's finally happening! Might be able to chip in a few bucks.

Of all the GOUT upscales the ones that stick out like sore thumb for me are the unzoomed shots of the Falcon's cockpit, pretty sure those are priority number 1 as far as 35mm scans go for you.
I must admit that i havn't seen these scenes in motion yet, but was it that bad? Thought it looked very seamless in the pics a least.

You're all under arrest.
For being awesome.
I second that! Awesome post btw!
Stay on target now, guys! He's looking for the real originals (low quality)
It's great that you finally got it released Harmy! Thanks for your efforts and your seemingly never-ending enthusiasm! Really eager to check it out but a bit on the fence at the moment wheter I should give in to the fresh release or just sit tight like SirJonah suggests ;)

We will work something out with Harmy once we get more details about our prints, and also when he figures out what sections.
Most likely:
--------------
- Lapti Nek dance scene- Sarlacc pit- Ending sequenceTeam Negative1
And the original Rancor-compositing with those lovely matte-lines i hope! ;)
