There's better fan editors here, I just was considering reconstructing the 1971 cut in color (as far as possible) from the resources we have.
I'm going to take it the 3.0 track poita procured doesn't contain the full Deems Taylor narration, or does it?
So I take it the majority of the differences are rearrangement of scenes, and not added or deleted footage?
I'm not familiar with THX, I'm mainly curious and from a preservation standpoint.
Does the BD still have the redubbed narration by Corey Burton?
How the HORK did you even manage to find that? O_O
Isn't that like the holy grail or something?
The plot THXens...
I hate plastering.
Nothing new, that's SOP for them.
I think in that mission he will prove, in the end, to have failed.
Well, that's better than it sounded =p, though I figured that's what you meant.
I've been criticized here for removing grain from my encodes...
As poita said, you take a big compression hit by leaving in the grain so it's a bit of a tradeoff whether you want a more filmic appearance, vs. better compression, and I tend to prefer a sweet spot that still has a little bit of grain, it's not swimming in it like say the Dragon Ball Z Levels, or the Puggo 16mm encodes, but it's not completely grainless, flat and looking like video.
Of course for the master preservation from which everything else derives, you want everything intact :P - you can take something away, but you can't add it back later.
Just an opinion on my end.
People say stuff all the time. Until the actual lost footage turns up, it's still just talk.
Oy. Another good movie lowried.
Don't hold your breath - far as we know NOBODY does.
In theory it should be removable. I remove logos for Japanese TV stations from TS dumps I encode all the time (mostly Nittele and Animax), but I rely on logo masks other people create.
Maybe saving to BMPs and using FFMPEG to convert it to avi (I know it can do it with png and gif) would have worked better :/?
But they say hindsight's 20/20.
The ultimate standard for ANH, imo, will be whatever HD rip of a 35 comes out, along with the 1977 mono, stereo and surround mixes (or at least the first two with hairy_hen's 5.1 mix). :P
I hear ya. I'm shuffling around stuff constantly to make sure I have the space I need for stuff.
And a necro at that.
All I know of WOWOW is their airing of the xxxHoLic movie which I turned into a multilingual version, and that's in damn good quality for a satellite rip.

I managed to find a copy online to watch a couple months ago. The quality wasn't HD or anything, but it was serviceable. I honestly found it a beautiful movie; those who call it racist are either overtly-sensitive members of the PC police or haven't even seen the movie in the first place.
Damn straight. We don't need no stinkin' SJWs!

Same. Personally, I very rarely post because I don't have much to say, and don't like to flap my jaws on forums (I'm an IRC person).
I've lately become active on Twitter, mainly out of necessity (I'm in contact with some Apple ][ preservationists and am building off their work by porting the disks they rip to make them hard-drive installable).

Spot on.

MySpleen's been bouncing up and down past day or so, I just hope they'll be stable enough...
