I'm wondering if Lucas isn't thinking for himself anymore, if Ward and McCallum are pulling his strings, like some old marionette.

Then I was right on the money. XD They also say Franklin Gothic Demi.

Though I don't think their "A long time ago" shot is in the right font.

The subtitle font appears to be Franklin Gothic Demi Condensed, Bold, 56 pt, color #E0E7D3 (RGB triplet; SSA uses BGR).

From my empirical observations, as seen in this clip which is derived from the DVD, the match is close, if not identical.

This might be of use to some restorationists.

*^^*

I'm doing what I can. I don't expect my own restoration to be anywhere near perfect, just perhaps, an inspiration to other film hackers to improve on my own work (similar to mverta except I will probably *release* mine, in some format).

AVI Clip, XviD 0.9, 704x300, No Sound (858 KB)

This is a hack. I don’t think it’s very good but it’s my first try. I think the timing may be wrong.

Nonetheless, I’m sure I have the logo right (note the tilted zero). It comes from here and purports to have been ripped from the “Alien” PAL DVD.

The resolution of the video matches the resolution at which I am planning to encode the final reconstruction (and the resolution at which I encoded the Dr. Gonzo-derived AVIs I have of teh OOT).

I know the feeling. It was dealing with downloading 225 MB video files every week that pushed me to finally go get DSL a year ago.

I know the feeling, I found by trial and error that only -R discs work in my player. But it's great at handling really odd XVCD formats, except for those produced by FFMPEG's mpeg-1 codec...

I really do have that MEGO factor... XD

Anyway, the unofficial channel Jaster and I had on ChatSpike, I'm still holding that open, I don't like EFnet because there's no nick protection, no channel protection, and a 9-char nick limit, well, there's an unofficial chat page on http://www.dosius.com/irc/originaltrilogy.htm that points to irc://irc.chatspike.net/originaltrilogy - it's a Java applet. If you want Java chat, or if you want IRC, this gives you the best of both worlds. XD

I once used an open chat applet on my site to allow me to get into one of my other channels when away from home.

I can write another front end for #originaltrilogy (be it on EFnet or ChatSpike or elsewhere).

The line is something like this iirc: "You can't win, Darth. [If my blade should find its mark, you will cease to exist. But] I warn you, if you strike me down, I shall become more powerful that you can possibly imagine"

It's on the bonus DVD.

To view BOTF you need an XviD codec for the video and an AC3 codec for the audio.

It was the first rip I downloaded; since I've also downloaded the "Quality Broth" version of ROTJ.

I made AVIs of it, they went around a bit too, at a little above my normal encoding level they came out all under 700 MB, which is odd. I think it's that "softness" making it more compressible.

Working on the infamous Ch.49 - my preliminary edit is off by about 20 seconds or so. If I leave it, I'll have to do some major hacking on the audio (and I'm doing it blind) - so I'm going to rebuild the laser-rip clips, and measure the time difference per chunk one file at a time...

Most of these chapters can just be kept as they stand, I think.

LOL I know it means very little, but at least I'm doing what I can within the limits of my hardware and software. The real trick is going to be fixing the celebration, which I'm still not sure how I'm going to do it - but I'm going to do that first, and get it the hell out of the way. It's probably going to require a lot of splicing, and work without sound, adding the sound later. Considering my computer is too underpowered for anything much more complex than Virtual Dub this will be a real undertaking indeed ROFL.

Anyway, I plan to make SOME kind of release, though it will prolly be XVID.

Beginning of Day 1: I’ve ripped the disc, and I have a second reference also in vob format to use for comparison.

I’m going to make a reconstruction of Jedi. The target is an AVI which I can watch on my computer, since it’s too slow to handle mpeg2 encoding.

I’m going to revert many of the changes back to teh 1993 form of the movie. XD I’m working on it as we speak!

Currently: Breaking the vobs into more manageable pieces.
