The line "there'll be no escape for the princess this time" should have been "there'll be no escape for the captain this time" - would have removed the continuity error later where C3PO doesn't recognise Princess Leia.
Much cheaper:
Doctor M, Japan is NTSC. You would hope the video is telecined with 3:2 pulldown and therefore IVTC-able, but of course there are no guarantees.
And yes there are burnt-in subtitles.
Personally I think at $400 it's overpriced; I'd wait and hope it doesn't sell and then gets relisted at a lower price.
Jay and I have both tested the password reset, and it works fine.
I suggest you use the forgotten password link to send a new password to the email address associated with your original account.
Looks genuine, or at least a very good hoax.
Don't know about a colour reference, but if it's IVTC-able, it would be a good frame reference (compared to the field-blended PAL versions).

Hi all, back from a short break in Brighton. Anything interesting happen while I was away?
Benidorm's back on. You're not in it this time.

That "screenshot" is from the mthr bootleg. As in, actually from mthr's color-corrected version.
Confirmed - the image seems to have been lifted from here: http://savestarwars.com/goutcorrect-starwars.html
You need to ask Jay, the forum admin.
Mods cannot change usernames.
Chris turned up on the MySpleen forums; looks like he's been sent an invite to the tracker.
Clearly a bootleg, and promoting the sale of bootlegs is not allowed on this forum.

There's a real DVD release for "Splash Too"? Buy it, rip it and upload it so I can enjoy it.
if it was a legitimate real DVD, you would be expected to purchase it - your post above is blatant piracy, and we don't allow that either.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that The Master used all his regenerations up very quickly in an attempt to escape punishment for his crimes. This is why he later had to resort to his "body snatcher" existence.
So, do you have any plans to run your ESB and ROTJ purist mixes through the improved surround decoding process?
(Please?!)
Thanks!

I am using RCA USB Cables,
Sounds like a generic USB capture device with RCA inputs. Do you have a make/model?
a VCR,
What deck? Does it have a built-in TBC or any image stabilization features?
and a VHS to DVD program called "Golden Videos".
Interesting, never heard of it. Why did you decide to use this instead of the popular free software VirtualDub?
I record the VHS footage on to a DVD
So your program converts to MPEG2 for DVD-Video on-the-fly?
(I only turn the Blu-Ray to 1080p HD by using "VideoPad" Video Editor to render it so, it can be played in 1080p HD. Then, I burn it onto a Blu-Ray Disc by using a Blu-Ray burner.).
Can you upload a sample of what this looks like? Would it not be better to let your TV do the upscaling?

If a logo is transparent you can reduce its visibility to a certain degree, but I think it would be hard to remove completely. I haven't seen the logo you're talking about though.
Here is a sample You_Too.
Now that would be extremely hard to remove. I guess I'd need a perfect copy of that logo with a clean background to be able to do a test. Not sure it would look good anyway.
Alpha-blended logos like that one can be removed quite effectively (but never completely) - you just need to find a frame with the logo over a black screen for reference.
For an example, see this post.
Possibly found the answer in the main thread:

I guess I never did actually mention it here, having only talked about it sporadically in other threads, but there is indeed a new version of the 70mm mix out there. The changes from the previous revision are minimal, with the main improvement coming from having used the Dolby Media Decoder application to upmix the laserdisc audio into five channels with Prologic II, which results in greater channel separation and consequently a more believable sound field.
I'm guessing the audio on ROTJ has not yet been updated with this improved channel separation?
I can't comment on the 2004 DVD or BD mixes as I've never heard them; I'm a little obsessive about "originality" and would always choose to watch, for example, Jaws or The Terminator with the original mono as opposed to a multi-channel mix.
I can't see how anyone could not be blown away by the power in hairy_hen's 70mm recreation for Star Wars. You should particularly listen to the dynamic range during sequences such as the Falcon's escape from Mos Eisley, or the section from Ben Kenobi's demise to the dogfight with the sentry ships .
That said, when listening to hairy_hen's purist mix for Harmy's despecialized ROTJ, I noticed a significant amount of bleeding of dialogue from the centre channel into the front left and rights. I say significant because, if I play the 1993 mix through my receiver in Pro Logic II mode, this bleed is much reduced. I thought that the 5.1 mix was created from a Pro Logic II upmix in software, so this is surprising.
My receiver has several settings to customise the sound stage when using Pro Logic II upmixing: "Dimension" (adjusts the soundstage towards either the front or rear), "Center Width" (adjustment of the center image spread across the three front speakers) and "Panorama" (extends the front stereo image to the surround channels). I think these options are fairly standard on DPL II receivers, however, these are only available on my receiver in "music" mode, not in the "cinema" mode which I use to watch films.
Not sure if it is explained elsewhere, but h_h can you expand on the method you used to convert the 2.0 into 5.1? Did you have control over the "centre width" option?
More info please, e.g.:
What VHS deck are you using? DVD recorder or capture card? Any post-processing (you need to at least IVTC if you want to upscale)? Why do you feel it is necessary to upscale to 1080p and what are you using to do this?
That sounds like inpainting - there is an AviSynth plugin called AVSInpaint which I've used in the past with varying degrees of success.

I've been playing the Zelda games for n64 (ocarina of time and majoras mask) on the pc connected to my hdtv with an hdmi cable, rendering all graphics at 1080P and with a custom texture pack that replaces low res graphics (which already look better upscaled) with hi res textures, and the pack is over 20 times the size of the entire game, it's a whole new experience, and it looks beautiful.
What emu are you using, out of interest?

Yes, this works for me.

PS> Moth3r, your PMs are full!
Sorry, fixed now.
Ask in this thread:
Pretty much agree with everyone who says the episode was a let down, although it did however have two things going for it - seeing the Seal of the High Council again, taken from the Master by the Doctor's 3rd incarnation in the Death Zone, and Jenna-Louise Coleman's legs.
Or is that three things?
I like Molly's wording.
Also her user title reminds me of the o o oa oa from this.
Seriously though, I would never support a "set in stone" disclaimer that was to be mandated for use by creators of these fan projects.
Did you read the thread I linked to? Did you see Nanner's post at the top of page 3?
