It's just a comment copied from post #6 of this thread.

I'm starting to get suspicious about this account - it has the hallmarks of a Russian spambot, but hasn't actually tried promoting anything (yet).

I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this but the 1990 ROTJ (which of course is a re-package of the 1986 JPN release) has the full dialogue of Lando in the Falcon which is missing from all the other pre SE releases.

Interesting discovery - what bits of dialogue are missing from the earlier LDs?

The Phantom Menace JPN LD (tried to locate the theatrical cut at various places online and the best I ever found was a VHS rip with static on the audio and elements of "Macrovision resistance").

You might want to look for Adywan's restoration of the theatrical cut, probably about the best you can get. http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/The-Phantom-Menace-Theatrical-Version-NTSC-DVD-ADYWAN-NOW-AVAILABLE/topic/10615/

The garbage mattes (and emperor's slugs) do not need to be removed - on a properly exposed transfer and a correctly calibrated display you won't be able to see them, just as they were not visible in the cinema.

The mattes stood out on the early video transfers becasue the laserdisc and VHS releases were horrifically over-exposed - they have that washed-out look with an overly bright midground. The THX laserdisc master (used on the GOUT) was better, but is still too bright.

The mattes should not be visible on the 2004 DVD (which is actually underexposed - too dark - with crunched blacks and detail lost in the shadows) but people still see them because they have their TVs left in the overbright, oversharp factory-preset mode.

I thought he was a Playboy centrefold on the inside, or was that just a rumour?

In an interview, Kenny Baker himself confirmed that some of the guys on the crew taped some pages from magazines on the walls of Artoo's insides for him. Don't remember all the details, or where to look for the interview.

I think that was mentioned in Kenny's interview on Bring Back Star Wars.

Thanks Adywan for these terrific creations, I really can't wait to sit and watch them.

I'm currently downloading Episodes IV & V but can anyone send me Episode I as I'm having a hard time sourcing a download. Money's tight, so please don't tell me to hit the newsgroups. I've already considered that and I really can't afford it.

I'm in the UK if that's any help to anyone.

What a BS that you cannot afford usenet, there are usenet servers which make it possible to send an SMS per day u use. That will be a lot cheaper then anyone from here copying a DVD and then mail it to you........

That reminds me, I had a pack of the new old 1977 Monster Munch the other day. They were just how I remembered them.

AvP, thank you for taking the time to upload. I don't use RS sites myself but I'm sure that others appreciate it.

My intention for this thread in the off-topic forum was as an alternative place for all the "Usenet vs torrents vs RS discussion" we were getting in the project threads. I don't mind if you want to put posts like the one above - which is basically just an announcement - in the actual project thread.

Has anyone tried the audio fix yet?

Yes, no problems here, the reuthored disc tested OK in PowerDVD. Not burned it yet.

My surround sound system is temporarily dismantled (due to a certain toddler pulling speaker stands over) so I won't be able to compare audio for a while.

Just a heads-up for anyone who might be interested: there appears to be a bit of a babyhum flood going on in a.b.starwars at the moment.

Great, thanks Jay. One minor point: the words "and preservation efforts" should be removed from the description of forum 11 ("Fan Edits of Other Films").

I will now start moving threads to add content to the new forums - please bear with us while things are being moved, there is bound to be some confusion and "lost" threads at first.

There are 720p re-encodes for both ToD and LC knocking around (and they pre-date the Sky broadcasts), so the original HDTV caps must have appeared at some point.

Ric won't be posting again unless he has been pardoned. It's been over 24 hours by a good amount, which could mean that Ric is in the clear. But no official word so far. It seems likely that Jay is too busy with the site update to be bothered with this for the time being.

This is true - I think Jay has bigger fish to fry (like debugging the next revision of the forum software).

Just keep marching until the sarge shouts halt.
