Just a quick update. I finished putting the DVD project together for ANH, I am actually re-encoding the video just now as I found I had some spare space to fill, so I have increased the bit-rate of the main feature to the max my encoder will allow (7.7mbps VBR Max 9mbps) Once this is done I will be ready to build the DVD image which I will then burn and preview to make sure I am happy with it.

If all goes well this should mean ANH will be finished by the end of today, and then I can get cracking on ESB. :)

 Excellent news , thanks Lee.

I have an update on my progress. I have finished editing ANH together and it is encoding to MPEG2 / DD 2.0 AC3 as I type. Once that is done I will be ready to start authoring the ANH DVD.

Murry Sparkles as the only person besides myself with a copy of my '97 SE what did you think to the menus I put together for that release? I have an idea for what I am going to do for the menus on this release but I need some help.

Does anyone know where I can find high quality, preferably widescreen versions of the original trailers for the '77 '80 and '83 releases (ANH, ESB, ROTJ)? Any and all help is appreciated!

I am open to not having menus at all, although I think I would prefer to have them then not. :)

 Lee the menu's you made for the 97S.E. editions were a welcome suprise and very well done. If it doesnt take anything away from the picture quality i would include them again, including the trailers from the original trilogy is a brilliant  idea also.

Without a doubt its Star Wars. I didnt have a VHS the first few times ITV showed it but i always watched it every time it came on, usually around Christmas. It was also the first VHS tape i ever owned back in 1988.

Mine came from my daughter , instead of typing the Murry Sparkles( Elmo's cats name!) name into a Disney site she opened the wrong window on the desktop and typed in the name Murry Sparkles. I wanted to be called Al Bundy after one of my favourite TV characters, i had almost finished creating an account here when someone phoned so i clicked the page down, she opens the wrong page, fills out Murry Sparkles and creates an account for me as Murry Sparkles.

I think my preferred version is the unfiltered version , but they both look excellent , good work Lee thanks for putting so much effort into this. Really looking forward to the finished results. What do you prefer?.

What a shame, Irvin you made the best movie ever and i thank you for that.  R.I.P.

I'VE STARTED THE APRICOT SEED TREATMENT, BUT I STILL NEED TO START RADIATION TREATMENT WHICH IS FAR TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ME.  THE PROBLEM WITH THE APRICOT SEED THING IS THAT IT CAN TAKE 6-12 MONTHS BEFORE THERE ARE ANY RESULTS.  WHEN YOU'RE ON A TWO YEAR DEADLINE EVERY DAY COUNTS.  IF IT DOESN'T WORK THEN I'VE WASTED 1/4-1/2 OF MY REMAINING TIME.  ON THE OTHER HAND, IF IT WORKS THEN I HAVEN'T WASTED MY TIME.  THAT'S WHY I FIND IT IMPORTANT TO TRY TO GET THE RADIATION STARTED.  HELL, MAYBE A SPIDER WILL CRAWL INTO THE PATH OF THE RADIATION, BITE ME, AND GIVE ME SUPER POWERS?  

 Good luck with your treatment Dayv, ill be thinking about you , lets hope it works a treat. Good luck.

Pedigree Butchery - by Carcass.

Bob Dylan Wrote Propaganda Songs - by Brutal Truth.

 Hoth.

Lee i think they both look fantastic, if i had to make a choice i would take the unfiltered version but i would be happy with any version. Maybe make both versions?.

How about that Jason Garret , bring on The Saints.

Dayv, im sorry to hear about your recent health news , my prayers are with you and your family. Best of luck for the future.

I don't have much ideas for the backcovers, if just keeping it simple like this...

 

 

 

WOW , fantastic covers just like the old U.K. VHS style from the nineties.

 ah, so you are from Britain.  

Sort off.

Partial To Your Abracadabra - by Ian Dury And The Blockheads. 

Is this set CAV, does that make them better quality if it is ?

Lee have you had a chance to watch Empire and Jedi yet ?. Any reports ?.

As the Dallas Cowboys arent the nearest team to me also.

So why cheer for them?   Is it rings?   Is it star on the side of the helmet?  Both are dumb reasons to cheer for them.

 

 The Dallas Cowboys were the first American football team i ever saw playing on British t.v. in the mid eighties and ive been a fan ever since , even through the 1-15 seasons and before the three superbowl wins ( OH YEAH ) of the nineties. 

Absolutley, how could they describe the set as having Star Wars but the actual version is the 1997/2004 S.E. ?. But being as stubborn as george lucas is it most probably is Star Wars as it only exisits now.

Maybe I'll give New Orleans a spin.  I've always liked Brees.

is that the closest team to where you live?

No, but I don't like the ones I live near.

 Sluggo who are the teams nearest to you ?. As the Dallas Cowboys arent the nearest team to me also.
