51" Hitachi LCD Rear Projection TV
Sanyo Z1 Front Projector (approx 100" screen)

To judge sound quality:
Denon 3802 Receiver
Energy Veritas Speakers
SVS 16-46 Subwoofer

All calibrated by AVIA.


You sound like you know what your doing

I would by far at this point suggest you!!!

Hey, TR47 you should seriously consider loaning him your DVD's for a week or so - I'm SURE that he'll mail them back to you fast!

These are bootlegs and sometimes bad ones dude.

The quality is dubious at best for all the sets even yours.

If you don't think that the pillerman.net site reviews your stuff to your liking don't send him your stuff after reading trhe review of the Dual Layer Set the average reader will come to their own opinion based on how it is read.

My impression is it's not much worse than yours - You can send me a copy on loan (I'll mail it back to you) or another unbiased person (AND WE SHOULD LET THE FORUM CHOOSE the reviewer BASED on System setups) so WE as a forum can best determine if it really is worse then yours.

I feel that the pillerman.com site is kinda biased toward you and i'm sure others share this feeling also.

Your set is very nice and everyone likes it hell I even love the sound on your set.

And those are the facts -

Dude - I quoted your site - Using the wording from your site it shows yours is BETTER + What false statements?
After reading your review It would seem that the DL set is not near as good as yours for the actual video transfer but it seems loaded with special features.

AND did you not notice that I already included a link to your site????

Yes, TR47 your set is nice and there was NO insult implied at all.

Please calm down dude your being WAY over protective of your TR47 Original Trilogy DVD set

Don't say "because they are clones" or I'll feed you to the Sarlaac.


Great call - I was actually thinking that as I was reading then when the thought was about to percolate out when BIZZYBAMM!

This is the very same Dual Layer Set that TR47 was talking about on the pillerman.net site here

All the specs on this set are Here and the video quality is that of the TR47 set

Quote
"Anyone who already has TR47's set should not worry about needing to upgrade – the differences in the two are generally subtle and I certainly wouldn't consider them worth the $30 investment. These dual-layer discs are better packaged: while TR47 has been including a CD-R full of different cover art files for some time, you still end up with bare and unlabeled DVD-R's that you have to find a case for and print covers for"

OH my suggestion...

How a bout calling them ...... (drum roll )

The Journal of the Whills: UNAUTHORIZED MAGNOLIAFAN COLLECTION

Chapter I: Balance of the Force
Chapter II: The Clone War
Chapter III: Rise of the Empire

Chapter IV: The Hidden Fortress
Chapter V: Son of the Sons
Chapter VI: Power of the Force

OR

for Chapter III: Dark Force Rising

for Chapter V: keep The Empire Strikes Back or maybe.. Tremors in the Force IF you Keep Retun of the Jedi

for Chapter VI: keep Return of the Jedi

I do not see the need to keep similar titles or theme like Lucas chose to do

Granted I like "Revenge of the Sith", besides the back to back "of the"s and the fact that 9 out of 10 people who I've met who heard the title ask, "What the hell is a Sith and why do they need revenge?"
They didn't even slightly recall the few throwaway lines in TPM and AotC.

Oh, and a website is still on the to "do list".

Most of the covers have been reworks of old ideas. No offense intended to anybody, of course.
I like the recent creativity. The yellow-gray boxes and Soulflare's are very original and creative.
I *still* can't wait for Soulflare to come back and post hi res versions.

Great great great great work, guys. Keep it up!

What is everyone's favorite so far?

Maddy is doing AWESOME - we hope to have her home later today or tomarrow morning. The operation went smooth but she was on an epidural drip for about 4 days for the pain... So she was kinda outta it but she has recovered fine and has already started to play like it didn't happen

I really hope they let here come home today cuz' I'd love to get some real sleep! (I've been sleeping at the hospital on one of those sleeper chairs )

Anyway...

I'm just amazed at all the support we gotten - Rayna, Corbin, Maddy and myself truly appreciate all the kind words and wonderful emails we gotten. I would really like to thank you all for your everything, guys you've been really great again thanks!

Sincerely,
Rich, Rayna, Corbin and Maddy

A. By bidding on this auction, you understand that you must already own these films on another format (VHS, Beta, LD, VCD, etc.) and that you are purchasing these DVDs for repository purposes. IF you do not OWN these films, you may purchase them for evaluation purposes only, with the intent to dispose the discs within 24 hours. Since the original Star Wars Trilogy will remain unreleased in the USA (or anywhere else) these films can now be interpreted as public domain and are therefore not protected by American copyright under the Berne Act. I offer these discs as a service to true fans that wish to enjoy these films as they have been originally presented.
Absolute rubbish, it is not legal at all. Not in the US, not here. In fact here it's even less legal since we don't have laws protecting acceptable use (but acceptable use is not prosecuted, it could be here). In Australia it is illegal to make personal back-up copies of Movies, of CDs - even if it's to use an MP3 player or a minidisc player it is illegal. Making compilation CDs from CDs you own is illegal. Taping a TV show is illegal under Australian law. The only thing you are legally allowed to back-up is computer software (that does include video games, but it does not make downloading ROMs you own legal). I know the US has different back-up laws, you can tape TV shows, you probably can make compilation CDs legally and personal DVD back-ups.


Here is the actual "Berne Act" ....

Copyright Law of the United States of America and Related Laws Contained in Title 17 of the United States Code

Circular 92

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Appendix II.
Berne Convention Implementation Act of 19881
Sec. 2. Declarations.
The Congress makes the following declarations:

(1) The Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, signed at Berne, Switzerland, on September 9, 1886, and all acts, protocols, and revisions thereto (hereafter in this Act referred to as the “Berne Convention”) are not self-executing under the Constitution and laws of the United States.

(2) The obligations of the United States under the Berne Convention may be performed only pursuant to appropriate domestic law.

(3) The amendments made by this Act, together with the law as it exists on the date of the enactment of this Act, satisfy the obligations of the United States in adhering to the Berne Convention and no further rights or interests shall be recognized or created for that purpose.

Sec. 3. Construction of the Berne Convention.
(a) Relationship With Domestic Law. — The provisions of the Berne Convention —

(1) shall be given effect under title 17, as amended by this Act, and any other relevant provision of Federal or State law, including the common law; and

(2) shall not be enforceable in any action brought pursuant to the provisions of the Berne Convention itself.

(b) Certain Rights Not Affected. — The provisions of the Berne Convention, the adherence of the United States thereto, and satisfaction of United States obligations thereunder, do not expand or reduce any right of an author of a work, whether claimed under Federal, State, or the common law —

(1) to claim authorship of the work; or

(2) to object to any distortion, mutilation, or other modification of, or other derogatory action in relation to, the work, that would prejudice the author's honor or reputation.

Sec. 12. Works in the public domain.
Title 17, United States Code, as amended by this Act, does not provide copyright protection for any work that is in the public domain in the United States.

Sec. 13. Effective date: effect on pending cases.
(a) Effective Date. — This Act and the amendments made by this Act take effect on the date on which the Berne Convention (as defined in section 101 of title 17, United States Code) enters into force with respect to the United States.2

(b) Effect on Pending Cases. — Any cause of action arising under title 17, United States Code, before the effective date of this Act shall be governed by the provisions of such title as in effect when the cause of action arose.

Appendix II Endnotes
1Part II of the Appendix consists of provisions of the Berne Convention Implementation Act of 1988, Pub. L. No. 100-568, 102 Stat. 2853, that do not amend title 17 of the United States Code.

2The Berne Convention entered into force in the United States on March 1, 1989.

I downloaded the torrent yesterday, and there is some really fine work on there. Anyway, just curious to get your thoughts on the idea, and maybe set up the submission policies if you decide to do it.


I would be honored to have all of these wonderful covers in the set !!

- I will actually upload a new torrent next week or so with all the new covers in it so it woulr be a small 50-100mb torrrent - SO yes I will do it.

AFTER Maddy is home I'll get on-line with a messenger service and we can transfer the files or you can email them to me - BUT first let me get things back to normal here at home.......

So I'll post a way to send me the cover art

I'm gonna need to get new ink so I can also print these new covers!

DANG guys - you/ve all done MIGHTY fine work!!
