I was thinking about doing a documentary about the original Star Wars trilogy. As in other fans what they like it more then a special additions. interviewing people from the mall and video stores and also just regular people that are fans of the original Star Wars trilogy. And why we are not happy with the changes of the films. And also show our unhappiness with some of the other products that fans have bought. example laserdisc 1989 and 1992 Star Wars release had widescreen problems. Also the newest Star Wars DVD has a 5.1 sound problem. and also the small line changes redits of Star Wars films that the common person does not know about.

this documentary could be downloaded for free. or sold in video stores around the world. The main point is too get a bigger push for the original Star Wars trilogy.

Another question: Is there a Dual-Layer version of the MF edits available, or was it published as single-layer from the master?

AND on that note...

Can you please at least post a 3 minute clip of your restoration?

I mean you can legally post a link to a 3 minute clip (AS this is for an EDUCATIONAL MUTIMEDIA PROJECT) - you would be in no danger of doing this -

Here's some more info on this so you know I'm not pulling your leg.

A 1994 Conference on Fair Use (CONFU) developed guidelines to determine fair use portions of copyrighted works in educational multimedia projects:
Motion Media - Up to 10% or 3 minutes (whichever is less).
Text Material - Up to 10% or 1000 words (whichever is less).
Poem - An entire poem with less than 250 words, 3 poems by same author and 5 poems by different author.
Music, Lyrics, Music Video - Up to 10% of an individual work (no more than 30 seconds per event).
Illustrations and Photographs - Up to 5 images by an artist or photographer may be reproduced or incorporated. Up to 10% or 15 images (whichever is less) from a published collective work.
Numerical data sets - Up to 10% or 2500 fields or cell entries (whichever is less) from a copyrighted data table may be incorporated.

It's possible. I made that file so long ago, I can't even remember. I will probably remaster it.

Excellent picture, Blue Harvest!

I would like to get this set, is it in torrent form for download somewhere or anyway to get them?

So, to recap:

The 2 channel PCM, actually contains further channels, that can be read and divided by a Dolby decoder/reciever, so you have split these channels and recombined them to 5.1?

It's called Dolby surrond is teally a MATRIXED stereo track...

Dolby Surround 101 - The Matrix

Clearly, the concept is to store additional audio channels on two conventional stereo channels. The technique is to "matrix" the audio channels, a concept originally conceived and patented by Peter Scheiber and subsequently applied by Dolby Laboratories. Simply stated, if the sound mixer wants to place a sound in the front center speaker, he would add that signal at equal amplitude and equal phase to both the left and right stereo channels. If the sound mixer wants to place a sound in the surround speakers, he would add that signal to the left stereo channel shifted by 90 degrees, and add the same signal to the right channel shifted by -90 degrees (so the surround information is of equal amplitude and 180 degrees apart - inverted - on the stereo channels). When such a matrixed stereo program is passed through a Dolby decoder, the sum of the left and right becomes the center. (The center is needed to position certain sounds at the center of the screen for off-center viewers, dialog in particular.) The difference between the left and right channels becomes the rear. I'll remind you that Dolby Surround channels are indeed monaural. The disadvantage of this passive decoding system is that separation between adjacent channels (L-C, R-C, R-S, or L-S) is only 3 dB.

Dolby Surround 102 - Pro Logic

Dolby Pro Logic enhances Dolby Surround by using a number of techniques to increase the separation between adjacent channels. Cancellation subtracts the left channel from the right and subtracts the right channel from the left. This has the effect of greatly reducing sounds intended to be directed to the center speaker in the left and right channels; signals that are common to both left and right are removed. Pro Logic controls this process by detecting sound dominance and its direction. If a sound is found to be significantly louder in any one direction such that it exceeds a predefined threshold, a fast acting voltage controlled amplifier enhances the dominant signal. These techniques may yield adjacent channel separations in excess of 30 dB for static test signals, but may exhibit problems for dynamic program material. (For the sake of this discussion, I'll omit descriptions of such manipulations as phase and pitch shifts to diffuse the surround sound, rear channel bandwidth limitations, and noise reduction - these processes are not relevant to front channel processing of Dolby Digital surround channel information.)
