Are you thinking about DVD-DL Blu Ray playable disc?

Oy, that would definitely be an online purchase for me, since the hicks in my half-a-horse town probably don't know that such a thing is possible. And how many have Blu-Ray recorders? The few here that do would be working overtime on that.

I'm really looking forward to those 'mock-ups' you and ImperialFighter are going to post. It's always fun to see the ideas, even if they don't all end up being used. :)

I've done too much work to forget about these now

 

Phew! ;)

Now where are those pesky Dual-Layer discs...I know I placed them around here somewhere...

The test disc is only 143MB, so a DVD-5 will do.

B'oh! I hope my hopes haven't just been dashed. :p One thing that would be different would be to scrap the commentary tracks and replace them with alternate mixes. Or, um...I don't know. Color correction? Just kidding. ;)

Once these are out, and with these and the wookieegroomer versions to compare with, anyone can do a color-correction, sound-fix if they wish

Yes, I was thinking of that earlier. Some excellent quality to work with and make new edits.

Just played the test disc on my 60GB NTSC PS3 (I can provide more specs if necessary) and it looked beautiful. It was on a 32" CRT using s-video, but still. ;)

Yep, I have the NTSC Version 3.0 as well. Great stuff! I am into trading, so if anyone would like to trade for a copy, let me know via PM. (doesn't have to be a trade, but if possible, I do like to compare lists)

I also have the ADigitalMan/Darth Editous Hybrid Edition, in SL and DL NTSC mode. It uses DE's footage, but has some extra ideas ADM liked incorporated into it.

[nevermind]

Wish we could delete our posts if they're no longer needed. ;)

One less space when hitting Enter would be nice, too. ;)

It's official; Ady is a nutter! In a good way, of course. ;) This is a bit of a shock, really. I look forward to hearing about distribution and such. I would really love to get the complete set somehow. Thanks for such an interesting and well, caring, side project, Ady!

I like the sounds of the pods in Episode I. But then in Episodes II and III EVERYTHING sounded like a pod racer!

 

That's pretty much how I feel. When I saw TPM, I did like the sounds of the various pod racers, even the ones that warbled or just had that 'thumpthumpthumpthump' (Sebulba?) sound. But then he just overdid it with the warbling and whistling and whathaveyou.

sorry been realy busy working on ESB:R pretty falt out along with a sideline project that i will be announcing shortly which should please PS3 and Blu-Ray owners :)

Ooo, I'm a PS3 owner! *preparing to be pleased?*

P.S. Saw "Wall-E" tonight and loved it. Mr. Burtt got it right on that one. :)

I was at my local (Ontario) Wal-Mart today and saw those Hannah Montana glasses, but I thought sure they were 50 cents. Didn't end up getting any, but I shoulda. Anyway, I've made my own before using those plastic essay folder thingies. Might still have them around somewhere.

Yeah, look at the end of his right sleeve in that picture on the left: dark brown. (that's what I see, anyway) It sort of looks navy-ish blue most of the time, though. Maybe it's a mood jacket.

Sounds good, lithiumus. :)

I'll second that. I always hated the "Motorboat" sound of the Slave-I in the 2004/Episode II editions...

I've said it before; the sound design in the PT bugs me more than anything else. It's the warbling engines and stuff that bugs me most. Every second pod racer did it, every second spaceship does it, even that big green creature in the arena in Episode II does it! RIDICULOUS! That's something I hope Ady will give some attention to when he gets there. It drives me nuts. It's like Mr. Burtt did it once and thought "that's neat," then went overboard with it. Oh, he also overdid it with the French horn or something-sounding flyover/flypass sounds, first heard by speeder bikes in ROTJ.

I also like the fact that you're upping blu-ray compatible versions, that is much appreciated.

Absolutely! *thumbs up*

I'll just mention this again since it didn't get a response earlier: someone should check the Behind the Magic CD-ROM for generator pics. ;)

Someone should check for generator pics on the Behind the Magic CD-ROM. I would, but I just opened my box and the disc isn't in it. Could take a while to find in this house. :p

Me too. :) Even attended a few "Trekker" parties many moons ago (just an excuse to watch a bunch of Trek before a new movie came out, really) My favorite series overall was Deep Space Nine, though I've enjoyed all of them to varying degrees.

While we're on Trek (we'll stop soon, I'm sure!), do you like it to any degree, Ady?

I think the best soundalike I've heard for Vader was on the old French versions. They did a really good job casting whoever that was. I dunno if it's the same guy on the home releases or what, but anyway, back before I had a VCR and all that jazz, I'd just watch it anytime, anyway. So when it came on the French channel, I'd watch it there.

One funny thing is that in A New Hope, they called Chewbacca "Chico" when calling him by his nickname. He was "Chewie" in subsequent versions.

That is so cool, 005! I just wish I knew when it was on. They don't mark it as Star Trek Remastered on my channel guide. I've only seen the new effects once while casually browsing.

 

Yeah, my DVR labels it as a repeat of Star Trek. It's usually on late Saturday nights and is the first thing preempted when anything happens. It's usually syndicated to CW's or MyNetworkTV's depending on where you live. In the US, now that I think about it. Not sure of foreign showings.

I think it was on Fox Rochester the time I saw it. I'll start keeping an eye out.

Oh, and Jor Tallen, that Wampa footage is most likely on "Building Empire."

Anyone have "The art of ESB" book? There are photos of the matte paintings in that.

I looked in it earlier for a shot of the Hoth generator, but no dice.

P.S. I appreciate that people are using the term CG rather than CGI all the time. I find people say it without thinking of what it stands for, and thus many times their statements are redundant. Heh.

I seem to remember reading articles way back when that said they planned on doing some 3-D version of the movies and a CG TV show and, and...I dunno. (that TV show was probably the recent cartoon series) Does anyone know the current state for future releases? Anything worth being interested in? :p

At first, I thought "oh, just a double post by mistake." Then I saw that they were seven minutes apart! Haha.
