Hey there- how's this set coming along? I'm still very eager to check this out, it sounds fantastic. I could even trade you Legendary Pink Dots live recordings for it if you'd like (have a few Denver shows even). Thanks again for doing this!


It's underway and I expect it to be done in October or MUCH sooner, The 1080i to DVD's isolated track is 60% done now I have EVERYTHING on my HD now so I need to figure out how to complile it all...


So is it done yet?

Also this may be able to continue as a supplement to the upcoming 2007 boxset.

Don't seed, Joy Sales will release this officially!


They will? Sweet! Any news on what's gonna be on the DVD?

EDIT: Well I read the thread and it's pretty cool that we're gonna finally get the original version. It's a real shame that this guy put so much hard work and research into this.

Well, in the original Star Wars Classic, the film isn't actually running at the normal 24 frames per second. It was edited in 24 frames per second, but Final Cut Pro, when exporting it, changed it to 30 frames per second, adding lots of "junk" frames. So the movement isn't smooth, it's slightly staggered, which is evident in camera moves.

I also edited it using the miniDV codec, which is a very limited codec - when the codec comes up with oversaturated reds, blues, yellows or other colors, it renders them as blocky blocky blocks - looks very ugly. I now use the PhotoJPEG codec for DVD work which isn't limited in that way.

What I'm saying is, it would just look better if I edited it again.

My source for the laserdisc material in Star Wars Classic was the Cowclops 2.0 transfer, which was a very nice transfer, but for Empire and Jedi I had discovered Moth3r's superior PAL transfers - which I wish I'd used for Star Wars Classic. Now there's the 2006 Lucasfilm transfer, which is superior to the other laserdisc transfers out there, including even Moth3r's in most ways.

In addition there were a couple of errors in the edit. Anyone who's seen the edit knows that somehow a CGI shot I had deleted accidentally returned and slipped into the final Death Star battle by mistake ....

So yeah, a few things I could do differently.


Okay. Can you include the mono mix in there in addition with your custom mix?

You might see more of this in the near future...


It keeps freezing. It gets to the part where it starts going up the tower then it freezes back to a zoom in of Zig-Zag when he's saying "We Rejoice..."

Preserving the...<em>cringe</em>...Star Wars Holiday Special (Released)

This is assuming that the various sources could be alligned to match eachother.

And by extension could comibing audio from different version yield a better audio track? Is there such a thing as 'audio average' different sources together?
I like the idea, but I think part of the problem is that the KCCI version is so much better than any other source in terms of quality that it seems unlikely there would be much, if anything, to gain from even bringing one of the other copies into the mix.

The other problem most likely is finding someone with both the skills and the inclination to work on such a project. I might have the inclination, but certainly not the skills required.

But I don't want to discourage anyone else who might be so skillfully inclined.

Well we could use the "remastered" version as a fill-in to cover up the network logo and use part of the full version of whatever composition was used in the credits to cover up the announcer talking.

Idea: Preserving STAR TREK - a preservation project?

Hey guys, don't forget the version of The City on the Edge of Forever with different sound effects. Also can't forget that early remastered version of The Doomsday Machine that's up on YouTube.

Originally posted by: skyjedi2005
is anyone going to capture any of the new remastered episodes of TOS?

I think the dvd release is too close to this to consider doing a preservation according to this sites rules I guess.

At 2:00 a.m. were I live tonight they are showing the new cgi version of city on the edge of forever.


I doubt it's allowed since a Blu-ray or DVD release isn't too unlikely. I think the Star Trek Special Edition aired on Sci-Fi is worth preserving though.

I'm mostly interested in preserving concept art and scripts of Phase II though.

I was pretty good in general about changing the guards to darken them up - considering it was something I did for the heck of it at the last minute. Some shots were difficult to change - lightening Tack's face would have taken some effort. The storyboards clarify that Tack's face is indeed still white at this point.


It's the part when they're first entering the witch's lair. I'd give a screenshot but VLC is refusing to make screenshots.
