I'd be down for a new-computer-for-Harmy donation for sure. I'd put down 50 bucks or something, "it's" worth way more than that to me anyway.

I'm fairly certain Angel is a he from Greece...and I'm hesitant to rag on someone for grammar when English is not their first language.
I on the other hand have no compunctions about ragging on someone's grammar when English is not their first language. Actually I encourage it. This is what makes me such a linguistic threat Frink and you such a language pussy.
How about giving him shit for something that really matters, like the all bold posting style? You're a font pussy, admit it.
This debacle will not help my reputation for being a font pussy.

Also, I'm trying to figure out a three letter swear that would be worse than "shit" as to where you would decide to star it out. Ass doesn't seem to qualify, so...???
I'm leaning hard towards tit.

LOL, more like Moses, just look at his followers, impressive.
When he came down from the mountain holding these don't think I didn't see you off to the side, seething. I was behind the golden cow jerking off, and I saw the whole thing.

Coming from someone who has actually watched each one a couple times the image quality is fantastic and nowhere near a "rough cut and paste job," it's borderline seamless the vast majority of the time. Consistent image quality throughout are these presentations' primary accomplishment.

For me it's little things like Vader's white saber saber
....
regardless they are Harmy's choices to be made.
No, things like that were Lucas' choices / oversights (or someone else on staff) prior to the movies being initially released.... because it was in the original, it's in this as it was.
This project's purpose is to restore the original theatrical presentations as faithfully as possible given the constraints of the sources Harmy is working with. It isn't to correct "errors" in the originals. Everything in the originals, "errors" or otherwise, are important parts of the fabric of the original releases.... and that's what he's trying to recreate.
Color timing is another issue. I have my own nitpicky bullshit when it comes to the color timing, but I don't doubt Harmy is trying to duplicate what he believes was the original color grading.

I read this as homoerotic "bards," and for a moment my interest was so, so piqued.
You said that exact same thing about Harmy that night.
I just did you in again Frink, that's a double whammy.
*licks finger, touches air in front of face*
Dinkins, 2.
Frink, Zero.
The last time you got drunk in this thread you woke up next to Frink. Frink was walking bowlegged for an entire week.
If you don't stay the fuck out of this Harmy I'll probably end up wrestling the shit out of you too. When I get started I don't stop, I'm like a diesel motor, so keep that in mind. There's not a person on the last two pages that won't get a taste of this.

Sorry, I like Woman.
That's something a caveman would say!

You're getting awfully defensive about this.
Calling it a fan edit is kind of silly. It's a matter of semantics, so on some level one could consider this technically a fan edit since it's not working from a single dedicated source, but the fact is when someone refers to a "fan edit" it carries a definite connotation. It sort of implies that someone has taken something and purposefully altered it so it doesn't resemble the original presentation but rather reflects their own specific vision. Harmy is doing the opposite here, trying to recreate the theatrical presentation as faithfully as he can manage. Semantics aside, a project with that singular purpose isn't the kind that springs to mind when talking about fan edits... for me at least.
Then again, the exact descriptor attached to the project doesn't really matter to me in my book. It's the project itself, and its goal - that's what matters.
And that is exactly what he is doing, he is altering the 2004 SE HD broadcast to reflect the his own specific vision of the untouched original trilogy, which in my opinion and obviously a few others, will never be 100%, and then you call me silly for thinking this is a fan edit, and then you go and prove my damn point, so Thank you very much for doing that sir, you the man!
He's not altering it to reflect his specific vision, he's altering it to reflect how it originally appeared in theaters as much as he possibly can while maintaining the visual fidelity of the source. It's the source he's working with that deviates from the original, he's trying to remedy that. He's not taking a source that mirrors the original and editing it based on a whim.... which is kind of what people expect when talking about fan edits.
If you want to wrestle me I'll wrestle you, I'll wrestle the bejesus out of you. I'm already naked. Let's do this.
I don't think it's negative per se, I have no problem with fan edits, it's just misleading when applied to a project like this. When considering a fan edit a project thats sole aim is to recreate the original theatrical presentation in the highest quality possible using various sources isn't really the sort of thing that comes to mind. A fan edit is more about the fan creating it and less about the original presentation, an edit with changes specific to that fan's preferences. Harmy's a fan who's editing various sources together to recreate the original version.... a totally different thing. In this case it's less about the fan and more about the film itself.

Hey, I do not care who likes what, or who dislikes what, my whole issue was the stupid ass comparing of a 4:3 LB DVD project to a HD sourced project, that to me was a dumb as hell comparison, if you guys here think that it is fair, good for you, but I certainly do not, I am happy that people here like Harmys work, I actually like some of it, but to me it is still not OT, sorry, that is how I feel(and Harmy knows this, we have talked a lot in PM's) and yes I do feel it is a fan edit, again sorry, that is my opinion, and if people here feel that this is a preservation\restoration, good, that is your opinion, we can all differ on that right? so in short, it just boils down to the comparisons, to me these are just fucking ridiculous is all, DVD to HD, what a fucking joke LMAO!
sorry Harmy, I will try and stay out for good this time.

I'm looking for all of them, not just SW. I didn't see final Empire or Jedi covers in the first posts of their threads.
Could someone post the final version (or versions, if there are more than one) of the BD case cart? Only interested in BD-sized, not DVD?
Yes.
Hellbot said:
I hate asking for anything when you have already provided so much, but I was wondering if there was any chance you could provide the DVD label art you posted, with the center filled in with the same art?
Same here, except I love asking it. Asking it gives me such a thrill this nerd boner won't start going down at all until just before I ask it again.
That's 3 hours from now by the way, one full hour before I'd have to contact my nerd doctor.
Isn't that predetermined by the data you're burning? I was never given an option to choose the layer change point (using IMGburn), and I didn't notice it changing over distractingly in the middle of a scene or anything. These seem to play perfectly as they are man, I'd say you're good to go once they're DL'ed as they stand without any additional tinkering or bullshit.
So Harmy you sassy salamander, this v1.2 is the only thing left to release, right? Jedi and Empire aren't needing of 1.2's are they (they seemed perfect when I watched them but just thought I'd double check)?
Does anyone ever take this covers to print out at Kinkos? I thought you weren't allowed to print out anything but original, non-copyright material. My home printer sucks too much to make anything decent.
Edit: Wrong thread.

^I care.
Also, the glitch was first noted on this forum, so I think every single member who has ever posted at ot.com should be included in the glitch name.
I can get behind this I guess. I'd include everyone apart from Murray Sparkles, though. It's obvious he only posted right after this suggestion so he could get a fat slice of this glitch.

LOL I thought harmy found the humdinger first?
Yeah, canofhumdingers discovered the glitch on Harmy's Despecialized edition, and brought it to his attention thinking it was a problem in Harmy's encoding.
Harmey then did the research and discovered this bad frame was evident on all releases of the film produced since the 2004 remasters
So I personally consider that Harmy should be partially credited in the potential of this discovery.
J
Absolutely. I also think I offered a lot of support and encouragement during the checking phase, so I honestly think I should get a little credit too. Since this is Jay's site he should also probably get a small amount of credit. Instead of the Humdinger glitch I think it should be the Humdarmy Jinkins glitch, it's also easier to remember this way.

"A Game of Thrones - The Movie"
Harmy, you nutty Euro sweetheart, I drank a good 15 beers tonight - a slight Irish buzz. I just finished watching SW DeSpecialized again all the way through. It really is fucking unbelievable what you've done.
It's like I'm a kid again watching my older brother's SW VHS tape.... yet it's perfect. Perfect AR, color.... unreal clarity. It's like reboot fucking childhood man.
I'm glad motherfuckers like you are around man, I really am. You've done some Hell of a thing here.
