I actually DID email about that set and I believe it was the guy that runs that site that told me about your set. I thought it was you who emailed me back (I posted the email above) and I was so disgusted by how much he wanted to rip me off for the set. I emailed him back and told him I would pay for the DVD-r's only and he never responded. I guess that wasn't you?

Yes...i'm on the dvddetective forums. Kinda just got on it. I have a good amount of imported DVD's but haven't used their services yet. Not too many that I still need. Mostly japanese releases.

an update: i got the supplements disc. VERY nice menus! I continue to be VERY impressed with this set.

How much does TR47 DVD box set cost?

I may consider shipping internationally soon, but for now, Ive got too much on my plate to handle any extra projects. TR47, I took the liberty of redesigning the bonus disc cover art, if you are interested in it, I can send it to you. I basically got rid of "return of the jedi" across the top, and replaced it with "star wars". On the bottom, I got rid of "bonus" and replaced it with "the definiteve collection bonus materials. I am going to go one step further, however, and totallly new design of the bonus disc cover art.

Ive had a chance to look at all 4 dvds, and I must say Im VERY IMPRESSED. I had created my own DVDs with a Panasonic DMRE50 recorder, and those were great, but I think these may have an edge in the compression. These have slighty less digital artifacting, especially when it come to fast motion. I highly reccomend them to anyone considering.

i second that tr47. if you could scan a pic of the opening yellow text crawl so i can see what that's like, it would be greatly appreciated.


p.s. - i sent you an e-mail about whether or not you could put the movies over 2 discs per movie (as in one disc per side - or are there more than 2 sides for the definitive collection?) instead of all on one disc and never got a reply back. if yours are really from the definitive collection, that would mean you could put the commentary on the discs as well....or at least have more disc space to get a better picture. to be honest i'm not really sure 2 or more discs would be an improvement, but it would at least be a faithful representation of th DC laserdiscs.

just a thought.

btw - if anyone is interested in the preservation of the SW LD's on DVD, DVDR Help has a thread dedicated to help people create their own "backup" editions of the OT. There's also this site dedicated to transfering the best possible edition of the OT LDs onto DVD. He needs as much help as we can give him.

Hope this helps.

I must confess, I bought a copy of the SE bootleg sets over a year ago. I didn't want to spend a ton of money for the OT which they were going for at the time, so I settled for the SE sets. Was pleased with the quality, not over-whemled. Basically, this was a way to tied me over till they officially came out on DVD. Now I'm fine with the SE sets, though I prefer the OT. I just can't stand a few new scenes in them (the Han scene, Jabba, and in ROTJ the band scene. I like everything else though, but do prefer the OT. Lucas has really pissed me off with his statements towards the OT which prompted to write a letter in which I got a response (supposively) from one of his secretaries. I will most likely buy the official SE sets (there's rumors of other changes which I'm interested in) but I'll buy it second hand so he won't see MY MONEY.

Since he announced the release of the SE edition I was happy at 1st but a little mad later. Like everybody else I WANT the OT on DVD. I feel out of respect towards his fans he should release them. He obviously doesn't need the money he'd make from them, or else he would have done it a while ago. Hey George, here's an idea, since you hate the OT so much release them and give ALL the money to charity. I'm still hoping he will release the OT as part of the Ultimate Editions sets rumored to be released in a few years. When they were selling the VHS sets for the "last time" I didn't really think he meant it. Obviously he does.

So this prompted me to buy the OT bootleg sets now. I paid around $55 for the set, so I'm happy about it. Here's a link to the set I bought. Watched it over the weekend, the quality IMO isn't has good as DVD but pretty damn close. There seems to be pauses throughout the film, which isn't that big of a deal its only for a split second. The sound is really nice, I'm able to listen to it in 5.1 surround sound. So that's my take on my experience with the bootleg sets. Let me know if you have any more questions about the OT set I bought.

Do you have any details?

Price?

Shipping?

Location?

Sorry if I sound rude or forward, but I'm anxious!

I'd choose a set transferred by someone who cares about the movie over a profit driven bootlegger any day of the week, but what we all really need to see is a screenshot comparison. I can host the images, if that's any incentive.

TR47, I've tried contacting you via PMs and email, but I've yet to recieve any reply. Shall I try again, or are you just not interested in dealing with a Brit?
