This sequence was the last thing shot.
Really? I never knew that. I'm curious. Sorry for being off topic but do you know the approximate shooting schedule of Star Wars in general? I know that they shot the desert sequences early on, but I'm not sure about much else.
Soccer.
Who was a better Vito Corleone: Robert De Niro or Marlon Brando?
LOL. What is that purplish spot on Carrie's right side though? Is it just an artifact of the film?

The video footage is exactly as it was in the source
To be honest, watching the DVD, it did seem to me that the brightness was taken down a few notches and there were some compression artifacts (mostly slight blocking). The Revisited footage was not as clean as in the Revisited DVD. I couldn't notice these things on a computer, but once I was watching it on a 58" screen, it became apparent.
It's important to note that the DVD player can indeed factor into how visible these imperfections are. For example, very good OPPO upconverters can highlight flaws that other players don't show. In any case, the quality was still very watchable for me.
(aside from the MF's defense on the Ties as it escaped the Death Star - and I WILL be cutting that in the 1080p version)
You're making an HD version?! Do you plan to work on this this before the sequel edit or afterwards? In any case, I look forward to that scene being cut. As iconic as it is, it does not make sense in the context of your edit and seems to cheery, breaking the really great solemn mood you set after Ben's death. I believe I even pointed this out in my initial review.
Once I get the teaser up, you'll see what I mean
Definitely excited for that teaser.
dark_jedi, I've been listening to some of it and loving it. Terminator is now the classic 1980's action movie it should be, except now it's in HD. The PCM sounds quite clear, but, of course, the dialogue and sound effects still sound cheap and hollow because of the budget of the film. I'm still watching through, but, so far, no sync errors! :-)

Do you worry about Lucasfilm coming down on you for doing this? Seems risky no?
He does, and that's precisely why he plans not to release it.
I just got the DVDs, so I will be uploading this weekend to MultiUpload. I'll also be uploading Lee Thorogood's set right afterwards. Apologies for the delays.
I for one would be absolutely interested in this. I've always loved the Terminator and the 5.1 mix ruins it for me. Terminator always struck me as a B-Movie, and the hollow sounding dialogue as well as the cheaper sounding gun shots add to this atmosphere. The LD would definitely be a great source for the audio.

Star Wars was shot on relatively fine-grain stock; what we're used to seeing is not representative of the negative.
Ah, I see. All right. I didn't know that. Thanks for the info, mverta. :-) Out of curiosity, lack of resolution, crushed blacks and color issues aside, is the 2004 master's smoother look closer to how a film print looks than the grainier LD releases or GOUT?
I don't do any noise reduction or grain removal. I do, however, use tools to recover detail from within grain structure.
Thank god. I can't stand noise reduction. I just didn't know that Star Wars had inherently fine grain.
Just noticed that a beta of this had been released. Can anyone shoot me a PM where it is? I can't find it on Demonoid and it does sound interesting.
Whoops. Thanks for the correction, msycamore. I find it hard to remember the Swedish title. Edited the original post.

What do you mean, "However"?
The "However" was an accident. I edited it from the initial post. I am wondering though why I can't see any fine grain structure in the Legacy picture. Is it non-grainy by nature?
Thanks for updating, Mike. It seems that the Legacy frame has visibly better quality and detail. I like the colors as well.
Agreed. Fantastic improvement. It looks more natural than the one in V1 and has a good amount of contrast.

I didn't realize the GRANDE was available! How did I miss that?! :/ Anyway, off I go to get it...
Is that a joke Ripplin? It's been awhile. :-)
In any case, it's really good. You'll enjoy it. If you want a Swedish-subtitled version, the Stajanornas Krig is also available.
I agree with CP3S; the Revived Series sometimes does have its campy moments, which the old series ironically had less of.
In any case, if you want to are interested in Classic Who (1960s-1980s), start with the first episode of the series then jump around however you want. If you are interested in Modern Who (21st Century), then I would recommend starting with the Fifth Series, as said before.
Funny, you should mention that Puggo. Initially I personally wanted to start with Tom Baker, but a friend convinced me to start with the American movie and even lent me his Region 2 copy (wasn't available here at the time)... In any case, I don't recommend that route.
I would recommend starting in the actual TV series as that's really the main part of Doctor Who. For a newbie, Series 5 would be a good place to start. It'll introduce you to the current Doctor and then you can work backwards or forwards from there.
Time.
Bob Garcia's Upcoming Revenge of the Sith Fan Edit or 2011 George Lucas Version of Return of the Jedi?
First one.
Martin Sheen or (young) Charlie Sheen?
"Staying Alive" followed by "Never Going to Give You Up."
I love that poster!!! I do eagerly await in anticipation for the sequel.
NIN: Ghosts I-IV
Which song is better: "Never Gonna Give You Up?" or "Staying Alive"?
Yes... I do realize they're completely unrelated.
It is sad and I hope he rests in peace. He was quite the visionary. I suppose it isn't that shocking, considering his previous health issues and retirement from Apple; still, the world has suffered a great loss. He was the man who managed to market technology like touchscreen pads and touchscreen phones to mass populaces well.
Interesting. I actually was reminded of this thread, but that one seems to fit the purpose of a hypothetical edit more.
Thank you so much v-ger06. Unfortunately, I believe it is against forum rules to directly link to a tehparadox page... just saying.
