So if I wanted to make an AVCHD version of this, what free programs are out there?
EDIT: Or DVD5.
Are there any shots in the 97 SE documentaries from ROTJ that might display the subs? I know this was true for Jabba’s scene in ANH.
I believe all shots in the documentaries are pan and scan shots, and therefore useless.
I should also throw my thanks in to Rob and the rest of the team. You guys are doing great work.
I posted that mostly as a joke. But the fact remains that I don’t have money to spare for Usenet, especially since I’d only use it a few times. It’s not about difficulty. I also know I’m not the only one who would benefit from an official torrent. I would really rather not try to dig it up through some shitty re-encode on a public tracker like a month from now if there’s a possibility of a proper Myspleen release.
I know that some of you youngsters think that the Internet began with the WWW and torrents, but you should really make the effort to learn about Usenet.
And Rob, thank you!!!
I’m poor.
Please for the love of God put it on MYSPLEEN. I can only use MYSPLEEN for religious reasons.
drifiting a bit off-topic, you can actually see David Prowse behind the Darth Vader (like you already know 😐) just a little thing I spotted while watching 2.7.
(NTSC DVD5 version)
increased brightness and contrast
I’ve seen this brought up in other places. Are people pointing this out as a mistake in the film?
There is supposed to be a guy in there ya know…
It’s Mannequin Skyguy!
I don’t think anyone’s pointing it out as a mistake, just more of a curiosity.
It’s time to stop.

There is one film I know for sure has a deliberately altered, revisionist CC. I think that it’s The French Connection. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

Also they digitally fixed some stairs in the 2009 remaster?
I got the stairs, but this just looks like a mistake, not an intentional mistake.
Imagine if Spielberg had directed. Sitting here wondering what if.
Steven could still make a Star Wars film yet. 😉
He would certainly be a better choice than Colin Trevorrow.
I hate to be “that guy”, but any updates?
Added.
Terminator and Devil’s Advocate added, as well as The Lion King.

Jedit: does “digital alterations” also include DVNR?
No, since that’s more of a remastering attempt.
Added!
Highlander 1
Highlander 2
Highlander 3
& you guessed it Highlander 4 urgh I mean Highlander Endgame 😃
This doesn’t tell me anything. Can you be more specific?
I believe I first saw the OUT around 1995, since my dad had the Faces box set. I don’t know for sure though since I was only 2 when those came out.
Well, this is depressing.
Yup. Be aware.
If you’re watching it on a screen that outputs 1080p, it’s kind of already doing that. Plus as it’s been said there’s not the biggest difference in quality:
This reminds me of the 2gb encode discussions…
How can we forget to include this? 😮
The Babylon 5 DVD’s have been visually altered (mutilated, really) in order for WB to market them as “16:9.”

The title seen during the closing moments of the Scarface Special Edition DVD, “this film is dedicated to Howard Hawks and Ben Hecht” has a different screen position and text colour from the version featured on the 1998 widescreen VHS release. I suspect but can’t confirm 100% that the VHS (and LD, presumably) title text is very likely from the theatrical print and de Palma probably created a new version for the SE DVD. Sadly I no longer have a copy of the W/S VHS release from which I could produce a comparison screen grab.
I included BTTF and Babylon 5.
I believe he’s suggesting doing an HD recreation using something like DeD.
The contrast/white levels of the 2004 transfer bothers me way more than the color. Everything looks so dim and the sabers never have a white core.
Well at least they fixed about 60% of the screwed up shots in 2011.
Try 20.
They should’ve just gotten the ILM guys who did the PT to add lightsabers to the OT if they felt a need to redo it. Either that or just left it as it was in 1997. I can’t really understand how anyone could have looked at those shots, which are the most iconic thing about Star Wars, and decide that it wasn’t still a work in progress. The PT had no noticeable issues with lightsaber color consistency or brightness, and George seemed to be into the idea of consistency between the trilogies.
Frankly whoever CCd the prequels should have been in charge of the OT. They should have finished ROTS and put all hands on the DVD.

You can’t really go wrong here.
You could also probably replace any of the SEs with the 97 and it would still work fine. I just stick to the “skip the bad ones” order myself and don’t bother with the SE.
The colors aren’t a big deal to me, especially not the 97 version which had great and highly accurate colors apparently. But even the Blu-ray, to be honest I didn’t even know people took issues with the colors until I joined this site.
That was sort of the case with me, but I always was bothered by the magenta flashes in Star Wars.
