It's not really a question of cost, but more about the fact that the current software just sucks. The beta version of Jay's new software is very cool. Can't wait til it's ready to go live.

I wish he would have explained what that pic of George Lucas in his sig was all about.

Most of the later ones have riffs that reference many things besides just pop culture. Mike was known for throwing Shakespeare references in all the time. There were countless LOTR references (now I know who the hell Frodo is

), as well as other stuff not everyone would get. You could watch the same episode multiple times and get something new out of it each time.

Good luck with your job ric. Sorry to see you go. I think it's safe to say you were one of the "good old posters" you speak so highly of.

Love that one. During the end credits when Mike's trying to call and get a refund is funny as hell.

Every time I talk about the show with my brother, he always asks me if I have a certain episode that we remember seeing on TV way back in the day. I really don't remember the movie that well, but there is one part where an old man and an old lady are sitting in their living room and all of a sudden the house blows up. I think it's servo who says, "Ah! Forgot about those cookies!" When we first saw it on TV, we were laughing for a good 5 minutes. Now that I have every episode on DVD, I can't seem to find that one. Anybody recall which one this is?

Maybe I'm getting it mixed up with another Zombie movie. Now that I think about it, there really weren't any Zombies in that movie besides the scene where they all run in through that door.

I like Mike better I think, but mostly because by then they had the format down pat and Mike was the head writer for a lot of Joel's episodes anyway. Not to take anything away from Joel - the guy created the show and some of my favorite episodes are his. The last three seasons of the show are much better than the rest though I think.

I'll have to look over my list when I get home from work, but ones that immediately come to mind are "Mitchell", "Prince of Space", "Santa Clause Conquers the Martians", "The Incredibly Strange People Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies", and the one with the wannabe James Bond guy (can't remember the title right now). Also, the first 10 minutes of "Teenagers From Outer Space" is gold.

I think the LD master tapes were letterboxed, so no full 480 resolution.

When you match the shots up, the GOUT and the X0 DC capture look just about the same as far as detail goes. The SC definitely shows more detail.

More screens of this shot can be found on my site here. Notice how the PAL LD transfers as well as dark_jedi's SC transfer show the detail on R2 but the GOUT doesn't. Think of the X0 transfer as sort of a hybrid of them.

You guys should adjust your aspect ratio when showing your work. It might not seem like much, but an unstretched Palpy looks more accurate than a stretched one. Resizing to 720x420 or 864x480 should do the trick.

The colors will be noticed immediately just as you can tell the colors of the SE DVDs immediately. To anyone who knows what they're looking at, both will be very discernible.

I definitely see the distinct lines on the X0 capture. Note: there are two different wide shots - the first one is right after R2 comes out and the second is a few seconds later after the applause and the 3-shot of Han, Luke, and Leia. The first one, which most of your screens above are from, is a bit clearer and you can see the lines quite distinctly. The second shot, which your PAL GOUT and EditDroid screens are from, is not as clear and the lines are harder to make out. The X0 raw capture does look clearer than your GOUT shots. The final X0 will obviously look even better.

I had to take Vista off my computer. Nero wouldn't install even after I downloaded the Vista-certified update. Besides that, ASPI drivers didn't seem to want to install, and half the freeware video programs I use either wouldn't work or plugins for them wouldn't work. Of course all this came after I posted earlier about not having any problems....

I actually ordered the CD from that guy. Some of those scans are close. A lot of them though are way too green or yellow. None of them are spot on. They're awesome hi-res images though.

Damn. Kershner was here visiting my school a couple weeks ago and during the Q&A people couldn't stop asking about Empire and being Lucas' instructor at USC. I can't believe Lucas would seriously say it was the worst film. Either he was joking or he has some sort of authority figure/mentor issue.

but, if you were to show that flick to someone who has no idea what SW is... who has never seen the ANH... they'd be completly lost and going "Whaa?" every 2 minutes. Imagine the Wampa cave with no prior knowledge.... how the hell is he making that thing fly into his hand... then who is this ghost? You can go on and on...

Then again, you're not going to ask that person which was the worst Star Wars movie if they haven't seen any others. Then again, maybe you will just because the only answer they can give is ESB because it's the only one they know about.

If Bears fans weren't crying enough for a better quarterback, they'll be calling for Rex's head on a platter all throughout the offseason. Grossman really stunk the place up on Sunday. Good job Peyton, you didn't have to be great and you still won the game. I think your RB's should have shared the MVP honor though. They were the real reason you won the game.
