Welcome to the boards. I'll reiterate something I said above:

Questions like these can't be answered right now -- mostly because they aren't a concern of ours at the moment. The fact is we haven't discussed anything at all outside of the video transfer to this point.

Anyone ever see the Get Smart movie? It might have been one of those made-for-tv things, I'm not sure.

I've been wanting to update the index threads for a while now. I wanted to dive into the bowels of this board and dig up all the relevant threads that deserve to be included in both the Index of Linked Noteworthy Threads and The big DVD thread index. But since I'm busy working on other things like new X0 articles and you guys are here anyway, I thought you could help me out.

If you can think of any thread that deserves to go into either one of these indexes, please post it here. Any thread on any existing edit, or any non-abandoned work in progress is a candidate. Also any threads dealing with any facet of the edit process, such as "anamorphic vs. letterbox discussion," "Definitive Collection DVD Covers," or the "OT glitches and fixes thread" are worthy candidates.

I know several of you have PM'd me and requested your threads be included. If you could post those requests again here as well that would be a big help. Going through hundreds of PMs to find your request could take a while.

Whoever posts the most threads gets a cookie.

I myself won't have any opinion until I've seen the DVD and all the deleted scenes. If you ask me, things like the Yoda Dagobah thing and the rebellion meeting scenes are nice background tidbits, but might not work at all if put into the film. The Yoda scene might, but I thought the original cut was good about not getting too far away from the fate of the main characters in those ending shots.

I heard the mods are ok with MF.com.

Just make sure if you link to something over there it's not just to start a flame war, or a link to Hyperspace material.

^Exactly what I was thinking. (Both points)

Watch this release be exactly the same as the last one except for some mundane detail changed at the end of Jedi. That will have all the fanboys buying this again.

Check it out fellas, the Broncos just made the Cheifs look like a high school team. Before the game, everyone was saying how the Chiefs had such a great defense and their offense was going to run all over Denver. Funny how things went completely the other way. I can't say I knew it was going to happen like this, but I knew the Broncos were going to win this game.

I don't understand what that question has to do with this thread, but I'll humor you.

Blank discs always say on the label what file size they can hold. CDRs are 650MB or 700MB, and DVDRs will be 4.7GB or 8.5GB (dual layer). Only burners that specify dual layer capability will burn dual layer discs.

Not just for playing injured, but that they played exceptionally well while being injured. McNabb had two great games in a row while playing injured. And most kickers in the league wouldn't have gone back on the field after what happened to Akers on the first kickoff.

Look at me speaking so highly of the Eagles. Enough of that, go Broncos!

Questions like these can't be answered right now -- mostly because they aren't a concern of ours at the moment. I'd like to sit here and say that subs are pretty easy to do and should be included, and that PCM audio is a possibility, but the fact is we haven't discussed anything at all outside of the video transfer to this point.

Not a bad game for them Eagles either. What a gutsy performance by Akers. Toughest kicker I've ever seen.

The serious problems for the Eagles right now are kicker David Akers with a hamstring injury and McNabb with that sternum injury. Those two guys are the reason why the Raiders are winning right now. Akers can't kick anything and McNabb can't complete any passes.

Never give up the cause, if we do then the bearded flannel man wins.

Realistically speaking, Lucas won back in '77 and has been looking down ever since.

The way I see it, there are two kinds of Star Wars fans. There are the ones who first experienced the saga back before 1997 and cherish the originals for what they are. Either you saw the films in the theater or, like me, you grew up in the mid to late eighties watching them on laserdisc and VHS. These are the fans that for the most part condemn any sort of tinkering to the original versions, and long for them to exist on their DVD shelves. The second type of fans are those who first experienced the saga after 1997. They either aren't familar with or do not cherish the originals the way the others do. These are the fans who say things like "Jar-Jar should be in A New Hope," or "Han Solo looks cooler dodging Greedo's shot!"

What I've come to realize is that people are going to have their opinions about these films and you're hardly ever going to change them. I could sit here and list 50 reasons why the originals should have been released on DVD instead of the SE's. Of course then someone else would come along and list 50 reasons why the SE's deserved to be released instead, and with even more digital alterations.

A lot of people think that Lucas went crazy sometime in the nineties and is only doing this for the money. Who knows his true intentions, but one thing is certain: from the Admiral Ackbar cookie mold to Revenge of the Sith toilet paper, there has always been some obscure items with Star Wars slapped on them.

So would I say I've given up? I guess I have on other people, but not on getting the O-OT on DVD or HD.

There are many versions of the O-OT, most of which can be found on this board. You are correct, it is against the rules to offer bootlegs for sale or inquire about purchasing them. However, you may inquire about trades or request someone willing to PM you about acquiring a set. Most people on this board willing to accomodate you do so for the cost of discs and shipping or less.

Your biggest decision will be which version you would like to own. If you are strictly a PAL person, you have but one choice: Moth3r's set. If, however, you are able to play NTSC DVD's, you have a host of other options. Dr. Gonzo, Cowclops v2, and EditDroid sets are quite poplur at the moment. Have a look at the official project thread as well as the official screenshots thread to compare versions.
