Actually, that's working backwards. That color scheme is more like Pike's bridge from "The Cage"/"The Menagerie". A different color scheme would also suggest that the E had already undergone some kind of refit or major upgrade along the way, which would lessen the impact of seeing the actual refit.

The better version of that would be to have the TMP space complex with the drydock next to it. Remember, they flipped it upside down and called it "Regula 1" in TWOK, so that gives you a little more source material to work with.
There is a small problem in that we can see it's still being built as Kirk boards the travel pod after the refit (not unless Starfleet are real slowcoaches when it comes to building space stations, they certainly are quicker than the Empire after ROTS).
The ship could be erased from the dock for the wide shots. You've seen what Ady can do. Failing that, I'm sure there are CG artists out there who would be willing to donate their efforts to the cause to create new shots.

i´m currently (last 35 years) in germany. soooo pal i guess?? and thats important because of the tvs right?
does anyone have a clue to what this version might be:
C:\Users\Han-Solo\Downloads\Star.Wars.Episodes.Complete.1080p.HDTV.x264-hV
?
is a pain in the ass because im already loading for 6 weeks and am at 14 %
and what is the purist edition?
That's just the standard SE version that was broadcast on German HDTV, not Revisited.
Purist Edition is Revisited with some changes undone - no Prequel music and a few editing changes that make it closer to the theatrical version.
There's also the single layer Purist edition out there, but only in NTSC, not PAL.

I really like the idea of seeing the ship return home at the end of the 5 year mission.
Could Kirk's final log entry V.O. from TUC be reworked for this?
As much as I would like to see that as well, you would then expect to see everyone in TOS form getting off the ship and some kind of scene implying that they're going their separate ways for a bit while the ship gets refit. That will be very difficult if not impossible to create from TOS footage.
I'm in the US, so I'm on NTSC, but I was thinking in the other direction. I have some of Hum's discs that are in PAL and while they will play, I do notice a little stuttering every now and then or some PAL-to-NTSC speedup. I figured that since the HD standards are an attempt to eliminate the differences between the analog formats, that that would be the way to go with his re-releases.
Side question - when something is produced for 24fps HD, is it still NTSC or PAL or is all that out the window? I thought part of the long term goal of HD and digital signals was to eliminate NTSC/PAL/SECAM/etc. and have all TVs and discs in the world be universally compatible with each other. I'm just figuring that if he's going to be redoing projects, might as well try to "future-proof" them as much as possible.
Blue as in bluescreen? If that's what you're hinting at, then I'll go with Lucas. Spielberg uses bluescreens, Lucas surrounds everything with bluescreens.

1) The film will now start out with a written prologue (with footage of the moving star-field in background) explaining that the Enterprise had returned from it's five year mission in 2270 and it is now 13 months later and the crew of the enterprise is now ready for it's continuing mission with new captain William Decker and Kirk is now an Admiral at Starfleet command. I want to leave the drama and tension between these two characters alone in this edit.
All this is basically explained in the dialogue between Kirk and Scotty at the space complex and in the travel pod, so the written prologue really isn't necessary. Text scrolls aren't part of Trek's style like they are with Star Wars, and when I see text at the beginning of other films, it makes me feel like the filmmakers didn't have the time, money or intelligence to work that info into the story.
Ady, how do you feel about "in jokes"? Maybe you can add this to one of the snowspeeder cockpit displays...
Ok, I see...you're trying to literally recreate the box. I thought you were just trying to make a standard slipcase with the same font and logo design.
Mine's in storage but the sleeves were just black also. The only artwork per se was the booklet that listed out the chapter contents of the discs.
And not to be nitpicky, but your cover looks like it's designed backwards. Most boxes are laid out in the same fashion as the case covers - back-spine-front. Yours won't build up properly.

A better question would be Weta versus ILM. My vote would go to Weta.
Read ALL THE WORDS in the thread title - "Who Makes Better USE of CGI?", not "Who Makes Better CGI?"
You're arguing technical issues - who's better at performing the task. The real question is an issue of creative decisions - WHY they were using CG when a model or set might have sufficed.
I'll go with Spielberg. He uses CG when he NEEDS to, not because he WANTS to.
Matter of perspective. RS files are available pretty much whenever you want. Torrents are only available when users decide to make things available. I can't tell you how many times I've seen "Is anyone seeding ________? I'm at 98.3% and it hasn't moved for the past three years" pop up around here.

Can you control the burn speed? Try putting it on the slowest possible setting.
Also try disabling stuff like your virus scan, screen saver, and any other background monitoring programs. Some burners and burner programs are more sensitive to those than others.
Have you tried more than one burner program? Which ones?
Check PM.
Especially considering he's got family stuff to deal with right now so he probably isn't doing much work on the film the past week or so anyway.

It is nuts the number of totally unremarkable films that get multiple releases when films like this one doesn't even get a basic release (prominent director, cult following, well known stars).
More often than not that's due to legal issues, usually producers and the various investors/production companies that teamed up to produce the film. They have to get all that sorted out before a DVD release can happen, and if those people aren't available for whatever reason - not in the biz anymore, dead, working elsewhere and can't be associated with the former partners, etc. - then films get stuck in video release limbo.
I didn't say it was a perfect solution, but it's A solution.
Why don't you guys just do the German audio as an MP3 that people can listen to on their iPod/MP3 player while they watch the film? That would get it out there easier and faster for those that need it without having to have another version of the film/disc floating around out there.

What does an obtuse attempt at levity mean??? I dont get it, but i dig it. Thanks Ziz.
Certain people's sense of humor - and I include myself in this - isn't exactly mainstream...it takes some thought to figure out where they're coming from or going to.
Well, you could say that every TV interview they've done - to directly promote projects, as one-on-one interviews or as contributors in a retrospective of some film or genre - are them "acting" to one degree or another. From that perspective, I would say that Spielberg is more consistent in his attitudes and comments over the years, but I will admit I'm just working from memory here, considering their careers are just slightly shorter than the amount of time I've been alive.
