Star Wars 4K77 - Regraded - No DNR (Released)
Time

SupremeTitan48 said:

Hello I have just imported the file and am seeing some lag (The LUT will disappear when a new shot comes up, and will be added later while watching in the viewport). While I assume this is just Da Vinci slowing down or something, can anybody confirm this is a normal occurrence? Thanks for the input! I’ve Looked closer and it appears the LUT keyframes are outta whack, any way to fix this?

does it happen when you export a section of the film with the same shot changes, or just in timeline viewport preview?

Info Wanted: Are there any 1997 Special Edition 4K Scans available?

The one i downloaded has black bars on all sides . I thought it rather strange to be honest. Not sure if i screwed something up. It won’t display in 16:9 i have to watch it full frame to get the image to fit my laptop.

It was really strange like a letterboxed edition. I haven’t seen anything like that since the Gout DVDs.

The picture quality is much better than the Reivex or however it was spelled.

Maybe VLC Is the problem as to why it won’t display like an anamorphic film.

I like that it has 3 audio selections. The Laserdisc audio, DTS theatrical or optical audio from the print.

Edit: looks like it was just VLC its doing the same thing for 16mm Empire Strikes back.

I’m really going to have to get another software but MPC is no longer updated.

Preservation of SE97 Laserdiscs (Info Wanted) (a WIP)
Time

I really want to see preservations of the Japanese 97SE laserdiscs since I’ve read that those have the best color of the various editions.

edit: this release https://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/00008/PILF-2860/Star-Wars-Trilogy:-Special-Edition

redvdit.net http://redvdit.net/best-ways-original-star-wars-trilogy/
Released in November of 2000, in the twilight days of the Laserdisc format, which would be over in a commercial sense by 2001, this is the last issue of the Original Trilogy on the Laserdisc format. The video transfer uses the same exact base that was used to create the 1997 US and Japanese box sets with identical subtitles to the 1997 Japan box, but takes advantage of three years of innovations, such as a lowered brightness level that increases contrast, and a slightly more natural color timing. Skin tones look remarkably better than their 1997 counterparts. The soundtrack presentation is exactly the same, with both Dolby Surround tracks, and discrete Dolby Digital tracks as well.

Harmy's STAR WARS Despecialized Edition HD - V2.7 - MKV (Released)
Time

I’d be interested to see if none could help Harmy and ooteedee out with restoring the film grain from 35mm scans, maybe by using some combination of noting differences with the DIF tool (https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/DIF-Difference-tool-to-spot-visual-changes-Current-2004-vs-2019/id/13179/page/2#1340050) conforming the image registration based on those results and then blending sources to bring back 35mm film grain detail where its been scrubbed.

Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga 4k UHD -- 27 DISC Boxed Set -- 3/31/2020
Time

Either those bonus discs are going to be a real waste of storage space, or we’re getting a considerable amount of bonus content for the OT and PT that wasn’t on the complete Bluray set, which had just three bonus discs for the six films. The ST stuff will just be the same stuff that came with their recent Bluray releases, I imagine.

kinda mad the standalone 4k release for rise of skywalker doesn’t appear to include a blu-ray bonus disc like the last few films have.

<strong>Disney+</strong> streaming platform : <strong>Star Wars content</strong> &amp; various other info
Time

anyone seen if Empire of Dreams documentary is actually in full HD?
or if shots from the film with the original VFX are higher resolution than the gout?
there’s a note at the beginning of playback that ‘it’s been modified from its original version and formatted to the screen’
so i’m wondering if they swapped out the movie footage used in the doc with the new transfer, or the 2004 one, or not

Info: All Star Wars films released in 4K HDR on Disney Plus: 2019 SE with more changes
Time

schorman13 said:

It almost looks like an automatic HDR to SDR conversion for the 1080p streams. Or maybe I’m just too used to seeing the retina-burning colors of the old HD masters.

the 1080p/non-4k versions definitely still have the changes. i’ve watched sections on my phone and PS4.
i’ve resolved to finally buying a 4k tv set this weekend to get to the bottom of this.

Hmm, would it be possible to rip those DVD/Bluray cover looking images, and the big preview images/backgrounds? I have a soft spot for consistent saga posters in my Plex Library, even if they’re photoshops rather than actual drawings/paintings. Unfortunately I’m not in the Netherlands. There must be some way to get them from the website.

i came here to ask the same thing.

can someone load the service in a web browser and use “view-source” or inspector to get URLs for those jpegs?

Ok, right now I’m working on audio.

I’ve tracked down the 5.1 Castillian Spanish and the 5.1 Italian mixes, but still need to speed correct and sync to the NTSC versions.

If anyone has access to the Polish 5.1 or Japanese 5.1 mixes, I would also like to include those.

can the japanese 5.1 from the recent WOWOW broadcasts be used?

Hello there!

Recently found the no-DNR 4K77 whilst wandering the wastes of the internet and LOVED it.

However, I’ve come to learn that the version I watched is the no-DNR “1.0” version, while there exists a no-DNR 1.4 regraded version. Would anyone be able to PM me in the right direction (AKA does anyone have the file)?

Apologies if this goes against any sort of guidelines or something, I’m a bit new here. Thanks guys, and may the Force of others be with you!

Check out thestarwarstrilogy.com, you should find what you are looking for.

is the other site/forum down?

The supposed validity of the EU

ZkinandBonez said:

The only minor gripe I have with it is the whole “there are some truths to Legends” slogan they’ve been using as it kinda implies that the new stories are the correct or "true" SW stories, while the old ones are false ones.

I get the sense that this is why the star wars sequel trilogy may have a bit of overlap thematically with EU stories of the time. they’re using some of that as inspiration, maybe. cant be any more certain til december.
