Won’t be by me - I don’t have a usenet account with binaries 😦

well, dang. pm?

any of these coming to a.b.sw?

having trouble getting the last part of this via s-o.biz

has it been uploaded to usenet in 1080p?

after re-downloading its evident that many more rars in the fileset are giving errors. are there par2 files available to repair them?

is ‘rogue one’ the death star itself?

i’d love to see some more stills from this restoration.

Just got this. Thanks for releasing a proper bonus disc

Found the ESPN Evolution of the Lightsaber Duel TV special available in 1080p here: https://vimeo.com/149535444

Pretty decent PQ/detail jump from the version on the disc.

if legacy ends up looking better than reliance’s i’m hopeful it shows up on usenet in the future.

Yes, I would bet that for any official release of the original cut, it will have the Episode IV A New Hope crawl.

Except the most recent release of the original cut had no such crawl.

Suppose it would be funny if they played the GOUT DVD at this Celebration.

These?

They were animated in 4:3 and matted to 16:9 for cinemas.

Got it. So these are full frame and not letterboxed?

Gonna do some research on video capture solutions for Mac.

i’m interested in helping with this preservation effort.

were the DBZ movies originally animated for full-frame 4:3 and cropped to 16:9 for theatrical presentation, or animated/theatrically released at 16:9 and cropped to 4:3 for home video?

i recall reading that the dragon box movie editions were widescreen. is there a comprehensive outline of which releases (besides some likely garish Fvnnymation releases) have the most picture information for each film?

Seems like in a futuristic world pants would obsolete.

The first SW trailer said “somewhere in space this may all be happening right now” but the title card of all the movies say “a long time ago in a galaxy far far away” and now I’m not sure if there’s a clear verdict on the chronology of pants in Star Wars.

fingers crossed this finds collection its way to a.b.sw

Theory question here.

Is it possible to splice in the x264/h264 video of TN1’s SSE with the blank (or maybe registered) frames necessary to sync with GOUT-synced audio tracks…without re-encoding any of the non-blank frames?

I recall using Quicktime 7 pro to cut and paste together video clips that were the same resolution, codec, bitrate, etc…losslessly and selecting “pass through” when exporting to a new video file. I wonder if there’s a slicker way to do this losslessly because that was like 8 years ago (Pretty sure Quicktime 7 is free from Apple now, but I used Windows XP SP3 up until 2009 and have no idea if that’s true for other operating systems)

I imagine you’d have to demux the video track from the mkv and put it in an mp4 container before Quicktime could even open it, but I haven’t the system resources, hard drive space, etc to give it a shot myself. Figured I’d run it by the forum in case anyone here was working on a mac and hadn’t thought about it.

1. encode blank frames to same settings as TN1
2. demux SSE video to .x264
3. remux SSE video into .mp4 container
4. split SSE video losslessly into chunks that bookend where missing frames need to be inserted (no idea which program could do this on a PC or Mac, besides Quicktime 7 itself)
5. merge those SSE clips with blank frames from step 1
6. export with “pass through” in quicktime
7. remux to mkv & test sync with the GOUT-synced until
8. lossless re-hash of TN1 SSE

Thoughts?

I’ve never liked the way the picture looks at 1:52:51

…compared to the detail captured in the shots of the Emperor that follow it around at 1:53:04 (and frankly the quality of the rest of the film)

is this coming to a.b.sw?

perhaps my favorite thing about this project is that TN1 delivered without doing too much in the way of hype or over-promising certain aspects

One can only hope the release once in its final iteration will find its way to popular public trackers and the front page of google.

if one had read the guide to acquiring harmy’s version, getting this preservation would be rather trivial. even with dealing the file locker. understanding is a thing that one can gain if they are not too dense.

This release is fantastic! Thanks so much TN1. I’m really digging the colors, especially the interior of the Falcon and the Death Star. During the Death Star escape sequence, that last TIE fighter explosion looks wonderful. People’s skin tones look realistic. The lightsabers look excellent. The detail on the rocks and landscape in the scene on Tatooine when Sandpeople attack all appear quite crisp. The contrast doesn’t look overly modernized like the blu-ray transfer. The frame looks a little horizontally squeezed compared to other releases, though.

The Throne Room scene here is quite likely most brilliant I’ve ever seen it.

Second viewing was A/B with Harmy’s 2.5 running two instances of VLC ouput to the television via HDMI. Really got me wondering how gratifying it’d be to make my own fanedit now. I may well do away with the 2006 disc.

phew. fantastic. thanks!

another user expressed that they’re “Having huge problems playing this due to the framerate being oddly set at 23.8fps instead of 23.976, which is the standard.”

can someone with the file confirm/deny this info with a MediaInfo log?

stoked to finally get to see this!

is it coming to a.b.?
