I will refuse to buy STAR WARS on bluray!
Time

Jedi Temple34 said:

 

I find some bluray ether too dark comparing some generation of laserdisc to DVD to bluray (some).

A lot of these problems can be down to the fact that many laserdiscs were overly bright due to the telecine process  but also can be down to the colour range a player uses for blu-ray. Some players will default at 0-255 for blu-ray and this can look too dark if watched on a CRT or older LCD/PLasma that don't support the extended range. Whereas DVD should play at 16-235 which is the range both DVD's and Blu-rays are encoded at. If you player has an extended range setting in its setup then disable it and you'll notice a big difference. But the last thing si that its a fad with hollywood at the moment to crush blacks to give deeper black levels when transferring a movie. This is more than evident on the Star Wars DVDs so it's nothing to do with Blu-Ray as its been happening on DVD for a while now

STAR WARS: EP V &quot;REVISITED EDITION&quot;<strong>ADYWAN</strong> - <strong>12GB 1080p MP4 VERSION AVAILABLE NOW</strong>
Time

Just a few quick answers for the moment:

A-man, is that onboard graphics you have? A better video car will help with the lagging in Vegas. Laragith codec does cause a bit of lagging but it seems to be pretty much eliminated since i got the new graphics card. If you want to just check a section you can just highlight it then press "shift+b" and this will give you a RAM preview. How long you get is dependant on you machine. If you are trying to do an audio track and the lagging is preventing this then create a MPEG2 render of your video and import that then use this track for your main video while working on audio. You won't get any lagging

The Emperors dialogue will be the way it was in 1980, apart from maybe having "Young" instead of "Luke" unless i can get it to sound seemless. It will not contain any of the 2004 dialogue. This extra dialogue was unnecessary and one of the worse additions to the DVD set next to Hayden ghost.

Great mockups savmagoett. I'm adding a lot of background activity to give a greater depth and sense of scale to the transport hangars. Making the foreground smaller is impossible because there are some that walk off screen, including Ralph McQuarrie, and i don't want to lose his cameo

$42, 000 poster
Time

Jedi Temple34 said:

LAMO that poster will never sale unless the buyer is total STAR WARS nerd. I can buy re-print issues for under £10.00 pounds what a joke! Plus the fact its all creased up and not rolled up! So why would someone pay $42grand for some paper! You could use it as expensive rough toilet paper!

Somehow i highly doubt you could by a reprint of that poster for £10. Did you even bother to look at the size of that poster before making such a lame remark? 5ft x 11ft.And you say that you once worked in the cinemas so you should know that at that time many posters of that size were given to the cinemas folded and not rolled because of the size. i have a supersize poster of the Star Wars / Empire double bill that i got direct from my local cinema and that was folded exactly the same way when they received it.

Yes, it is grossly overpriced and you must have more money than sense to pay that much for a poster.

Anthony Daniels - wore the 3po costume ~2009.12 - Guess Away

Anthony Daniels Quote: (from SiriusXM CV Interview 2010.08)

"I was wearing it (the 3po costume) about nine months ago for a project which will become clear in time."

Was originally thinking Star Tours 2.  But there were reports of that filming in May of 2009.  So maybe something for the blu-ray or maybe a SW Celebration DVD extra.  All speculation on my parts.

 

Well the new Currys Christmas TV ad campaign features 3P0 & R2 so this could be what he was referring to ?

Are you being ignored by Jedi Temple34?
Time

I have but a few on the ignore list. I guess there must be malfunction in the settings I wasn't aware of so and so on the ignore list. I can't be asked to look into it, because I have better things to do than talk about STAR WARS again, the bluray is going to be mega crap for HD picture and sound in dts

Funny how some people were suddenly taken off his ignore list when he logged back in here. This guy is full of crap.

After watching a couple of his youtube videos it is easy to see that this guy has some serious issues. And he's supposed to be only 43? He looks more like 63. I'm the same age as him and seeing him made me feel ancient.

I'm actually starting to prey that the Star Wars Blu-Rays do have DTS audio now because i can't wait for his head to explode.I wonder if he will come back here to start it all up again if they do have DTS.

He's got all that equipment and claims to be all knowledgeable about audio yet he his surround speakers next to his L & R and is listening to it in a small room with no form of acoustic dampening (or is it filmed from his padded cell?). All that power would sound like shit in that room.

Well Jedi Temple has been spouting the same crap about DTS one some of my youtube clips. But the good thing is that you can now finally see just who this douche is as he has posted videos of himself listening to DVD audio tracks

http://www.youtube.com/user/EmpireLS56KW#p/u/15/zcvdZkqoxts

And , as he is ignoring most of us, he will never know he's been discovered. lol

But geez, this guy is the same age as me?

you cannot create a AVCHD or a Blu-Ray without the black matte bars. For a 720p movie the video has to be 1280 x 720. So you cannot remove the matte bars as they have to be added or the vertical resolution will not be 720 it would be 546 so not AVCHD or Blu-Ray compliant. It also does not make the image any smaller by adding them. That's impossible unless your monitor is screwing up the aspect ratio. The image will look the same size whether it has the bars or not.

EDIT: Harmy beat me to it

Does this really cross-fade now, or is it just Wookiegroomer's?

yeh, they changed the letter colour and added scan lines. That last one if just wookiegroomers. Looks like blended frames were used for deinterlacing. It isn't on either the SKYHD or the German premier sources

Save Star Wars Dot Com
Time

Finally had chance to have a look at the site. Great work there Zombie. I did notice a mistake when you were talking about the original emperor in my HD edit. It wasn't taken from a rare HD version of the '97 version as one doesn't exists. I used a hi res screenshotl of the chamber background and upscaled the emperor from a 97 SE SD TV broadscast then rotoscoped the original emperor, adding it to the HD background.

good to hear bkev that's one good report that the colors for episodes 4-6 will indeed be fixed.

What if they are fixed?

Good points ChainsawAsh. I still though hold out hope that the colors will be fixed. 

kenkraly2007 said:

Will the color of the star wars films episodes 4-6 be fixed for the blu-ray release? That is the big question. I tend to think they will be but I want to get some opinion from the star wars fans on here. Some fans say they won't be however some fans say they will be. I understand people are upset with the colors. What if they will be fixed? So what's your take on this?

that is almost every thing you have posted in this thread. Notice the similarities?

and then you post this right after.

kenkraly2007 said:

Allright adywan you made you point loud and clear but my opinion is that the colors on the blu-ray of episodes 4-6 will be fixed and that is that. 

i rest my case ma lord.

So where is your evidence that you are going to be correct then? People have given you the evidence to prove against what you believe but you haven't given one shred of proof to back your case up. Before accusing people of bashing Lucas and telling them to shut up maybe you should yourself shut up until you can provide us with anything tangible that will back up your case.

Will the color of the star wars films episodes 4-6 be fixed for the blu-ray release?
Time

Kenkraly, you really do seem to have a very blind faith that LFL care anything about what the fans think. If they did we would have had the restored HD versions of the original unaltered trilogy and not a 1993 laserdisc transfer. Even when the mistakes with the audio on the 2004 DVD's were clearly pointed out they came back with the most lamest of excuses that these were "deliberate creative decisions".

Here aresome of the reasons why it's pretty certain that the colours won't be fixed for the Blu-Ray release:

1. The colour altering was done BEFORE the transfers were sent out to Lowry. So to fix the colours they would have to go back to the original pre colour altered masters, then pay Lowry again to clean up the prints. This isn't going to happen as it was stated ages ago that they already have the HD versions ready for the blu-ray, which is more than likely going to be the exact same versions as the HD broadcast versions.

2. Money. If GL says that it's too expensive to restore the unaltered trilogy then he isn't going to pay to do another transfer just for the blu-rays when he has said he is happy with the way the 2004 versions looked

3. Evidence. People have seen the digital version for ANH at CV and the only thing that has been reported is that the green lightsabre didn't look green any more but the colour of the movie looked the same. So if the sabre isn't green then you can bet that this is the blu-ray version they will be using.

4. GL is more about making money with products having a high profit margin rather than making a quality product. He's spent money on the transfer already so spending more on it and having to start from stage 2 (after the scanning process) to return the OT to its original colouring would take a huge chunk out of those profits. He's a businessman now more than a film maker. He has become the one thing he was always fighting against

5. blinkered fans. Just look at how the 2004 DVD's were received by a lot of these sheep. They swallowed up all the bull that spouted by LFL about the quality of these DVD's. The "deliberate creative decision" for one and " they are George's original vision" for another. Whereas free thinking people that didn't go with this mindset were all just "moaners" and "they would never be satisfied". Lucas made a tonne of money with the DVD's and he knows he will do the same with the Blu-Rays no matter how crappy the OT looks, because of these set of fans.

Look at all the evidence in front of you kenkraly. If you're still so sure that these films are going to be "fixed" then there really is no hope for you i'm afraid. And, god man, you're starting to sound like a stuck record.

Star Wars: Renascent *** NOW AVAILABLE!!! ***

I didn't have any problems understanding 3P0 but i agree it is weird hearing a different voice. But that's just down to the fact of having already heard the original one.

I did spot something though. There is a something weird going on, like a stray frame,  on the video underneath the wipe at the end. Just look at the first few frames as the wipe starts and you'll see what i mean. Also, i forgot if you're working at 23.976fps or 25fps
