They've also added another stardestroyer in there by the looks of things or is that just a different frame?
Yeh it's pretty obvious him and his little sidekick are just Lucas worshipers and are trying to stir things up just to get hits. If he can say something like this:
Scanning the original print and tossing it on DVD as is would look like more crap than the 93 laserdisc.
then it just shows he's an idiot because isn't he telling us we could easily do a high quality restoration from a degraded theatrical print? And he's supposed to be a documentary filmmaker? Geesh can you imagine the one sided crap he puts out?
Muddyknees, unfortunately you can't do anything like that . Trading a copy of the DVD for any form of money, whether it be a donation or not, is illegal and i could not and would not accept any donations from anything like this.

The donations are going for a new CPU?
Wasnt for materials?
Why now it needs replacement? Isnt the currect one enough powerful for the task?
where all these money go?
Why not keeping your money already? Economy crisis?

No, donations aren't going towards a new CPU or any computer equipment. Janskeet donated on the condition that it was to get a fast enough PC to do ROTJ:R in 1080p since the blu-rays will be available for next year. He told me it was not to be spent on materials unless i had any monies left over.I mentioned all this in here when Janskeet made the donation. I could have just spent the money on materials and would have had enough to finish the edit but i am too honest to do something like this.
Any donations i get are solely for materials and nothing else. And Ghostbusters i did reply last week. I'll have to resend the email again when i can get to my emails.
I give up on that guy. He really is a clueless idiot.
Just shows this guy knows absolutely nothing about the truth behind why we haven't got the original versions.

Do the transfer ourselves then hand it to GL as a present who would have to release it? Does he not realize that GL took almost all 35mm copies of the movie out of existence and what are available wouldn't be anywhere near the quality a direct transfer from the negative would. I just had to put that idiot straight as to why fans are finding it impossible to restore these movies themselves
And i guess he wasn't too happy about the comments on his blog that came from over here too.
Rattlehead, the one thing you have to understand is that the internet is full of nutters and we have had a lot of them come in here from time to time. And when someone who people know nothing about suddenly wants to meet up with people then suspicions are raised. There are some very strange star wars fans out there that . I have personally received death threats from some fans because i dared to meddle with George's creations And when you said in your first post that you would only talk about things in person and wanted peoples personal phone numbers you have to admit it did sound a little odd. We are in a forum after all so couldn't you have started talking about things in here first before asking for personal things like this? It would have come across a lot better.
this may be some help:
There was a site that had all the star wars effects ripped from various games, but i can't remember the name of the site.
You could also buy the new Sound of Star Wars books and rip the sounds from that
Edit. the site was called the sound bunker but its moved to http://www.fan-files.com/
Unfortunately its not available right now
When rendering a mutichannel PCM in vegas you have to make sure you have "enable multichannel mapping" ticked in the "render as" dialogue box. then you need to click on "channels" and make sure that only "surround master" is ticked. All your channels will be mapped correctly
It should do. Do you have "enable multichannel mapping" ticked when you render it? You need to tick that then click on "channels" and only tick "surround master". this works perfectly for me.
Just save your 5.1 project before you change the settings then go to "file>properties" in your top menu and you can alter the properties that way. Once you have rendered the wavs you can either use the undo to restore your project to before you changed the settings or just reload your saved project file
If you are rendering them out as mono files then you need to change your project settings. Change your settings to stereo, move any audio sliders that are set to either left or right to the center. Then mute every track apart from the channel you want to render as a mono file. When rendering make sure that "enable multichannel mapping" is unticked. Set your output to wav mono and render. Then do the same for each channel.

Best of luck to you and your family, Ady.
I don't want to harp on it, but do you have a response to this?
The Golden Idol said:
Hey Ady, rewatching the trailer again, I noticed that in the shot where Leia, Lando, and Chewie run along the Bespin balcony, R2 seems to be stuck in the hallway, and you can see his back leg stop for a moment and move back and forth as if stuck. Also, in that same scene, the R2 element slightly "bleeds" onto the wall that is in front of him, which is noticeable because the wall's edge stops being straight when R2 passes behind it:
Also, is the blurriness of the running characters in this scene fixed? I know you've said a while ago that the ILM elements botched the superimposed character elements in the SE, but the blurry outlines they have in the ESB:R trailer are not very convincing; it looks like Leia, Lando and Chewie were pasted in the scene.
What you saw in the trailer was an early version of this shot before the final rotoscoping . The rotoscoping done in the SE was awful but i couldn't use the GOUT to fix this because it was just too bad quality. The R2 issue with the wall has been fixed. The strange motion you see with R2 as if he is jumping around is due to the fact that they didn't bother stabilizing the footage before rotoscoping him and then they did a very bad job at changing the position where he stops because they had changed the position of the elements from the original. I've stabilized R2 and he turns a lot smoother now
I removed only the parts of the SE Mos Eisley footage that i found to be terrible (the Jawa/ronto slapstick and the small droid getting hit). It's a common misconception that the new sequences were all CG. The buildings were miniature physical models and the first shot with the rat creatures was only touched up from the original element. Using the GOUT for any of that sequence would have looked terrible.

I cant find the Color Corrected Prequels thread so i'll post this here
here is a first run of Jango Fett vs obi-wan colour corrected
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSxwyhGK-3U
Before you attempt any form of colour correction make sure that you have your monitor properly calibrated. That video is way too orange/ brown so i can guess that your monitor is probably set to "cool".
Well let's just wipe the slate clean and start again.
I think there should be a way of adding a new audio track and an edited video track and keep the menus and all the other stuff on the DVD-9. What version of the DVD-9 would you be working with ?The PAL or the NTSC?
All i said that i had already answered everything you needed. Then you come back with really rude remarks. I wasn't being funny or anything i just answered a question. You say you knew about what is going on in my life at the moment, yet you bombarded me with emails which all weren't about this thread at all, one was asking about my plans for boba fett in ROTJ:R.
You say you knew about my situation so i gather you read this in the ESB:R thread. So why be such an ass by saying that "my time must be too valuable" to answer your questions, when i already had? And then you wonder why i snapped back at you? A comment like that is one of the most insensitive things i have heard. Of course my time is too valuable. I'm having to take care of my 80 year old dad who has just found out he has cancer only 8 months after my mum died. I may have been a bit harsh with my reply and for that i apologize, but i'm with all the things that i'm having to juggle at the moment i'm getting about 3 hours sleep a night and then i read your reply and i just snapped. I had helped you and told you what you needed to know but i guess that just wasn't enough for you.My retaliation was purely down to your smart alec comment, which now looks even worse since you did in fact know why i'm so busy at the moment when you wrote that.

Apparently fans of your work can and should remain silent fans of your work. Now I know.
That's the biggest load of bull i have heard. I try to help out when i can when people have asked for it and also try and reply to every emails, PM and you should know that because of the amount of times you sent me messages over on youtube, and i answered them. I had never been rude towards you and my reply about the information was not a rude post and just a statement, but you took it completely the wrong way.

Muddyknees2000, there is no need to keep sending me multiple PM's as i have answered everything you wanted to know already in this thread.
well pardon me, I was still a little confused about a certain matter, which is why I was looking for clarification from the source, but apparently your time is too valuable. I guess I had mistaken your presence on a forum based website as a willingness or desire to answer questions and participate in discussions.
Maybe you should find out why i just haven't got the time to answer all these questions before you start being a dick. I fuckin help people out all the time but i have more important things to worry about at the moment than an edit i had finished with a long time ago. I even gave you pointers as to what you would need to do to be able to accomplish your goal. But i guess you want everything done for you. You picked completely the wrong time to be such an asshole towards me. I was actually going to take some time out to produce a new audio track that you could use and then all you would need to do is replace the one shot of Obi-Wan's slowed down cloak. But sod it. You're on your own.

I've got to admit, this all makes me sick. Not the 3D part of it as i would go and watch the OT in 3D if just for the fact that it's on the big screen. No, it's the fact that the OT in 3D won't happen unless the Prequels do well. Talk about kicking us OT fans in the balls again. So he's basically saying to us that we have to support the PT3D or we won't get the OT3D. So we can probably place a safe bet that the OT3D just ain't going to happen. There is no way i'm going to pay to see the PT on the big screen ever again. The only way i would sit through it would be purely for novelty value and only if it was either a cut price showing or free.
But wait a minute, didn't GL say that the reason that we can't have a restored OUT is because "it's too expensive"?. But it's ok to spend all the money to make these films 3D? How can it be too expensive to restore the OUT when he would easily recoup his money from the blu-ray / DVD sales. Pure and simple he wants the OUT buried

If you wanted to do this then you would have to re-edit both the video and audio. You would also need to add a music fadeout at the start of the conference scene because the original and new music do not match and you would have a very jarring cut or just use the purist cut down version of the reveal with the original music.
If someone wants to do it then fair enough but i won't be having anything to do with it or offering any help because i have too much on my plate at the moment and i need to finish ESB:R as soon as i can
Adywan, would you be willing to supply the needed audio and video to someone capable of doing this?
It's already available. I only have the same DVDs that are on the net. The original files are all gone.
Thanks for all the words of support guys.
I have stated many times that i won't be adding any music that wasn't already in the movie
The "arm around Han" error will have to remain as it can't be fixed. Filming a double wouldn't work either, even just to replace an arm. Some things just can't be fixed. Ad i know there are going to be people moaning that some of the errors remain but quite frankly i don't give a damn.
One error i'm really surprised no one has ever mentioned is the 2004 imperial insignia replacement monstrosity. Not only does the badge shift places between shots but when the officer turns the badge jumps all over the place and is one of the worse pieces of motion tracking for digital replacement in the movie.
i've fixed this and made the motion as he turns smoother so it doesn't look like the badge is jumping all over the place.
We don't know the full extent of Dad's cancer as yet but we know that once treatment begins i'm going to have to be caring for him. So i need to get this edit finished and out the way as soon as i can. I'm working all the hours i can finishing the video side of things while working on the miniatures and costumes etc. I'm still in desperate need of donations to get this thing finished. It's going to cost me even more for materials after Xmas when this bloody government introduce the VAT rise in January. Delivery charges and everything will rise. So if i can the remaining materials before Jan then it would be great.
And sorry to anyone who has been emailing or PMing me recently and haven't had a reply. I will get around to answering them whenever i can, but with no Internet access at my dads it isn't easy and it will take a while so please be patient.
I won't be redoing ANH:R. I have to move forward or i will never complete the saga. I did look into just doing a new audio track that could be easily replaced without losing any of the DVD-9 menus or features. But this is impossible because there is 1 shot that is a different length between the purist and proper revisited version and that is when Obi-Wan's cloak falls. You just can't sync the original audio to the sabre duel.
There will always be bits that people don't like in any movie. If i tried to do an edit that would suit everyone then there would be thousands of different versions of ANH:R out there.
