WooHoo MYSPLEEN ROCKS, thanks for the Isomix DLs Rikter, I threw a $10 at em and plan giving more next Paychack. Donate people please! We LOVE Star Wars!!!!!

OriginalTrilogy.com ROCKS to, thanks to this site I have found out all I need to know about Star Wars and then some from some people who know what the hell they are talking about, and I have the OOT on DVD which is what we all want.

I sat down with my 6 year old daughter and watched the OOT and she loved it. After all the new special effects movies of today she was amazed with this story. She understood the movie. It had her favorites: a princess, a hero (several) and a some bad guys. We have watched them several times. Now you tell me, if this can keep a 6 year old still for 2 hours it has to be good.

Ok, Im sure this is a stupid question but here goes anyway. I downloaded BOTF and it is a 894MB Video Clip, how do I burn to DVD. Do I need to convert it? If so to what and how? It wont even play on my media player because it needs a codec. I tried to find a codec but there are several of those and I (being stupid) dont know which one it needs. Could anyone help a dumbass please.

Well after about 18 hours of downloading I burned the Isomix ANH to DVDr and watched it.

1. The Menus are AWESOME.
2. Couple good easter eggs.
3. The music only track is superb.
4. The sound quality is great.
5. The picture quality is great, not quite as good as the TR47 set but damn close.

Overall a great piece of work, thanks for the time & effort spent on this to the author.

When I put my magical device (Sima Digital Copy Master) between the laserdisc player and DVD recorder, the picture straightens up, I take it out the pictures dims & brightens. nothing wrong with my setup, there is some kind of copy guard somewhere. Some of my laserdisc dont do this, but any of them that are Fox (Like Star Wars) do. I have VCRs hooked together and without the Sima device they do the same thing on most tapes. The older style of "Macrovision" was I think called "Copygaurd" and is on VHS tapes, they may also be on Laserdiscs.

Actually laserdiscs may not have macrovision but they do have some kind of copy protection because if I hook my laserdisc player straight into my stand alone DVD recorder and try to record Star Wars (faces edition) the picture gets bright and then dim until I put a magical device between them to correct this. VHS tapes also do this, I think it is called copyguard.

I agree with MeBeJedi, this nit-picking over something not noticable on any of the 3 different bootlegs I have unless you look at it frame by frame 2 feet away from your monitor. I must be blind because I still dont see it, besides who watches a movie frame by frame. We are lucky we're even getting the originals on DVD anyway. Thanks to all you guys that are spending countless hours restoring these great movies. Just kick back, drink a beer, smoke'em if you got'em, chill out and enjoy the movies. Maybe thats why I dont see the jump, I'm drunk.

The TR47 DVDR set is Awesome, the movies look and sound GREAT. This 4 second gap is no big deal at all, the movie flows just fine. All 3 movies play great on all 4 of my DVD players with no problems at all. The movie just starts to play when you put it in, no menus to take up valuable space, dont need menus to watch the movie anyway. I have the 7 disc set and extras are awesome. These have nice menus.

Well, I did not see a TR47 feedback thread so I will post it here.

I received the TR47 7 DVDR set and it is Awesome, lots of extras, the movies look and sound GREAT. Just what I wanted (as backups for my Laserdiscs). With these other guys (Zion, MeBeJedi & ISOMIX) versions looking to be even better I cant wait to check them out. I am very pleased with the TR47 discs. Thanks to everyone for your hard work in preserving these awesome movies.

Like when you get a collection with multiple cuts of a film (theatrical cut, directors cut, european cut, etc...) For me it's fascinating to see the progression of a film through its various cuts. I may not like them, but that's beside the point. Anyway, just my thoughts on the issue.


You can get these on factory pressed DVDs from Ebay, I have a set I purchased (for the same reason, just to have them) from Ebay which are Factory Pressed 5 Star DVDs. Imports made from the 1997 SE Laser Disc set. It is top quality and sound. I still prefer the OOT to these or the 2004 set.

These DVD's were created from the Definitive Edition Laserdisc Box Set. Some
small portions (like Leia's welding scene in EMPIRE) were taken from the "Faces"
set.It was digitized via S-video and edited with Final Cut Pro. The audio was
transferred via a digital coaxial connection to ProTools and converted to AC3.


Is this Leia welding scene everyone is talking about the one in the Falcon just before her and Han kiss on the asteroid? If so it is on all versions I have, the Faces Laser Disc & VHS, The SE DVD(5 Star 1997), the 2004 DVDs and DVDRs of the Definitive Collection. If its not which scene is it?

To say they are "only couple minutes per film", is the same as painting a moustache on the Mona Lisa and then saying "it only takes up 1% of the total picture". It's not the duration or size, but the EFFECT the changes have.


I agree with you on your points, thats why I have the originals to. Im just saying the new versions are worth having because of the picture and sound quality. I do wish he would release the originals on DVD though. The Faces or Definitive Laser Disc versions are the next best thing.

I watched the new DVDs on my friends 12 foot screen with 6.1 THX Certified Surround and if you have everything set correctly it sounds and looks better then ever. Sound is crisp, colors are vibrant and clear.

I also watched them on my system, smaller screen 5.1 surround and once again if you dont have it set up right it does have some sound errors, but set up properly they are barely noticable.

I agree, GL should make the originals on DVD but for now does not look good. I saw the original in the theater when I was 7 in 1977 and it was great. I watch the new 2004 edition now at 34 years old and I still love them. I have the OOT on VHS, 2 different Laser Disc versions, DVDR & the 1997 SE DVDs, I love the Originals and I also love the New ones. The changes are only couple minutes per film, not much at all for the enjoyment of what you are watching. Life is short, enjoy it while you can. Watch Star Wars while you can.
