Thanks for taking my concerns into consideration. We all want this to be the best project it can. Good luck!
How is the bitrate on the 97 SE discs? Would it perhaps be better to use the UE and then colormatch it to the SE discs, making occasional changes here and there? I mean, a DVD from 1997 probably doesn't have very good bitrate...
Also, broken link, but...

Does the UE DVD offers more information than the SE one ? </div>
Yes, it does. (on all four sides.)

Also note that the image of the SE is slightly squashed, distorting the image. (causing people's face's to appear thin and long...)

As I understand it, there are good quality 35mm prints in the Luasfilm archives. However, the original negatives were conformed to the 1997 special edition during the restoration of the film that took place then.
This actually works out quite well because it shows you're anxious about these answers that they might come up with.
Jesus, Arnold over there looks like he had plastic surgery what with being so shiny... DVR is so ridiculous sometimes.
Just remembered, OHMSS had the old UA logo if that helps identify it as a post-Lowry print or not. And no MGM logo, I think
There were certain moments where I kind of spaced out a bit... mind you, I was sick, so that could have been it. I still think it's in my top list of Bond movies I've seen so far. As for the blue tint, I don't recall exactly if there was one, but the scene was rather dark. His skin tone certainly looked more natural than it appears to have on the comparison page. Also, it sounded like the mono mix; I don't know what audio mix the Lowry prints normally use.
I thought someone already said that Ben Burtt's successor was already working on a new mix... I know I heard at least there's another scream for Obi-Wan when he frightens the sand people. Don't know if they touched the audio anywhere else.
OHMSS at a local theater, with special guest George Lazenby himself. A little slow at times, but certainly up there.
OH MAN, IT'S THE BRO.
If I lose do I get a pizza, or do you just eat it?
Just to help uniformity, I would recommend adding an "A:" to the beginning of the answers, similar to the Q in front of the questions. Hopefully I make sense. Also, on the editorial pages, I would have the header above the synopsis link to the editorial as well.
HAIL TO THE KING, BABY! PAX confirms Duke Nukem If Ever for next year.
Wow, he's ignoring me too...
@Radi0n: The AVHD for Empire is conformed to the 97 SE, including the original emperor and lame-arse Luke scream.
Google Chrome. ALSO GUYS, the new iPods come with FM radios without an add-on, even the Nanos.
AAAUGH! I loved the fanboy moment over whats-his-name. The rest of my comments will be on your video itself; however, I must say "what's wrong with your face" was brilliant.
Trust me, Gaff, go for Chrome. You won't regret it at all.
Across the Universe. Simply brilliant, but then again I'm a major fan of The Beatles so I may be just a little biased. Watched it with my dad, and we both had different responses. He said my generation being fed the '60s like a commercial product, which I don't really disagree with; however, his big question was this: what is my generation's cause? I don't really think we have one; and, if we do, it's to not have a cause.
My response was to wonder how many people who protested Vietnam had a personal stake in the matter and only really cared because of that, rather than for the sake of the other thousands shipped out.
Yeah, there are quite a few Brits around here. I ain't one of 'em though. As for me throwing you under the bus? Never!
Ninja Gaiden for the NES. It's a tough game... infamously hard actually. Completely different from its arcade counterpart.
Man, that last Zoidberg is a costume anyone would be proud of.

Puggo, any chance we could see some screens of the Swedish print? No pressure, but ever since I saw the behind-the-scenes I've always been curious to see how it looked - especially after I saw how well you handled the red tint on the PSA!
It sounds like you've made it big! I'm glad it was a success, childhood memories deserve to be shared like this.
