THAT'S SOME GREAT WORK THERE MAN. I WONDER IF THE DVD SIDE OF THE HD-DVD IS MERELY A MORE COMPRESSED VERSION OF THE HD SOURCE. IF THAT'S THE CASE, IT MIGHT BE THE ONE TO GET AGAIN (AND TO THINK I ONCE OWNED THE LIMITED EDITION AND GOT RID OF IT - STUPID ME).

Is this the same technique used for Monster House 3-D? I saw that when it came out and still have the glasses. That was an interesting experience and the movie was great. Now, what would you do with the glasses? Sure, it's a nice momento, but there's no way they can release a DVD with that technology on it can they?
I think Ric's in the process of making a 3 disc case (same size as a regular one) to house the OT. I'll check his forum and keep you all posted on that. Right now he's a bit worried of getting a cease and decist letter from Lucasfilm as his site was showcased on TFN.
If that trailor is just a sampling of the skill involved, we are SO going to be in for a treat come 2007. Good luck with this guys, I'm really excited about this edit.
Marketing-wise it'll be a big deal, but I'm not sure about the general public. Wasn't it the 40th anniversary of Star Trek this year? Oh wait, apples and oranges...
As you're both releasing these in 2007, are you waiting for the 30th anniversary box to take advantage of probibal changes to enhance the plot? Sounds like a fantastic project. Best of luck and looking forward to hearing more.
Hmm... I don't know about Lightscribe as I don't have one. If you're refering to the hub of the Lightscribe discs being close to hub printable DVD's, than you'll need full face labels. Not too sure where to get those yet. We'll keep an eye out. Have you tried PM the editers to see if they made any labels?
Diplomacy doesn't work when what you are putting your hard earned cash into is basically an entertainment EMPIRE. O-OT enthusiasts are the REBELLION now. When we shelled out money to Lucas "one last time" we were but the learners, but now he is the duchbag.
Out of the mish-mash of my intent, I still wonder the intent of the creator. Tolkien, I believe wrote LOTR formost for himself and then proceeded to have it published to share with the world whereas Lucas wrote for a medium that is strongly based on money. He wanted to created a modern myth with the classic architypal heroes journey story, but he also had in the back of his mind that if the story was accepted and sold well to audiences, he wanted to protect his creation. From an atistic level, I would also do the same to protect the rights to what I created, but when you become washed over with demand to create products based on one's creation, that's when you fall to the standards of what turns the globe. I don't know if that makes sense.
I haven't experienced the "pain" of watching these on HD as I'm still in ownership of an 32" CRT TV. I guess that's the reason I bought the limited editions as my setup was still of the `95 variety. Come time for an upgrade however, I'll bet someone here will have something upconverted or we'll have something more official. If not... I don't know how I'll react.
