‘Not keeping the original versions around. They have historical value.’
Not technically a change to the movies themselves but ok.
They’re ghosts. Ghosts can appear however the hell they want to appear.

@oojason I don’t think the fit to page option is the problem as I had used that feature prior and they came out the way I wanted them to. Also if I don’t use that options portions of the cover will cropped off.
As far as the printer settings, these are done behind the counter so as to what settings they have the printers on I have no idea of and likely never will.
I actually don’t have a printer at home to do any testing with so I guess I’ll have to try to take this somewhere else other than Staples. I might discuss this with my stepdad as he might have knowledge on this. Thanks guys! Wish me luck!
Guess I’m gonna need some help too. The past year or so I’ve been having Staples print these. Although it’s been hit or miss with how they’re printed (sometimes they’re big enough, sometimes they’re not) but when they’re printed right they look perfect (for me at least).
However last Saturday I had one Staples print out two covers and both are slightly smaller than I need them to be. I tried another Staples and got the same result. I went there today and they said the lasers to their printers won’t be able to print them to the size I want. I guess I should have asked them how they were able to get them done right before but I just left.
Anyways the way I had them printed there was on 8.5x11 Elite Gloss paper, I set portrait to landscape, and set the image to fit to page. The first two images shows the edge of the cover where I need it.
Below is from a cover printed this past weekend where the Image doesn’t come close enough to the edge (more noticeable in the second image).
As you can see it’s a pretty subtle difference especially when looking at the first one but the way I want it like with the first examples above fill up the DVD covers much better and more accurately to a real DVD insert. I also should note that I create all my DVD inserts with the same PhotoShop project so they all come out the same size each time so I know that’s not the problem. So any tips guys?? Is there a printer that will print to where I want them?? Is there another printing place I should take them to??
You do have to find the irony of having Ian’s Emperor on the ESB SE poster when just less than a decade later they would actually insert him into that film!
I actually thought the GOUT covers were pretty creative TBH but then again they’re mock ups of the posters and I am a sucker for original poster art. TBH I actually don’t think I have a favorite SW video cover design. I have mixed feelings about all of them honestly.
Last new movie: Cult of Chucky
Last rewatched movie: The Mummy (1932)
I binned my VHS (fullscreen and widescreen) OOT as they were copy-protected. I wanted to transfer them to DVD-R.
Luckily for me, the local video library had UK imports of the original trilogy in widescreen - which weren’t Macrovision protected.
Then I got the 2006 DVD’s with the laserdisc transfers.
I managed to download an earlier version of the SILVER SCREEN edition of STAR WARS from YouTube. I’m good for now - until the OOT gets an official release.
If you have a capture device it should be able to copy them depending on what program you’re using.
The opening credits for Dracula (1931) are edited.
IMDb: “The title card was revised at the last moment to include playwrights Hamilton Deane and John L. Balderston. But the old title card, with the movie’s title in a different typeface, is still visible briefly at the tail end of a lap dissolve to the second credits card.”
This explains while all releases of Dracula pre-2012 features a noticeable jump when the opening title card cross fades into the next set of credits. For the BD Universal ‘fixed’ this by recompositing the opening card so it now crossfades accurately into the next set of credits.
Here is the opening card pre-2012:
Here it is on the BD:
Notice how the letters don’t exactly match up in both?? For example look at the bat’s eyes in both shots or the wing behind the letter ‘D’ in Dracula.
Someone on CHFB had made a recreation of the original opening card that was cut at the last minute but I can’t seem to find it at the moment.
I thought the OOT was finally getting an HD release because of this thread title. Boo.
I think that’s probably what we all were thinking
Sorry to hear that, man. Not sure if it will be of any use to you but just in case…

It’s one of the few places here where everyone is treated with respect. 😉
Yes I have been there and thank you. I was just bringing it up so I wouldn’t be lynched for the duplicate quote! 😉
And thank you oojason. Much appreciated. 😃
Already posted.
Pay attention to what you’re doing!
Ahh missed that. Cut me some slack though guys. Im overcoming a death in the family
Ouch! Pay attention to what you’re doing!
Many thanks crissrudd4554, much appreciated 😃
No prob and thank you!
This is it boys!
Now I’m picturing oojason picking up impscum and throwing him down the reactor shaft.
Only for a successor to come around here later on courtesy of Disney??
2020 isn’t going to make any difference. Kathleen Kennedy has already said the OOT is never coming.
Have you a reliable source for that? (other than the video which was edited that did not give anywhere like the full story when the fan asked her a question she didn’t quite grasp / misunderstood)
Alderaan said:
But that doesn’t stop a mix of eternal optimists and Disney apologists from moving the goalpost every chance they get.Right on cue.
Anything you’d like to tell us, or explain further?
Alderaan doesn’t do that. Not truthfully at least. Kennedy never said anything about the OUT being released or never being released. She basically said she would not change the films as they are now ie no more SE changes.
Never seen Avatar (aside from some brief parts when it was playing at my grandmothers house some years ago and I barely remember that). Just doesn’t seem appealing to my tastes.
Yes, she never said anything of the sort. It’s pretty obvious after watching the full, uncut video. At first she had no clue what the guy was talking about. And then he has to specify and asks specifically if they will make further changes to the “special editions.”
That being said, I don’t think they have any plans to release the OUT.
If she couldn’t tell what he was hinting at, I don’t think we’re getting the OOT anytime soon.
I wouldn’t have known he was taking about releasing the unaltered trilogy either. Seems he was asking if they had plans to make further changes to the SE.
I still don’t think we’re getting the OUT, but this Q&A reveals nothing other than they got no plans to make further changes to the SE.
This^
I too have lost hope for an OUT release but if it does happen unlikely it’ll be without the SE’s. Without the PT I could see because fans already have methods of owning the OT and PT apart from each other.
Commence primary ignition.

Thought I’d give this an update. Anyways about a month ago I found the TV edit in HD for free on OnDemand in the Freeform section and finally got around to capturing it. I was mostly gonna capture it, cut out the commercials, and join the remaining parts together and call it a night before I decided to turn this into a fun project for myself.
For example, there was things that I wanted to restore to the film from the theatrical cut such as uncensored dialogue, the outtakes montage during the closing credits as well as the full closing credits. At the same time I figured maybe I’d remove fade ins/outs for the commercials and have an essentially uncut version of the film.
Some downsides. I had to capture composite so the final result is in 4:3 letterbox. Furthermore I don’t have the BD or an HD version of the theatrical film on hand so to restore the bits I wanted to restore I had to capture my old anamorphic DVD to 4:3 letterbox so it would blend in better with the version I captured on OnDemand. For the most part the results aren’t too bad. This was mostly a project for myself anyways but wanted to present it incase anyone was interested. Furthermore the TV edit isn’t on OnDemand anymore presently so I cant for the time being do a recapture.
Some details of the capturing and editing. Video was captured with ION Video Capture while audio was captured with a VIDBOX capture device. Audio I edited together in Nero and exported as .wav while the video I edited together in Sony Vegas Movie Studio. The final video was rendered as an .mpg.
Some details of the extended/deleted scenes, some of which I think enhance the film somewhat:
Extra bit at the end of fishing scene between Buckwheat and Porky where they are able to interpret Petey’s barking as telling them to go to the club’s emergency meeting.
Longer emergency meeting including Spanky announcing that the go cart tournament will be on the upcoming Sunday.
Slightly longer scene between Alfalfa and Darla in the row boat including her complimenting his voice and questioning if he’s embarrassed to be seen with her which he denies.
Longer fire fighting scene. There’s many extra bits here including: a rascal attempting to stop the fire with a sprinkler but ends up squirting himself in the face, Buckwheat and Porky arriving at the telephone line, Waldo arriving at the scene, a fire truck driving by causing the gang to cheer but they are disappointed when it turns a corner and disappears.
Longer court scene including Stymie questioning Buckwheat who testifies against Alfalfa. This scene IMO works better in this cut than the theatrical.
Slightly longer bank scene which adds more to the irony of the gang running into the similarly clad bearded men outside. The men go inside the bank and the teller played by Mel Brooks initially thinks its the kids coming back and tells them to leave and yanks their beards. He’s shocked to discover the beards are real and that the bags the men are carrying holds $2 million. The men say they will take their money elsewhere and leave, leaving the teller speechless. Another scene I think should have been left in the theatrical cut.
Slightly longer scene at Darla’s porch including Buckwheat pulling more stuff out of his pockets and Darla asking if this will take all day.
Extra bit in the scene where Butch and Woim first attempt to steal The Blur. When Butch says it’ll be like stealing candy from a baby, Woim reminds him that the last time they did that they got the chicken pox.
Slightly longer scene where Alfalfa asks Ms. Crabtree for a spot in the talent show. She tells him they are unfortunately tightly booked but he manages to get her to give him a slot in the show when he lies that his ill stricken aunt from Bulgaria has come to see him sing.
Deleted scene where Darla confronts Alfalfa after his performance. She says this is worse than the picnic, locking her in the clubhouse, and wooing her. Its here she discovers that it was him she had spoken to at the ballet recital. Waldo arrives revealing he will be in the go cart race. He says he doesn’t know if he’ll enjoy his winning or Alfalfa’s losing more before walking off with Darla.
Deleted bit of the gang doing a spolioli when they gather at the hill above the ruins of the club house.
Deleted bit in the montage of the gang building the second Blur of a mother pushing a baby stroller who stops to tie her shoe. While she’s not looking two rascals swipe two wheels from the stroller and run off.
Some video specs:

Again I did this mostly for fun but it was a preservation project of some sort in the end and hence wanted to bring it up here. Yes a real HD version would be nice but unfortunately I’m limited in what I can do but still happy for the most part with what I ended up with. Audio syncs up pretty well. Some scenes the video may be a fraction of a second ahead of the video but not so much that its distracting. I also added custom black bars to make the cuts between both sources a little less obvious. Anyways I don’t have any immediate plans of where to present this but if anyones interested message me and I’ll see what I can do. Any questions please ask! Thanks guys! 😃
Do they have a code clearance??
No. Wayne’s World.
