Info & Help: looking for... other ld-rips to dvd movies ex. blade runner int cut, songs of the south, frighteners dir cut - and much much more...
Time
he is referring to the international cut,also known as the criterion,it has extra footage(mostly added violence to the scenes and a different ending) and it has the original deckard(Harrison Ford)narration throughout the entire movie,much better version than the directors cut,this version sucks and you would think the directors cut would mean its better,but not in this case.

Info Wanted: What is the best OT preservation project - and how do we get it?
Time
i was in the same boat as you a couple months back,did you try myspleen.net if you sign up there they have a whole lot of kick ass star wars downloads,also you can hook up with Rikter here at OT and he could send you a list of the Star Wars titles he has,i have gotten a bunch from him and he is ONE Helluva Stand Up Guy,he will not do you wrong.
hope this helps just ask around some guys if you PM them will just send you some freebies.
hope this helps

Info: WookieGroomer set - any disc art & covers? (Released)
Time

I just dl’d this set and it ROCKS this is definitely one of the COOLEST sets i have ever seen(very many thanks to you master wookie groomer)
the question i have is this,i have the case art for this excellent set but was wondering if any of you talented artists have made any disc art?
I have burned the entire set on inkjet printable ritek discs and would like to top them off with some fantastic art,then slide them into displayable clam cases.
cant wait to show these babys off to my friends and family.
thanks in advance

someone here has to be an expert at this?
Time
i have been trying since i started the limitedsharpen() thread on getting AviSynth to work,and just cannot get this damn proggie to run,so please can someone tell me what the heck i am doing wrong,i got some suggestions at doom9 but none helped and it seems my thread has stalled.i am almost to the point where i will pay someone to write me a tutorial LOL.
well here is where i am at right now,this is my script:

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\MaskTools\MaskTools.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\warpsharp.dll")
LoadPlugin("c:\Program Files\Avisynth 2.5\plugins\old\LoadPluginEx2.dll")
LoadPlugin("c:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\DustV5.dll")
Import("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\limitedsharpen.avsi")
AviSource("c:\capture\ba.avi")
ConcertToYUY2()
PixiDust()
LimitedSharpen()

and this is the error i get no matter what i do

AviSynth open failure:
AviSynth:Script open failed!

i have tried avisynth 2.55 and 2.53 i am thinking about trying the new beta,but i am sure i will still get the same error.

so i beg of someone to please have a look and help a avisynth greenhorn out
thanks in advance

Info Wanted: a question for the pro's - which is the best OT preservation release?
Time
thanks guys for the responses,i mean no ill will here just wanting opinions.i guess i would like this in a set, very crisp clear picture(because i have a 62" HiDef TV)
and the multiple sound tracks sounds cool but i dont know how to switch between them(if someone could tell me how that would be great),because i just downloaded the WookieGroomer splitscreens ANH,ESB,and ROTJ but do not know how to switch tracks.because of the above mentioned tv i would definitely like widescreen and i have this receiver Yamaha RX-V2500 and this dvd player Denon DVD-1710/DVD-555,so with this mentioned what set or sets would take advantage of my set-up?
thanks again for all the responses hopefully this is a better question so no one argues over whats good and whats not,i am sure they are all good.

sorry if this is in the wrong place,but was wondering from you guys which set you think is the all around best one made(sound,menu’s,video,etc)
of the original trilogy preservation projects?the reason i am asking is because i am pretty new here and i see alot of different torrents on myspleen
and read all the project posts here,and they all sound great,am i to assume they should all be dl’d or are some better than others?
i would think that the newer works are better than the older because of newer software and hardware,but i could be wrong,thats why i am sking
all the great experts here that have probably watched and own all available.
thanks in advance

ok moth3r i added this other line:
AviSource("c:\capture\Hunter\Hunter1.avi")
ConvertToYUY2()---------------------------------------------------added this,because of the above error is this right?
LimitedSharpen()


# LimitedSharpen()
#
# A multi-purpose sharpener by Didée
#

function LimitedSharpen
etc..............
now it plays in virtualdub but sound is choppy and it like skips but does look better,this is also an old vhs tape video camera that already had a bunch of crap already recorded on it,just trying to clean this up the best i can because this is the ONLY video footage of my 4 year old as a baby.
I assume the video and sound will be alot better on my LD project as opposed to this?
can you look this over see if this is right and what else should i add for the star wars laserdiscs to look as good as i can get them?

thanks for all your time and help

thank you very much for the help moth3r, i will try right now and get back to you.
dark jedi

well i just tried it and now i get this error:

AviSynth Open Failure:
MergeLuma:YUV data only(No RGB);Use ConvertToYUY2 or ConvertToYV12

so what do i do now? darn, i didnt think it would be this tricky just to clean up my video on my ld's
I put everything on hold untill i can sharpen the video.I will share this stuff if any one wants or maybe the bonus stuff on the ld's
i also have alot of the 80's cartoon sets and some of the newer stuff like Teen Titans ALL episodes.
