Perhaps you should forgo any extras besides your usual technical notes?
Is this going to have a Laserdisc stereo track like PSB?
My thoughts exactly, or possibly even consider DVD9?
A stunning improvement.
The only thing that caught my eye is the black panels at 3:16-3:17 seem to warp and fluctuate a bit. As does the rest of the wall up to the doorway, but the black panels are most eye catching.
I haven't looked at it, so I can't comment on the resolution or quality.
My post wasn't meant as a reply to your post. More of a heads up to interested parties of a FS release that actually exists.

This is one of my first project and quality is far from excellent...
I beg to differ, it's one of the nicest looking LD transfers I've seen.
I remember seeing the stills posted above with the flaws, they probably even dissuaded me from checking this out earlier. I'm glad I finally decided to check it out, it looks great.

there will be an higher quality version in the future, take a look at this thread.
Uhmm, yeah I'm not a big fan of the SE. Added grain often bugs me too. Those shots do look pretty amazing though.
I think What I like about your OUT 2.0 is your lack of additional processing / color correction. The lighter DVNR on the pal LD's probably helps too. Also the fact that you capture a really great image with your gear.
A transfer of the Technidisc using gear like yours with no processing or color correction would be awesome. I love the sharper film look it has, scratches and all. I also prefer the more vibrant color over the whiter slightly muted color of the other LD's / GOUT.
My favorite sources out there now are Puggo's 16mm and msycamore's Technidisc. For Star Wars a non DVNR film look just feels right to me.
This looks excellent. Very nicely done.
I'd love to see the Technidisc (DVNR) transferred using your gear / methods.

V12 looks noticeably better, and was an easy pick in all but frame 53500 where I couldn't really pick one over the other.
Funny, I feel almost completely the opposite. V12 and V11 are usually not very noticeably different EXCEPT in 53500. :-) In that one V12 clearly wins (look at the antialiasing on the control panel).
I do see some minor difference on the control panel, but I'm still unable to pick between the two.
In all of the brighter outdoor shots V12 is an easy pick for me, they just look slightly crisper. In any case the difference is pretty small.

Here are a number of comparisons between SRV11 and SRV12. I've adjusted the settings for SRV12 somewhat.

Frame 4961 is very close too. But the V12 looks a tiny bit crisper, like the focus is dialed in slightly better. In fact it appears that's what you've done, taken a blurry out of focus mess and brought it more and more into focus. These frames look really amazing. I Can't wait to see what it looks like in motion.

Here's SRV11 vs SRV12 for the C3PO frame:
I think V12 looks slightly crisper.
They both look so good.
A new high bitrate x264 MKV Fullscreen LD transfer recently appeared on a.b.sw
Thanks for your efforts Puggo
I look forward to seeing this

Very Nice!
I would not have believed that much detail was there to recover.
Nice, I haven't watched RotJ for a while. I think I can wait a bit longer.
Is this going to be DVD9?

The bluray is like a woman who once was beautiful, but now looks horrible thanks to too much plastic surgery and botox.
lol :)
excellent analogy

I wouldn't go that far, we'll probably have to wait for 35mm for that.
Wasn't there an HD scan of a 16mm print in the works?
Indeed.
Nice! I was not aware.

This is the new version, that should become a standard, especially replacing Puggo's 16mm for film fans of the original.
I wouldn't go that far, we'll probably have to wait for 35mm for that. But it is very nice.
Thanks for putting it together, and thanks for sharing the scans poita.
Groovy!
Nice! Thanks AntcuFaalb, and team_negative1
I really look forward to seeing this one.

Just saw the first few minutes and it's looking great!
Bit more beat-up than I prolly would have seen had I seen it in a movie theater, but that goes with the turf I suppose...
It gets better, the first few minutes are not indicative of the rest of the film. Some of it looks stunningly good. Though there is significant damage around the reel changes. and some pretty rough moments on Dagobah where someone may have paused, or handled the film?
The 720p worked great for me in XBMC. I just fired it up in MPC and it's working fine there too. Stuttering issues could be from too slow of a media source, flash drive or? Or a weak PC that isn't capable of keeping up.
Good luck figuring it out, it looks excellent.
I can't wait for a similar release of the first film.
Big thanks to everyone involved in making this project a reality.
The CGI creatures bug me so much I can't stand it. I cannot watch those versions.
I mostly like Harmy's, Puggo Grande, and msychamore's Technidisc (upgrade still possible? :) ). To get the most out of any LD source view at native resolution, or close to it.
I like DarkJedi's V3 too but prefer the non DVNR look. Still, it might be the go to if you want a very consistent look throughout the film.
If you're talking official releases of epIV, I'd say the Technidisc Laserdisc is the best. It has it's problems too, but DVNR isn't one. It and the japanese special collection set are the only releases not damaged by DVNR.
msycamore did a very nice transfer of the epIV Technidisc.
Oh, and big thanks to Belbucus, and CatBus for your efforts
Mono is the best 
Right On!
A mono upgrade is much appreciated.
Puggo Grande' Rocks
I prefer to pretend they don't exist :)
I'd rather watch Plinkett's reviews than the actual movies.
