Hey Dude...chill out. It gives me a Pro-logic II soundtrack without needing a Pro-logic II outboard decoder (which I don't have), and the .ac3 file takes up far less space than the PCM file. If you knew what you were doing, you'd see the obvious benefits here.

If you also knew what you were doing, you'd know this is exactly how LFL derived their 5.1 soundtrack for the SE's, rather than from the 6-track masters. As for me, I've been doing months of research and spent hundreds of dollars for this project, and now I have a great looking AND SOUNDING SW DVD of the O-OT.

"The Def. Collection is the same transfer as the faces laserdisc. *sigh* Do you know what you're doing?"

Which is precisely why I asked my question. *sigh* Do you comprehend what you are reading?


Part of the problem with EVERY bootleg that has come out is precisely what you're doing. There's NO reason to remix to 5.1 because it never sounds good. And i completely challenge your statement that what LFL did with the SE's was to remix the regular track to 5.1 like your doing. Completely not the case. They did a complete overhaul of the films soundtrack.

And if you had a great sounding set, they would be in uncompressed PCM instead of your compressed Dolby Digital.

Yes, I comprehend what I'm reading. But obviously someone who has done months of research and spent hundereds of dollars on equipment should know what the hell they're transferring before they do it, no? Or am I just ASSuming something.

You are correct...a 4% difference. But that is not the only problem you will have in displaying it if you have an NTSC TV. There has to be an internal conversion of the signal which results in other problems.

For me, the 4% can be very annoying unless you tune it out which can be hard. Sometimes you don't have a choice.

With these, I'd much rather use an NTSC source especially with Star Wars, which I know word for word, note for note.

Bidding on the LD definitive collection at the moment - wish me luck!


You're welcome to try but I don't think it would be possible to make a better version than the 16x9 ones I have. With the commentaries and extras, they take up every last bit of data on a blank disc. I wouldn't waste your time or your money until the dual-layer burners come out. Then a while lot of new boots will come out and you could make yours one of the first. Just my opinion...

The offer is now closed.

I don't know how many of you have sent in your discs but now I'm getting threats saying I'm going to be arrested and sued for what I'm doing.

I never meant any harm and never meant to take advantage of anyone. Good luck with the torrents and I guess TK47 is back in business.

I will fulfill any requests that people have sent me but no more.

I was thinking on something along the lines of a LD player rigged into some sort of "LD-Drive" that you can hook up directly to the IDE port.

If that was possible I could back up my LDs with the highest quality (i.e. losless). *starts dreaming*


It's impossible.

Laserdisc is an analog format.

later guys


Exactly what I'm talking about. Making money off of the fans.

Though if I may be so bold as to say it, if you're stupid enough to pay $50 for packaging (ugly packaging at that...who wants them all in one case???), good luck to you.

digitalfreaknyc,
What special features are on the supplemental disc? Does it have the trailers and deleted scenes? I know either way I'm sending the discs, but I was just curious to see what specials are on the supplemental disc. Thanks



It has all the supplements that were contained in the Definitive Edition laserdisc set. There have never been deleted scenes available on VHS or laserdisc. It does contain the trailers.

I just check PRICEWATCH.COM and found 100 yes 100 blank DVD-r for only $40 shipped to your door!


True, these probably aren't the best DVD-R's and personally, I only use something that's going to last but as I said, there's a possibility of having something that WILL last and at much cheaper prices than what TK47 is charging.

Digitalfreaknyc, I have sent you an e-mail, But I have some questions.


All you need from me are blank dvd-r discs and then I just send
you the package with the discs in it, and you send them back to me with the dvd data
recorded on them?



And make sure you put enough postage on the package to get back to you. And that's it!

Hey all,
Given the less than amicable reception to the sales of my set, and the fact I found a supplier of blanks for cheaper, I am lowering my price down to $25 shipped for the 5 disc set and $5 for additional discs, effective tomorrow. I don't expect this to change anyone's opinion of my actions but I thought an update was warranted nonetheless.


oh please.

a different supplier? It's called Best Buy. I buy 25 blanks for about $40-50.

again...my offer stands. 4 blank discs. Plus shipping.

That's all you pay.

Is this the Anamorphic set that I've been hearing about?



Rikter,

Those are the anamorphic discs that I am offering.

Let me know, guys!!!


I've already sent off emails to those who have emailed me. If you didn't receive an email with my instructions, please email Digitalfreaknyc@aol.com and I will get them to you.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN GETTING THE FREE COPIES OF THE 3 STAR WARS MOVIES (PLUS SUPPLEMENTS): READ THIS!

I'm done downloading all the discs and I will now open them up for B&P (blanks and postage). If you are interested, shoot me an email at Digitalfreaknyc@aol.com. I will send out a mass email detailing how we will accomplish this and how I will get you all your copies.

I also have The Making of SW/Empire mastered from laserdisc. It hasn't been cleaned up but is a good enough copy if you're interested in that as well.

Again, I'm doing this because it's pointless to charge people for this and I don't believe real fans would. I just ask that you give me time as I'm sure there are going to be a good number of people interested.

Thx...
