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.

Pal will give you extra resolution but then the picture and sound will be sped up and you'd have to slow it down for NTSC creating unwanted streaking and artifacts.

Not a good solution.

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...

to anyone who still hasn't sent out your set...PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH POSTAGE ON YOUR RETURN PACKAGE! I've had 2 people now who have sent me packaging which did not have enough postage on them. 83 cents is NOT ENOUGH!!!!!!!!

Mackey,

I'd be interested to see how you compare the set that's anamorphic that I'm sending out.

There are apparently only two that matter. I don't see the point.

Rikter,

You may want to lay off posting your list every SINGLE page. It gets to be showing off at a certain point.

Just a thought...

If you received my original message and have the information, you can go ahead and send them.

I just don't want to get in trouble for doing this.

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.

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.

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...

heh, well, at the very least, ppl with dvd burners should pass the copies along to whoever else wants em.

btw, digitalfreak, are you gonna send out the bonus material too? also, how can you d/l it so fast when I only get 4k a sec?

I will be making copies of whatever people want. I have the supplements disc and if you want that, you send 4 discs instead of 3. Oh and btw...I have the Making of Star Wars and Empire on DVD as well. Mastered from the laserdisc.

Empire is done. Just waiting for Jedi now.

When do you usually get the files to download?

I've been downloading for the last two days.

It takes no effort for me to leave my computer on. I'd rather leave it on and get an ANAMORPHIC transfer with menus than to give my money to someone who's obviously ripping people off. It's a matter of principle. I'm not spending another dime on this trilogy unless it's official.

And btw...he's charging $40.
And it's not the same version as this.
