Ooops.

i was wrong.

scratch that.

But it does say DVD9 quality...which is bullshit. It's not dual layered...they're just saying it's dual layer quality.

Some poor sap is gonna purchase this and it's all crap.

You guys keep missing the fact that this auction is for the SE's and Non-se's. One disc has one and the other has the other. The movies aren't split. It's just every version together in one box.

I wonder if these are the new DVD+R dual layered versions. Who knows, I guess.

Patrick,

Are your masters going to be NTSC or PAL?

oojason, that's not true.

There is no expiration date on CD's, DVD's or laserdiscs. Some LD's were prone to rot. The only thing that's confirmed to degrade over time is tape.

There you are right, but it was mixed up to a 5.1 mix from all analog sources

There's a difference between a mix derived from an analog source and a mix that's created from a 2.0 stereo mix as he's trying to do. I'm still right.

I was referring to the SE LD's, not the upcoming SE DVD's. The LD's were done strictly from analog sources. Burtt has digitized all known audio sources (save an occasional line of dialogue or foley effect) to remix the DVD soundtracks.

This is completely and totally false. The soundtracks for the SE LD's were the same soundtracks used for the theatrical re-releases in 1997 which were (for all intensive purposes) 5.1 mixes. The laserdiscs were faithful to this new remix and had some of the best directional effects around. No fidgeting with a 2.0 mix is going to achieve that. Sorry, but you're wrong.

It's not like my soundtrack is causing you physical harm, right? Quit making this into a pissing contest.

I never said it was. If you're creating these for yourself, then fine. I don't care if you make pan-and-scan versions of them. But if you're making them to try and better the versions out there, a 5.1 remix that you've done yourself is not going to do it. Regardless of what you're doing...a remixed and compressed 5.1 remix will NEVER sound better than a PCM 2.0 if that was its original format.

Drop the attitude. I've been nothing but nice on this forum and I'm doing a big service to the fans. Just because I'm challenging what YOU are doing, don't get nasty.

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.

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!!!!!!!!

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.
