I think if Lucasfilm announced the OUT at Celebration the attendee nerd-gasms would last for a thousand generations!

I agree. Celebration could be a perfect time to announce it if it's something they're doing. If they do release the OUT I think it'll either be released Christmas 2014, or Fall 2015 at the latest. If they do decide on a later release date then Celebration would be a great time to announce it, especially since that audience would love something like that.

The main audio tracks are all lossless again?

The film has shown on The Horror Channel in the UK quite a bit recently - it'll have a watermark on it, but is probably someone's best bet for a "clean", non-VHS copy.  There don't appear to be any airings lined up but it'll be worth keeping an eye out for one.

Uh oh. Are getting all these dubs together going to hold up the release? ;)

Is that not Kathleen Kennedy in the red?

*drooling*

Damn. Too bad nothing of good...or even high quality exists at the moment. A friend is looking for a print or scan of it.

Does anyone have a copy of this? Or interested in trying to get a scan of it?

Oh, I'm already working on Jedi :)

Probably both at the same time.

Huh?

Nooo! Now that hairy_hen is nearly finished with the audio tracks, I will have Empire v2.0 out as soon as I get the tracks from him and you will have wasted a DVD9 disc, because this new version is just so much better than v1.0 it's not even funny...

No offense but that's like saying you shouldn't be able to tell the difference between an mp3 and a CD. And that's just dumb.

 Actually, most available testing shows that people can't tell the difference between a proper, high-bitrate mp3 and a CD. The difference is usually a placebo or a poorly encoded or low bitrate mp3.

Of course, I would much rather have a CD then an mp3 album, simply because it's more versatile, and I can rip to the format of my choice (vorbis!).

 I don't know. I just assumed PCM always sounded better than compressed DD.

 Unless they give it a particular anemic bitrate or screw up the encoding, DD (and other lossy codecs) should sound identical to a lossless track (of the same master). The whole idea of lossy compression is to remove data that the human ear can't hear. Lossless audio is useful for editing as going from one lossy codec to another will produce noticeable decay.

That being said, poor encodes happen as does over filtering audio tracks. (Which is one of the reasons this thread exists.)

Actually, I use this box and have absolutely no problems whatsoever:

The problem was more with the capture program than anything else. Adobe Audition 3 had drop-outs but 6 was totally fine.

anyone has jaws 2?

the bd is in the talks for quite some time. but will it contain the original mono? who knows. besides, there are some hd releases we could use it on :)

so a unsynced ld audio of this movie would be sweet :D

and for the sake of... jaws 3 and 4 too ;)

:( Too bad.

Any updates on this? :)

Random question: does anyone know if Donnie Brasco ever got a DTS track? Unfortunately the Blu-ray was just released with lossy dolby digital and figured I'd check here for some sort of upgrade.

Nothing on that site works....on Chrome or firefox.

 Unfortunately Russ used ActiveX for calling Windows Media Player. It works ONLY on IE. On other browsers you have to check the source code to get the path to the mp3 file

IF these ever happen, I could see it being announced at next years Con...or possibly NYCC this fall. Maybe...

Does anyone hear think that Disney might not ever release the OT out of respect for Lucas' "true vision" for the films

Nope. If the fans don't respect Lucas's "true vision", why would an organization devoted to making money respect it?
