Harmy's STAR WARS Despecialized Edition HD - V2.7 - MKV (Released)
Time

[quote=nderthexenocide]



UPDATE: Nevermind, just downloaded an iBook sample and the iBook is CLEARLY better and higher resolution.  Some photos in the Kindle edition are pixelated, and crystal clear on the iBook.  Kind of miffed that the difference wasn't advertised, however, can't complain to be paying $12.99 twice for this collection of amazing content.


Ugh. Is there any way to download the iBook version and use it on my kindle?

Isn't the BD for TDK slathered in DNR and edge enhancement? Is there any alternate HD source without those problems?


It is, and being as it was the first BD I ever owned I did not realize how unnatural it looked until I got a few other discs to compare to.

I know occasionally it's on HBO and other premium channels but the whole movie is usually presented at 1.78:1.


Scroll up.

Color me....VERY underwhelmed. Wow.


Fair enough. But on a site where just rumors of news get people buzzing, you can't be surprised that some of us are excited to see some unseen BTS footage.


I'm always grateful for unseen footage. I just can't imagine showing something like this at a convention and getting laughs. I guess when I saw "blooper reel," I expected something....funny.

Other than that, it's awesome. I always welcome new footage.

So the digital version of these books has only been out for a few days, and already certain people are ripping it and sending copies of it to each other?! Way to go!

Did it not occur to anyone here that the author might VERY well hang out here sometimes.......? Instead of copying it why not support his work by PAYING for a copy? There's a ton of hard work that has gone into these books, the least we can do here is to support work like this - as we support certain projects here - not copy it as if we were entitled to it. Not like this is a preservation project or something...!

Not cool...

 


I purchased all 3 in hardcover AND I purchased all 3 on Kindle (because I have a kindle). As I don't have an iPhone or an iPad, I'm not purchasing it a 3rd time to get HD files. So get on your high horse somewhere else...

DD DTS THX [BD project] (* unfinished project *)
Time

The pod race was, apparently, not the extended version. It's the original theatrical version. So it's different. Not sure if there's anything else different about the sound mix or anything like that...

Also, here's the laserdisc. It's going for pretty cheap on ebay!

I still can't wait for this.

Btw...I checked the DVD that I have and it looks like you have all of them.

As a suggestion, I would also include the Episode 1 Pod Race and my DVD has the DCS Cubes trailer as well. I know it's not DD/THX/DTS but it's cool for what it is.

Hell, if you could get a laserdisc transfer of the original THX disc, that'd be awesome.

Is this the same source (before he sold it)?

Also, in an effort to not derail this thread, is there another to discuss VHS decks?


Looks to be from the same broadcast, but the WHIO has better colour and less distorted sound. The YouTube clip is definitely a generation or two further away from the one Tasjo has provided us with.


Well, of course it's the same broadcast. There was only one. :)
