Anyone who collects all the extras from every release on one disc and torrents it is a hero in my book.

No one is going to know until it's in stores, at this point.

I'm just holding off on everything until I see detailed listings.

Let's get a hold of ourselves here.

First of all, there's no extra Vudu material.

Second, the German disc is going to have the bonus material from Target.

Third, Best Buy in the US DOES have additional bonus material on cinemanow but NOT on the disc. However this additional material is actually on the disc in Canada and is exclusive to there.

Fourth, the Sainsbury DVD is the same as Target/Germany.

Fifth, there is no Wal-Mart bonus disc.

Done.

All the HDTV broadcasts have been the theatrical cut.

Like I said...I'd love it. I just never found it. :( I don't have newsgroups.

So I'm bringing up this thread again because I got some more Betacam SP tapes but they're smaller and they only have a "window" on the lefthand side. They're all original interviews for Attack of the Clones. Anyone know the differences between types of Betacam SP tapes?

It's been upconverted, by their own admission on the page.

But still comes direct from original 35mm if that is the case it is still unmolested and untimed 

If it is an upconversion it is from an HD or close to it source, no way it is SD but at some point it was interlaced 

CatBus said:

I think it is HD, but from a much worse source than other HD sources.  Like scans of a spliced-together projection print (which would result in quality around the level of -1's project, which I think it does).  The Sebastian Shaw ghost looks better than what we've got right now IMO, but like you said earlier, it's not enough frames for anything useful.  Oh well.

It's been upconverted, by their own admission on the page.

People saying the WOWOW was too cold and not warm enough...

 

Not the best source or encode but THX WOW HD Vs. WOWOW

Btw..someone mentioned on BD.com that there's a trailer on the Volcano laserdisc. Specific to the movie. FYI.

Some new information?

Told you.

zeropc said:

i have interest in changing the samplerate or making a custom blu-ray ;)

besides, if going from 44.1khz to 48khz makes the audio sound worse, then all of the ld audio transfer and theatrical dts mixes to blu-ray would sound bad. but they don't :P ;)

I believe that someone said an uncompressed PCM track at 41000 basically equals a DTS 448 track at 48000.

I don't have the 2002 version. I never found it. :(

I did, however, make a bonus disc for the set that included a new recording of the documentary. ;)

dts-hd master audio suite does this.

As if we didn't all see this coming...

I wonder what we'll all talk about after the fact? That it doesn't have all the audio mixes we love? :) lol

Harmy said:

Well, what I'm looking for are the original '77 mixes (whatever the best current preservations of them are) encoded in DTS-HD MA format. I already have h_h's 70mm 5.1 but I still don't have the other two.

I'm very excited this is finally here.  I had converted your previous Vimeo version to a DVD, but this will certainly be better quality, and I'm looking forward to downloading it.  Thanks for all your hard work!

I'm definitely interested. Are you doing this losslessly with the Blu-ray as source?

How much do you charge for transfers? :)

If there's a 16mm source, couldn't an HD version be created?

I'm sure when AMC showed it it was in HD, but it's starting to look like nobody recorded it.

(Similar to the above post)

This <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/laserdiscmodder">guy</a> made a pile of mods to a Pioneer CLD-99  LD player, including a video output bypass that circumvents the circuits that (in their heyday) cleaned up the video signal before piping it out via RCA or S-Video. His mods apparently produce about the best video signal you can get out of a laserdisc player. I can't thoroughly explain it, but for all the tech-junkies, it might be worth a visit to his youtube page. If anyone could produce the best copy transfer off of the CAV GOUT discs, I'm sure he could. He's also on AVSForum <a href="http://www.avsforum.com/u/8379486/laserdiscmodder">here</a>, if anyone wanted to petition him. 

I've been scouting for a set of the SW LD's for awhile now.

that being said...

CAN'T Wait for 2.5! The blu-ray burner is hooked up and ready to go!  

I have done these mods and more to an X9, it does improve the signal, but only a little.
