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!


Where is the vimeo version?

I'll wait for a torrent on this. Not sure how the rapidshare links work but it's not working for me.

(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.


Any step-by-step directions?

More 35mm film from the archives getting scanned and sold that isn't the actual movie. They're just screwing with me at this point.


 They have been screwing with us for a very long time....

Just more bonus stuff to eventually get released on the OOT Blu-Rays. ;-)



Imagine if they released 1 every 2 years to coincide with the new films? Damn.

 


Lucasfilm publically stated seven years ago that they don't have any future plans to restore these films.

Lucas himself have stated that they are dead to him and that he wish they disappear, when being confronted with this question he always give weak excuses not to do it.

Rick Mccallum said in an interview a few months ago that "officially it will never happen."

About four years until we will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the death of the Original Trilogy.


Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not a newbie here. I'm aware of all of that...but a lot has changed.
Hopefully the Disney deal will change some/all of this.

And, realistically, you could say that 9/15 is the 20th anniversary of the death of the original trilogy. That's when the laserdisc set was released and the last remaster of GOUT.

I'm pretty sure those extra clips will look like crappy 360p YouTube vids. So basically it's (possibly great) material going to waste, because of no proper release.


I'm sure you're probably right. I mean, these are meant to be read/played on tablets so the quality needn't be that high.

However, I'm hopeful that any transfers done had a higher master that could possibly be used for individual releases. Lets face it: each film deserves its own special edition with film-specific extras. I'm hoping Disney sees the potential there.

Yeah, from what Rintzler said in the interview, there's going to be a TON of extra stuff. Whereas the print book may have had 1 picture of something, the digital might have 5-10. And there's going to be clips: specifically what was mentioned was the crew roaming around the Death Star, an alternate version of the Luke Hoth scar restoration, etc.

I'll try and scan the important parts when I get back home today.

I can only imagine that the file sizes for these books is going to be huge.

My apologies if this has been mentioned already but there's an article in the newest Star Wars Insider about the digital editions of the "making of" books that is coming out in the fall. It's mentioned that additional deleted scenes/dailies will be included in them.

Sucks that they couldn't be put into another boxed set. I'm reminded of the "Making Magic" set...

I guess we'll only have crappy quality versions of them.

There was also this DTS edition from Japan.

I used to have it. I must have thrown it out, I guess. Unless I threw it in a closet somewhere.
