Thanks, Ady.

Was worth the shot, eh? :(

How was the documentary, in general?

So....supposedly this has OT clips in HD:

"There is a documentary on Netflix called "These Amazing Shadows". The doc is all about the Library of Congress and the National Film Registry. They spend a fair bit of time on Star Wars...and all the footage is from the original release version. They show the original Death Star explosion, for instance. That seems to bolster the idea that they have the 1977 version in the vaults, not the Special Edition."


Anyone checked this out??

Holy zombie thread, Batman!

Both were shot on film, as they were released theatrically overseas. Very few tv movies were ever shot on video back then.

I still have my Laserdiscs. And I captured my off air VHS recording of Battle For Endor a couple years ago.

Question: what was the original format of these movies? Video? Film?

At this point, I'm not sure if I should include the John Cazale documentary or some other stuff that I have. I have an E! documentary celebrating the 25th anniversary and some Entertainment Tonight news reports. I think I might have to include that instead of the Cazale thing.

It's one or the other. Unfortunately, I can't include both. :(

definitely include the television opening of GF3 though

Patching is done.
Might anyone, by chance, have the DVD for "Rediscovering John Cazale?" I'd like to include the commentary and the bonus interviews from that.

This is going to be a VERY loaded BD-50.

There's an official re-release with new transfer coming out in September. Might make this project moot.

...well, how would that be a fan edit?  It's just un-censoring the extended TV cut.  I don't know who would be interested in watching a censored version.

Most people would. The Saga is just a curio, a chance to see the films edited in a different way from the theatrical versions, with those added scenes, and in this case in HD. The minor edits to violence, etc. aren't a big deal, if you're that desperate to see those few seconds of violence/nudity, watch the original cuts. I doubt the Saga is going to be the definitive version for anyone, most people will be going back to the original films as that is how they were intended. There's not that much cut anyway, there was only one use of the f-word in the entire first two films, one instance of brief nudity, and they've cut a few seconds off some violent scenes. The dinner murder scene is left intact, at least. If you want an uncut version so badly, make it yourself.

Which is what you'd use the AMC shots for, right?  You could even use the AMC audio, just replace any censored parts with the Blu-Ray audio when necessary.

Actually bluray writers are cheap and very popular now. However the trend is to streaming services. Bluray is on its way out.

For those of us in the USA, Newegg has a blu burner for $65 on sale. Come on guys no excuses.

ChainsawAsh said:

Well, wouldn't it be best to take the Blu-Ray of I and II and edit it to match the AMC version, only leaving in the AMC shots when they're different?  That way it's uncensored, and in the best possible quality.

The downside would be that the AMC logo, instead of always being there, would only pop up for extended scenes/shots, disappearing for the rest of the movie, which could be distracting.

jwuk...please note that my version will be 1080i with extras.

The TV Vault version is 720p with no extras.

Guys...

I should have this completed by the end of the week. Any ideas on the easiest way to upload 50GB's? :) lol

digitalfreaknyc,

There are seven people seeding Part 3 on TV Vault right now. I'll be seeding it too once I get it.

I'm not getting the 3rd part. No seeds at all. :( :(

Badboy...what are you referring to? I'm not doing anything with an mkv.

all the files i've gotten are in mkv, figured they were the same for you. i wanted to convert them into DVD5 but i don't know how.

Absolutely not. Mine are TS. They are full HD.

I assume you downloaded the 720p files?? How many did you get?

 

4 mkv files, one for each program. The first three are about 3 gb each and the fourth is almost 5 gb. You still need program 3?

^^That was posted a year ago. :(

TServo....sent.

THANKS!

Maybe the person who has it can just privately send me what I need to finish the whole damn thing. Judging by the file size, I'm assuming he did the same thing I did.

@digitalfreaknyc you have any luck downloading that torrent? I'm still stuck at 1.68GB

I'm not a member of that group so I can't download it.

All I would need is the 3rd piece. I'd upconvert that segment from 720p to 1080i and we'd be done. *sigh*

 

you can register, i was able to do it easily all it took was an email activation. i can give u my login info if u can't register.

I meant would it be possible to splice them into one uninterrupted film as opposed to ftwo discs ?

davros said:

What is the running time? and  what is thsi about you spliting it into two discs? surely it could be compressed into one ?

Considering Criterion is rumored to be releasing this on blu, you might not need this for long.
