I'm honestly completely floored...and very, very sad, to be honest.

I used to look forward to the possibility of showing my niece the movies...but my love is dying, something I *NEVER* thought would happen. It's becoming a huge joke that only George is in on. And it's insulting.

What a dick. :( He's spitting on everyone who has ever been a fan of these films.

NTSC has 3:2 pulldown and the whole thing of not being a whole number of frames per second.

It's easy to take a PAL video source and convert it to 24fps - the frames just play back 4% slower, no pulldown or interpolation necessary.

It really doesn't matter, because the final 24fps version is going to be synched to the existing soundtrack preservations.

Why is it 25fps???
Sounds horrible.

and you've gotten aliasing artifacts as well.

 

Harmy does his work at PAL framerate. The actual release will be at the correct speed.

Don't know what's up with the aliasing, either...

Yeah, it's a whole matte painting, which was completely changed in the SE, not just the soldiers in the foreground but also the walls, the window and about half of the soldiers in the room.

I am now encoding WP3 reel one. Here's a little promo from it :-)

I just popped in the documentary extras disc.

Man...mpeg 2? 192kbps sound? Could they have screwed up those older documentaries any MORE? :(

Are you creating DVD's?

God, do I love Jambe's projects.
God, do I hate PAL speed-up. :(

One of my Jaws discs had all of the JTR "deleted scenes" cropped from the AMC airing.
I remember trying to crop it to 2.35 and something turning up improperly. The framing seemed far too tight.
Also, every HD airing (in the US, anyway) has been cropped to 1.85 for all 4 films, including the pay services.

If nothing else, I would try and track down the people who are shown in those credits. It's entirely possible that one of them would have a copy of the special.

SW; it's no longer a movie, it's a drug.

 No, drugs actually make people feel good.

SW is more like..church.

That Hollywood themed Disney park in Florida has a desert skiff, a Rebel Snowspeeder, and the Falcon's chess table, but who knows if they're the real deal or not?

Does it sounds like a press event for tv or radio where they could replace the audio of the questions with a local newscaster.  Or a full event where in the background maybe you can hear the press.  (..having now read the ebay listing) Does the recording seem to be the large press event or part of the local one on one interviews, or a bit of both?

AMAZINGLY perfect.

I only listened to the first disc (it's a full hour) and it contains the audio from the full press conference with Kirsch, Kurtz, Harrison, Carrie, Mark, Anthony and David Prowse.
The 2nd part of the first disc is the 1 on 1 with Harrison.
Haven't listened to the 2nd.

It's all direct from the soundboard.

I believe any of those will do. Definitely DVD2/DVD4

Maybe, and those are great deals, but I'm looking to be able to put any damn thing in the player and run it. So far my Phillips does that for DVD and VCD, but obviously not BR.

Is this something newly found? Just picked the 2CD set up from Ebay and am listening to it now.

You could always get an Insignia from Best Buy. Yuo could get one for less than $50 right now. That's what I have as a back-up :)

Jaws 3 is already available officially on DVD in 3D.

Jambe,

I might have missed it but that actress who wrote "Love You" on her eyelids was in a deleted scene.

Not sure if you had that info.

Yeah, there was a still or two. Maybe I'll include it. Thanks for the reminder.

I can't believe that they don't have the video up from a master. It's just a VHS copy. Very surprising.

I'm going again with my best friend. Got our tickets at Comic Con. Saw it when it was first off-broadway.

Adywan just posted this:

It's a comparison between the Blu-Ray and a 35mm scan of the original version. The Blu-Ray fails miserably.

Yes. I finally got it from Ebay. :)
The quality is shit but...I have it.
I actually emailed you back and never heard back from YOU! :)
Thanks!

IMO, the one overriding reason that the set can be "worth it" is for the 3 old-school documentaries on Disc 9.  The prices on the secondary market for legit versions of "The Making of Star Wars", "SP FX: The Empire Strikes Back", and especially for the Japan-only "Classic Creatures" LD together rival the cost of the BD set. 

Yes, I know that almost everyone on this site has at least on LD-to-DVD transferred version of each of the documentaries (Rowman's for me) but to have a proper release is nice in itself.
