but it will be a cold day in ***** before i ever touch a newsgroup,

or post files there (see my sig)....torrents work for me, so i don't

mess with anything else......besides here in the US, some providers

are cutting off the whole alt.* newsgroups anyways...

later

With a premium news server, NOMP, and a subscription to Newzbin, Usenet can be just about as convenient as BT.

Not really.  I click one button and my torrent starts.  And it's free. 

I'll never do newsgroups.  And I guess that means I'll never be getting Wookiegroomers editions :(

I've tried asking around about these ultra-exclusive HD torrent sites but it doesn't seem like anyone is offering up any info.

Out of his budget.

 I know the print is...but if someone else bought it, would he be able to do it?

That was my question.

Ugh.  Wait.  This is all through newsgroups?!?  No thanks.  *sigh*

Excited for nothing. :( :(

Fantastic!  thank you for posting about this :)

Dammit.  I was just coming here to post:

http://cgi.ebay.com/STAR-WARS-THE-MAKING-OF-1977-16mm-film-print-SCI-FI_W0QQitemZ160381198384QQcategoryZ63821QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp4340.m8QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DMW%26its%3DC%26itu%3DUCC%26otn%3D5%26ps%3D63

Could you do an HD version of it?

I have just the intro, I believe, from BETA.

So this is going to be the premiere of the "new" yoda from the Phantom Menace.

I'm surprised more "news" isn't being made about that.

They show a part of it in the "making of" special.

Where ya been??? :)

I've not been able to find a torrent for Phantom Menace anywhere.

Anyone?  There seem to be a couple...the other being bit-hdtv.com

I'd appreciate it.

Sorry if this has been posted before!

Hey guys...played it back on my DVD player today and it worked perfectly!  No issues!  Great job! :)

Question...were the trailers for all 4 films not contained in the quadrilogy???

Step two - copy everything over to another brand drive.  Hell, two other drives.

 Ohhhhhhhhhh so done :)

I got my drive back.  After $600...EVERYTHING was saved.

Thank god. 

And I'd like to send out a nice little "F U" to Seagate for making all of this possible...and not cleaning up the mess afterwards.

ummm....ok....BACK ON TOPIC

Raiders leaked quite some time ago.  Everyone is still waiting for TOD and LC

You're the first to mention it, which parts are you referring to? Has anyone else had any problems?

The only source I had for the DirectTV commercial was a webrip (via tb1971). If you know of better...

 Hmm...I just watched the TV commercials...and they're about a second out of sync.  I'm going to have to watch the rest. 

The last thing I want to do is disrespect you guys for putting this together.  Maybe it's a problem with the download?  I dunno...

Doesn't make sense that a rapidshare download would create a sync problem

Not to be a jerk but why is the audio so horribly out of sync on some of this?  I've only watched a few parts and it's unwatchable.

I'm also really surprised that the DirecTV commercial is in such poor shape.

I thought this doesn't work with Time Warner cable boxes.  Has something changed?  I've been wanting to capture HD stuff forever.  Doesn't seem like it's happening.

your best bet is to get "raid edition" drives, which are designed for more usage regardless if you use them for raid or not (i.e. WD RE3 drive, NOT RE4-GP which is a green/low power model). the seagate 7200.12 drives are good, too, but i wouldn't be surprised if you are opposed to them...

 

 I'm already up and running with 2 Western Digital 620gb drives.  They'll be cloned so no worries about losing info again. :)

Guys,

I want to thank you all for the kind words and the paypal offer. 

As much as I don't want to take you up on it, I just may.  At this point, i don't even know if the material has been saved.  if it has, I will let you know and we'll take it from there.

As a thank you, I would promise to get the Indy discs out immediately and I would give early download links to anyone who contributes.

I'm also planning on re-doing the original discs for the first 3 movies as well. 

I promise to keep you updated.

I disagree about IMAX, but only if the film is *shot* in IMAX.  Blowing up 35mm (or worse, digital) film to IMAX (which is 70mm turned on its side) is completely pointless.  But I guarantee if you compare something that was shot on 70mm/IMAX to anything shot on 35mm, it completely blows it out of the water.  If it weren't so damned expensive, I'd prefer that everything were shot on 70mm.

I don't like the fact that you have to shoot in one aspect ratio for IMAX.

But, yes, 70mm would absolutely be preferred.

I feel the same way about 3D as I do about IMAX: needless gimmick.
