This is all very exciting, csd79! Unfortunately, there is so much compression on that dropbox clip, it's hard to gauge any quality from it.
I Look forward to seeing the fruits of your hard work!

I really like how your first version looks, so I'm still looking forward to your upgraded version. :)
same here!

hey, that's wonderful news all around poita! Really looking forward to seeing the results of your hard work. If it's anything like the quality job you did on the 8mm, it's going to be killer!

Thanks pjvader. Cool project BTW!

Sorry to be a picky bitch, but this is a "reconstruction", not a "preservation". Can you change the thread title to reflect that?
thanks,

I would LOVE to see a 720p MKV up on myspleen. <hint>

*batshit crazy ass long post*
This is the nicest thing you have ever said in a -1 thread, Frink! You gotta go easier on the guy.
Your post, which is 73688 characters long (including HTML generated by the forum script), is over the forum limit of 64000 characters. Please shorten your post and submit the form again.
removing the carriage returns should get it back under the limit! ;) Sorry -1, couldn't resist. Love you anyway!

Over the last few years, we have been posting various samples of the print, and different tests.
This post combines most of the links for reference.
For those that doubt we have the print, or what portions of it, you'll see that from the very first
frame of the intro, to the last frame of the credits.
We have sampled every reel, and put up video, sample frames, and audio of each one.
All are available in HD and sometimes higher resolutions.
These should serve as a future reference for those investigating this print and the
evolution of this project.
For ESB frames : Refer to the Star Wars Color Timing Thread, which
has many examples.

Nice -1!
-G
Okay, just throwing good money after bad here. After not being able to read the iTunes version, bought the Google edition. Good news is, I can at least read it now. Bad news is, after downloading, none of the video content is available offline, meaning, the video content is all in the cloud, and I can't watch it on a plane even though I now own two copies of it!
I've about had it with this fucking DRM shit! Go FUCK yourself Apple, Google, Amazon, B&N. Fuck you!
-G
Anyone know if the Google Play version has the higher resolution?
-G
DRM removal isn't working for me either. I'm using an iPhone (5.1.1), Requiem 3.3.6, and iTunes 10.5.2.11 on a PC. The problem is that this particular ebook was made for iPad only, so I can't authenticate for use on my iPhone. Requiem says:
The following files could not be decrypted: Making of Star Wars (Enhanced.ibooks(Key not found. Can you read this book?)
I'm guessing we need an iPad.
-G
I'd love a new version, msycamore, and if the de-rainbowing script has ANY side-effects whatsoever, best do it without.
-G
What the foooook is this? The holy grail? It appears to be in my book. I would LOVE a copy, Tasjo!
-G
poita,
That ROTJ print looks great!
-G
Echoing AntcuFaalb's excitement! I can't wait!
-G
I *think* part of the problem you are running into is that you correctly want to brighten the violet, and darken the blues, but you are darkening the blues by darkening all that is super-saturated, which contradicts what you are doing to the violet. Might need to re-think the workflow. I wish I had experience with Premier, as you seem to be on the right track, but I can't provide any constructive feedback.
-G
NeverarGreat, you should now be called AlwaysarGreat! Because these are great!
Best over-all color correction I've seen to date of the '04, and there's some pretty stiff competition.
-G
It looks like you got it, ilovewaterslides. let me know.
No worries. I'm just glad someone else will be enjoying it finally!
-G
Man, I seeded Althor's version forever and no one bit. Reseeding now.
-G
This is very exciting. Please consider releasing it as-is, without any processing. I would love to have a copy!
-G
oops, the e-mail request was actually from AntcuFaalb.
NeverarGreat said:
Well that's one down.
What dream shall I inadvertently stamp out next?
Hmm...
...SoIDontThinkThere'sEnoughColorInformationInTheGOUTToRecolo
Sorry. The GOUT release sounds great. It will be challenging, but it may be possible.
:)
Well, YouToo proved us all wrong on that one. Trust me though, there's no fixing the DVNR.
