Thanks a lot for sharing these poita!
JEDIT: I just saw that you also shared reel 3 so thanks a lot again! I would like to thank you while using your real name but I'm not sure that you want everybody here to know it, so let's call you poita ;-)
Anyway, it's pretty strange because your link says "ANH" but the file is "ESB".

Here is a sample of the audio at 25fps. I haven't had a chance to check it yet.
Wow it sounds pretty nice for a mono optical 16mm track!
I've tried to sync it with the GOUT and it's quite a pain in the ass to do, it seems to have a bunch of missing frames...
Exacty, and it is the original '77 crawl.
Looks damn impressive! Besides some crushed blacks I'm quite speechless. Good job.
Alright, that's interesting. I don't see the point of having a lock option with 25fps and not with 24. Doesn't make any sense to me since most of the films are meant to run at 24.
Thanks for the links and all the informations. Indeed it seems that 16mm optical tracks can be a bit destructive... Like you said, fingers crossed.
Also, why did you have to capture the audio at 25fps? 50/60Hz issues? It could make sense. I know for example that some 35mm projectors in Europe used to run at 25fps because of 50Hz.
Really? I didn't know that. From the small samples I've heard in Marvins videos the audio was okay but we never know. The sound came directly from what seemed to be the built-in speaker of the projector so I can't really tell.
Are you saying that magnetic sound is usually better on 16mm prints? What is the main difference between a 35mm optical track and a 16mm one?
From what I've seen so far, the colours are pretty solid on SW and a bit faded on ESB.
Poita, thank you for scanning these. I'm really really interested in the original mono track on the SW print. I've never heard it in good quality. On every single video release, the stereo track is awful as well. Bad audio transfers unfortunately.
No problemo. I can't wait to see the scans anyway! I mostly can't wait to hear the original French mono track as you already know! :-)
Good crawls for both movies? I thought that the first one was in English on your 16mm print.
The 2004 edition was so badly done. You can actually see the tail of the '97 Jabba during the transition in the scene where he talks with Han.

See?
That's awesome then! Really glad to know that! :-)

These are not from the rented print, but it will be being scanned soon.
The 16mm prints also have all been scanned and are being returned to their owner this week.
The 16mm prints owner. Are you talking about Marvins?
I know that he is waiting for some prints to be scanned.

I take it Legacy is on schedule for its September release/showing?
He's not releasing it or showing it either.
He's keeping the final product for sale to LFL/Disney if they are somehow interested which would be quite surprising actually.
1000 at least would be better. I've just signed btw. I don't believe it will do anything but eh, we never know!
And here we go in much higher quality:
Yeah pretty cool indeed, the colour timing is quite interesting. It was aired in France.
Here you go, thxita! I've just uploaded the two textless scenes from my FR DVD:
I think that's all.
@Tservo: I've seen screenshots from this German edition, I would love to see the whole movie like that but I can't find it for a decent price unfortunately.
I have a similar DVD edition of From Dusk Till Dawn which is directly sourced from a 35mm release print. I also have a TVrip of Back to the Future like that.
I've just checked and my DVD version is this one without the English titles at the beginning. I can send you the scenes if you want, thxita :-)
Yeah sure, what about the interpositive that was on Ebay a couple months ago?
I own the French Widescreen second release which uses the same master as the first P&S edition.
Everything is in English, we even have one channel for the English mono track and another for the French mono track.
I've never seen any localized version of that movie which is pretty weird since we generally do that a lot.
The project is interesting, I've recently made my own localized French version of Back to the Future in HD :-)
Bonne chance et bon rétablissement mon cher ami, poita! :-)
Yes, TV channels generally have the non-DNR version of the film.
I don't see the point of using DNR and EE with a pristine new 4K transfer so don't worry about that.
You really didn't get it then.
He never said it was inferior, he only said that he wanted a simple regular Blu-ray made of a new 4K master because 4K BDs are not available yet.
