Well people have been waiting for awhile, I don't think a little longer is gonna hurt :P

Damn that's a gout shot? I need to get my eyes checked, or they're doing a really good job of upscaling it. (probably the first)

Call me crazy, but I think the picture You_too posted already has a lot of detail? Keep in mind that that picture is NOT 1080p. But 1280 x 544

What are you comparing the quality to anyway? If it's the official blu-rays, well you can't really expect these captures to have the same quality.

1.) They're using homemade equipment to capture the frames, definitely not perfect. (altough really good results anyway)

2.) these are NOT the original negatives, which is what the blu-rays were made with. These 32mm are basically third generation, so they're gonna look a little "softer"than a direct o-neg copy.

I wasn't on the previous blog, so I hope you'll give me an invite to the new one.

:P

Guess it doesn't have to be 1080p, 720p is pretty indicative of things. (I don't even have a 1080p monitor tbh >_>;)

Any updates yet?

Ya, looks like its the wrong password.

Sweet.

"P.S. Please don't use the GOUT as the theatrical cuts, do something like Harmys Despecialized Edition, just use the Blu-ray and Photoshop some things form the GOUT to delete the S.E. additions. And please fix some Color,and Crushed Blacks problems. Thank You.    "

For LucasFilms it'd probably be EASIER to just track down some original prints and scan those in.

Thanks for explaining. I do still have some trouble understanding why some movies that were made much earlier than Star Wars do seem to have better quality DVD releases than Star Wars.

If you're talking about the blu-rays, it's simple. They used alot of digital tinkering to get dirt off etc, and in the process it smoothed over the whole film (I personally don't think it looks THAT bad)

The reason the original theathrical releases look so bad, is that they're made from laserdisk masters. So they weren't actually directly scanned in from film. It went scan -> digitial cleanup (Somewhat) -> laserdisk master tape -> dvd

Normally films are scanned in at 2k/4k and then downscaled to 1080p. Making them look much better.

The GOUT is dvd, so not even lucasarts was trying to pass that off as HD.

Would it be possible to make some sort of automated script so people can do this if they rip the blu-ray themselves?

fixing the teal I mean.

Why couldn't you view the reels?

Stil sounded like alot of fun though.

Mirc is stil free, but it just "nags" you whilst starting up.
Click continue, wait click continue again.

I use IRC on a daily basis, wouldn't mind.

Can we use efnet? That happens to be conivenent for me.

I suppose either way it shouldn't be too hard to convert between the two.

Cool, thanks for getting an answer :D

Those are some nice skintones man.
Best part is that it doesn't seem to have fucked up the reds in the picture or anything.

I could live without the mono soundtrack, if the new one didn't replace sound effects.

New transfer looks good though, but has some teal here and there. (and in this case I DO think it looks slightly worse with those colors)

I feel...weird. I've been reading it wrong all this time?

Please excuse me whilst I jump off a building >_<;

Ah photo stock is 35mm? Welp I guess the answer's no then ;)

The 32 actually has nothing to do with film stock believe it or not.

Ignoring length of course, is 32mm film stock basically the same as 32mm photo camera stock?

Well I suppose he can't HELP what he's attracted to. But stil kinda creepy man.

Also remind me to build a optical printer, so I can make my own 32mm reels off your scans ;)

Ephebiophile for those who don't know is someone attracted to early puberty.
So think 13-14 year olds.

Dude that is creepy as fuck.
