GOUT, Automated Theatrical Colouring, and a Reference Guide
Time

I've toyed around with the color boost on Nero 9 & have had decent results.  I find by setting the color boost to 25 that it makes everything look really good.  The only problem is it makes the limitations of the GOUT just a touch more obvious, but i guess that is the trade off here.  At least it doesn't look as dull as it did before.  Personally i like it but others may not.  Just wanted to share this with anyone who may want to toy around with Nero.

Missing Scene?
Time

I've always heard that there is a scene missing from some of the opening day prints of Star Wars.  I believe it was the part where Han & Luke are taking Chewie as a prisoner transfer & Chewie growls at the little robot on the floor of the Death Star.  Is this true?  Or is it along the same lines as the second throw of the grappling hook?

Star Wars 1977 70mm sound mix recreation [stereo and 5.1 versions now available] (Released)
Time

I have really enjoyed the 5.1 upmixes of the trilogy you've made hairy hen!  I also really liked the music that was inserted in the Luke & Ben scene on Dagobah.  I was wondering if you made a mix that didn't include this music.  It would be nice to have this too.  I've been trying to get my hands on all of the different mixes out there, so I was wondering if you made a 5.1 mix without.  If you did, where could I find it?  If it's not any trouble you could PM me the audio.  Anyway, keep up the good work!

Star Wars OT & 1997 Special Edition - Various Projects Info (Released)

It can be done, but it is all done by watching VERY closely and playing around with the time adjustment.  Sometimes you have to do it in parts and then combine them back.  It's a total pain in the ass at times!  Especially when the sync is WAY off!  It took me a good while to get the knack of all this with Video Redo (it's not very user friendly)  I'm good at it now.  It just took playing around and experimenting with it a lot.  I'm sorry if this isn't a solution for you, just thought I would suggest it.  I understand your frustration!  I obtained the 1985 ANH laserdisc audio from Chainsawash on here a couple of years ago that wasn't synced, and it was when I first started using Video Redo.  I thought I would never get it straight!  I eventually did though.  Again, sorry if this isn't a viable option for you.  Good luck with all of it, I look forward to seeing (and hearing) the fruits of your labor!

Well, I've synced certain mixes of tracks to movies with Video Redo this way: I would dvd shrink the dvd and uncheck the audio part.  (I then have a silent movie file.)  I would then use Convertxtodvd and take the silent movie file and add the audio file to it then convert.  After this, I would open this new file with Video Redo and sync the audio to the video.  This can be a VERY painstaking process at times!  I've become rather good at it lately.  Anyway, after you're done, Video Redo will make this into a VOB file.  Then you can convert this to DVD with ConvertXtoDVD.  I know I'm probably taking a long route by doing things this way, but it works for me.  I'm not an expert at video the way a lot of guys at this site are.  (I tip my hat to them!  Believe me!) 

I hope all of this made some kind of sense to you!  Like I said, it works for me but I'm no expert!

I'm glad you enjoyed it!  And that the edits appeared to be seamless.  Out of curiosity, did you play the stereo version or the 5.1?

For Empire and Jedi, they'll be available as a bonus, if you will, to go along with this version.  They won't be the 70mm mixes, but they will be 5.1 and have similar dynamics, sound quality, and LFE support.  I just got what I needed to get to work on Empire, and Jedi is already done.  Look for all three on dark_jedi's upcoming G-Force based encodes.  ;)

I played the 5.1 version.

Can't wait to grab these when they're done!  [DELETED]  Can't wait to get the '80 & '83 stereo mixes for Empire & Jedi!  While I'm thinking about it, has anyone tried using Video Redo for syncing the various mixes to these movies?  I've used it with great results!  (to me anyway)  Just a thought.

Help: looking for... a quality preservation of Star Wars : A New Hope - 1985
Time

I’ve been looking for a download of Star Wars with A New Hope in the title crawl with the 1985 Ben Burtt remix.  I found one, in REALLY crummy quality.  I was wondering if anyone here could PM me a link to a good fan edit that has this.  I hope this isn’t asking for to much.  Thanks in advance!
