Hey HewittYoda did you take any pictures? And welcome to the forums.

Always wanted to throw an outdoor show too but to be honest the weather here in the UK cannot be trusted to stay nice enough long enough for me to risk my av stuff.

Hey Zombie, I know your a busy man but I dont think I'm the only one looking forward to this.

Any news on your edit?

Yeah I agree, to which system you go for has a lot to do with the space you have around your seating area. The closer to the screen and the speakers the worse it looks and sounds. I used to fit av systems for a living. The 110" screen I use is the biggest I'll have in my front room. In the past I had bigger and it gives you the feeling of sitting on the front row of the cinema you just cant take the whole picture in. And with the speakers if your too close you hear the speakers if you know what I mean, I feel you shouldn't be able to pinpoint were each sound is coming from it should float around you. In my 6.1 system I do have the middle center speaker directly behind me but I have it's volume set very low so it blends better with the rears.  It really can make you feel like there's a vastness to the space behind you. Lord of the Rings comes to mind as you do actually hear more with than without.

With the 4K I've read it can look like you looking through a window but only with native 4k material otherwise there seams not be not much of a difference between that and 1080p. But I haven't had the pleasure of seeing one yet.

Wow. Even from these captures you can tell there's a difference from what were used too. The colours look great.

My projector is a bit old now, but at the time it was one hell of a bargain for a 1080p projector. It still looks damn good but DLP would be sweet.

Want a full hd 3d dlp next, some of them are supposed to be amazing.

Oh and frink and my dick's quite average but my balls are huge!

^Nah my projectors well better! Want your R2 unit though.

I watch movies including the latest offerings from our friends Harmy and Puggo and others in our living room on my ceiling mounted Optoma HD200x full hd 1080p dlp front projector projecting onto a 110" Drapa luma manual pull down 16:9 screen which sits approx 4m from our sofa.

The picture is fed from either my Compaq Presario cq61 laptop (hdmi) or my Panasonic dmp-bd35 blu ray player (best for blu ray/avchd) and for standard def dvd i upscale with my Panasonic dmr-ez27 dvd player which upscaling abilities are better than the blu ray player, all traveling up a 1.4 hdmi cable to the projector.

My sound comes digitally from my players via an optical cable into a Panasonic sa-xr25 fully digital 6.1 DD EX, DTS ES surround amp which gives out 50w per channel into wharfdale cube speakers and an Eltax atomic 8 100w powered subwoofer which sits to the left of the sofa. We watch regular tv on a Panasonic 37" viera plasma.

All my stuff is bought over time from fleabay. I regularly change my set up when finances allow.

For me front projectors are the only way to truly watch a movie.

Got the new upload, only took 2.5 hrs! Will keep seeding as long as needs be.

Thanks to all those naughty sharing types.

And once again a massive thank you to Puggo, Jaxxon and co. for all your hard work on these preservation's, you creative and generous people on this site are keeping the real Star Wars trilogy alive for many generations to come.

One last thank you to George Lucas and his crew with out whom we wouldn't have these great movies to begin with.

Now whens "Return of the Puggo" ready? :-)

^I was saying all that in a Hulk voice.

Downloaded the the first upload last night, come to open the zip file this morning(Im in the UK) and nothing will open it! Aaahhhh! Must watch, must watch, must watch! Started to download the new file, will keep the seeding going once done. Lpd sad!

Dont know if this should go here, but found it entertaining.

I"m definitely checking them out, I just didn't want to keep posting the same OMG THATS AWESOME over and over again.

^Exactly. My major thoughts when watching these is that with all their flaws and imperfections its nice to see it looking like film again. As with puggo's preservations its very nostalgic to see film like contrast and depth to the picture.

How much smoother, jumpy wise are the further corrections Neg?

Is avchd on spleen? Cant seem to see it.

I've said it before, I'll say it again, I want me some of that!

I think chaps (and chapesses) if you feel so concerned with this "blown out" scene, get yourself an editing program, colour and light the scene the way you would like it and then watch your own version. I think your all forgetting this is an edit by a person (not a company) who has spent many hours getting it the way he feels is close to the original cut and look of this beloved movie and then he has gladly shared his work with us all. We've got to remember their were thousands of different prints of this movie shown on thousands of different projectors and it being on actual film no two prints were ever going to be exactly alike especially colour wise .

I think really if its not to your liking, dont watch it. Watch the official release instead.

Phew! I feel better now.

Now I just have to make sure that it doesn't accidentally get into the hands of those nefarious sharers!

Yes those sharers how very dare they!

Nice one Puggo

TRACK 1) 5.1 70mm mix @ 448Kbps 

The 640 version was affected also, I think, but to a much lesser extent.  I'm just going to redo them both.  For this reason, I'd request that nobody make a torrent of this or anything until I can get the corrected tracks uploaded.  The DVD5 is also affected, though that's already been out.

Really sorry about this, guys.

So I wasn't dreaming then?

Maybe I should hold off on any upload until the fix comes out for the 448kbps version...the AVCHD people shouldn't be deprived. They're the people least likely to want to deal with muxing and such. Thanks for the update, hairy! Sorry it didn't work out but we all appreciate having the film in hand a few weeks earlier and understand the pressure to get this done

Yeah second that, Thanks chaps.

The Puggo trilogy is one step closer!

Have you solved your dvd authoring woes?

well, you can be excited.

 

but hold off with the fireworks and praise,

until you actually see something, or have it.

 

it's better to remain skeptical until

proven otherwise. (x0, x9, v8, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc)

 

mark my words.

Neg, your cryptic clues are a cacophonous conundrum of capaciousness! ;-)

Cant wait to see this on my projector as I feel most blu ray's and dvd's dont look like film, too perfect if there's such a thing.

I've come up with a saying about digitally created sets n stuff, are you ready....

Good Answer Mr. Lucas

Did anyone else notice George has really tiny feet/ shoes, never noticed before.
