I sent you a private message mediamogul.

Good work on gormaanda!

Do you have a link forMediaMogul release please?

May you check your private messages please? I'll send you a few questions to try working on it myself.

Tasjo?

I think we could have 2 versions of SWHS :

- the short cut 72min (as it aired in France)

- the long cut 97min (without any publicities)

We should use :

- WHIO v2 videos (unless a better source comes out)

- setting it to Zion Hybrid colors/luminosity

- sharpening the result to be on par or be better than Zion Hybrid

- making a US/Spain/Rifftrax/French (adding the missing passages in english for the french one) version

- using the HD remade cartoon part

- adding the publicities in bonus or as a third release

- for the dvd menu maybe we could consider meco starwars disco remix which honestly rocks : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWI2mPREHFQ

Then we could add subtitles in english/spanish/french/... for the main one + french on english passages for the long cut

I personnaly think some mkvs would be better nowadays than ISOs but both could be made.

I think we should start doing this without working on the image sharpness first which should be done in last after a "work" release since it'll require quite some try and errors (but it could be done by someone in the mean time.

Sure

@Tasjo : I sent you a private message

My french audio track is different from yours for sure . It's louder and is mono the first few seconds.

Here's my opinion, quality wise

1- Zion Hybrid (good colors, few interferences, pretty sharp)

2- Gormaanda Hybrid (too light, some sharp)

3- WHIO v2 (US / FR) (little to no interferences)

4- WHIO v1 sharpened

5- WHIO v1 remastered (bad deinterlacing)

6- KCCI Angrysun (too dark and some interferences)

7- TF1 (high resolution but very blurry)

In the end I think the highest quality may be attained by :

- using WHIO v2 videos

- setting it to Zion Hybrid colors/luminosity

- sharpening the result to be on par or be better than Zion Hybrid

- making a US/Spain/Rifftrax/French (adding the missing passages in english for the french one) version

- using the HD cartoon part that was remade

Well he says "This footage is taken from a VHS digitization of the original 1978 infamous Christmas Holiday Special of the Star Wars franchise. In my own innovative fashion, I've upscaled the first couple of minutes in full 1080p High Definition. (1440x1080 pixels from the original 720x540 copy.)

If this video becomes popular, and if high demand presents itself, I will fully remaster all of the two hour Holiday Special and debut it to the world."

So I guess he just picked up one of the myspleen available SWHS rip and upscaled it... So it's not a brand new source :/

Trying to determine in my point of view which version is the best comparing :

- KCCI Angrysun

- WHIO v1

- WHIO v1 sharpened

- WHIO v2 (US / FR)

- Zion Hybrid

- Gormaanda Hybrid

- TF1

Ok so I just have to wait for someone to send me a myspleen invite then.

PS : I posted an invite request here and on the myspleen forum.

Does the v2 include the french audio track ?

Can anyone send me an invite for myspeen please?

What about the 1080p version previewed on Youtube here?
