Well is there any chance you could re-capture the Japanese SWE1 LD with much higher bitrate ? And maybe cutting the black bars from the top and the bottom so that more bitrate can be used for the video ?

i have the originals as mpgs, in high bitrates.

which are 9 gigs total.

but my upload speed is very slow. it took several

hours for each avi file to upload. sorry.

ok, finished checking out the CAV

uncompressed LD, they were fine.

no glitches or problems.

now finalizing the CLV versions.

these ARE time compressed.

so far these match the CED

fullscreen versions. but with

better quality.

will post some comparisons shortly.

here is a preview of sides 1-5 of

the empire strikes back Fullscreen CAV

laserdisc (i haven't checked, but the CLV

should be the same, but most likely time

compressed)..

sides 1-2

===============================

sides 3-4

============================

side 5

========================

i'm converting the other two sides, and will resize them to

the standard 720x480 and post more screenshots..

thanks to none,

the OT trilogy preservation on CED

is now on alt.binaries.starwars

for those that use newsgroups..

if someone wants to put them

up on myspleen and demonoid,

that would cover the torrent sites.

anyone interested in checking out

'the phantom menace' Laserdisc preservation,

pm me... links are up and ready to go..

later

-1

ok, all the files have been uploaded,

and are ready to go..

pm me if you are interested in

getting them..

feel free to share,

and LEAVE COMMENTS.

enjoy!

ok, i've watched all the parts..

went back and re-encoded part 2,

because the file size looked wrong,

and the compression wasn't right.

remuxed with a better quality sound file,

and added borders to make it 720x480 

like the other two files..

should do one more check, and then i'll

upload it..

Well, I'm STILL interested :-)

someone needs to compare this with the bluray to see if there

is a difference in the framing.. (not the cgi stuff)..

Ep 1: Pretty even,

Not possible. Despite the DNR on many shots, the Blu-ray version of TPM is miles better than the DVD (which while great for it's time, it's the worst transfers of the saga we have on DVD). Not to mention that we get the full frame for the first time on an home video format.

 i'm posting the preservation of the japanese LD here:

======================================

http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Prequel-Bootlegs/topic/6996/

i haven't done a comparison yet.. but if you want the

original version without the cgi added, this might be it.

thanks frank678 for the comments..

i'm not up on color theory much.. go figure..

i'll post the rest of the laserdisc fullscreen

versions if you guys want those also..

i have CLV and CAV transfers for the empire

strikes back.. i figure they are identical.. but if

there are glitches, i can combine them to make

a good version.. i can't remember if 'return of the

jedi' is time compressed or not.. it might not be.

later

ok, the files are now uploaded

to multiple servers. please try

those if you had an issue before.

i have resent pm's to those that

requested it.

i'm uploading the files to another server,

so hopefully you won't have issues with

the ones i use. i'll let you know again

when they are ready.
