You're right. The squeaky wheel gets the oil. :-)

There never would have been a Donner Cut of Superman II if the fans had kept quiet.

 is that true? i read up on the history of it, and Donner didn't want anything to do it for quite

some time ......

=>In May 2001, he told the website IGN, "At the time, the studio wanted me to go back in and re-cut the film and add anything I wanted to add or do anything I wanted to do. Quite honestly, I was done with it. I was finished."

and the studio was ready to go on without him anyway,

=>Work finally began on the project in late 2005, though without Richard Donner.

dont you think the studio was committed to doing the project whether the fans wanted it

or not? they were doing restoration on superman, so why not do superman 2 also?

Again, the complaining and the preservation/restoration of the originals are deeply connected. It's a sad fact, but it's true. Without complaining we wouldn't have the GOUT, we wouldn't have had letterboxed laserdiscs and we wouldn't have the vast majority of lesser known movies on dvd at all. It would basically be nothing but American Pie and Scary Movie 4 out there. Seriously. 

 care to offer up any definitive evidence for any of those statements?

look at my sig, look at it very closely, someday it will make sense to  you..

"[no GOUT in HD?->gout stabilize  ->color correction ->upscaling to HD ->GOUT IN HD !]"

I think there's a terminology misunderstanding here.

The GOUT is a term that specifically refers to the non-anamorphic DVD release from '06. There's no way it can be made into hi-def.

Do you mean the OUT or OOT? Those are more general terms for the Original Unaltered Trilogy or Original Original Trilogy and they don't refer to any specific release.

 

 

thank you for actually looking at what i have to say..

if you check out the very first link , it points to a script that can be used to take

the VOB files->mpg from either of the released GOUT DVD's, and using avisynth stabilize

the image, and do all kinds of other clean-up on it ...

the second link points to a color correction script that can be used on the resulting file

to produce better colors..

the final link shows you how to upscale the images from SD-> HD ..

so essentially you CAN upgrade your old versions from DVD -> HD ..

give it a try , you'll be surprised at how good it looks, i sure was..

don't forget , there's plenty of people willing to help you out if you need it..

Negtive1, most of us here don't have skills or time to do restorations of the movies like you do. Even if we do, some of us choose not to aquire the skills to do video editing work. We just want Star Wars to get the restoration respect it deserves. I am greatful that there are a lot of people on this board who have the skills and desire to do the work of preseving and editing the films to their taste. Lucasfilm has all the best resources to do this work so why shouldn't we bitch, especilly when he can do this for profit while we have to do this for free, even though it seems most of you don't want money out of this (even though I think you deserve it).

 i have no idea whether your complimenting this effort or complaining????????

i don't have the skill either..... but why are you even on this board?

this is the OT board dedicated to the preservation of the OT... not the

'lets constantly complain about Lucas, Lucasfilm, and not having the OT' board..

what did you expect to find here?

how much help in getting the OT restored has complaining accomplished????

do you want everybody to sit around, and just complain all the time,

and not do anything at all??? how exciting.....

do you not want to see what happens if we try to restore it???

do you have no interest in learning anything new about film,

video, or technology??????????

look at my sig, look at it very closely, someday it will make sense to  you..

otherwise, i feel very sorry for all the people here, that will never know

the potential that exists on this board, and will constantly wish they had

something better, when the answer was sitting there right in front of them.

Another thing that I wish would be on the DVD set was a behind the scenes look at the restoration of the films. Taking us through a tutorial of the technology and work involved in restoring the films would've been cool.

 one of the james bond dvd remasters has this.. i don't know which one

though..

and you might need a rapidshare account to download all the files, otherwise you will have to wait a long time for each file..

Ohhhh, I dunno about that anymore. I don't have an account and the longest I have to wait between files is around 80 seconds. (80 sec. for 200MB chunks, 50 sec. for 100MB chunks)

I don't know why it's like that, but I'm pretty happy about it. I guess they changed policies or something. During the day, the speed is kinda slow (50-70kbps; 100MB takes around 20-30 min.), but at night, it's much faster. (220-250kbps; 100MB takes around 7-8 min.) If you have time to 'babysit' the downloads, you can get a ton in a short amount of time. I just got a dual layer DVD in two days this way!

It may be different for different people, of course, but if this is happening for others as well, great! :)

 what i meant is there is a time limit if you have a regular account,

and they give you a quota to download.. so you have to wait x minutes

between downloads if you don't have a premium account..

but yes, they might have changed policies.

Any straight-to-video sequel by Disney cashing in on their classics. Lady and the Tramp, 101 Dalmations, Little Mermaid, Bambi, Cinderella - I mean, how the hell can you justify a sequel to Cinderella?

 because she's hot? ooooops ....i meant, because kids don't really care, and will watch anything?

if you're making suggestions great,

if you're complaining, there are plenty of other threads to do it in:

-

http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Crystall-Skull-has-GLs-fingerprints-all-over-it/topic/9381/page/6/

http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/State-of-the-Trilogy-annual-SW-depression/topic/9317/page/7/

etc..

adwyan, if i'm getting this right:

----------------------------------------

source material (1080p/24fps) -> PAL -> hardware speeds it up imitate 1080p/25fps (no frames added)

source material (1080p/24fps) -> NTSC -> hardware plays it normally at 1080p/24fps

is that right?
