i want to bring this back up,

because at some point this might become a reality..

has anyone thought about this, and what can we do?

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

1) how will the HD versions of the OT be distributed?

2) how do we keep it anonymous?

3) how do we restrict the copy to only people that want it?

4) can we keep it off torrent, filesharing sites?

5) how do we make all the discussion about these topics disappear

once its done, and that way it won't be archived by google?

6) how do we keep any of the information about it, or the people

involved disappear also? [AND NO, I DONT MEAN MAKE THE PEOPLE DISAPPEAR, ha ha]

i'm very serious about this, because we might be facing these issues

in the near future, and i want to be prepared..

please discuss these thoroughly, and bring up other issues,

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

1) if you're thinking we need to move to a private board,

that is definitely going to take place, i'll let you know when it

happens

2) if you're thinking it will be a private release thats fine... but

how do you stop people from leaking copies to the net?

of course, all of this is to avoid 'imperial entanglements'...

so lets start talking about it .. for now..

(and of course,  this discussion will disappear also, once we get some

ideas)...

1 ) about the gophers, that's an awful lot of work  just to remove a few gophers

2) about leds, they're fine for that era, nixies were being used in the late 50's,

and development about leds were around the same time, that's not a problem..

Because we shouldn't have to bootleg?

 boy does this seem like the worst board to be on if you don't bootleg..

did you expect something different when you came here?

i've gotten tons of 'fanedit's  from here, and those are legal if you own the original,

and all those LD remasters are just continuations of the fanedits..... to me..

so i see no problem in getting them for free, along with all the high definition

versions, which no one seems to care about either, and all the other documentaries,

spoofs, and everything else...

i've paid for star wars on about 25 different versions by now, so why can't

i get free versions in HD, or whatever else is out there? since there is no

official HD version, it's not like they're losing any money..

don't you think you've paid for several versions before, and deserve more?

Yeah, most of us don't have laserdisks and LFL shouldn't exxpect us to get our OOT from that format only and not DVD. Lucas even said he was looking forward to the time when all the OOT VHS tapes have deteriorated, I think he forgot about laserdisks. Idiot.

 i'm not blaming you, if you weren't interested in getting a laserdisc player,

maybe you weren't interested in getting high quality video either?

anyways, a decent laserdisc player now, is about as cheap as a cheap dvd player (>$50),

and finding the definitive boxset on laserdisc costs anywhere from $20-$50 depending

on the condition..

The 2004 DVD's are a disappointment to say the least, and the 2006 GOUT discs, while they look 'alright' on a standard 4:3 TV, are an insult not only to the fans but also to the achievements of Lucas himself and ILM.

while they are a disappointment to you, and the tiny majority of people on this board,

they were a huge success in sales for the fans that DID want star wars (SE) on DVD...

when they came out HDTV's weren't that big in sales, and they still aren't, although

they're slowing rising (and in 2009 when the US goes all digital, i'm sure this christmas

will have record sales)...   

so why is it insult? people DID get STAR WARS on DVD, that was the point, to replace

their VHS tapes...

However, my SW prequel DVD's, Willow, and Indiana Jones trilogy all look and sound great. So yeah, I wouldn't say that they simply don't care about about quality.

agreed.

 

However, I would like to hear any excuses that Lucasfilm has as to why the 2004 SE set isn't up to par since, after all, those DVD's are supposed to be the best representation of those films available.  I'm sure SOMEBODY at LFL had to have noticed that something wasn't quite right. I was excited when I heard that it was being restored, and that some of the SE additions (like that funky 1997 CG Jabba) were being redone or tweaked, but now I wish they would have just released the 97 SE masters as they were and just left everything alone.

but why should they give out any excuses.... what would be the point?

i had them all on laserdisc, and since those were the best quality at the time, i didn't notice

any difference on the dvds, which were the same quality, so what was there to complain about?

the definite boxset laserdisc, the japanese pressings were all excellent quality..

and if you were on this board, and had been keeping up with all the excellent laserdisc

transfers (and some are still going on)... you would have already had the OT on DVD

several times over... for free.... way before the official dvd's came out..

i'm sure a lot of people are watching their own custom LD transfers compared to the DVD's ,

so why keep arguing about something you already (should) have?

I really like this thread, and it seems to be crying out for a fan-edit. Maybe things we don't see will strengthen this sequence a little bit.

 i know it is different, but you mean like this?

Because George and Lucasfilm don't care about putting out a quality product anymore, how hard is that to figure out look at the 2006 gout biggest insult and joke in cinema history.

That is how George Rewards the millions of fans who made him a very rich man.

 i've just gotten a ton of versions of the PT on DVD, and they seem quality to me

(not the quality of the movies) , the actual documentaries, video quality, and

included material..

i think all the people that got those, would think so to...

the young indiana jones boxsets on DVD are amazing, and the new indiana

jones remasters are good too.. and if INDY 4 is coming out on bluray, i think

it would do really well too..

so what do mean that they don't care about quality anymore????

if you mean that there was only 1 product, the SE DVD's that weren't quality

then you might have a point, everything else they've put out has been fine..

and excellent quality..

Did you try the analog tv signal option and try to tune to the signal?
It should have it's own channel somewhere?

 no, hmm.... i don't think it had the option... well its a moot point anyways,

since i found a vcr..

ok,

i found a vcr, that someone was getting rid of, for free..

went home, hooked it up, figured out something about switching to

to channel 4... and it works,we have video...

i can't get any sound out though..

will post some samples (they are very poor quality, with stuttering, dropouts, etc)..

EPIV will be going up in the next few hours. here's a sample to tide you over. I haven't included the commentaries on the sample but you will be able to get an idea of the new sound mix

EpIV 1080p sample

you can just stick it on a memory stick or external hard drive and play it on the PS3

 thanks adywan,

looks and sounds awesome...

i find it fitting that you chose the section that i've been going over all the

frames with manually....(well ok, not the SE ones)..

can't wait until the full version is here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i hope you got the link to the uncorrected scans i posted..i sent you a pm..
