What if an account was set up with a public password.
and the official:http://www.supershadow.com/starwars/dvd.html
Supershadow's track record is no where close to official.
Returning to this idea again, have used the playlist option on multiple DVDs since this thread and no one's said anything, so guessing they've worked.
Am now considering a project which follows more of the Seamless Branching Multi-Angle mentioned by DVD-BOY. The DVD format is a fall back position, but as there are all these other formats/containers gaining popularity, looking to understand if any of them should be considered. MP4 and MKV or AVCHD?
The idea is to have two audio and two video streams, randomly chosen, but swappable on the fly. Hoping that two streams of upconverted LD rip (720x576) to 1280x544ish will fit in the bit rate space of a DVD9. or whatever format can be figured out.

Much of this is nitpicky and about consistency, nothing is super crucial.
On the comparison gallery, why did you give the 2011 the prime upper left spot? If you want to showcase your contribution a little more could on future iterations switch to a layout where the new version is v2.1 full size, and the other (three) references are smaller and underneath in a row. But understand the idea of giving each release the same resolution/real estate.
In the bottom line, at first 'Remastered' didn't mean anything to me until I saw it as well next to the V2.1 pic. If it's easy, whenever you use 'Remastered' add v2.1 next to it.
The descriptions of the four pics gets lost at times. Maybe a harder drop shadow? or a transparent background box. (can continue the blue theme) Also (2004 master) vs (1993 Master) capitalize or uncapitalize.
00.15 : "and now recedes at the correct speed.a" [add 'the', remove 'a']
In the whole shot, the HD background starfield is a combination of an enhanced BluRay starfield and a 35mm frame scan, because in the SE the starfield was shifted up. Slight gate weave was also added to all elements. [seems wordy how about]
The background starfield is a combination of a BluRay starfield and a 35mm frame scan. The starfield was returned to it's 1977 location. Gate weave was added to unify all elements.
Under Sources you mention the 35mm frame scan, and in the description is mentioned the 2011. Is the 'Sources' category suppose to list everything or only the additional material past the 2011. If that's the case maybe call it 'Additional Sources'. The 2006 is just as official as the 2011, i'd cut the 'official' word.
00.44 : D_J's version is mentioned in the description but not in the Sources.
The description is tight to the lower left, can expand the text window to fill the box on the right side.
00.52 : Dark_Jedi's 720p upscale
01.44 : DJ's GOUT DVD.
Work out a consistent naming system or have the first one be as descriptive as possible and in (shorted name) there after. But you'll never know who will use what images so the full name might be good to use at all times. I noticed you don't call the 2006, GOUT in the Sources, will GOUT only be used when talking about DJ's release?
There are Source variations to the names:
02.27 : HDTV 2004 SE
02.45 : HDTV 04 SE
I'd lean towards a standardization of Movie:Release Type:Year:Format:Release Group
so SW SE 2011 BluRay, SW SE 2004 HDTV, SW 2006 DVD, SW SE 1997 Reivax, SW 35mm Frame (or Film) scan, SW 1993 LD Japanese, SW 16mm Puggo Grande

Would be interested in hearing more about this process. And what changes do you remember being made, between showings, that night.
The pictures/video of that night have become significant reference material for everyone round here, so learning what they lack or what they got right would also be great to hear.
thanks for stopping by.

And many of us don't have a clue and are not privy to that info, so all you insiders reading, write down your story for posterity. and dump it into the public domain when you are ready. Get together, write a book.

Is there any chance of de-coding the DTS Time Code (the dot/dash Morse code-like patterns next to the sound track wave forms) in the pics Brooks provided? So one of those frames can be matched up to the DTS CD-ROM.

Follow along the path myscamore's already gone thru, provided are spreadsheets which have the shot counts for some of the SWSEs. The process starts with Lee Thorogood's. Compared to that release are TB, Flunk.iso, G'Kar and the 2004. The public version can be edited by anyone. Besides the opening and end credits, Lee's and the 2004 seem like a lock. The other three have issues here and there.

There is about a 50/50 split between people twitter posting the two main DeSpecialized articles, one the screened.com from 2011.09 [v1.0] and the recent tested.com v2.0. Pegg mentioned that all three movies were out there, so if people look for the three they'll be lead towards v1.0. But people posting to this thread is increasing.

it was playing at the baseball game I was at today, and it fit just too nicely. Plus as it's now 2012, the song is late as well.

"I will not condone a course of action which will lead us to war." But it is interesting seeing where SW goes, culturally.
Catnap and Puggo Grande (until proven otherwise) appear to be the same, a 16mm capture. [and there's also the theory that they are the same print, captured years apart]
This is part of the Spielberg contribution: http://www.geocities.ws/mrghoul_01/utapauchase.html Part of this is in the 2011 set. Little over the top...
^ That fits. semi close to Jaws as well?
fudge, I forgot to write it down, now i'm blanking but at C6, Ben Burtt mentioned the track which was thought of for the Cantina music. The title has two repeated words in it. Probably by Benny Goodman as alluded to in this article:
http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/features/williams.asp
CB: A lot of people have said that their favorite scene is the cantina scene in the first film. And they often speak of the music.
JW: The cantina music is an anomaly, it sticks out entirely as an unrelated rib to the score. There's a nice little story if you haven't heard this, I'll tell you briefly: When I looked at that scene there wasn't any music in it and these little creatures were jumping up and down playing instruments and I didn't have any idea what the sound should be. It could have been anything: electronic music, futuristic music, tribal music, whatever you like.
And I said to George, "What do you think we should do?" And George said, "I don't know" and sort of scratched his head. He said, "Well I have an idea. What if these little creatures on this planet way out someplace, came upon a rock and they lifted up the rock and underneath was sheet music from Benny Goodman's great swing band of the 1930s on planet Earth? And they looked at this music and they kind of deciphered it, but they didn't know quite how it should go, but they tried. And, uh, why don't you try doing that? What would these space creatures, what would their imitation of Benny Goodman sound like?"
So, I kind of giggled and I went to the piano and began writing the silliest little series of old-time swing band licks, kind of a little off and a little wrong and not quite matching. We recorded that and everyone seemed to love it. We didn't have electronic instruments exactly in that period very much. They're all little Trinidad steel drums and out- of-tuned kazoos and little reed instruments, you know. It was all done acoustically—it wasn't an electronic preparation as it probably would have been done today.
I think that may be also part of its success, because being acoustic it meant people had to blow the notes and make all the sounds, a little out of tune and a little behind there, a little ahead there: it had all the foibles of a not-very- good human performance.
Seems this is a repeatable spamming method: (from 2011.09)
