***The "SPIDER" Trilogy DVD Info and Feedback Thread***
Time
Interesting rnranimal, may I enquire as to which DV capture device/card you used?

I have used a ADVC 300 with the french pal discs and have been fairly pleased with the test output, when I'm back in work on thursday(I don't have the connection for this at home) I will try to upload the sample mpeg so everyone can provide feedback if they wish.

Well, Friday Night I'm going to play around with capturing some frames of the SW LD. Media 100 has a 16x9 option. I'm going to give it a try.

Has anyone used Cleaner for ITVC. I saw this mentioned somewhere. We have it but I've never looked at it for these purposes before (as all we normally do is NTSC video at work)?


Yeh I have used cleaner version 6.01 they call it intelecine it does a good job, check page 69 of the manual, the only problem with cleaner is that its so s-l-o-w to encode mpeg2 it takes three times as long as Compressor or Bit Vice and the quality is much worse IMHO.

.: The Zion DVD Project :. (Released)
Time
I have the CLD 2950 and also have disabled the HQ circuit when capturing I found that letting the ADVC 300 do the NR makes a much better job, I think the only difference between the two players is the ac3 rf output and the digital frame store.

When I manage to get hold of some french thx discs (keep getting sniped dam 56k connection!) I will post some captures.

I do feel a bit lost with all this virtualDub and avisyth talk, is this all PC only software?

And, yes, it's the one I won (it was a second chance offer!). These are pretty rare, and fairly expensive...

I plan on doing my own transfer, but I don't have the video acquisition hardware yet. I'll let you know when I start this project.



Thanks for the link, I could only find the separate set like this here

its the french soundtrack version I think


At the moment for capture I'm using a Canopus ADVC 300 which does a superb job although its a little expensive .

I know for sure that the 1995 THX LDs of SW OT were released in Germany and France


I've bought the french 1995 THX LDs off eBay in the past weeks. Two different releases exists: one with the french soundtrack, and a box set with the original english soundtrack and french subtitles. (I've bought both of them!)

I've bought a fairly decent player too (Pioneer CLD-D925), that I have just received this morning. So I checked the french subtilted english LDs... (drum roll) They have the english text crawl (and end credits), and the subtiltes are (always) in the bottom black bar!!! So there is an english PAL LD of the Star Wars Trilogy.


Good news for us PAL people, I have been looking for a german/french set also, could you do me a favour and mail me some package shots of the french version with english soundtrack if possible so I know what to look for superfly74_uk AT Yahoo DOT com


The cld-925 was the flagship pal player you should get a good output from that.

Using the '04 SE DVD version to restore the Original (with lots of info)
Time
Yeh..the old emperor rules, he/she makes a comeback in my edit courtesy of the 97 LDs.

Bring my shuttle is cool much better than the waffle "Alert my star destroyer and prepare my pipe and slippers or whatever"

Thats the beauty of this project everyone can have his or her own custom edit with 0-100% of SE content left in or taken out, taken out in IMHO
