I don’t know if Team Negative 1 has a print of the special edition theatrical already, but there is a full 7-reel print of Return of the Jedi SE (1997) on a well-known auction site, ending in less than 2 days.
Episode 1 complete in 35mm is available on the popular auction site.
Just FYI, some time in the last 24 hours Netflix has partially yanked the 2006 GOUT discs from their DVD service. They have been pulled from my queue and no longer show up in searches. The pages are still live but can’t be used to add the discs.
I concur on the checksums. With ~380TB of data, silent data corruption is something to be especially vigilant about. While it may be inconvenient, people should look into using filesystems like ZFS with end-to-end checksumming, error-correcting memory, proper shielding, as well as stress-testing their (non-overclocked) systems periodically to keep silent data corruption to a minimum. Hard drives can also be stress tested before holding actual data using utilities such as badblocks.
Film, tapes, laserdiscs, and players don’t last forever; eventually the digitized copy will be the better one in comparison and so data integrity is very important going into the future.
For those of you buying hard drives to donate, consider looking up some reliability stats. Of course backups are still important, but the data has to exist long enough to be backed up in the first place. Odd that the Seagate 5TB are so bad considering how they improved from 3TB to 4TB.
With the manufacturing consolidation that’s been going on since the flooding in 2011, it’s worth looking back now and then to see what’s changed in the industry.
Group buy/discount anyone?
They'd just need to make a limited time coupon code for OT members. 5 copies at $10 would make them more than 1 at $40.
If you can get the music in isolation from other sources, REMIXAVIER may be of use:
The Remixavier ("remix savior") project is concerned with recovering the "difference" between different mixes of the same track. For instance, given a full mix and an instrumental, we can try to recover the vocals, or given the full mix and an a cappella version, we can try to produce an instrumental version. In the process, we can identify the precise temporal alignment between the two versions, which may be useful in its own right.

Example 1: Significant time skew and channel differenceThis example consists of an original instrumental track, digitized from a vinyl LP release, and a rap that uses the track as backing, taken directly from a CD. Thus, the different signal paths mean that the timing is significantly different (clock drift of 0.1%), and the overall spectrum is very different too.

Could you post the two frames with the burn marks on the Tantive IV?

Brothers, can you spare a checksum?
I downloaded it twice and the two files were identical, but it won't even play in VLC.

Do these checksums differ from the file any of you may still have?
