Great stuff, Rikter

Will look forward to getting my hands on them - nice one.

Hope it goes easy for you doing up your new house, I remember what a pain in the ass it was to do mine - and the amount of money spent on it too

Rikter - A cheeky question...

Will you be placing your 4 new Japanese Styled Special Collection DVD Covers for download in the near future?

Cheers for the info Laserman.

I had no idea that Laserdiscs rot - I assumed they'd be similar to DVDs in that you get a few 1000 times play out of them. Best of luck with the archiving.

A seemingly great idea that you technically minded ppl are doing - the 4:4:4 transfer etc, tho I have question:-

Just how much better in picture and sound quality will this version be - say compared to DigitalFreakNYC or TR47's versions? Will the average Joe (me) be able to easily tell the difference in quality? (if this version will be 'available' to people here)...

Top covers there Rikter - most impressive, and they'll fit nicely with my anamorphic dvds too!

Nice one and thank you

IIRC there is usually a 4% time difference in total length of a film being shown between PAL and NTSC - deosn't seem a great deal to me - tho I havn't got the eye or ear for noticing such things.

Great inserts there DonnieDarko - very much appreciated - I don't want to come across as a tosser, tho I did notice a few errors in the text:-

Ep4 - 20. 'Obi Wan's Home' isn't in capital letters
Ep4 - 61. 'What gooo's a...' (good?)

Ep5 - 16. 'Be careful. You to' (too?)
Ep5 - 30. 'I'm sure it's perfectly safe for driods' (droids?)
Ep5 - 34. 'Well ofcourse I'll... (of course?)
Ep5 - 35. 'My hands are dirty to' (too?)
Ep5 - 48. 'Im' tryin to reach...' (trying or tryin'?)
Ep5 - 61. 'I had no choice. I'm tryin to help' (trying or tryin'?)

Ep6 - 12. 'Leia free's Han from...' (frees?)

Nice idea Laserman.

Try dropping a line to DigitalFreakNYC at DigitalFreakNYC@aol.com to get hold of a copy of the OT on DVD

I received my DVDs through the post today (didn't realise it was so quick to post stuff from the USA to the UK) - was really impressed with the picture and sound quality of all the 3 films and the bonus disc has some great intriguing pieces on it too.

Some fantastic work and many thanks to DigitalFreakNYC - unlike many others I havn't paid through the nose like on ebay and other similar offers - great stuff that a fellow SW fan has made a concious effort NOT to profit at the expense of other fans.

Well worth getting.

Echo3 - in your opinion how do the 2 different versions rate?

Are both good solid copies, or is there one that is 'better'?

digitalfreaknyc -

That's a great service you were offering and puts the skanks who make a load of £££'s on ebay for inferior dodgy discs to shame.

They should be the ones threatened with lawsuits and all.

Don't let the bastards get you down, m8.

Work in progress, rough-cuts, unfinished work etc and other 'reasons' for the changes over the years...

Why didn't he say at the time (and every time) this version is not the finished one - there's gonna be another (and another)and you lot are going to have to pay for it if you want it?

I wouldn't have bought a picture off an artist if he was later going to tell me it's not finished, he's going to come around in a couple of years time and re-do it a bit - and charge me for it.

Hi All.

Great site and forums you have here.

Have 'ordered' the SW preSE OT DVDs (a mouthful) earlier today from 'digitalfreaknyc'.

Eagerly looking forward to watching them.
