To anyone who can direct me,

I just got my invite to MySpleen and was able to download njvc’s blu-ray isos (disc #1) of the 3 films. But I can’t find the special features (disc #2) or bonus documentaries (disc #4) for each movie. Where can I look to complete my sets? Incredible work btw, njvc!

Thanks for the help!

Why is that? What is wrong with those? From what I've seen, they're thin on features but I'd say they're built more like a tank than the consumer models, wouldn't you say?

To laserman,

Wow, thanks for the info! That means you only need to use up about 15 DVDs just to backup your master file!

About those Pioneer players with RGB output, can you give me any specific models? Are they part of the Industrial V-series?

Thanks again!

To Laserman,

What kind/brand of laserdisc player were you talking about for it to be able to output in RGB 4:4:4? All laserdisc players I looked at have only composite or S-Video outputs. Even the allmighty Pioneer HLD-X9 doesn't have anything better than S-Video.

How big your 'digital master' would be using that capture method? Would it be uncompressed or could it be compressed with a lossless codec for a smaller size?

Nobody else but you at the moment have the means to make that kind of quality output. I'd love to fiddle with that kind of equipment. Your OT DVDs will certainly be made of the best source available!

lasysean,

A little off topic here, but what brand of television set do you have? Sony or JVC? I'm looking at a 27" set with the "widescreen" compression option and only Sony or JVC have that. From the reviews available on the Internet, JVC is cheaper and better quality since Sony builds its TV's in Mexico. If you get a chance, let me know!

Originally posted by: Patrick R.I also know of the missing C3PO line. That line is missing on my LD's, but it doesn't concern me as it is not in many versions of the film. IIRC, that line is not in the original 1977 version of the film.

Patrick,

I think you're wrong. That line existed on the first versions of LD and VHS (as in the original movie). It was the only way for Ben (Obi-Wan) to know how to shut down the force field. The line was put back in the SE versions and, I believe, in the Faces LD and VHS (1997).

IMO, the best bootlegs have not been made yet. They would be anamorphic, on two discs (or one dual layer disc) and transfered from the Faces LD's. From memory, I think the Faces LD's are the same quality than the Definitive Collection LD's but are CLV instead of CAV and have less extras (if any). But Faces is not missing any lines of dialog or the welding scene in TESB.

True, but most of the times those are rejects from the brand names. So who knows what's wrong with them! Is it significant enough not to buy them? For my peace of mind, I think so.

But we're getting off topic here so let's talk again about this in 50 years to see if our grandchildren will still be able to watch Star Wars from the same discs! Betcha the forum will still be active due to the fact that the OT will still not be available on DVD's!

digitalfreaknyc is right! Buying "El Cheapo" discs to save a few bucks is one thing. But for archiving purposes it's definitely worth it to pay extra for the quality a good brand name will provide. You want your movies to last forever, so stick to tried and tested brands. Personally, I swear only by Verbatim. Excellent lifetime durability and not expensive at all but still more expensive than the "no label" type. Believe me, it's worth it!

That means...you send me 4 blank DVD-R disc plus a postage paid package for the blank DVDr's to be sent back to you. I'll burn them and put them into the package and just drop them in the nearest box. It's the least I could do for the fans who really want it. I wouldn't want to make any money off of this.

digitalfreaknyc,
Any ideas which brand of DVD-R discs work well with your burner and most living room players? I was thinking of sending you some of those nice looking Verbatim discs that look like actual movie reels. Real cool! Let me know when you're ready to burn all 4 DVD-R's. I'll send mine asap. Do you have a problem shipping to Canada like TR47 does?

To digitalfreaknyc,

Were your torrent files downloaded from torrentz.com that just went down a few days ago. It went down before I had a chance to download the torrent files for all three OT LD rips. I'd be interested in getting those torrents anyway if you still have them.

I found some more torrents but haven't tried them yet. I don't know if they're the same ones you've got. I'll gladly send them to you. For me to be able to PM you, you've got to allow PM's in your profile first (the padlock icon).

Cosmo,

I don't feel threatened buying a bootleg copy on DVD since I already own the 1995 WS "Faces" OT and the 1997 WS SE on VHS. The DVD would only serve as a backup. Under the copyright law, I believe you have the right to make a backup copy of a movie/song/software/etc. for your own use, given you (legally) bought that movie/song/software/etc. in the first place. I just don't have the time or the resources to make my own backup copies. so I'm looking to buy... or trade.

Hey, that's an idea! I've got some Hamilton Collection Star Wars/Star Trek plates and some other stuff I could trade for both DVD sets. Set your browser to my personal page and take a look. Don't mind the prices. This was done a long time ago when the Canadian dollar was low(er). Anybody interested in trading can contact me. That should keep things nice and legal.

Luke,

I live in Montreal, Quebec. From experience, it doesn't cost a lot more to ship something here via USPS Air Mail for example. Thanks for offering.

Oh... and I forgot,

Anybody got a good DVD copy (anamorphic WS, of course) of the original SE trilogy (apart from the chinese bootlegs)? IMO, they're going to be as important to collectors/fans as the OT is since the official new SE trilogy release will be as different from OSE than OSE was compared to OT. So, as a fan and movie collector, I'd like to own a good copy of the OSE trilogy on DVD before GL reshapes it to something different.

To anyone in the US or Canada,

I'm interested in getting both the TR47 set and the one with the commentaries. Anybody would be interested in selling me copies of each on good quality DVD-R media? I live in Canada. TR47 doesn't ship outside the US. How much is his set, anyway? He didn't tell me! Anyone?

Thank you.

Gents,

Prepare yourselves to hunt down (or create) the ultimate SE DVD bootlegs as well (as for the OT)because the SE DVDs that are coming out on 09/21 won't be quite the same as the "original" SE movies either. I guess now we'll have OT, OSE and SE versions to sort through. Just take a look at the link here for starters. For all of you who hated the SE movies, wait 'til George messes them up some more!

TR47, here's work for you!
