Hm, instead of saying "sorry for NOT releasing the theatrical versions of the movies as would be perfectly logical as expected by thousands of fans" they say that they DID something ?
Who cares about events, collectibles, and tributes to that far-away galaxy drawing the attentions of fans ? I want to watch these movies on my DVD player !
Unless this big thing is a box set containing all 6 movies in their theatrical versions with all deleted scenes, I'm not interested

Different colors in AVI and MPG

Hello,
I have a problem.
I am currently working on an Episode IV restoration project and I was "recoloring" the whole Tantive 4 sequence. After I've achieved that 3PO is gold, stormtroopers are grey and the walls are white, I have exported it (from VirtualDubMod) as uncompressed AVI file.
Then I did put this AVI into good old CCE and created an mpg2 file. The problem is that while the AVI file looks exactly as planned, the resulting mpg has completely different colors (for example the walls are light grey) and is much darker.
I think the problem is that the AVI is RGB24 and the mpg is YV12, but I have absolutely no idea what to do with it

There's nothing like ANH in my world I simply call the movie Star Wars.

The current status -
Episode 1 - done, but it's a combination of the official DVD and a DivX of the theatrical version, so the source changes are terribly visible. I'm currently working on "smoothing" the source changes.
Episode 2 - I think it's done, simply because I can't find a better source for the theatrical version.
Clone Wars - I have edited the 2 official DVDs together to make one movie, I plan to add there the title crawl from ADigitalMan's edit to make it more "complete".
Episode 3 - done, but the re-created transition in the only changed scene is kind of "jerky", I'm seriuosly thinking about redoing it once more.
Star Wars - done, it has all 5 existing sound mixes, but I have realised 2 things - the special edition changed the sky behind 3PO when he's aruing with R2 in the desert, so I have to change it back, and the restored mono mix is available, so I'm currently working on a new version. But I have a big problem, the Tantive 4 sequence. I have "recolored it" to be more stable and have correct colors, the uncompressed AVI looks perfect, but the resulting m2v has much worse colors. I plan to put some screenshots to the technical forum.
Episode 5 - the video track is ready.
Episode 6 - nothing yet
Bonus discs - only to SW (deleted scenes, holiday special and Making Of), I'm still searching for some unreleased prequel documentaries (I have absolutely nothing)
