I just came from the shop. I went there to buy the new Queen DVD and I suddenly found myself buying the 9BD set for 100 Euros :-(

Found yourself? Did you black out? ;-)

 

I have a serious problem - if the salesperson is a beautiful girl, I switch to a mode, where I say yes to everything :)

Geez, they didn't even include "From Star Wars to Jedi?" That sucks...

I wish they'd finally release the old "Droids" cartoon on DVD or something (the complete and unaltered collection). I loved that series!

You can get it from an "unofficial source" if that's OK for you :)

Thanks, I'll try it that way.

The audio should be slowed down by this

AssumeFPS(23.976, true)

Thanks for your nice words.

For anybody who is still interested, all episodes of the first season of Ewoks are now cleaned up and are waiting only to be authored to DVD . Unfortunately most of the blended frames are still there :-( But it's not THAT bad and as I wrote, this is a "version 1.0"

I have NEVER converted a PAL video to NTSC before. I was thinking about doing it this way :

AssumeFPS(23.976, true)

Lanczos4Resize(720, 480)

ConvertFPS(29.97) # ??? Or what is the best way how to make the video 29.97 fps ?

 

Any tips ? Especially about the last part ? (changing the framerate from 23.976 to 29.97 )

Is it possible you heard the original broadcasts?

 

Nope. I definitely just saw it at my house on some sort of VHS or laserdisc. It is plausible that I could have seen it on some documentary on TV, but it would have to be in the last decade; nothing from the 80's. I do remember the scene looking like that, minus the interjected bit with R2D2 and 3PO; that surprised me.

You are not alone. This is exactly how I remember it from the movie I used to watch as a kid. I also agree with the Droids segment, it does NOT belong there, I think that's just another fuckup - they had this short segment of R2 and 3PO and they wanted to add it somewhere on the BluRay - and they edited it into an incorrect place

To all who bought the blu-ray set : is there any chance that this scene is included ? Either as a deleted scene, or maybe even some photo stills or a part of a "making of" featurette ?

I was talking about the BluRays of course :-)

It would be nice to be a Star Trek fan. Or Lord of the Rings for that matter.

At least the outlook for Indy fans looks good...

Well the TOS boxset(s) is(are) great. Every episode is represented in 2 versions, with the original effects and with the new CG effects, and there is a brand new 7.1 mix created from original elements AND the original mono mix. That would be great for Star Wars too

What ???

TNG on BluRay ???

Where can I find some information about it ?

BTW I hope they use the old special effects, the models look much more real then the crappy CGI from Voyager. (The funny thing is that the DS9 CG effects lokk MUCH better).

Are you sure the DS9 tribble episode was upscaled ? Well the special effects scenes definitely were (and they look terrible), but I'm not sure about the live-action footage

Hard to say if LAST, but the lightsabre DOES have the correct colour

Very nice colours ! Much better than the washed-out GOUT

I tried SRestore already, it did remove SOME of the blended frames, but definitely not ALL. Not even MOST :-(

And yes, I'm talking about the EWOKS PAL tapes

Would somebody help me getting this one please ? I'm not a newsgroups user unfortunately :-(

Anybody has a tip for a good filter for removing blended frames ?

Concerning Ewoks, not so sure.

Concerning Hobbits ... sorry Ewoks...

I have had a very very very hard time last weeks (my mother died) but I tried various methods for removing the blended frames. Without success.

Therefore I decided I will continue with my original plan, that means I will do a "version 1.0" which will only be a simple PAL capture with most of the "video noise" removed . I have done episodes 1 & 2 till now and I'm quite satisfied with the result.

In cca 2-3 weeks something nice will appear on myspleen :)

Is it just me or was Carrie stoned ? Especially at the end she looks and behaves "strange"

I have a question about the "Luke's ghost" scene. "Somewhere" I have seen a screenshot from a similar or the same angle, but Luke was running up the staircase. I think it could be from the same scene. Does anybody know what I'm talking about ? images.google.com is not very helpful :-(

 

Hi, just signed up here after a long time lurking - consider me another fan for whom these new Blu-Ray changes represent the proverbial donkey back breaking straw...

Anyway - I believe this is the still you are refering to...

This COULD be the shot. I remember it from a slightly different angle, but it could be just mixed memories. But thanks for confirming I'm not absolutely crazy yet :-)

I just found these pics on retrostarwars.com and I thought they’ll be interesting for some of you

That's probably an alternate take

The very first picture shows another problem, the moon isn't "circular"

I have seen Star Wars (E4) in my local store 2 weeks ago
