Info: DVNR smearing in GOUT not in the master...? Or is the 1995 release a different master altogether...?
Time

Just a stupid question - are you talking about this VHS tape, Harmy ?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Star-Wars-VHS-1995-Widescreen-Version-/310321362718?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D3%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D1034864642392288824&_qi=RTM742990

 

Or something completely different ? Just to know what should I buy on eBay :-)

Info: Droids and Ewoks, anybody ?
Time

Just a quick update, I have been collecting a few more sources for Droids. Primarily tracking down a decent un-edited copy of Coby.  

I think that I finally have a decent copy in hand.  It is the original ABC airing with commercials. I now have the original Droids bumpers as well as the 'Droids and Ewoks Adventure hour' bumpers and ending (Don't have the Adventure Hour intro).

Ringwraith and I are currently parsing through all of our sources to try and find the best of the best to compare with what everyone else has.  As well as fixing any video defects.

So how did the transfers go for Video Collector and Pittrek?

 

I am not unfortunately in contact with Video Collector anymore :-( I received last mail from him in March.

The documentary was also on the USA release without burned in subtitles.

Once upon a time it was on the dark jedi special edition v1 bonus disc i think, long ago my copies succumbed to rot.

Have to see if it is on the editdroid collection but i don't think it is, those are oot not special edition.

As I wrote on page 1 it's on one of the OCP discs :-)

Personally I think it's simply a poorly written, poorly directed and poorly edited boring movie with poor special effects and REALLY bad action sequences

Ah, c'mon. Now you're just nitpicking ;-(

There is not a single special effect shot which would look believable. The good thing is they at least TRIED to fix the Rancor sequence for the 2004 DVD, but it still looks fake

The 2006 DVDs don't include the theatrical versions, but the 1993 laserdisc versions. They have a new audio mix (from 1993), different color timing, different editing (missing frames) ... The SW DVD is actually a merge of the 1993 laserdisc version with a 1977 theatrical opening crawl. 

To call a few missing frames lost when making the telecine for "different editing" is very misleading. IIRC the '93/"GOUT" telecine is the one that have the most frames intact out of all SW-releases on video so far.

You're of course correct. For somebody who is not an native English speaker it is sometimes a problem to find the correct English terms :-) That's why I added the "missing frames" part
