I wonder if Disney knows about this.

And I thought ebay was a wretched hive of scum and villainy!
Are they selling the Despecialized Edition?
Or are they selling second hand recordable DVDs/Blurays
that just happened to contain The Despecialized Edition?
About the letter.
Do you think mentioning Mike Verta and legacy would be a good idea?
Something like. We know about Mike Verta and legacy so don’t give us that no decent copies exist any more Crap.
But phrased more carefully.
“For those who remember. For those who will never forget. And for a whole new generation who will experience it for the very first time…”
as for the bootlegs. what about.
None of us as kids imagined what links we would need to go to inorder to obtain them.
Looks like more bad news. Oh well.
Yo Ho Yo Ho A Pirate’s Life For Me!
Why can’t someone post actual news on this project?
Was it really cancelled for space 1999 or was that a bad joke? I can never tell.
Some thing I just thought of. Some one may have already thought of it but I am not a kid nor do I have kids so I did not think of it. I was watching a video of a kid reacting to “I am your father”. The description said the kid had seen I, II, Clone wars Series, IV, V, VI, rebels. So he skipped Ep III. Now I,II,IV,V, and VI are all PG. EP III is PG13. Technically a kid should not see EP III until they are older. I wonder if G.L. thought of this?
We have an award for the post that made us laugh the most that particular year. Congratulations.

If it was up to me you would be banned!
Darn! Some one needs to fined out what the truth is.
Who am I supposed to be mad at?
mverta for destroying my dreams?
OR Finnius for being an asshole and nearly giving me a heart attack!
mverta please say its not so. 😭
OK I think I have a better understanding of the new project now.
I came on to OT.com and I found out about T-1 and I thought “its all over!”
I panicked and became an idiot.
The Collaborative idea of many people working on say no less than 3 frames each
(1 frame & the 2 frames on either side) sounds like an idea I have herd before but I do not know where. I would like to no if there are scans available for all 3 movies. And if there are
scans from multiple prince in case some one wants to try some mike verta Magic on very ugly frames like the Vaseline landspeeder shot.
Why are you wandering?
wondering wandering speech recognition sucks
i will rephrase my question.
What the hell’s going on?
Sorry! Wrong thread.
Bad news bad day
Hay there. Long time no post. Just wondering how close to completion the
T-1 trilogy is?
I had really hoped that by now the internet speeds in my area would have gotten better.
But sadly I am still stuck with 1.77 mbps at best. That being the case what are the chances of getting some HD MP4s? And can MP4s have 5.1?
OK thanks for the answer, I was just curious. Too bad it would not really help much.
Watching SD content is getting harder. You can't buy a new SD TV anymore.
I have a 32” 720P LCD that I can get SD to look good on if I tweak the settings just right and sit far enough away from it. But if 4K becomes standard I am not sure how bad SD will look on it.
wait hold on
"VidFire recreates the missing fields. It doesn't "recover them"
can you create fields that never existed
Hay there. I have a question.
Will the methods that you are using on the GOUT
work on other SD Materials?
Like old TV shows shot on SD video?
Or old 90s cartoons that are only mastered in SD?
Or on old Doctor who kinescop scans?
They are waiting for team_negative1 to finish and then they will steal that.
One thing that bugs me about that seen is how the back of the millennium falcon
is chopped off.
It was less noticeable on VHS in 4:3 but it was still there.
UGH! Ruff. Rough.
"If I had a Light saber and a time machine, I would go back and kill the guy that invented Non-phonetic spelling."
Seriously something has to be psychotic when, a word that means it's spelled the way it sounds is not spelled the way it sounds.
Phonetic should be f??nedik. Schwa should be a letter.
I looked up that Dark Energy Pro software.
Its amazing.
As for Grain on optical, I would say it would vary depending on the shot.
For example the Vaseline land speeder shot, is vary bad, and mite benefit from a bit more clean up, so it would not stick out so badly.
I can understand the space ship shots having some ruff Grain.
Its there because of the optical work, but it actually ads to the realism.
It makes it look like old stock footage, like it an old war movie.
Especially when you consider this.

It's worth considering whether the 1997 DTS Cinema mix is preferable to the newest, 2011 mix. If anyone really wanted to "despecialize" the soundtracks, the 2011 mixes would be significantly easier to work with, for most people, and offer discrete LFE and surround channels.
Interesting.
I was thinking the 1997 DTS Cinema mix would be best as it has stuff like
ANH Original Krayt Dragon Call
ESB original Emperor, voice and the original Boba Fett voice
ROTJ would have no. “No Nooooo!”
Just a thought.
Has any one attempted to Despecializ the 1997 DTS Audio?
Unless a truly better name is suggested, I think most people here are just gonna refer to them as the "negative 1 scans"
the TN1T?
the Team Negative1 Trilogy?
Sorry off topic but...
Seeing how the Team Negative1 trilogy is intended to replace the GOUT.
I've been trying to think of an acronym for the Team Negative1 trilogy.
Here is what I have come up with.
The Digital Original Unaltered Trilogy
The DOUT
Why Digital? because the Original Unaltered Trilogy has never been digital.
You mite say isn't the GOUT DVD digital? Which is true in a way but it
comes from an old analog video master. The Team Negative1 trilogy, comes directly from film.
You could call it the Remastered Original Unaltered Trilogy.
The ROUT.
But I looked up rout and got this.
“An assembly of people who have made a move toward committing an illegal act...”
Not something we what this to be named.
Personally I really like The DOUT. Because it sounds like, doubt.
Before the Negative1project started nobody would have believed that it was possible,
for anybody to scan an old 35mm print and restore it.
I like this CRT Emulation idea. I saw something like this on an emulator for old video games,
and thought it mite be cool for watching old SD video on an HD TV. Cool to see some one is doing it.
Is much better than my method. Which involved playing the GOUT on my PS3 at super low resolution, so it was window boxed.
And then using my HD camera to zoom in on the tiny box and record it.
You know it actually looked better than the GOUT normally does, but it had problems.
Before anyone asks I did not do the full movie just some samples.
At least Chewbacca is alive now.
But too bad about the Timothy Zahn books
