I don't think I have watched any of them for 2-3yrs now. I will probably watch them all again when Ady releases ESB:R. I am bit on the fence though, as dark_jedi has yet to also release the GOUT V3 blu-ray too, so may end up waiting for that as well.
Ady that modified one looks perfecto. I prefer the transmission scan lines (or whatever they are called) to the old one. It enhances the hologram and just overall looks better.

Someone needs to tell him to do The Matrix. If he could regrade that from the blu-ray, it would look amazing.
I already asked him if he could and he said he's just to busy with other projects but that he will definitely check it out.
Awesome!

Adywan could snuggle some Pit Droids into Jabba's Palace ;-)
Maybe while they're 'snuggling' they could get really romantic and put on a DVD of 'The Notebook'.
Hey! That film is awesome! It pulls at the heart strings in so many ways... I will never forget.
The new droid tweaks make it come to life more than ever! Amazing work.
Regarding the VHS discussion, is it wrong that I remember Terminator 2 on VHS sounding awesome? In fact, both Independence Day and Twister sounded great on VHS too, from what I can remember.
Just went over to the link with the 60 odd screenshots and I can definitely see a big improvement! They look fantastic!
Another request here as well for the BTTF trilogy!

Cinema DTS! :O that Harrier scene!
Indeed! :-P
It looks good, however I think I can see something that looks like chroma noise where the grain has been added. That might be the wrong word for it actually, but I can see where you've added grain it is having the side-effect of causing some tiny coloured dots to appear in places.
How do we do that? I can't see anything on there, unless we need to login - where do we register?

As long as it isn't adding an extra shot of Vader looking down at luke falling and going "Noooooooooooooooo!".
Hmm, now you have given me an idea.........
;)
It would be funny to see this if there was a new promotional trailer for ESB Revisited later in the year. People are really enjoying the trailer then bam! Vader looking at luke falling and going "Noooooooooo!". It would be a nice way to do some Lucas trollin'. ;-)

The rest of what you said was utterly meaningless. We aren't comparing two files from different sources, we are comparing one source and the transcode of that source. There is no way to make a transcode more transparent than the file it's coming from.
As already said, two different sources dude. Which is why I was comparing the detail I could see in one of them.

Why are we doing detail comparisons on an "HDTVRip 1080p"? The original file is a 15GB 1080i.
That means absolutely nothing.
Sigh.
15GB 1080i vs 15GB 1080i -> unknown size HDTVRip 1080p
Gee, which is going to look better? The source or the one that is squished down from it?
Well done in taking my words out of context, and simply ignoring the rest of what I said.

That means absolutely nothing. If the original file has less detail and more smearing than say a 10GB file that had no smearing and more detail, would you use the bigger file because it was "bigger"? It really depends on the source and how good it is, than just how big the file is.
I have no idea on the size of the files, but that d-theater one looks better to my eyes as I can see more detail, that's all I was sayin'. :-)
Yeah, it does break the tension a bit. Will there be a new arm/hand in that scene if Ady is re-doing the Wampa? Or maybe a more frightening scream to keep the tension?
The d-theater one looks like it has a bit more detail.

It would be nice to see BTTF get the same treatment as the new 4K remaster of Ghostbusters. One can dream right?

Surprised no one has mentioned the atrocity that was The French Connection when first released to BD. Thankfully that was rectified on a later edition.
Did Fincher supervise the colour timing of Seven/Fight Club for BD? I know the Seven DVD was carefully re-timed but I thought it was under Fincher's supervision (after all he is quite the notorious perfectionist).
Finally, The Godfather series was re-timed for the Coppola restoration. But apparently none of us saw how it was supposed to look, at least on home video since every previous home video release was mastered from terrible prints.
Fincher supervised them, but they are digital recreations of the chemical effect, and while they are the best the films have looked at home they are not 100% accurate.
Se7en actually looked closer on the Criterion LD as they used a silver retention print for the scan, but obviously the colour space and resolution are way off.
The new remastered Se7en in blu-ray looks closer to the Criterion LD and DVD. The first blu-ray edition had framing problems and the colours weren't quite right either from memory.

Okay cool. Was just wondering if this was somekind of 'It's ready now!' teaser thing.
I'll just have to take a cold shower and wait. lmao
I know, it can be hard not to stay erect while in here at times.

My body is ready!
This confirms exactly what I was talking about.
From what I can see from the screenshot comparison, that is pretty much what I saw when it was re-released at the cinema. I guess, they were using the digital re-release to test the waters for the new 4K remaster.
I am so happy this has happened, as it looked exactly spot on when I saw it at the cinema. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the contrast was fixed on the big screen. Hopefully others will feel the same with the new 4K blu-ray :-)
