:: Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope
:: The mono soundmix

:: Source Details

Source is VHS; movie taped from a UK ITV broadcast approximately 20 years ago.
Audio is on the linear track - no hifi on VHS back then!
Source is PAL @ 25fps, so if you NTSC guys want to use this in your DVD projects
I guess you will need to slow down by ~4%.
Several seconds of audio are missing from both the beginning and the end, and there
are also occasional gaps; whoever recorded this paused the tape for the ad breaks but was sometimes a bit slow at
restarting the tape. The tape is very worn at the start and the audio drops out
and goes wobbly several times during the title music. It will take a lot of
perseverance to get this audio in sync with a good copy of the video.

Here are some names that will get the set, even if they dont want it;

they are getting this set because they have helped me in the past

Great stuff, I wonder how many downloaders will have a go at converting it to DVD... (and not get the aspect ratio spot-on )

Sorry. I've been away for a bit. If anyone still cares, I was able to dig up the main menus for my V1.1 bonus discs.

First, to clarify that there are two versions of "our" pre-ANH disc. The
first has a recreated crawl and three sound mixes: mono (from a VHS boot),
matrixed Dolby stereo (from the late 90's widescreen laserdisc), and the
Definitive Edition mix, which we believe to be a mixdown of the 1977
six-track 70mm mix. At the time we were unaware of Burtt's 1995 home video
remix, so we thought the widescreen LD track was identical to the 1977
stereo and labeled it as such. This first disc was encoded straight from
the Beta tapes using the multipass feature of the Sonic and thus retained
the not-quite-black letterbox bars w/ burned-in subtitles and did not enjoy
frame-by-frame cleanup of film and video artifacts. Whenever we encountered
a dropout on the tape, we'd have to re-transfer the affected portion from
the LD to another tape, lay down new timecode to match the master with the
error on it, and reencode that section. Quite a laborious process.

That is from an e-mail posted on the Editdroid thread from the DVD creators.


If you have the 4 Rowman extra's disks there is not a lot of point in getting the Dr Gonzo discs too unless you are a completist.


The Cowclops version has been getting mixed reviews with some people hardly liking it at all.

As far as the Holiday Special, the best (in my opinion) is any derivative of this......

Was this fan DVD released with a cover?
