How does the 01 Distribution version of TGTBATU compare to the Mondo version?

 

If it's anything like 01's GBU Blu, it'll just be a region-coded version of the Mondo disc.

 I'm guessing your GBU acronym is the same as my TGTBATU acronym therefore you answered my question.

How does the 01 Distribution version of TGTBATU compare to the Mondo version?

About half way through checking the WP - here are the things I've noticed so far. Apologies if they have already been addressed or if they are correct the way they are.

Someone mentioned Hoth looking a bit purple and I agree, although it seems to be purple sky more than purple snow:

5780
12943
13646
14217
14547
14649
18427
38329

45761 to 46122 - Magenta flashes similar to ones fixed in Star Wars?

Falcon interior from 52992 - Everything seems way more saturated in closer shots, especially the lights and Han's lip.

 Did you see this post, Harmy?  Could it possibly be a Purple Hoth? (okay a little hyperbole there)  At least three people think so.

God, I was positive it was gonna be the color of the snow on Hoth this time around.

 After watching the workprint on my HDTV this was actually the only thing I was unsure about.  I thought Hoth was going to be more blue (which I've gotten used to) and so many discussions had come to the conclusion that it was originally blue much of the time. 

The thing that really stood out for me was much of the time on Hoth it seemed to be closer to a shade of purple.  I'm surprised I'm the only one whose noticed this.

I watched the workprint on my 40in HDTV and the corners didn't bother me at all, and I was looking for them.   My only curiosity is why there weren't rounded corners in SW V2.5.

Mega.co is free up to 50GB

 Do you mean mega.co.nz?  That is definitely a good one.  Harmy uses uloz.to and multiupload which are good also.

My dad's birthday is in four days.  This is his all time favorite movie.  He loathes the Director's Cut.  It would be awesome to give him this restored version for his birthday, but if not....

Anyone got the password for the the usenet version?

 PM sent, Doc.

On Usenet, 720p though:

Harmy correct me if I'm wrong but I would guess the jabba scene is the color corrected blu-ray with Team Blu's jabba matted on top of the newer jabba

 Look at post #28 and #29 on page 2.

Ok, so I've been busily searching Usenet and the Spleen for copies or preservations of the original full screen pan and scan of the trilogy. I have already added Starkiller's 1982 Video Rental to my collection. What I am wondering is if there are similar transfers of Empire and ROTJ available. I guess what I am after is something akin to what I experienced growing up watching them for the first time. Anyone care to point me in the right direction for Empire and ROTJ? Many thanks!

Try "Dark_Jedi Full Screen LaserDisc" at your favorite usenet search engine

 Which, if I'm not mistaken, will have to be www.binsearch.info.  (Just checked and they are all there, btw)

Is there a free program that can convert MKV over to an AVCHD?  I can't watch that great-looking Back to the Future DCP because the bitrate is too high for my computer to play smoothly.  I know I'd be sacrificing some quality, but I'm sure it will still look amazing as an AVCHD.

Sleepy Hollow (1999)

Very entertaining movie.  I've loved it since the first time I saw it in the theater.  I can't see how anyone wouldn't enjoy it unless they just can't get past the fact that Washington Irving probably wouldn't approve.

Did you even look at my post this morning?

http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Star-Wars-OT-1997-Special-Edition-Info/post/703339/#TopicPost703339

 Yes, I saw that earlier.  I didn't realize that they were in that post.

Please, can someone who somehow got the passwords PM it to me?  Thanks.

Why don't we put a search box in the corner that just does that?

 Just do it like me.  Create a OT.com Search Bookmark in your browser.  Problem solved.

Edit:  Oh, and use what Tobar said above.

There's a thread on here where someone is an admin or something on myspleen, and they're giving out invites to all Originaltrilogy members.

There are scenes that are exclusive to the theatrical which I like.  That is enough reason IMO for a preservation.

It's been up on the 'spleen for two months.  There's currently 19 seeds right now.

All I remember is the extremely popular soundtrack with the hip-hop and rock/metal collaborations:

As far as on-topic goes, I checked Rutracker and Usenet and I couldn't find anything.

I'm having a hard time streaming the video.  Maybe too many people are watching at once?  Seems good so far though, w hat little I've managed to see :)

 Download it with Jdownloader2.  Right-click on the link and select copy or copy location.  It will then appear in JD2 and you should be good to go.
