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)

MKV

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.

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

Did you even look at my post this morning?

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

So, I'm done with the 25gb BD for the JSC trilogy. I've tested it on the PS3 slim for the last week and everything works as it should.  What's the best delivery format?  BDMV folder or ISO?

 BDMV folder.  If you have a BD burner you can easily burn it with imgburn.  If you don't have a BD burner you can quickly convert the BDMV folder to AVCHD ,etc; without having to extract the files from the iso.  I'm not sure if there is any freeware out there for extracting iso's so I definitely think a BDMV folder would be the best way to go to accommodate both those with and without a BD burner.

Well.... I guess it isn't a phobia as much as an extreme distaste, but whenever the protagonist of a film gets wrongfully blamed for something he didn't do - and you have to watch the repercussions play out - I get incredibly uncomfortable.  If it's some sort of exposition that happened before the film takes place, however, I'm okay with it.

 What do you think of 'Shawshank Redemption' then?

Idea: HD restoration of the Phantom Edits..

Possessed said:

Hmm, perhaps but the bluray has overall better quality even with the tint, seems like it would be more productive to just remove the tint.  And like I said, once Emansfans version with complete color correction and film grain and some of the cg manipulated to look more like models (if you aren't following his thread, you should be) it will be the version I make a V2 with.

 It would be great if you removed the tint.  I think for me it really is bothersome because I was so used to the pre-BD color timing.

I agree it's dcp - wowow - canal+ - HD Net -DVD - LD - VHS - being poked in the eyes - BD in that order

 Okay, so at the moment we have available in HD(not including BD):

Part I - DCP, WOWOW, and HDNet

Part II - Canal+ and HDNet

Part III - HDNet

It's not looking good for Part III.  Does anyone know if the WOWOW or Canal+ is available for it?  (PM me if you happen to have a copy of one of these)
