* I meant honesty.
By the way, what do the silver and gold lightbulbs mean next to our names?
>> I resolved not to buy any future versions unless
>> they were the Original Trilogy I loved
I've felt the same way. I long ago stopped buying the latest Blu-Ray and DVD box sets and I'm definitely not going to see the current 3D theatrical releases.
In all honest, I actually have NO problem at all with Lucas updating his movies to the various special editions. In some ways, he really did make at least some improvements. But what I simply want is a choice. In a perfect world, Lucasfilm would release a box set of the original trilogy that would include the original 1970-80s movies and the special editions.
It's sad that this will likely never happen. And that's why I personally am so excited about Harmy's work here!
The combination of Virtual CloneDrive and VLC Media Player worked. Thank you! And Harmy, a huge thank you to you! It's as if you've brought back my childhood. Wow, that's truly amazing, amazing work.
(But, yes, I'll wait to try to burn anything until version 2.0 comes out).
And in answer to the question about the avatar picture, it's one of my ancestors. It probably wouldn't look familiar unless you too have relatives from counties Fermanagh and Tyrone, Northern Ireland.
Okay, I got the VLC Media Player, it sees the ISO files, and it tries to load them, but nothing happens. Do they need to be loaded a certain way? Or converted into something else first by the program?
Okay, I downloaded all three of the despecialized movies, but they're all in ISO format.
Forgive me. I am pretty knowledgeable about basic video editing and burning, but I've never done anything in regards to Blu-Ray and HD quality videos. I also only have a regular DVD burner (and I can't burn them to DVD since they're all higher than 8 gigabytes), so my question is....
Is it possible, for now, to simply watch these videos on my computer? How would I be able to view them? Can it be done in the current ISO format or would they need to be converted to something else first?
(And, yes, I did google this first. Thus, I installed "DAEMON Tools Pro Advanced" and mounted the ISO file to the F: drive on my computer. But neither Windows Media Player nor Roxio were able to recognize the file format).
Thank you!
Harmy, with all the suggestions you're currently taking (as well as that repaired scene when the speeder was sold), it looks like there's going to be at least one more despecialized release of the entire trilogy.
Is that correct? I'm downloading the three movies right now, but would you agree that we should probably wait to burn permanent copies until this next version is completed...?
Harmy, congratulations on this amazing achievement. It's sad that it should even be necessary (GL should have done this on his own already), so you've done a tremendous service towards film history preservation.
Anyway, please forgive me if this was discussed before....
I completely understand the legal reasons preventing selling the despecialized films for PROFIT, but I'm wondering if anybody has taken it upon themselves to produce the Blu-Ray discs and print the cover art, and then sell them at ACTUAL COST plus LABOR. If so, where could they be found?
