At some point we will be working on the Indiana Jones trilogy. But that will be some time from now. Will be interesting to see the colors on the prints.

Team Negative1

The trailers for Star Wars will be restored at some point, but that will be after we are done with the movies.

The 2nd Fuji print is very clean, but we use Filmguard for cleaning:

Team Negative1

We have no problem with people making their own unofficial derivative versions. Please include our information with it if you do make one. 

We have a few color corrected versions made already, and with the latest Fuji print, which is only lightly faded, so that is being used for the final version. This was just done as a quick one off, and will not be used for future releases.

There is a 16mm LPP which will be a reference, and possible talk of the 35mm LPP, but we have to wait and see what happens with that.

Team Negative1

We have a comparison of samples from the following:

Star Wars LPP vs GOUT

So this is kind of a Grindhouse version, as no cleanup has been done on it.

Details on reddit under AMPSdeux.

Happy New Year OT, and we are looking forward to an even better one next year.

We have completed the 1080p Bluray version, and will be testing it out. Give us a couple of days to get it ready, and have artwork created. It will be very minimal with a basic menu.

Thanks to -1 for the original print, and to the rest of the team that worked on it, and continued the project after he left.

Team Negative1

We have no plans to do anything further with this release, besides fixing the encoding glitch at the end.

From the info:

=========================================

Methodology : Originally, we had considered waiting for cleanup to be

completed before release. However, during the last several years, the

team has changed. Members have left and other members have joined. Prints

have come and gone. In fact, we now have a partial FUJI print, and a

secondary complete FUJI print that is very clean with minimal fade.

This will probably be the source of the final cleaned and restored version

that is still being worked on.

Future : There is possible news of the rumored LPP foreign version of

the Empire Strikes Back, this is still being followed up on.

Unless you have a comment, or question about the actual release.

If you are knowledgeable about how to fix the issues, please post a guide there so we can refer people to it, and not keep duplicating the posts. Everyone is not an expert, so please help each other out there.

We have some more interesting plans, and want to make sure people know.

Team Negative1

Thanks Harmy, we always appreciate your work and comments, and coming from you that is high praise.

We will be sending you some more clips for this, and then will try getting back to the Return of the Jedi clips for you.

Team Negative1

Thanks again for all the kind comments everyone.

We don't have an estimate for the BD disc yet, but we are going to make sure it works correctly, and have a physical disc checked on a bluray player.

Thanks for your patience, and we will keep you posted when finished.

Team Negative1

We are actually working on a bluray compliant version. We will see about fixing the final scene also.

Team Negative1

Has anyone tried MultiAvchd yet. It has been recommended.

====================================

Team Negative1

We recommend using MPC-HC , VLC or Potplayer on your PC to watch this. It has been tested with each one, for 720p, and 1080p on a Windows PC using Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 (10 if you are adventurous).

Team Negative1

The latest version of ESB has some cropping in it. We have not done comparisons yet, but it should be easy to make your own now.

Team Negative1

I guess we should have put some kind of smiley face or sarcasm tag on it. Of course George Lucas approves. He's the one that released it in that manner.

Team Negative1

100% Lucasfilm approved. No additives, no artificial scenes. 

Accept no substitutes.

Congratulations Adywan, and team for all the progress you've made this year.

We're waiting patiently too.

We imagine some of your fans might be interested in checking out our Grindhouse ESB 35mm.
