I think he admitted to purchasing hormones in Austria, didn't he?


It was a joke,....lol. I know what he admitted to, but "Rambo" looks like he's suffering from a little roid rage......

I admittedly don't know much about the technical details when working with video, however I wonder what resolution the X0 footage was captured at? Wouldn't that make a difference? We can see the quality in the still captures.....and if the X0 was captured at a high res, like say a HD res, then wow I think we're getting into a fuss over nothing.

The problem is that if you try to take a non-anamorphic source and make it anamorphic, there isn't enough resolution to go around. You, in effect, spread the available resolution of the LD image, which is less than a natively anamorphic DVD, out over a larger area than it was intended to cover, making it appear grainy. I'd rather have it preserved in it's native non-anamorphic aspect ratio from the Definitive Collection laserdisk source and thus maximize the picture quality and clarity. Perhaps once the video preservation/restoration of A New Hope is finished there can be both original non-anamorphic and anamorphic varieties made available?


Yeah those stills look so grainy.

new xwing mesh, new textures, much much better than the old one. holds up very well up close. new lighting rig, new motion rig. you get the idea.

comments welcome as always.

Jesus, what did I do? I feel responsible for this crap now polluting this thread. I've read BOTH X0 threads and as far as I can see none of the X0 members EVER begged or "fished" for cash donations.

I WAS. It was ME that was excited that I finally had a few extra bucks to donate to the cause and thought I would come on this thread and suggest or encourage people to do the same. That's all. If I knew what this would blow up into I would of just kept my mouth shut. Lesson learned.

My apologies to the X0 team....

No offense, but the reason why nobody responded was because we don't like divulging how far along we are. If you've followed this thread, you'll notice that we've never divulged the status of our project. Why? Because when you're under a microscope and people demand progress and one of your partners has a serious illness and other members are experiencing troubles at certain points in time, progress doesn't happen. Coordinating work between 4 people who live in different countries takes a lot of time and money.


This was my motivation for donating and voicing my support for you guys.....It wasn't my intention to piss anybody off by taking about that evil word "money" or the word "donation"....

Thank you to the X0 team for all your hard work.

( An update on how Laserman is doing would be cool too...)
