2.7

It shifts a bit in the GOUT edition as well. Kind of interesting.

Worth noting, it also affects the color of the T-16, making it a bit green as well. I’ll need to grab a copy of v2.7 or see some more screenshots from it to see how it looks throughout the scene, but if the v2.7 shot you so kindly provided shows it at its worst, then I think it could already represent a bit of an improvement over v2.5.

For lack of time and better ability to go into this color issue at depth, I found a screen shot that should help me ask my question and make obvious what I was talking about a while back on Harmy’s thread. Has the green skew to the colors of the outside wall behind Luke been adjusted in this 2.7 version you’re putting out? In most of Harmy’s v2.5 shots, when you see that wall out there, it is fairly white, but other times it is obviously fairly green like what you see in the SE…

If the sides were included in original film then that is how you must watch it, right? Ironically Lucas’ claim is that the special editions were actually his original vision so where does that lead the “widescreen purists” here…

So there.

The “SE” version you “hate” is also “widescreen”, in your face “purists”! * drops mic *

Harmy, is this what you had in mind for redoing TFA? https://youtu.be/L58oh3wIiNw

Nice.

Yes, the SE change to that scene was that they made the impact sound more pronounced; there’s always been some sort of sound there.

I am on a mac so I’d have to use imgburn via wine or other emulators

Just to be fair, WINE isn’t an emulator, as the name itself implies: Wine Is Not an Emulator.

You had a theatrical-run film scanned to VHS?

Usually people will apologize for that amount of spamming… Anyway, the AVCHD is sized specifically to fit on a dual layer DVD (BTW, DVDs are only “SD” if you put SD content on them… they hold whatever data you can fit on them). So NO you don’t have to buy a Blu-ray burner or Blu-ray burnable media, but you’ll need a DVDR DL disc (~8GB), not a normal single layer DVDR (~4GB).

720 is not 1080. You can tell because the numbers are different. 😉

I’m glad you’re here to tell us these things, Professor; Frink is assigned to take you in the back and plug things into you.

Harmy, it has been pretty quiet in this thread, just wondering if you ever made any decisions on your setup.

In light of this delay in viewing, you should probably stop lending out your TV.

Just an example of how lost we get without your leadership.

I wouldn’t have said anything, but I saw it slowly update a few characters at a time, until you finally got it while I was typing my response, haha.

You’re forgetting to put alt-text in the brackets. I’ve found the preview option is great for checking this stuff before posting.

I enjoyed the image, btw. 😃

I believe a VHS restoration of Spaceballs would be more appropriate, in this instance.

I could upgrade that to a maybe, in that case.

Well, that’s confusing… For the sake of, well, anything, let’s assume the answer is just no.
You want a link? No.
You want to put up a link? No.
You want a release that doesn’t exist yet? No.

We now have the right man on the job. 😃

PPPPPPPoor Frink.

I’m starting to think we should burn this forum down.

But hasn’t this always been your position on anything related to TN1 threads and posts?

And the zoomed out cockpit shots could stand to have a source better than GOUT (definitely part of a good case for a quick v2.5). Once you see it, you can’t help but notice it, though I’m definitely happier with the GOUT zoom out than without.

The thread title says there’s a avchd dvd9 version (which I suppose would fit on a dual layer DVD, so maybe 9gigs-ish) and an NTSC dvd5 version (which I assume fits on a single layer ~4.7gb DVD).

In all fairness, Harmy has been unable to change the thread title with the new forum software, so that’s actually still a reference to the formats available for the v1.0 release.

But yes, there are a few versions available, but are less ideal than reencoding to your needs from the best quality release, the AVCHD has a decreased bitrate to be, well, AVCHD compliant, the NTSC DVD-5 is DVD compliant (so understandably lower resolution and has the compression issues of MPEG2). The person responding about reencoding it yourself was probably meaning to be snarky, but it actually would be the best option if you want a good quality, more portable version for your own needs that are not tied to particular optical media standards.

Though it should be pointed out that the wide release seen by the vast majority of people in 1980 was not the 70mm version. It was kind of a stutter step of a release, but it does exist.
