BIGT:

I believe the video problems stemmed from going from 30fps to 24fps and all the horrible after-effects of the 3:2 pulldown/telecine originally used to put the features on LD.

That problem may have been dealt with, but I'm not sure. I have to find out from my buddy. However, I think he was also concerned about preserving the Dolby PL signal upon transfer. I will find out more and get back to you.

Do you have much knowledge of this type of transfer? THANKS.

Well I got them in the mail last Tuesday in perfect mint condition. The discs look great & hey alittle film grain is always a nice thing

There's another ancient Jedi saying "opinions are like assh*les. Everyones got one and they all stink."

Were'nt theses LDs put on DVD by the bootleggers (please do not discuss where you could by the DVDS)??? and how was the quality?

There have been several versions of bootleg Star Wars DVD's. Most of the OT versions are total crap, out of sync audio/video and a horrendous menu system (Jar Jar must have made them). The best (?) is the "5-star" version of the SE releases. They were mastered from the laserdiscs, but the video is a bit washed out. They include a DTS soundtrack and a DD 5.1 and 2.0, but the only bearable track is the 2.0. Really it's best to avoid them all together and stick with LD.

For information on the Star Wars DVD bootlegs, one should refer to this archived thread:

and refrain from any further discussion of the topic in this thread (or on the board), as the subject matter is now forbidden.

I'm about to win this. I'm trading my 2 trillogy vhs tapes (orighinal and se soon)

Uhh, those are tapes too.

Yeah those are tapes. That's the set I have for sale. Anyone? Anyone?

But Todd...

What if....say....you have some information about NEW versions of the Star Wars DVD's that are being "released?" Are we able to share that information as well?

I know they are. I don't have a laserdisc player. Actually since the price of that one got too high (now at 51.00!) I decided to go for the se version for now 10 bucks.

I once found one of those black box WS sets for $25 at a used CD shop. I sold it for about $40. Kinda wish I'd kept it a little longer but I already had a copy of my own, plus the blue holo-box set, plus the SE set. (All WS baby!)
