Hi,

I'm pretty new to the fan restoration scene, but I'm really enthusiastic about joining in!

So I'm looking to upgrade my current computer (a Toshiba Satellite L755 - old, and very slow; I know) to something that can handle faster processing and do a better job running film-cleanup programs than mine does now. Is this computer any good? I was looking at it and the price is OK, but wondered if it was worth getting or if there are others I should look into. I'd like to keep the budget at or below $500 if at all possible (which I know is a severe limitation).

Hey some guys on youtube already transferred an ultra high quality copy of the 1977 theatrical cut (although as you can see they discovered it was actually Super 8 format):

Here is an odd one. I have some old recordings that got IVTC, oddly. It seems that every 15th frame is duplicated. Anyone have an idea how to easily remove those extra frames?

It seems there is quite an interest on obtaining the TC cut of this film in HDTV, but I can assure you is a real mess, and it SHOULD be improved somehow... it's on my usual project drawer, but I can think to take it out, because I'd like to do it before Team Blu...

Color grading: I'm thinking to use laserdisc as reference, what do you think?

Hello everyone! I've been a lurker on the OT and Cinemageddon forums for a while and came here after hearing about all the good work going on. From what I've seen so far, this looks great!

In fact I've only just registered on OT too! But I might as well go all the way, right?

Hello,

I've posted off and on the OriginalTrilogy.com forums for a year or so now, and when I discovered that a lot of film restorations were moving here, I had to be a part of it. So, here I am.

Hi, can a 23.976 FPS NTSC film that plays @ 25 FPS on a PAL LD recorded to DVD-R @ 25FPS be converted back to NTSC FPS by changing the MPEG-2 file FPS to 23.976 and adding a NTSC soundtrack? Thanks.
