I've no idea of the specifics, luckily at the moment they don't need the YCM;s, if they do then, as an example, "Pollyanna" had a knackered negative and the YCM masters turned out to be YCC! They managed to fix that little problem....more recently North X Northwest had a knackered negative and...

It certainly would be preferable:-) M

Hi Kevin, Star Wars is ok preservationally speaking. In fact it's better than that really. The O-Neg has been repaired (albeit with sections removed, that may or may not have been restored - but are in storage). Original IP's/IN's and YCM's exist, as do newly produced IP's, print masters as well...

Im sorry, what?! This all started when you said "The best sources would be 1977 sourced IP or archival copies or color separations, or even Lucas' Technicolor Print. ." because you felt the colour was wrong. That is what I said, for the most part, was rubbish and it still is. I'll repeat, the...

There's no need to quote someones entire text when you just want to reference a piece of it! I'm aware it's part of the same company, my point was and is, what's this got to do with Star Wars, especially as "darth" made a point of saying that it's colour was wrong (Lucasfilm would disagree - the...

Again, rubbish, and this is the last time I'm going to reply. "I love it when people can't read. " - you'll be pleased to know that this applies to yourself then! The TCM thing is an example of this, TCM is a film channel, TCM is not turner, turner is not WB. Just because a company owns another...

I stopped reading when you said TCM put's out dvds's including Gone with the Wind, they didn't and don't. Warner Home Video put out both GWTW dvd's and also has released (and transferred for home video/broadcast) the MGM/RKO catalogue and has for approaching 15 years. "TCM" has nothing to do...

Absolute rubbish! Please use paragraphs in your explosions of text otherwise people just wont read it! By TCM, do you mean the Tv station, if so when do they "issue movies" at all?! The rights owners create the broadcast masters, which they show, sometimes from best available elements, sometimes...

I totally agree. The issue is that Lucas has kinda shot himself in the foot. By withdrawing the old versions and making the new '04/'11 versions available only from a 2K digital master, he can now no-longer produce high quality theatrical prints of his-own preferred cut. He also can't use this...

Correct! You would have hoped that restoration would have occured, dupes made and then vfx changes cut into an IP, but no...

RE: 2K v 4K, having re-read the extremely limited information available about what has gone on with this title previously it's difficult to know what is best, short of re-scanning the negative (and original replaced trims) and starting again with the VFX. As far as I can gather: 1) The...

@ Kevin EK A large portion of classic films from the major studios are receiving new HD transfers before release on BD as they have realised that transfers done prior to about '07-08 do not cut it when blown up onto big screens due to artifacts and improvements in the scanning technology. As...
