Powered Descent posted:These days, it's universally acknowledged that the best available release is the quasi-legal Harmy's Despecialized Edition, which basically strives to re-create the laserdisc version but using the highest-quality elements available of everything. The current best version is 4K77, the 4K scanned restoration of an original Technicolor film print.

evobatman posted:From what I can tell, the 4k77 will be the most accurate to 1977 version, while the Harmys editions will be actually watchable and enjoyable. Uh, what does "watchable and enjoyable" mean? Harmy's edits are reconstructions; 4K77 is the real thing.

Weirdly dismissive, ITT. I've seen it, it's good, better than Harmy's and certainly better than the LD, yay Star Wars. Watch whichever version you like best, I guess. Lots of love.

No, 4K77 is from a dramatically better print. The SS edition was a copy of a copy with significant color fading and damage, 4K77 is from an original Technicolor print that a private collector loaned out based on how good SSE was.

There are, but not restored to the same pristine degree.

There's an interesting book called Racing The Beam that is all about the tricks used to get the Atari to go beyond its limits, with some development stories for notable games. Relevant to the discussion, but y'all probably know about it already!

Some of my favorite Techmoan videos are the ones where he methodically opens and tests hundreds of discarded Japanese minidisc players.

Powered Descent posted:Same here. The only danger is that you get used to that speed, and when you switch back to normal speed for something, evvvvreyonnne sounnnnds druunk. I listen to certain podcasts at 0.6x and I experience the opposite*. If I listen to them normal they sound like they are on crack. *I listen to these podcasts to fall asleep.

Data Graham posted:More like when you ask for a Big Mac or something, they will try to sell you a combo meal and they'll say "oh, just the sandwich?" no matter how you emphasize "just the burger" I just assumed it's because their hamburgers don't meet the legal definition of a hamburger, so they call them sandwiches.

Guy Axlerod posted:Is there any reason it has to be sodium vapor lamps? Wouldn't any singe-wavelength LED work here? I'm making a big assumption about a bright enough LED source existing. I'm not an expert, but I think yes, any single-wavelength would work, as long as it isn't in the color image you're trying to capture and you can notch/split it during recording, so one recording captures only that one wavelength and the other recording captures everything except that one wavelength. Sodium vapor is good because it's mature technology and it emits that weird yellow wavelength that RGB LEDs don't emit, so it's easier to isolate. You could use UV or something as long as you had the right filters for it and your recording system was sensitive to it. Back when Disney was doing it it might have been one of the only narrow wavelength lighting technologies that wouldn't have interfered with the three color film process.

I used to watch the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour on E! before the OJ trial, and then they switched to 100% daily coverage of that. I tuned in every day hoping the trial would be over so I could watch the Smothers Brothers again. When the trial finally ended, E! completely changed their schedule and the Smothers Brothers were no more. OJ Simpson killed the Smothers Brothers.
