I have all three of the Star Wars, the original Derann release, The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi. All were bought from Derann, with the later two with German credits. Both the sound and picture are fine.

Mention of Raiders of the Lost Ark my copy suffers from lots of wow and flutter, the same with Last Crusade the image is fine.

Hi David,

perhaps the wow and flutter on INDY films is the result of bad re-recordings done with a not working well projector.

You could try to re-record them, even if the masters of the two film are full of splits/missing frames, indeed...

Your right they are the only 2 films that suffer. It seems as if when getting out of sync the projector was speed up or down. The picture is really great on both.

The only slight complaint with Empire is that it seems like there's almost a slight "wipe" (that's the only way I can describe it) to the image. You can see it in some of the screenshots, mostly the scenes on Hoth. Beyond that, top notch sharpness. Though I have a very good Empire part 1 digest now, (German version), there is nothing like seeing that chase through the asteroids in scope!

Is there a trick to this? I can't get either to respond to emails regarding sales after several attempts.

Yes, mine does. However you can order it anyway you like it. For example if you wanted it a bit cheaper and know how to sync to a dvd source for audio, then you can get away with not having any soundtrack put on. I have considered doing this with future film purchases.

You're in for a treat Alan! The color's are gorgeously saturated, it looks GREAT on the big screen. One of those prints that makes me glad that I collect super 8 over other guages! That kind of quality in a super 8 scope frame!
