Always interested in another version of th '97SE.

I picked up these discs from the source way back when they first came out.  At the time they were the best versions of the trilogy/Special Edition, but they also were the first discs I ever had go bad.  I was never able to copy them due to CRC errors, but I still have them, covers and all.  I doubt they play anymore.

Hmm... I'll have to give mine a spin and see if they play, then.

I acquired these way back to when they came out and mine still play great, heck of job however they were made, look like actual pressed DVDs, gold discs, labels look like a real DVD as do the covers, Dual layer, Im not a fan of the SEs but I would say these are the best versions of the original SEs out there.

I had problems backing my DVD5 versions to HDD and ended up using 3 DVD drives over 2 computers to back up the files individually. Each drive had problems with different files but between the 3, all files could read OK and be backed up. It was a pain but worth the extra work...

I have a feeling mine were flawed when I got them.  I remember trying to copy them right away, and not being able to due to errors.  I also had trouble playing at least one of the discs right off the bat...sometimes it would play, sometimes WinDVD would just sit there.  The problems just seemed to get worse over time.

These were the best versions of the SE I had up to now, but I finally got hold of the G'Kar, TB, and Flunk versions which showed up on the 'Spleen recently.  TB looks to be the best overall for Episodes V & VI SEs and the theatrical Episode I, and the Flunk is the best Episode IV SE I've seen.

What exactly is "the 'spleen"? Please forgive me for sounding stupid. I presume this is a torrent site? Is it by invite only? If so, how would I go about getting one?

Look here.
