And the award for MOST THREADS STARTED BY A NEWBIE goes to...//drumroll 
MeBeJedi: Sadly, I believe the prequels are beyond repair.
JediRandy: They're certainly beyond any repair you're capable of making.
MeBeJedi: You aren't one of us.
Go-Mer-Tonic: I can't say I find that very disappointing.
JediRandy: I won't suck as much as a fan edit.

I would suggest this DVD set for calibration "Digital Video Essentials" it may cost a bit more but you get MORE with this set + you can select the best calibration disc for your system - Not one DVD for all systems

So what's the difference between the video essentials disc and the THX optimiser on a THX DVD?

The THX optimizers aren't all the same - some may be designed specifically for the film they accompany. The Video Essentials disc is a much better baseline.

Are you sure about that. THX makes films so that all there films are on the same consistant color scale. The optimizer makes your set up good for all THX films. I sent an email to them to find out for sure.

THX OptimizerUse THX Optimizer to calibrate the performance of your home theater system so that it produces picture and sound quality equal to the original movie – as the director intended.
THX Optimizer software allows the user to optimize the presentation of THX Certified DVD titles on home theater systems. Available only from THX Digital Works, THX Optimizer is a carefully designed set of audio and video test signals embedded on all THX Certified DVD titles released since summer of 2000. The Optimizer test signals are identical to the final reference tests used by filmmakers during the mastering of each release. These signals allow the user to perform a series of audio and video tests and adjust the home system's performance to guarantee the best possible presentation of each movie – and experience each one as the director intended. - THX Website
Yeah, I'm sure. Here's another.
A third calibration DVD that you can use if you can not afford either AVIA or VE is the THX Optimizer found on most THX certified dvd's. There is a major drawback to using this utility however. Each THX Optimizer is made specifically for the dvd it comes on. So you will get varying results from movie to movie. For instance you do not want to use the one from Fight Club, nor do you want to use the one from Toy Story. It is best to try and find a well balanced and neutral movie both in color palette and brightness.

I use this:

and this:
http://www.ovationmultimedia.com/opticone.html
But I'm nuts.
I would pick up both Avia and Digital Video Essentials if you can. Avia's only real flaw is that it can't pass blacker than black. Otherwise, it has more test patterns that are of higher quality than those included with DVE. DVE also has some of the most maddening, illogical user menus I've ever seen. It's a lesson in bad user interface design.
