Nyeah...Carried out a big update to this 4 year old list today. Still some more projects that could do with being added.
There are a lot of projects where we have a discussion thread on the forum, but no specs or details on the wiki (and it's unlikely there ever will be, as interest in these older projects is minimal these days). The best resource for details on these projects would be Russ's Galactic Trade Federation site.

The Scarlet PimpI'm looking for a fan-edit that simply takes the 2006 GOUT DVD9 (preferably PAL), leaves everything intact (including existing audio), but adds the 5.1 surround track from the 97SE LDs.
Obviously you'd have to edit the AC3 track a little to accommodate changes like Han shooting first, but those should be very minor differences.
I'm not much of an A/V editor so I wouldn't know how to do this myself (well adding the track might be easy, but editing it and syncing I can't do), so if anyone could do this I would be very grateful.
Cheers.

Reginald ScumI was considering doing something of that sort, but pretty much abandoned the idea because frankly, it's just too much of a pain. Not only are there overt editing differences, but apparently, there are missing frames every time an optical composite was re-done for the special edition. You'd have to upmix and patch in sections of the '93 mix for places where the edit was changed as well. Considering that even different audio mixes of the original versions don't easily synch to each other, one so altered won't be made to fit the original film without a lot of tedious work. It could be done, of course, and I would be interested in such a thing if it was, but it would be difficult.
The '97 mix does sound rather good in 5.1, but I think ultimately I still prefer the '93 version since it is closer to the original 70mm mix, and has greater dynamic range and sound quality.
