Not to be a thorn in the side, but I worked on the Anchor Bay "Suspiria" DVD. You can see my name (along with my restoration of the radio spots and my promotional materials) in the special features. The 5.1 mix on the DVD is from the original 4.0 magnetic Soundtrack found on prints made for major engagments; the differences between the stereo VHS/LD and the 4.0 mix is much like the differences between the 70mm, stereo and mono mixes of Star Wars. There really isn't much of a remix involved there between the 4.0 mag track and the 5.1 DD/DTS Tracks. I believe an LFE track was added, but that's about it.

That said, I think it's cool that you've done this, as there have been a lot of complaints about it from fans who saw it the first time with the early 90's video release (people are so used to the Magnum release sound mix, that it's become the one they love).

I re-read this thread again since it was bumped in the last day or so, and unfortunately I don't think this disc qualifies as a fan edit.

I appreciate that an update of the forum rules is overdue, but I'll take this opportunity to post my own thoughts:

A fan edit is an attempt to improve on or alter an existing film by the insertion, deletion or re-ordering of scenes within the movie. It involves the application of artistic license to the material available.

A custom dvd contains a film essentially the same as a retail release, but with differences in technical details such as video format, sound mix, picture quality or subtitles.

It's fine to discuss the creation of custom DVDs, what you changed, why you did it and how you went about it, but I feel that openly offering to distribute such discs is not a good idea for this forum.

I'll send a note to Jay asking him to take a look at this thread.
