I have the 97 usher Pepsi commercial on tape somewhere as well. A while back, I promised ReverendBeastly that I would transfer three of his poor-quality 97 Special Edition specials (and commercials) to DVD as "Special Edition Hype" ... so it might wind up on that.
The Donny and Marie segment is the same from Rarities I. The video quality is pretty good but the audio is crackly.
The Richard Pryor Cantina segment appeared on Rarities II a while back. Someone ought to grab the new official version from the new Pryor DVDs, as the quality would obviously be much better.
Hopefully more news on Star Wars Classic Edition soon. Waiting on some new stuff from Russ Dawson, actually.
By the way, many thanks to Skot Kirkwood, Kenneth Anderson, Russ Dawson, JED, and Guillermo Gomez for their contributions to this disc.
The Mark Hamill Muppet Show is indeed available on DVD, and can be rented at many Blockbusters.
This encode is taken from that DVD, but it might be an extra generation of quality down the line by now. I'd have to check to be sure - quality is quite good though.
The encode of Making of the Special Edition is courtesy Russ Dawson, and is the best I've ever seen. It includes the Jedi SE trailer. The encode of Soundtrack! is courtesy Kenneth Anderson and is official-DVD quality. It is 16x9 formatted even though it's a 4x3 video, so on your computer it may appear in a smaller window onscreen. It will play fine on a TV however.
I have completed my third and I think final version of the Return of the Ewok disc.
Here's the info:
D1: first attempt.
D2: Same as D1, with an extra Jacket Picture added.
D3: Jabba scene further reedited and improved.
I have burned several copies of D2, so you might not get quite the best version of the Jabba scene ... all D1 and D2 copies are marked as such on the disc.
I would like to request that only the D3 version be torrented.
