Barring inherent compression artifats (MPEG2 -> AVI -> MPEG2 for single-layer DVD = no getting around artifacts), this is really the best recreation of the original theatrical edition of first film that's out there, I feel. The laserdisc footage is extremely well integrated into the DVD footage and painted out ronto? What painted out ronto! It was excellent. But perhaps the best part about this disc is how seamlessly the mono soundtrack elements are put back into the soundtrack. They all sound totally clean! I guess that's what you get when you're only using a part of a low-quality soundtrack rather than the whole thing at once. Not only all that, but the commentary track is amazing. I love hearing Tony Daniels speak, and he certainly has his fair share of time on this track. Just all around awesomeness.
Supremely excellent work, here. Reccomended to all, at least until there's a dual-layer version (hint to Garrett: do that when that stuff becomes affordable)... or until the Legacy edition leaks in a decade. Hey, I can hope, can't I?
