Anyway, we are sorting it out, no need for concern
On other matters, I am loading ANH back onto my drives tomorrow, so hopefully we will get some screenshots up not long after.
BTW, did anyone here go to C3?

That's cool. I just figured it would be easier to ghost the drives. I guess the 80+GB per figure MeBeJedi mentioned was per film. Well, I figured if the guy with the X0 had one 300GB drive with the Faces set captured onto it and one 300GB drive with the DC set captured onto it, he could just use Norton Ghost or something like that to copy the contents of his capture drives onto any hard drive anyone sends him as long as they are big enough. So, if he had that and you wanted let's say the Faces set capture, you could just send him a drive big enough for it and he could just copy the contents off of his Faces drive onto your and send that back to you instead of having to recapture the Faces set again onto the drive you send him. Also, I don't know if the person with the X0 has both the DC and Faces LD's. If they don't, you would only have to send either of them to him once because he would be able to capture them to his archive drives and send the LD's back when he is finished. Once he has both sets captured onto his two archive drives, there would be no need to send LD's back and forth. That way, only hard drives would be shipping back and forth and I know they would be cheaper to ship than LD's. I hope all of that makes sense.
Now everything I've said could be moot if you start adding more LD's to the mix like both the Japanese and U.S. Faces releases and if you start experimenting with different capture devices. Which all of that could very well be a concern as well.
