Thanks for the glowing review. Anamorphic widescreen would be problematic at best to create as the original LDs were not made this way, and as Patrick & Mackey have already mentioned it tends to crop the picture. Later this year dual layer dvd burners are going to premiere and I have begun tentative plans to have a new transfer made by the same person who created the current transfer once the burners are commonplace. This time, better encoders will be used (hardware) and it will not be from DV format (meaning no vertical banding artifacts [red shift to the right]), it will be a direct capture with a similar adjustment of color/brightness/contrast as the current transfer. Also, better noise and anti aliasing filters will be used, a better LD player will be used (Pioneer CLD-99) and of course it will have the original PCM audio and most likely the commentary track since we will be using DVD9 discs. Menus are also planned to be included as well as numerous chapter stops. The creator might attempt an anamorphic conversion, but I have no idea how well that would work. This is all speculation so far; I will keep this forum updated of any significant progress of this ultimate goal, but please do not ask any more details as none are known yet.
