These DVD's look awsome!! I'm confused how you've managed to fit the original PCM soundtrack from the laserdisc onto the DVD-r, plus the commentary, plus the film itself without severely compromising the bit rate of the film? Is the soundtrack compressed or a straight copy of the original PCM stream?

Have burnt some DVD-R's from my 'faces' laserdiscs using a stand alone Panasonic DVD recorder, but I think the PC route is probably better as you can correct the colour, and make the black bars truly black. The colour balance on Empire in particular is terrible on my laserdisc.. it looks very washed out, and the digital noise reduction THX used for the hoth sequences looks really bad as well. I will be interested to see how your version looks.

Love all this home-brew Star Wars DVD stuff :-)
