Yes, I too am "pretty sure" the DC laserdiscs contain 2.35:1 images (for the Trilogy proper, not necessarily the Supplementals), and I'm pretty sure Pan/Scan laserdiscs contain 4:3 images.
However that wasn't the question I was trying to ask.

The EditDroid & TR47 sets contain 2.35 images letterboxed within a 4:3 frame,
while Gonzo, Farsight & Cowclops contain 2.35 images letterboxed within a 16:9 frame.
I'm confident dark_jedi's DC-derived set presents the films in their original aspect ratio, but that doesn't answer my question of whether or not the DVDs are anamporphic, or whether they've been IVTCed.
Those bits of info seem pertinent IMHO, considering the title of this thread.
On the other hand, the thread title does say "some specs" so one might argue it shouldn't contain all the specs.
NTSC or PAL ? (Please, noone tell me the DC source is NTSC -- I'm asking about the finished DVDs.)

Now that my 1138 torrent is finished I've begun to download d_j's Ep4 from a.b.sw, so I'll know the answer soon enough.
Afterwards, I'll still believe those bits ought to be added to the initial post for the benefit of others.
