Unless it was heavily compressed. I don't think it would be that disagreeable for a documentary, especially if VBR were used. We'll just have to try it both ways and see.

Sorry, the FULL original quote was three posts above mine. It was about sending discs of the artwork scans free of charge to five people on the condition that they all created at least one DVD cover and posted it here.

Ooh, a laserdisc. The Cheat's playin' something on a laserdisc.
Everything is better on a laserdisc. Whatever happened to the laserdisc? Laserdisc!

I think it's been said (possibly by me), but a DVD news site is reporting the rumor of the Frighteners DVD being a DVD18.
Though it has also been suggested that it will be a DVD18 in the UK with a Double DVD set in the U.S. Either way they are talking 2 dual layers no matter how they package it.

Sounds like they could do it all if they wanted...

I did some more work tonight:

- made thumbnails of all the scans (16)
- made a "spotting guide" to show how the scans go together
- burned a disc with the scans, thumbs, and guide for segaflip (will be in the mail tomorrow)
- burned a disc with the raw & processed AC-3 files for MeBeJedi
- packaged up the LDs and the AC-3 disc (will be in the mail tomorrow)

My part of the project is coming to an end. Hope you all will think I've done a good job. Also hope I'll qualify for a copy of the finished product!

Ahh... Good to hear the postal system is working as it should.

All of you who are running off to a.b.starwars to d/l the scans, please let me know what you think!

I just read that the 4-hour supplementary material is, in fact, going to be on the DVD to be released near the end of November. I guess this is bittersweet, but should we complete this beast anymore? We have come a long way.

EDIT: I just re-read it, and nowhere is the commentary mentioned, so I think the project would be worth completing at least for that. It is a pretty great commentary.

I used to be very active on this forum. I’m not really anymore. Sometimes, people still want to get in touch with me about something, and that is great! If that describes you, please email me at [my username]ATgmailDOTcom.

Hi everybody. You’re all awesome. Keep up the good work.

I would like to see this completed. I'm sure somewhere something will be left out that the laserdisc has.

Well, with how minorly or majorly shoddy official DVD releases can be (as we all know), I am still excited about this project.
We don't have enough road to get up to 88.

This from TheDigitalBits.com:

By the way, while we still have no official word on the extras on Universal's The Frightners: Peter Jackson's Director's Cut (also 11/29), we do know that the disc will include more than four hours worth of bonus material produced by Jackson himself.

I would have much preferred a two disc release rather than a single flip disc. I HATE, HATE, HATE flip discs.

Yeah, looks like Region 1 won't be getting the 3-disc set, so I guess the LD will have to do.
