segaflip & DarkGruson should be receiving my XviD ANH transfer very soon, my NTSC DL DVD of ANH is virtually complete apart from a couple of minor menu additions, so if all goes well over the weekend I'll have the first burned copy on Monday (then I get to do the menu crap all over again for the PAL version... not difficult, just tedious)

Doctor M, ready to bin your 'wheel rebuild' of Moth3r's ANH yet?


In the process of putting the Definitive Collection extras onto the DVD I learnt a couple of new video processing tricks, the one I used for the trailers was that you can cut up a piece of footage into two parts, encode the first as interlaced, the 2nd half do 3:2 pulldown removal then encode as progressive then use pulldown.exe to add the 3:2 pulldown flags, then join the two m2v files together and you have a 'hybrid' NTSC mpeg file that when played on an NTSC tv you get interlaced footage that changes to 3:2 pulldown footage, whilst on a PC with a software player you get interlaced footage that changes to progressive footage.
The other was an easy way of extracting out the slideshow images from captured footage and rebuilding them into a new video clip.


BTW, all this time I've been working on the NTSC DL DVD I've had a no-frills PAL SL DVD I made month ago I've been watching far too much.
