Great work MeBeJedi. I knew you could do it. I've been at this off and on for two years and you have surpassed my efforts. I made the mistake of capturing mine with S-Video cable which introduced dot crawl everywhere. I may try that dot crawl removal filter, but I plan to recapture and start from scratch. Also, your menus and everything blow mine away.

I do want to pass on what I did concerning the slideshows on from the DC LD's. I didn't like how you kept having to press the step or forward button to change the pictures. So, what I did is capture all of the pictures while I pressed the button. I tried to wait around 5 seconds each time. What I did then, was use Virtual Dub and edit the capture file where each picture was 1 frame. I also split each group of pictures by subject, i.e. Droids, etc. I then used a photo editor to get rid of the interference that appeared at the bottoms of some of the pictures. Finally, I loaded the pictures into DVD-Lab which has a slideshow creation function where you can set the duration and other settings. I know other software can do this as well.

I put all of the slideshows on my extras disc which is divided into 3 sections. Each section is dedicated to one of the films. I used IFO Edit to create a Play All button since DVD-Lab didn't have that back then. I think they are supposed to make that function available in the future. My DVD is designed so that you can play one of the slideshows or all of them. I gave the slideshows their own submenus. I also divided the interviews up in a similar fashion. The only thing I didn't do was correct the volume level of them. I plan to do that next time since the volume of the interviews is inconsistent.

Just thought I would pass that along.
