Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the NTSC DL transfer after finally burning to DL media and watching on my CRT set. I have to say that this is, IMHO, the best transfer to date (and I have ALL of them). So, bravo to you, Citizen! Also, a big shout out to segaflip for getting it to us.

The only thing that I feel could be improved is from an authoring standpoint. The text buttons on the extras menu are partially outside of the title safe area (along with your avatar and text on the main menu). The text buttons on the right are cropped. I know, it's from the overscan. But this really should be considered in the creation phase of menus. It's just good authoring etiquette. I've had to redo menus of mine before due to making this same mistake. The menu will look great in Photoshop and then when I build the menu in DVD Studio Pro, the title safe overlay lets me know that it won't work . Obviously, on a computer or a projector this isn't an issue. Unfortunately, not everyone is lucky enough to have a nice DLP projector (including me). I believe the majority of people watching this will be watching on old-fashioned TV's, although I could be wrong.

This is intended as constructive criticism and I hope this issue will be taken in to consideration for the creation of the menus for ESB and ROTJ Once again, GREAT JOB!!!
