Star Wars Standard Play Collection - FINISHED-
Star Wars 97 Special edition VHS Fullscreen -FINISHED-
Star Wars "First Issue" -FINISHED-
Star wars Special Widescreen Edition (including fixed and non-fixed SW) - Capping Now -( I am aslo capping this set and others after with the Pioneer CLD-79 Elite,the other player has retired,also using other software including but not limited to,CCE,BeSweet,Adobe Encore,and AviSynth.)
