Hi gang, My first post here. SOme of you might know me from AVSforum. I will be working on a new edit for this film and it will be in HIGH DEFINITION. We have the theatrical version in glorious 2.35:1 1080i from HDNet Movies and it blows the DVD away. For the additions we will use the new DVD and likely the last two deleted scenes, all upconverted to 1080i.

All editing will be done in Final Cut Pro and the ultimate release will be available in 1080i and also as a duel layer DVD for those of you with no HD capabilities.

Currently we are in the research stage and will be in that stage for some time. Do not expect a finished product until at least year's end. We do not want to F this up.

I was going to attempt a STAR WARS Trilogy edit, but now that I have discovered this place maybe I do not need to? I've been reading here for HOURS and I still have no idea what version I should get.

I want Duel Layer and PCM sound. AC3 conversion loses far too much quality. That is why I used the PCM from the laserdiscs for my own personal Star Wras Trilogy DVD edit, using the CAV LD's sourced from a tweaked Pioneer CLD-97 and then converted to anamorphic. This was before DUel Layer, so I made them two diskers. COmpresing to a single layer would have been terrible.

Any advice?
