"Hey, it was free!".
But seriously, the purpose of my DUNE edit was not to replace or preserve a high quality version of DUNE (go to Amazon.com for that).
That edit was only meant to demonstrate to fellow DUNE fans how MCA could have used a bit of editing skill and some new blue eye animation to have made a better version with the footage they have in the vaults. As we have seen in this last DVD release, MCA Video just don't care to put any effort at all into giving the fans a decent extended edit of that film. The FanFiltration edit was taken from a 1980's Pan and Scan laserdisc (The print looks like crap to start with), and a PAL format DVD (converted to NTSC) of the T.V. version that I feel may be far from an official print (via Ebay). Sorry, but I was not going to just go out and obtain pristine prints and some high quality media equipment just to splice together a conversation piece that I would not profit from in any way. This is a "Fan" edit meant for simple FREE trade and film education. It's not a Laserdisc preservation or product for mass distribution at a profit.
DUNE was my first distributed project, and I enjoyed making it. After that edit was done, I made some investments in better video editing programs and a much better video and AC-3 encoder. Now that I got the hang of things, I believe people have seen some much better video / laserdisc transfers done by me on my later projects like "Banned Bond" and "Star wars: Making Magic DVD".
But still, thanks for the input.
