I heard from some reviewers online for the 2001: SpaceOdyssey DVD that the film-to-dvd transfer wasn't very well done, and they were more impressed with the Laserdisc transfer that came out before. I looked the DVD over again--the scenes at the space station seemed a little blurry--Some Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite star fields didn't show up as much as I thought they were meant to (can't be sure, haven't seen anything, but the DVD). In the pan up just before the star gate, the star field doesn't show at all, then suddenly grows in brightness--like we're supposed to appreciate it just before it disappears after the star gate begins to open.

I figured one day getting together a project to capture the laserdisc transfer and put that on DVD--(with the alternate Alex North score that was mentioned) and giving the film a more impressive DVD menu than what was released. Thing of it is I don't have a means of capturing it...XO guys wanna collaborate?
