Hmm, so now I'm thinking a re-edit synced with the DVD 5.1 audio track and the extra bits upmixed... must.... not.... start... new... project.

Hmmmmmmmmm..... sounds intriguing

But man, you have no idea how many times I've kicked that around while I had all the files on my PC, but it was an MPEG. THEN I thought well I could use the DVD and attempt to completely re-make the ABC TV cut using the extra footage on the second DVD and also replicate the commercial fade-outs and in's and use them as the chapters (like I did) add the isolated soundtrack (Man, I really should have wrote down the marker cues from "Wizard People" or at least save a project file!!) I had to end up using some DL'd MP3's as the used CD (complete score CD's please!!) I bought WOULD PLAY but I could only rip a few songs off it (lots of minor scuffs so I need to get another CD) - THEN I thought that I could rip my Philosopher’s Stone DVD and use the correct title instead & add the Philosopher’s Stone trailers (I did add those!) then release it as the proper extended version!

Sadly I don't have the HD room or the skills to edit a film...
