Allright, I got some time to think while my head was in my oven and I came to a few conclusions and updates:

1. I own an electric oven

2. In regards to Devilman's project, I'd like to know how he syncs WYWH up with 2001 so maybe I could steal the idea, ahh just kidding, i'll stick with Ummagumma and atom heart mother; but I fully acknowledge his project's right to exist and only hope both our projects might prove to be a bit of competition for each other in terms of quality and interest (so far, in terms of interest, he's winning).

3. I will be reencoding all of the audio from the three original films into stereo. For 2001 this would recreate the experience in theaters. For A Clockwork Orange and The Shining, since their 5.1 remixes have been described as just "real clean mono," this will not offer much of a difference besides not hearing much sound in the back. This also might give my project a bit of legal protection since--as Devilman put it--the films have not been altered at all, and I'm offering the original version on a fan DVD. Uh oh! If there is enough adversity to reencoding the audio, just let me know and I'll offer the option between 5.1 and stereo on two different versions of the DVD set.

4. The Shining will have about 38 pixels cropped off both the top and the bottom to recreate the 16:9 aspect it was originally in--funnily enough you can still see that helicopter shadow in the beginning after it's cropped. I had to do some math to get the right amount of pixels to cut, but if anyone knows if cropping 38 pixels isn't correct to create 16:9 just let me know.

5. I have Syd Barret's "Opel," Wendy Carlos "Discovering Lost Scenes" vol 1, Pink Floyd's "Obscured by Clouds." All from meedermow, I still need Alex North's original score, The complete Original Wendy Carlos ACO score, some other appropiate work by Wendy Carlos to fill out some dialogue driven spots in ACO, and possibly the original score of ACO for the Grammaphone recordings if I finally decide to make an orchestral score to ACO or not--which will also require some help to get the very best orchestral recordings of Wendy Carlos' tracks for ACO.

6. Oh yeah! I need help with the avisynth exporter plugin for Premiere. I can't seem to find one that will match version 2.56--at least I think it's the version that's running me into problems. If anyone can help that'd be great. Thanks
