But note: converting a retail DVD from letterboxed to anamorphic does not come under the umbrella of "preservation" or "fan editing". Although Jay, Zion and I are still discussing changes to the site rules, it is likely that discussions about how to customize your own DVDs will be allowed, but discussions about distribution (torrents, etc.) of such DVDs won't be.

Thank you for the links, but those threads still don't announce wether or not anyone will actually pursue making them anamorphic when they come out. Is anyone thinking of attempting to?
Yeah, I probably will, and I'm sure many others will convert their copies too.Thank you for the links, but those threads still don't announce wether or not anyone will actually pursue making them anamorphic when they come out. Is anyone thinking of attempting to?

I like this approach. I even support making the optional audio tracks available with instructions on how to mux them into your official DVD. It would be nice if the PCM audio, the mono mix, the music-only mix and any LD commentaries were preserved and made available, synched to the length of the official disc, and a thread with how to DIY could tell everybody what they can do if they are so inclined.
Power to the masses!
