Without getting into full details of the edit (no point) I can say that the movies are spread over two-discs each with basic static menus, Dolby 5.1 and anamorphic video. As for my overall impression of the edits, they seem to be the work of a first time editor with some good ideas but the majority of the cuts seem to have been done using simple frame cutting. The effects of those edits make it seem like the disc was skipping full chapters at points and in the end I personally could not get past these rough edits and lack of proper a/v swipes (which left residual audio and video glitches) so I had to call it quits after the third disc. A good first attempt but it left a lot to be desired (and uncut) but I do look forward to other LOTR edits!
