- Actual Runtime is 2:32:22 it just ran in a 4 hour block (with ads and such)

And wasn't there some talk about an ABC-cut of "Chamber of Secrets" as well? What's the film's runtime there?

- Yep, I finished it that on on May 23rd and the actual runtime is 2:47:41

Another question on the ABC edit... what's the quality like?

- It's fair, if you read back into the post you'll see the source and capture method

Is it regular pan and scan or was it broadcast in OAR in HD?

- It;s pan and scan and I have no idea how it was broadcast in HD (I have a 19" Linytron TV so HD is about 5-6 years away for us)

I also would like to to second the run time question...

- Actual Runtime is 2:32:22

did he add in more deleted scenes that weren't available to you?

- I'm not sure what you mean be "did he add in" or "scenes that weren't available to you?"... But if you mean "he" as in Chris Columbus then yes he did add in more scenes and being it was his movie he had a whole lot more avaliable footage then ANY of us

- These can be considered the "EXTENTED DIRECTORS CUTS" and there were rumors that they MAY release official and proper Director's Cuts but who knows.

ALSO, as a little FYI - ADM's "edits" are more or less reconstructions of the TV cuts as that is what inspired him to do them.
