At the moment I only made test captures of the two vhs-tapes from the first movie. ESB and ROTJ will be captured later. I need to get my SVHS-Recorder back from service. I just haven't had time yet to get it back. After that and after some capture calibration everything will be captured again.
So for now I can post both Fullscreen and Widescreen - German Title Crawls from the first movie. You need audio, too? Which format (they are captured with Huffyuv-Codec) you want me to post them? With Huffyuv they have over 700MB each! I can run it through CCE-SP and post a MPEG-2 PAL Videoclip.
Be patient and you will get 3 really nice Dual Layer DVDs to download.
@MeBeJedi:
It depends which soundtrack you got from SoundTrackMaster. The THX 95 Laserdisc Soundtrack is crap if you ask me, at least for ANH. But it should be featured nethertheless.
@boba feta:
That was the idea. Squeesh the Full Frame to anamorphic widescreeen and combine it with a OUT-DVD (made anamorphic, too). But if I get a better picture quality from the 1993 laserdiscs, I will better use them of course. But at the moment I am still searching for a good laserdisc player.
@vigo:
sharing was no problem for me. you are welcome. i am living in austria, next to germany.

I have compared every frame from the VHS Silver Screen Collection as well as the VHS Widescreen 1993 Release to the X0-Timecode Release. The problem seems to be, both tapes seems to be missing some frames. I don't mean the capture but the vhs-source. Sometimes only the Widescreen is missing 2-3 frames, sometimes only the Silver Screen Collection misses some, manytimes both of them. We are talking about ~70 Frames in total each. So to keep the audio in sync with the picture, I will need to get rid of those missing frames in the videotrack I want to use (X0/OUT). But as far as I know there is no way to get two (or three) of those "edits" on one disc. So the easy way would be 3 releases of each movie. One with the audio from the SilverScreenCollection, one with the audio from the 93-Widescreen Release and one with the thx-audio from 95. But as I noted before, the SilverScreenCollection and 93-Widescreen sound like each other, so two releases with identical audio would be a little redundant.
I haven't checked it yet, but my guess is, that the THX 1995 Tapes have the exact same edit as the NTSC-DC/Faces-Laserdiscs.
Don't know anything about differences in ESB/ROTJ yet.
Sorry for the bad english to everyone!
