I see you sucking up to those people providing you stuff for free, and dissing those people who you now consider of no use to you. Making covers is creative and difficult, but it's not nearly as creative and difficult as making a top-notch LD preservation (which you'd know if you'd ever tried it). And the X0 Project Zion is part of is as top-notch as top-notch gets.

I am very much looking forward to the day when the X0 Project trumps any official release. Which I am now sure it can, and will (especially since it now has access to the GOUT discs in addition to all its other sources). I know you say you're satisfied with the GOUT release, but you'll be curious to compare, and I believe you'll have a tough time finding a sympathetic audience for your continued support of the GOUT as best-in-show.

I imagine if Lucas ever put out a collection of alternate DVD covers, you'd find another "creative" group to kiss up to, tossing cover makers in the bin along with LD preservationists, eh?
I meant no offence. I do have respect for Zion, as I've explained.

As you can see, the picture doesn't go all the way to the sides on the NTSC version, and there's some slight distortion over the picture (introduced from compression next to the black borders) which is eliminated when the picture goes all the way to the sides, it seems to have affected the left-hand-side more then the right. These are both within the "tv safe" area anyway, so on a CRT Telle you won't see it anyway... but it's there. On a projection unit, plasma, or lcd you will see it, and the picture won't go all the way to the side of the frame. Many DVD's are like this though.
