Happy to report that the Xvid played on my standalone player with no problems - I was wondering because the file had a non-mod16 height, and was also encoded with a packed bitstream. (Gotta love Xvids, took 10 minutes to download, 5 minutes to burn on DVD+RW and I was ready to go! Going to get a 2GB SD card for next time, then I don't need to mess about burning discs.)

DRF-analyzer reports an average DRF of just over 4, which is ever-so-slightly on the high side. For a 1-CD rip, using a lower resolution such as 608 x 256 might have reduced the appearance of compression artefacts (at the expense of a reduction in fine detail, of course). However, it looks nicer when viewed on a CRT TV, which is more forgiving than an LCD display.

I love the little fixes - the receding view of the Star Destroyer through the escape pod porthole, the Death Star graphic during the rebel briefing. These are the things GL should have concentrated on, instead of adding puerile CGI slapstick. The Han-shooting-Greedo shot was a bit clumsy in version 1, this time it's much improved and flows really well.

Congratulations DE for making a watchable Special Edition!
