From THE BURNING laserdisc? Sounds a bit suss since Paramount put out SCREAM GREATS. Are you sure this isn't from the Dutch (?) DVD of DAY OF THE DEAD? I'd be interested to know in the quality and whether or not its an NTSC->PAL conversion. You or meedermow might wanna compare it to the screengrabs here:

I'm positive the cassette versions that Tom Savini sells are ones he has personally recorded off the laserdisc. I've done my own DVDR from the laserdisc but I haven't put it through any filters. Just SVIDEO in and then rendered it out at the maximum bitrate.
Eitherway, I'm happy for this to see some kinda release. Especially since Ash595 did up a wonderful cover a few pages back. And then maybe even Savini himself can start selling the DVDs at conventions, rather than the tapes. Not for profit, of course...

I'll send you a copy of the DVD version if you like. It is definitely part of The Burning release - as the menu is seen at one point. The person who made the original conversion didn't start a new chapter - he just started the Scream Greats segment playing when the movie finished. I picked it up from a trader on-line last year so I don't know the exact source.
