For anyone who is interested, I'm attempting a DOTD composite edit using the
DOTD ultimate box set. I started on friday night and am now about 38mins in.
I'm frameserving the original DVD MPEG's to premiere, then exporting that back to
MPEG using CCE-SP2 so there is only one re-encoding which should keep any
degredation in quality from the original DVD's to a minimum. I'm keeping it
16:9 anamorphic widescreen as per the original DVD's with one Dolby Digital 2.0
audio track. if/when it's relased it'll be as a DL DVD (to keep the quality as
high as possible) on bittorrent.

I remember reading somewhere that the german composite has shots found in
no other version of dawn, apart from the argento, extended & theatrical
cuts + document of the dead, can anyone else suggest where else i might look
for source footage?

Has anyone here got the dutch filmworks 2 disc DVD (with the argento & extended
versions)? I really liked the DVD menu look on that & wanted to use the same look
for my composite edit DVD menu but i only have the 3 DVD ultimate box set. if anyone
has & can capture pictures of the main menus & such from both DVDs and e-mail them
to me as BMP files, please PM me.
