I just put together a DVD that has legacy revealed, tech, GL on conan, and star wars shortened. unfortunately there were problems with my cap of the two history channel shows so i had to resort to using AVIs I found on the web, thus quality is not the best, but its still pretty good. i was going to make the disc available to people, but I say if you can get better or even HD caps of the history channel shows, then go for it. there were a few other shows i didnt get like the G4TV specials and an X-play special?? it could be interesting to make the BBC radio documentary into a video by creating some sort of permanent image or slideshow for the visual aspect. this could be done with the forcecasts as well. there is probably enough stuff to pad out a DL disc or make multiple releases


I probably have the same AVI files, plus I found SW at 30 on a.b.starwars. I'm not a big stickler quality wise, considering the shows are mostly just talking heads. About the X-play show, am I crazy in thinking that it was a repeat?

The image slide show for the audio files sounds like an interesting idea. I wouldn't know where to begin. Like I said, my experience making custom DVDS has been to take files and dump them into ConverXtoDVD. I've made a few Transformers DVDs. The reason I came here was to maybe get some advise about programs and such to make a DVD like some of the preservation projects I've seen. I've tried to learn things like making menus and I have some experience with TMPGnc. I just get confused about things like what fps to use, how to change PAL to NTSC, and how to use programs like AVIsynth. On top of that I have an older PC that hampers things. Eventually I just threw my hands in the air and went with ConverXtoDVD. With Star Wars I think I'm willing to go that extra mile and try to get a handle on some of these skills. Is anyone willing to take on a Padawan learner....

Do you think what I have listed would be too much for a SL disc? I usally go with SL discs because they are cheaper. If I can I'd like to stick with one disc, but I'm not opposed to spreading the content on two discs.
