Most ppl on here I've read bash em, so I never got them, since I already have the box set and I didn't want to pay $15 per disc for a "crappy" OOT transfer (assuming what I read was true). IDK, after readig that I figured they wouldn't be any better than my original VHS. I admit I never watched em (the GOUT), I only know what I read on here. I'd rather have the true OOT on DVD but from what I've read lucas hacked the releases last sept (plz fill me in if I'm incorrect), so I guess I figured I'd try this.

The SEs and OOT aren't on the same discs, they're on separate discs.
The DVDs are from the digital masters that were created for the Definitive Collection and "Faces" LDs from the 1990s. To my eyes, the DVDs look better than the LDs (sharper, clearer, less video noise) but some others say the difference is negligible.
But, I feel safe in saying that they're definitely a HUGE improvement over the VHS. The resolution of the DVDs has to be at least double that of the letterboxed VHS releases (plus the SW DVD has the original crawl, which the LD and VHS don't).
I'm not sure what you mean about them being "more messed up" than the OOT VHS.
I do know that the 1995 "Faces" VHS releases were the last (and probably best) of the VHS releases.
I think the OOT DVDs are the best releases of the OOT so far, that is until the X0 project and/or someone here finishes their '04/GOUT hybrid DVDs.
