I also have the widescreen vhs and it is indeed the theatrical cut of the phantom menace, i have the japan laserdisc. I have a hongkong boot dvd mastered from the laserdisc and another mastered form the widescreen vhs.

I also have the 3 disc super vcd theatrical telecine of attack of the clones missing the end titles, and of course i have the Zion edition theatrical boot of revenge of the sith.

Any way I could get a link to wherever you got those bootlegs from?

the sound mix on the laserdisc is simply phenomenal even when played back simply in stereo, i am sure someone with the equipment to decode dolby digital ex would agree. I'm going on memory here but as far as listening to the laserdisc goes as far as i can tell this is the theatrical mix, much more dynamic than the remix 5.1 on the dvd.

Do you have some way to record the 6.1 track on the laserdisc?

Also, anyone know where to get the TB release? I asked the people who made the screenshots for that comparison adywan posted, they said it was the TB release and that it's probably on OT forums...
