Adywan,

In regards to your decision to assemble TESB:R in HD 720p, Are you still planning to release this as a standard DVD as well?

I ask for two reasons -

1 Distribution

Given that ANH:R clocked in around the 7GB mark and a lot of people are still only getting their hands on it now, Just how are people going to get a much larger video out and about?

2 Compatibility

By this point everyone has a dvd player, But how many people really have the setup for High Definition content? Especially in a loungeroom setup.

As a sidenote, Just how noticeable is the quality between 576p and 720p on a movie as badly treated as the star wars films have been? This is a serious question, I'm not trying to ba a smartass.

I have a great interest in HD, I'm just wondering if it is all worth it. I'm hoping it's certainly not akin to a white elephant. If my comments seem out of place, by all means put me on the right track [Adywan].

a 720P mkv file should weigh in at around 4.4GB.

I have a pc hooked up to my HDTV which makes it easy to watch anything.

From what I've heard from peeps that saw the high def version on Sky it was a big improvement on the dvd release.
