An update on my jerky playback issues... I took the advice from the other posters here and burned Ep. 4 again but with Nero this time: still the same issues. I obtained Ep. 5 today and burned it with Nero, and voila, it worked perfectly. That leads me to believe that the problem with Ep. 4 is that my Sony player can't properly handle pure 24 fps video. Incidentally, my player recognized Ep. 5 as "True 24 fps" even though it was encoded at 23.976 fps. I'm glad you've decided to encode the rest of the movies this way (and hopefully go back to fix Ep. 4 one day?)

Is there any possibility of editing out the dance number in Jedi for the eventual release?

BandedJustice, I think the issue here is that Adywan has to use what's available in high-def. He can't go back to the old "Lapti Nek" version of the song because that version of the film has never been aired on HDTV. He can't just edit out the full song and go straight to the slave girl being dropped into the Rancor's dungeon either, because that would just be plain wrong. If you really want "Jedi Rocks" gone, you'll have to look at standard def options.

Oh respectfully, please let the dance number in the AVCHD release of Jedi.

Oldschooljedi, I think you're missing a word in your above statement... I can't quite tell if you're saying you want the "Jedi Rocks" dance number left in Jedi or if you don't want it, LOL.
