1 thing I noticed right off the bat is this,where you did the 5.1 upmix on the TV scenes you should of boosted the speech volume,it is waaaay lower than the normal scenes,very drastic,especially on a high end sound system(so for me,this is not good,but that is me,maybe noone else cares),and I want to look at the picture more,it does look a little soft,but I will look more into that tomorrow.

But hey,you did the work and that’s cool,but the sound level problem alone is enough to keep me on the original sound(not the 5.1),hopefully no level drops there,I have not checked that out yet,will tomorrow.

The 4:3 menu’s are pretty cool,why not 16:9 menu’s?

The extra scenes are dialogue only, so I used other dialogue-only scenes as a reference for sound levels.  Dialogue is on the center channel only, where it’s supposed to be for 5.1 (I didn’t spread it on all the other channels like some people do).  The center levels are the same.  All that’s on the other channels is ambience.

Theatrical THX DVD is soft compared to the Divimax.  That’s why I wish we’d get a Cundey-approved Blu-Ray.

I didn’t use a 16:9 menu because in my experience, encoding a DVD-R with a 4:3 motion menu tends to cause less problems with most standalone DVD players.

UPDATE: Gotten feedback from tons of people who have downloaded it from Demonoid and MiniNova, and not a single one of them have had a complaint about softness, nor do they have any audio problems on the 2.0 or the 5.1.  And as far as “Custom DVD vs. Fan Edit” goes, there’s a ton of edits on FanEdit.org that have just one or two scenes stuck in them (like ADigitalMan’s “Superman: The Movie” and “The Wizard of Oz”) that are considered “Fan Edits” even though they don’t have the work put into them that this one does.

You’re just trying to create trouble, Dark Jedi.  And I think we all know why.

LOL like I don’t know what I am talking about

You’ve proven repeatedly that you don’t.  And your trolling is exactly why you got banned from Fanedit.org.  So nice try! But hey, since you’re a proven pederast it pretty much nullifies anything you say (sort of like the people that defend The Last Jedi).
