Ok question for the video experts in the audience. I've begun collecting material for an additional chapter. (2005 Fan Films vs TV/Movies which reference Star Wars) And as before, everything comes in it's own different package. (frame rate, video size, etc) So i'm looking for suggestions on how to proceed. In tBSWM everything was converted through various programs and the final working copy created by iMovie's import feature, which ended up with everything at 720x480 @ 30fps. For ease of reincorporation into the DVD this will also be the goal for this additional chapter. Except this time, i'd like to maintain aspect ratios, to preserve more of the original presentation's qualities. (black bars added where needed) The 30fps helps, since most sources are 24,25 no frame will be lost just addtional frames created. But...
Are there any tools which could with a certain level of ease, auto convert these sources, or will each source need separate attention to maintain AR? In anyone's opinion, is the full screen presentation essential to the video compilation?
Various other things have gone down: (Full lists of updates here)

Unfortunately, didn't realize how fast I talked in the first pass, so when proper dictionary diction is applied to the narrators statements they've gotten rather scrunched. So in 20XX be ready for the long-cut Trailer-00a2.
Created some Subway Posters:

Title 001 : Trifecta Mediascopic Pre-Release Events
Title 002 : Trifecta Mediascopic Release Day Events
Title 003 : Trifecta Mediascopic Post-Release Events
Each poster is composed of one frame from the C&D'd l337 Trailer, FBI/ICE Operation D-Elite Video & backstroke of the west RotS bootleg, recreated mosaic style from tBSWM frames. Pertinent frames enlarged and another layer of DVD info connected circuit board style. Here's a detail shot:
and that's complete and total serendipity that George Lucas and Darth Vader would make the 'K' in 'cock'. Don't believe, stand back 10 feet or squint really hard and the magic happens.
Couple other possibly interesting developments are under the works, progress of them can be read in the FAQ, but until they work out, their just more time sinks!
