The problem with that is the ABC broadcast was 720p.  I would need to get a hold of the BD's (or recoded source since I don't have a BD drive) of the Theatrical and Extended cuts and then reconstruct the edit.

Also, since AFAIK there is still no NLE for HD content all cuts would have to be done in avisynth.  That was how I started and I was juggling a half dozen nested scripts with loads of trim+trim+trim...etc.

When Womble goes HD, I'll consider it. ;)

Final Cut, Premiere Pro, Avid, and Vegas all do HD.

Sometime down the road (read: when I have a shit-ton more money and time), when I have a Blu-Ray drive, I'll probably try to do this, if only because I'd really like these in the highest quality I possibly can.

I'd also need to figure out how to edit in 5.1, and how to keep the 5.1 lossless/uncompressed throughout, since releasing an edit in 1080p BD-25 while including nothing but 2.0 audio seems like a wasted opportunity.
