Darth Editious: You misunderstand me--the technical description with bold titles in the first post is taken from the DVD itself. It is onscreen text when you go to "extras".
Ah, I see! Then this is getting curiouser and curiouser... I still can't shake the feeling that the accompanying text, particularly that about the video processing, was cobbled together from random sources by someone who didn't really know what it all meant.
Has anyone done a comparison of the cropping/geometry on this DVD and one of the captures that we know is sourced from the 1993 discs?
