From what i have found out the pre special edition, THX version DVD's have both a widescreen version of the films and the full screen on the same disc. Wonder if they are letterbox or anamorphic, according to what i read these were Dual Layer DVD's and something of a novelty at the time. Of course now all DVD's or mostly all are DL.

I wonder if they are anamorphic, or if they are just the laserdisc video ported over. The Special Editions came out later.

As said earlier in the thread, I have all of these except TSWLM. All have anamorphic transfers on one layer. Moonraker rotted(!) but the others are fine. Watched bits of them a couple weeks ago, and they hold up on a modern flat screen.

I would love to see these THX discs! Can you tell us what bit rate they use?

Just for the record, my copy of the "Moonraker" Special Edition started to show signs of rot over a year ago. My "Goldfinger" now has rot related errors too. So it's not just the THX series with these problems.
