msycamore for the question of the four different aspect ratio I would just leave exactly as it is for two reason

First because it's less work for you

Second and most importantly because we want to preserve the Italian version "as is", including the letterboxing choices.

Afterall we (us Europeans) will still have the PAL version in Disc 1 with correct widescreen so in my opinion it's best to leave it the way Italians choose to release it, with all four different aspect ratios. They are editing choices that we should leave untouched if we want to show THX as it was shown to Italians (and maybe other European countries too... if I can find a German or French tape to make sure).

That is my opinion at least. It seems to be the best choice for the project.

 Fully agree, less work and it preserves how it would have been seen in that time and location.

In other news, here is a concept i threw together for a possible cover, its just an idea so things are unfinished, i kept it all black and white to keep the front cover in line with the back cover images

Thoughts?
