ESB:

- The hotline recordings are really cool, nice addition!
- Picture looks fantastic, as expected
- All audio tracks sync perfectly
- The chapter issue I mentioned with Star Wars is also present in Empire
- The cave scene issue from your V1 set (never got V2, so I don't know how well it was fixed for that) is simply not there at all, it looks just as good as the rest of the film

ROTJ:

- Same chapter issue
- All audio mixes sync just fine
- Picture seems a wee bit bright, but I'm thinking that's just the GOUT and I'm not remembering correctly (Jedi is the one I watch least of the trilogy, so I don't have the same frame of reference I have for the other two).
- Again, subtitles are perfect!

I also figured you'd like to know that I checked out the subtitles for Star Wars and Jedi on my old, standard-def 20" Toshiba CRT, and no letters or punctuation are lost in the overscan, it's all there and looks great.

I blush... :) IMO they aren't but I am really satisfied with them, the true original ones have actually much tighter spacing, but I had to compromise in order to get the position and the overall look of the letters as close as possible, something that was impossible if I did the spacing between letters more accurate as the font I used isn't entirely identical. It's nice to hear that they also seem to be CRT-friendly.

I think the Empire hotline recordings are a nice fitting extra you have included, d_j. :)
