I agree wholeheartedly. I'm kind of excited to finish the conversion so I can start on the fan edit.
I've also added a new level of obsessiveness to this project - I've gone back to my idea of emulating the retail disc exactly. Unfortunately, the menu audio is (mostly) subject to the 4% speedup as well.
So I'm going through and testing each menu to make sure that the audio is, in fact, at the wrong pitch, and if it is, I'm fixing it.
I've also decided that there will be two releases - one that emulates the Region 1 retail disc 1 exactly (the FBI warning will be replaced with a disclaimer of my own), that will be dual-layered, with any and all speed issues fixed (menus included); and a single-layer, bare-bones release that will include just the movie itself.
Note that the main feature's video will be 100% exactly the same between the two, as the retail DVD-9 video fits snugly on a single layer anyway.
So, with that in mind, I pose a question to those that are interested in this: Would you download the DVD-9, with all retail menus and features, or the DVD-5, with just the main feature and the 4 audio tracks/2 subtitle tracks?
(Also, I haven't checked to see if the music tracks are subject to the 4% speedup or not; if not, only the main feature's audio tracks and the menu audio will be adjusted - all the other extra features were created at 25fps from the beginning, so there's no reason to adjust them.)
