When I get to the end of Side A, the last visible frame is the one I make my end cut at.  Beginning of Side B, the first visible scene I mark and then go all the way to the end of that side and again cut the last visible scene I see.

I'm recording 1 side at a time and then I go back and trim each one separately so I can put them all together at the end.

Is that confusing?  I think I lost myself......LMAO

It also depends on your source. The side breaks are different between the SW Def. Col. and the THX Faces set. They break at the same parts, but the audio carries on past the video on one of the sets (I don't recall which). This was especially apparent when Alderaan is destroyed.

The Special Edition seems to be no different in regards to this....it's like 1/2 a frame during the scene I described above when Luke leaves Dagobah in Empire. 

What is the best way to deal with this if you don't mind me asking?  Maybe there is someone here who knows the frame count for each side that might be able to shed some light on how far to go or not to go.
