This is nice of both of you.  Looking forward to seeing the other half.

Note, especially with digital bootlegs there is information in the original which could be useful.  Digital forensics could learn something which might be lost as the files are modified.  Also original dates are important. 

But, if there is need to modify the original so be it.  Beggers can't be choosers.  And there is some value in modifying.  As the technology involved in some of these versions is not being supported by current computing.  I ran into problems playing several of the VCDs.  To get the screen caps, needed to jump though a few hoops to work with the files.  Had contemplated converting them to the DVD format as that format might last a little longer.  But the idea was to convert them only to the point that the original and this modified version would fit onto whatever media was chosen.  So AotC-ctp is 3 VCD's at 2.5 GB so the modified and the original could possible fit on a DVD5.  I held off on doing this as i'm not too adept with the aspect ratio thing (which I would like to correct) and interest is hard to guage.
