Have the 'one last time' 1995 Laser Discs been converted to DVD?

I know that the Definitive Collection Laser Discs have been converted to DVD, but does anyone know if the ‘Last time to get the original versions’ Laser Discs have been converted to DVD? These are the ones with Vader, Stormtrooper and Yoda on the covers. If they have been, is there any difference in sound or picture quality? Since these were the last time the original versions were available, I thought the films had some restoration on picture and sound prior to the 97 Special Editions. I could be wrong.

The 7 disc DVD set floating around uses those as the masters. They look pretty decent actually. The brightness is up too high, but if you lower it, the picture is actually really good. I have a 27" HDTV and it's more than enjoyable on it. I think the supplement disc is cut short, but it's a great mix of the definitive collection's features and the 1995 release's fidelity.

EDIT: The author uses a set which has some kind of line on the screen during the Mynock scene in ESB. Other than that, no other anomalies exist to my knowledge.

The Faces set and the Definitive Collection use the exact same master for the both of the sets - you can get this info from - here and here also

THE WIDESCREEN EDITION details -

• RELEASE DATE: 1989

A power loss at one of the terminals will allow the ship to leave."). The film is spread over 3 sides of 2 Extended-Play CLV discs and is housed in a gatefold jacket

THE FACES SET details -

I hope this helps!

Like Rikter said, the THX (faces) set uses the same transfer as the Definitive laserdiscs. It's the same films, the same sound mix. The only difference between them is the Definitive LDs are CAV (3 discs per film) and the THX LDs are CLV (2 discs per film.) CAV is known as standard play and CLV is known as extended play. Without going into details, CAV is typically considered to be better.

"It's the same films, the same sound mix."

There are actually a few trivial and isolated instances.

I guess my earlier post didn't go through. One example I can think of off the top of my head is the DS explosion in ANH. It's at the disc-flip on the Def. Col., but the explosion continues after the screen goes black. On the Faces set, the explosion goes right into the next scene with Luke and Ben on the MF. This is one of the scenes I remember having to edit the audio to get it to sound similar to the Faces set. The other scene I can remember is when Vader walks out to the MF on the DS, right after it's been captured - there's about a half-second difference that had to be cut out.

Hey, what can I say? I was bored, and wanted to see (hear?) how well they lined up with each other....
