Hey guys, I'm fairly new so feel free to tell me off if I rant too much or am posting in the wrong place. :)

I've just started working on an HD special edition project for my projector, in the same vein as Harmy's outstanding work with his Despecialized Editions (which provided the inspiration for a personal 1080p OUT I made for watching with my girlfriend earlier this year, so I am experienced with this sort of work).

I've also had a play with the ANH and ROTJ DTS sound tracks which I've downloaded from usenet and 5.1'd up for a test listen, and they sound great, I must say!

Are there any of the sources previously mentioned available anywhere? I've got the Reivax and Flunk-Reivax hybrid, and I own and have captured the NTSC and PAL laserdisc sets at a reasonable quality; I figure a properly IVTC'ed capture of the NTSC laserdiscs with no dropped frames is probably the best standard to use as a sync source, what do guys you think?
