Kris, your versions have 5.1? Why did you do this? That is an abuse just as much as making it anamorphic. I believe it's better to simply present the original 2.0 track the way TR-47 has done it, uncompressed. You could use the extra space of a dual-layer set for the comm and/or alternative tracks ripped from other LDs - but I think it would be better to just have the one 2.0 track in uncompressed PCM and use the rest of the space available for video. No menus just chapter stops, preferably the original ones on the LDs (even though I know there's a lot of them).

I hope this is what LaserMan does. I agree with you, making the video anamorphic is an abuse of the source material. Make it progressive, yes, make it anamorphic, no. There are DVD players on the market for these kind of people that will turn non-anamorphic video into anamorphic on the fly.
