Well, seems like I haven't missed much here, other than some dirty socks and other debates which probably belong on other corners of the internets.
Sure, it's been argued to death that some of the changes might not affect the story too much, perhaps, and even that the movies are still generally "close enough" blah blah blah, but to say that it doesn't change the film is silly. To each their own. This is obviously not the place to have that debate.
The fact that in 2006, they could not have even done an SD transfer in proper "anamorphic" widescreen is a little sad. I wonder if they didn't just take some existing bootleg and make new menus.
Regarding menus, I might have a very tiny amount of time this week to attempt a test with Arcsoft, which is what came with my burner. Don't see any way to add options for audio track selection though - other software might have better options there.
The more I look at this, the more challenging it looks to create exactly what's envisioned.
