Nice thing though is that they have a Dolby 5.1 Spanish and a Dolby 5.1 English, which wasn't the case with the previous Bluray set.  My bets are on these being the same exact mixes minus the language meaning the true vocal removal method may very well be possible.

Please to be elaborating.

It's some weird theory TMBTM, and I have  been trying to figure out in another thread, where if everything is exactly the same except the voices can you use that, to perfectly separate the voices from Music/SFX.  Neither of us, have figured it out how to get it to work properly, but for certain identical mixes for the score/SFX is necessary.  So far TMBTM did get the vocals to be twice as loud as before, so at the moment the use of noise removal processing is made much more possible.

Well, I did not actualy made the "vocal twice as loud as before". This is just something that could be done, in theory, IF the mixes are exactly the same.

I still did not find a way to remove languages, or even to get the music free of vocals, even if we have two exact same mixes (minus different languages). But of course it would make it easier to do experiences and maybe find a way.

EDIT: by the way if someone knows a DVD of a movie where two mixes are exactly 100%  the same frequencies, only with different languages I'd be interested to know about it.

What about DTS, though?

So it is 2011 version degraded to DVD format. I don't get the benefit of that.

Not everyone has a blu ray player.

I was under the assumption that there isn't a sane person who would prefer a few new stupid changes to 2004 version (which is already on DVD).

Sorry.

When making that statement, I was under the assumption that there isn't a sane person who would prefer a few new stupid changes to 2004 version (which is already on DVD).

The 2004 dvd's are out of print, right?  So this is I guess the only way you can buy a dvd if you need one.

So...no more 'creepy puppet Yoda' on this latest 'Episode I' DVD release then?

The question is, are these the 2004 OT, 1999/2002/2005 PT versions re-packaged yet again or the 2011 Blu Ray versions but on DVD??

They seem to be the 2011 Blu-ray versions russs15, as the PAL dvd of 'Episode I' now features the 'digital' Yoda for instance.  Strangely, these latest dvd releases don't even bother to flag up the fact that they are the 'up-to-date' versions on the UK packaging in any way.

I really wished that Lucas went full "Tragedy of Anakin Skywalker" with these sets and put Anakin on the cover of the prequel sets.

Laugh? Cry? Or just kill ourselves now?
