Ironically, I've gotten over a dozen PM's requesting a copy of my 2-disc special edition of Into Darkness on DVD, after the only comments on the main board were that recoding all the HD material down to do a SD burn of all the material was probably a waste of time and I should “rethink my strategy” -- but if I wanted to make one just for my own personal use, go right ahead. ;-)

I've now privately shared my project with several people on here. I hope I'm not coming across as too anal because I don't want to torrent my project on a public site. My suggestion for others who got a copy from me would be to simply copy the discs again and share with your friends and family, or upload my project yourself and share with as many people as you want on this site.

Looking back in hindsight, Disc 1 does suffer a bit from having to compress two versions of a two hour movie on a single disc, though its still watchable. Probably the best course of action would have been to do a three disc DVD special edition of Into Darkness, with Disc 1 simply being a copy of the “bare bones” retail DVD release, Disc 2 being the iTunes enhanced commentary vesion of the movie, and Disc 3 being the bonus material like all the trailers and Blu-Ray featurettes. I could also always do a “Version 2.0” release of my special edition, though I'm in no rush at the moment since the quality is fairly satisfactory to watch on a small screen (except for some moments where there's lots of fast paced movement like the chase through Nibiru) Like many of you, I'm still hoping for a definitive Blu-Ray compilation of all the bonus material in HD. My project was created on Nero, so there were some limitations and I wasn't able to do things I'd like such as add subtitles that can be switched on and off.

Thanks to everyone for all the interest and feedback, though. I'm still open to private trades.
