EDIT
I just tried it, gives me much better speed and the files get build while downloading them, thanks, sorry everyone for the off-topic posts, this was the last one.

Though I am looking forward to seeing one of the Faces LD to DVD transfers, for the sake of completeness.

Can't yet give a very critical review. The picture is fairly nice on my version. A curious wavy-pixellation thing during the darker sequences that is likely the result of the compression down to 4.7GB (I assume), but still, this is probably the cleanest transfer currently in existence. It's the first time I've really been able to sit and watch the OT since the SEs came out, and I'm re-discovering my love for certain things while appreciating some of George's changes at the same time. Mos Eisley is too doggone busy in the SE and I am now appreciating the original version in this entire sequence because of the sparseness. Smugglers could really hide out there, just like in some no-name Mexican town. The sparseness serves the story better. And in Jedi, I still love Lapti-Nek and roll my eyes at Yub Nub.

this is going to sound quite bolshie but I honestly can't see how you can say a DVD5 version looks the same as a DVD9 version when you are using a PCM soundtrack.
if you've put the original PCM capture audio track on a DVD5, that means you are giving up around 1.2-1.3GB of disc space to the audio. that's a 3rd of the discs capacity which means you have around a 3GB M2v encode file.
on a DVD9 you've got about 8GB useable, something must be up if you've encoded a DVD9 version and it looks no better than a DVD5 encode. seriously
unless you are using a DVD9 DL disc, admirable as it is to retain the original PCM file, you are giving up a lot of space on a DVD5 single layer disc to sound and not picture. parituclarly when you can get a 300mb ac3 file instead.

Surely all the hard work comes before the encoding - same source AVI not matter what the destination. Or am I missing the point?
You could just spread the VOB files over two DVD5s for distribution and let people put them back together on to a DVD9 and burn them themselves.

same goes for filling the disc with moving menus and trailers etc. my menus are under 35mb, that's 7 images, 7 looping audio tracks for them, + the main film and movie audio.
maximum space for movie image, then a 2.0 dolby stereo Ac3 file made from the PCM recording.
If you're going dual layer then yeah, PCM is great to have, I just think it's a waste of time on a DVD5 that's all. there are better things to use you disk space on.

Maybe for general use. But the burners are very cheap now and the discs will come down in price, just as DVD5 discs, and CDRs before them. have.
All the time there are people here who will spend a few hundred dollars on a new LD player for any improvement in quality, no matter how slight, I'm sure there will be people who will pay the extra couple of dollars for a blank DL disc.
Personally I'm happy with DVD5, but if you're striving for the best possible it seems a bit silly to stop just short of what's possible.

It sure took a lot of work to find and perfect the process (as opposed to simply dropping the PCM track into any AC3 encoder). I think I posted the directions in one of the threads here.
