Well, to be quite honest, when you've put as much time, effort and money into these projects as I or Laserman or Gonzo or any of the other handful of people who have done this, it's kinda hard to just "let it go". While internet notoriety is a nice thing, it doesn't completely make up for the "family time" that was missed, or the bills that need to be paid. I still kinda shake my head when people complain about having to spend more than 5 bucks on one of these versions. They just don't get the fact that you cannot simply "rip-&-burn" LD versions like you can another DVD. It is apples to oranges, big time. I thought I would have been done with my versions at least a year ago, if not more, but better technology and techniques keep coming my way, which has required even more time and money. As I've said a couple of times, unlike the Studios, I don't have the volume for cost-effective economy of scale. Selling a DVD for 5 bucks does nothing to amortize the money I've put into this project (close to $2,000, and Laserman has spent more than me.)
As for myself, I'm kinda one of those people who transfer from LD-to-DVD (or even VHS to DVD) using the simple things, and though not the Hollywood-style job most people do with their LD-to-DVD or VHS-to-DVD transfers, it's something. I take the LaserDisc or tape signal and feed it to my TV Tuner inside my PC, then use InterVideo WinDVR to record, TMPG Encoder to convert the file to a DVD-compliant picture, DVDIt! to author and burn to hard drive, and then either Sonic RecordNow DX or InstantCopy to burn to DVD-R. Of course, I don't have the software to do the DVD-R in Dolby Digital AC-3 (it can only do PCM audio), but at least it's the cost-efficient way of transferring LDs or tapes to DVD-Rs if you can't afford the money to do a top-notch job. Now you know how I did the 1997 Special Editions and the individual making-of documentaries.
And as I mentioned before, I don't mind sharing my work with others so long as they have at least some digital archive of the versions of the Star Wars movies Lucas doesn't want on video anymore.
