Two words which you should've picked up on by now if you'd read this thread: my projector.
t's not more portable (for distribution) than a DVD and it's quality won't be any better (or worse).
No that is incrrect, the XviD version looks much better played back on a PC screen with plain Windows Media player than the anamorphic DVD encode on a software DVD player - before the video is scaled to resolutions for DVD & XviD it's at a square pixel width of 1280, upscaled that that resolution using an edge directed resampler so the picture looks clearer than using bicubic or lanczos3 resizing.
It's not meant to be more portable (for distrubition) because it's meant for me for my 1024 pixel width projector, but because other people seem to want copies I'm sending a couple out.
You basically have just made a second DVD version that's largely standalone player incompatible.
It's not another DVD version, just because something is stored on a DVD it doesn't automatically make it a DVD in the sense that you can just put it into a DVD player and watch it, DVD-R just happens to be the cheapest and easiest way of storing the XviD version.
A 2 CD Xvid version would have been a great idea for portability and quality.
I guess I'll just say 'whatever' and get your DVD version when that's out.
), as for the unconventionality of my XviD version, well Star Wars was a pretty unconventional film when it was made...
