This is the best version I have seen.

for some reason when i watched the special edition it seemed vastly different and i didn't like the feeling...

it wasn't as fast and a few scenes (especially the added flashbacks) became redundant or unnecessary.

i thought my take on the differences was weird, tho, because i usually like extended/uncut/dir cut of everything, eheh

That's good news! Then I won't buy the extended version (must be the first time). I had the same with the last of the mohicans. I thought the director's could would be some sort of extended version but it felt like a completely different film.

I've used nothing but pioneer burners and never had any problems. My brothers use NEC burners. I recommend:

- Pioneer DVR-110D (or the 111)
- NEC ND-3550 (or the 3551, 4570)

EDIT: If bit setting/book type is important to you, the pioneer can't change it. But I think NEC burners can but I don't know much about it since I only used pioneers

I think most are locked. But it is now legal in the Netherlands to have your dvd player made region free (it used to be illegal but stores would make them region free anyway). But when you buy a dvd player now you can have the store make it region free for 5 or 10 bucks extra, sometimes it's free of charge.

I really hate cut versions of movies. I can't stand it to buy a movie on dvd and later find out there is an uncut version. Is there a specific scene in battle royale that I can check to find out what version I have this time?

I had a demo disc that had both PAL and NTSC clips. I've played that disc in a lot of different dvd players (from ultra cheap to expensive) and I have never seen a dvd player that could not play both the PAL and NTSC clips. Maybe in europe all (or most) PAL players can also play NTSC but maybe in the US NTSC players can rarely play PAL.

EDIT: The disc was region free, I made it myself.

But doesn't every dvd player nowadays play both formats? I think it's cheaper for manufacturers to build one model that can play both instead of two models (one for PAL and one for NTSC).

By converting PAL to NTSC do you actually mean "convert PAL to NTSC" or do you mean "can play both PAL and NTSC"?

Because the emperor says he wants Luke to strike him down (his journey towards the dark side will be compleet). It would be majorly stupid to try and hit him then, wouldn't it? He wants a confrontation with vader as in empire.

EDIT: That's how I see it... But I don't think Luke strikes to try and kill vader. Besides he can't redeem vader by killing the emperor, it would probably have the opposite effect. And there's no need for vader to protect the emperor. I think the emperor could easily deal with luke himself. Blasting him away with lightening or something...

The question is not if Luke's saber is behind vader's. After all Luke swings his saber from upper right down to the left. I think everybody agrees Luke's saber is behind vader's and closest to the emperor. The discussion was if that should be the case. If you think Luke wants to hit the emperor then his saber shouldn't be behind vader's, because vader could not have blocked it. If you believe (as I do) he wants to hit vader then there's nothing wrong.

DVD-lab accepts DTS tracks, but the audio delay function doesn't work with DTS tracks

I have to ask, what dvd has it's DTS track out of sync???

EDIT: Do you know the exact audio delay?

You can demultiplex the vobs, load the files in dvd-lab and use "tool > audio delay" to sync the audio to the video. Dvd-lab will make a new audio file synced to you video. You can use the video file and the new audio file to rebuild the dvd (dvd-lab also allows negative delays).

EDIT: I hope the difference in sync is the same troughout the movie otherwise this won't work.

No he wouldn't. Hitler never killed someone himself. He got others to do that. I don't think he could achieve that in a world with only Gandis. Hitler never even saw the death camps.

We would not have any terrorist problem if our governments weren't so stupid. The terrorist actions we are facing are only reactions to our own foreign policy. You should wonder what makes people so frustrated that they are prepared to blow themselves up and take as many people as they can with them.

I don't think it's weird Iran and North Korea want nulcear weapons. Maybe their fear of being attacked is justified after what happened to Iraq. If both sides have nuclear weapons maybe there's balance...
I would not be surprised at all if Bush decides to bomb nuclear facilities in Iran. He thinks he can solve all problems by bombing. Result: only more violence.

edit: We all know the only country ever to actually use atomic bombs. I believe Japan was already beaten. But if you want to throw the damn thing to make a country surrender, why would you have to show it's power by throwing it on a city??? And wasn't 1 enough?

Hmmm. But do you believe Luke tries to hit the emperor and Vader stops him?
I never looked at it like this before. I always believed Luke ignored the emperor and focused on Vader.
