Wasn't that footage originally missing from the TR47 version as well, and recently fixed?
Footage wasn't missing. However there was 2-3 seconds of blackness during the flip between LD sides.
Rowman "recently" made it seamless. Could that be the fix you're thinking of ?

Even more recently Wookie Groomer made it seamless too, and this set ROCKS !
I joined usenet just to get V & VI, after viewing the ANH torrent.

Several of the Quality Broth set's LaserDisc side changes are sloppily done.
For example at the end of Side 3, when Luke reads the trash-compacter's serial number
to Threepio, the last digit "seven" gets cut.
Earlier at the end of Side 1 after Owen's "There'll be hell to pay"
there's a bit of footage missing before Luke's "There's a droid on the scanner."
In ESB, as Luke enters the carbon-freeze chamber and Artoo gets locked out in the hallway,
there's a bit too much "dead air" between the LD sides, making the transition noticeable.

The LD side changes seem to match the '93 Definitive Collection (albeit, a later pressing with Leia welding).
The Quality Broth .NFO files don't say which LD version was used, only "THX".
Grisan, why do you say '95 Faces was the source ?

Time
(chapter timings calculated from frame numbers in Chainsaw's hyperlink )

13 The Millennium Falcon to the rescue (370 frames = 15 sec)
14 Luke's shot (284 frames = 12 sec)

are combined on Dr_Gonzo's DVD chapter 74 (0:27 sec)
while

01 Opening Logos - "A long time ago..."
02 Main titles - A New Hope

are combined to form Chapter 1 of Dr_Gonzo's DVD.

So because of these two combinations, Dr_Gonzo's DVD has only 79 chapters
while the inserts (thanks everybody for posting them !) list 81.

<strong>The &quot;EditDroid&quot; Trilogy DVD Info and Feedback Thread</strong> (Released)

Time
Once upon a time in this very thread the EditDroid creator(s) wrote:
[forwarded by Dr_Gonzo] "To those who don't understand our
wishes to keep a lid on the distribution of our product, I say that it
is our desire to remain in a third camp, one that would like simply to
produce these discs for ourselves and our friends, and not worry about
quality control down the line, generational issues, Lucasfilm legal, etc."

And now ReverendBeastly who started the thread (and sent the copy to Rikter for distribution ???)
boasts of having never burned a disc compliant with the DVD-Video standard.

Quality control indeed !

And Rikter is trying to find the missing JACKET_P and DVD-ROM contents.

Generational issues indeed !
O the irony....

I think a thread exists somewhere (though it might've been another board...). ***The "EditDroid" Trilogy DVD Info and Feedback Thread*** on March 3rd

Make sure you have IFOedit version 0.95 or later (better command editing interface). Make a backup of the VIDEO_TS.IFO file (in case you mess up), and open the file in IFOedit. You'll see a hierarchical list of information stored in the ifo file. Click on VMGM_MAT and a plus sign will appear next to it. Click the plus to expand and you'll see First Play PGC. Click on it, then scroll down in the bottom window until you see the Pre Command(s). You'll see a command saying "(JumpTT) Jump to Title: 1." Right-click on that command and choose "Edit Command." Change the command to "(JumpSS_VTSM) Jump to Titleset Menu." Set the Title number to 1, Titleset number to 1, and Menu to "Root."
