I had that LD, but got rid of it once I recorded the commentary to DVD-R. IMO, the only thing that really makes it worth getting. Especially since this is coming out November 22.

I live about 2 hours from Zion, and hes got an open invitation to come visit me, where he can try his product on some of my cool toys. I work in a high end hi fi shop, so he can try his discs on plasmas, DLP projectors, and terranex equipped DVD players. The Denon 5910 is equipped with a variation of the terranex processing. IMO, its the best PQ from any DVD player Ive seen.

sorry if this has been mentioned:

From thedigitalbits.com

Universal has just announced for 11/29 The Frighteners: Director's Cut (SRP $26.98 - 123 minutes, unrated, anamorphic widescreen, Dolby Digital 5.1 audio)

We'll post additional details on The Frightners: Director's Cut as soon as we can (all we know now is what we've posted above, and that it's a single-disc release). No doubt it's an attempt on capitalize on Peter Jackson's visibility with his forthcoming King Kong remake, due in theaters on 12/14 (also from Universal).

If its a single disc release, it doesnt seem the 4.5 hour doc could be there.

Are we talking about the "Alien Legacy" doc that was aquired through a mail in program with the first "legacy" box set? If so, ive got it. It covers only the first film. Lots of interviews with Ron Cobb, Dan OBannon, Ron Shusett.

On my set, the subtitles as they appear on the LD are still present, and user selectable subs are availaible kind of half in the black, half in the picture area. On a 16x9 screen they are visable, but the top half of the permanent subtitles are too.

Gundrosen, nice covers.

If i may interject my 2 cents... the plot descriptions on the back covers give away too much. I realize less than 1% of the populations has yet to see the OT, but someone may be actually watching them for the first time. The description on the back of Jedi basically gives away the first two thirds of the movie, and the back of empire reveals some major plot points and surprises.

I'm a bit lost there ... sorry ... When I edit video, I try to keep it as close as possible to the original, and I've never been really concerned about 16:9 screens since I watch the movie on my computer ... But to me 16:9 looks a bit "squeezed" ...

Hold on, I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Ludwig... the "original" IS widescreen!!!! All the posts you have seen in this thread represent how Star Wars looked in theaters... at least in aspect ratio (width x height). Your statement shows that you REALLY need to educate yourself in the ways of theatrical presentation and how it relates to proper presentation in the home. Widescreen is the only way to go. If 16x9 has always looked "squeezed" to you, you probably have had your display set up wrong. If you are watching on a 4x3 television, and your DVD player has been set to 16x9, then anamorphically enhanced DVDs would look wrong.

Spider, while Im sure there are a few people who may not know these things.... do a search first. The topics in these threads you have started have all been well covered in other threads. You have made refrence to the DavisDVD Star Wars video timline in two other threads.

Id like to get my LD of ITS A MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD on DVD... its the "extended cut" , and restores most known trims to the movie.... still not quite what it should be, but more accurate than the current official DVD.

I compared this image with the Dr. Gonzo transfer, and it looks like you are filtering out too much horizontal information. On the instrument panel on the right side of the screen, alot of the white lines have been simply removed!

I like the subtle music approach. Too much of the main theme music would get tiresome. I love it the way it is!

Hey Zion, It could be the captures... or maybe even the faces edition....but I noticed some cropping on your captures... On Dr Gonzo and the Official release., you can see the back of the Imerial Officer' neck. Also, on the right hand side, you can see more of the stormtrooper shoulder. BTW your transfers are awesome. It makes me want to throw my Dr GOnzo transfers in the garbage. I cant wait to get copies from you!

I have a DVL 909. It will play DTS LDs... but not DTS DVDs. Any LD with a digital output willplay DTS LDs.. but you need a DTS decoder to play DTS on DVDs.... confused?
