Apologies if this belongs in another thread, but....
What software does everyone use for burning DVDs? Specifically, I have downloaded the OT Anamorphic DVDr version from Bittorrent, so I would like a program that you can just select the VIDEO_TS.ifo file and burn the DVD. I was using the trial version of a program called Copy2DVD that worked exactly like that, super-easy, but my trial time has expired, and I don't really want to pony up $40 for a program I might not use again (all I have left to burn is the Supplemental disk). I have Easy CD/DVD creator, but couldn't find a way to burn a video DVD from a .ifo file. Any suggestions?

I would really like to get ahold of a copy of MagnoliaFan's "Ep 1: Balance of the Force" edit, all the reviews sound really good. Anybody know if there is a torrent of it up anywhere? If not, I would be happy to trade a couple of blank DVD-r if someone could burn me a copy. Thanks.

Flash? Fluke? Are you talking to me?

Well, I never tried it, but I did set up private after-hours screenings for myself and a few select friends on occasion. Occasions like the night before Ep. 2 opened, etc.

I'm not just saying it to be coy, I really never tried making a copy of anything. Too afraid of federal prison and such. I suppose if one was so motivated, though, it wouldn't be too hard, since all managers and projectionists had keys to the building and booth, and you could probably set up a tripod in the auditorium for the camera and an audio line to the audio rack in the booth. I know there are problems with using a standard camcorder for recording movies due to the different frame rates, but I never looked into it.

I worked at a theater for most of the 90's, and at least while I was was there, there was no way in freakin' hell anyone could get away with keeping a print. Even if a print was nearly destroyed from a projector malfunction, whatever was left had to be returned to the studio, and then you might have to pay $1500-$2500 in print replacement.

My covers feature the backsides of Dean's covers, and the spines of covers fit to look like the prequels.
For the front I use the SE posters. But ONLY because the posters look better. There's no mention of 'special edition' on them, so it's ok.

I was talking about those covers, but after re-reading your post, I realise that when you said "I can post them here if anyone is interested in them" you were referring to the inserts, not the covers. My bad.

HAL 9000:
I for one would like to see the covers you described. Could you post them (or at least a preview)

Thanks.

Luke Skywalker-
Thanks. I found the same set online and downloaded them just as you posted your reply.

Next question-does anyone have a set of "inksaver" covers? In other words, something made on a white background instead of black? I found this VCD cover on one of the other covers sites which is kind of nice looking. Anything similar in DVD size for the OT?

Thanks.

Hey Luke Skywalker-
Your covers are great! Did you make them? I emailed you a request, but you never know with Hotmails spam filters, so I thought I'd post in here also. Think I could get a copy? My email is nosebrain (at) hotmail.com. Thanks!
