No one in the preservation forum is willing to hook you up? Have you tried myslpeen.net?


I tried requests on one of the Star Wars newsgroups but my ISP has crappy retention.

I'll give myspleen.net a shot. Thanks.

The Official Lucasfilm Response
Time
I know I'm gonna get slammed for this, but I really don't mind that the OOT DVDs will basically be copies of the LDs. They say be careful what you wish for and I wished for the bare minimum of the LDs copied to DVD when the SEs came out on DVD in 2004. I figured it's better than nothing. What does irk me is that I have to pay an additional $10 for the crappy SE versions which I don't want. If Lucasfilm has to be cheap about this and just port over the LDs, at least make it a budget release by skipping the inclusion of the SE crap and selling the LD ports for $10 or less. Let's hope a third party like Criterion can take this over and give the originals the treatment they deserve but I wouldn't hold my breath.
