My apologies in advance, as this has nothing to due with this discussion, but I was browsing through some posters, and came across this one. Thought it would provide a laugh. Just one question - Why is the Millennium Falcon in this poster ?!? And why did Han get it modified?

Unless there's something different about the film, you could probably save yourself some work and just preserve his hosting bits.

I agree. If there are no noticeable changes, other than being edited down for television, I'd say the host segments would be the real gem here. I'd sure like to see it.

Thanks, Adywan! That did the trick. I should have known you'd have the answer. If you can manage to author the DVD DL of Revisted, I 'm sure you know your way around codecs and stuff. I wish the video would play smoother, though. My computer has a real hard time with 1080P. It handles 720P fine, though. By the way, when I play it in Media Player Classic, I get an extra set of black bars, which are lighter than the rest of the black area, like what is filling in the space between the 2:35:1  image and where a 16:9 image would be. If I play it in VLC, those bars are solid black, and looks much better, without the lighter black inner bars. I couldn't seem to find any adjustment in settings to fix that - is there no way to black out those bars in MPC?

I just had to say again what a phenomenal job you've done on the Revisited DVD, and I, like everyone else here, can't wait to see what you do with Empire. You've set the new standard to which all fanedits will compare.

I downloaded this hoping that for now, I can play it on my computer, and eventually, when I get a PS3, I can play it on that.  I tried to mount the .iso into Alcohol 120%, which should create a new virtual drive and let me access the files in the iso, but when I click on the new virtual drive, all I get is a windows box saying: "Windows cannot read from this disk. The disk might be corrupted, or it could be using a format that is not compatible with windows."

I have checked google, and a few others also seem to have an issue with accessing AVCHD files on thier computers, with the same error message. Can't find a solution, though. I understand I will need software that will play this file, but windows should at least let me see the file there. I have mistakenly downloaded mac files before, and of course Windows didn't know what to do with it, but I could see the file on my computer. Alcohol has always worked for me before when mounting iso files. I don't want to burn this to a DL DVD, and still have my computer not read it. As far as Windows knows, there is a burned DVD now in my virtual drive, so if I burn it to DVD and physically put it into my dvd drive, the same error message would likely come up. Anybody have any ideas?

I did see the sample video in .ts format, though, and it looked fantastic. Nice to see the color correction applied, Adywan. I have wanted to see the original in HD, but didn't think I could deal with that horrible blue cast. My preferred version will always be Revisited, though.
