What am I doing wrong here? I really hope I didn't download over 7GB for nothing. Help appreciated.

Thanks Moth3r, that worked perfectly!
Muxman is turning my subtitles red during multiplex. How do I prevent this? I want to keep the original white subtitle colour from the GOUT.
What does your vinyl rig consist of?
Thank you kindly, I will try these as soon as I get home.
Curious, does the +1.017 for ANH apply to both the mono and stereo dolby (and '93 laserdisc)?
I'm having difficulties syncing a variety of audio sources with the GOUT. Below is a list of times for vaarious audio sources as well as the length of the movies themselves. None of the timings are the same. Obvious the GOUT audio syncs up with the GOUT video, but I have no clue how to make the other sources sync up. When I mux these various audio sources with the video, it's always out of sync. Help and advice would be most appreciated.
Ep IV - ANH 2h01m00.22s
2006 GOUT DVD - 2h01m07.424s
1977 Restored Mono - 2h01m07.328s (Audio for GOUT projects - "77_sw_restored_mono_mix.par2")
1977 35mm Dolby Stereo (Reference Level) - 2h01m10.016s (Audio for GOUT projects - "77_ss_dolby_stereo_reference_level_belbucus.par2")
Ep V - ESB 2h04m46.05s
2006 GOUT DVD - 2h04m53.120s
1993 Definitive Edition Laserdisc - 2h04m51.232s (More audio for GOUT projects - '93 DC mix PCMs - "ESB_93.par2")
Ep VI - ROTJ 2h11m32.26s
2006 GOUT DVD - 2h11m42.176
1993 Definitive Edition Laserdisc - 2h11m41.888s (More audio for GOUT projects - '93 DC mix PCMs - "ROTJ_93.par2")
I'm curious as to why the ANH script contains the following:
episode==5 ? last.Trim(0,92103)++orig.Trim(92104,93601)++last.Trim(93602,0) : last
Also, why does it have the ROTJ subs? If I (obviously) don't want that in ANH, would I delete the following from the script?
########## subtitle
episode==4 ? ANH(last) : episode==6 ? ROTJ(last) : last

I am looking for either the original WAV (preferable) or AC3-compressed file of the mono mix. If someone could please help me out, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you kindly in advance.
I notice that in the screenshot of HCencoder on the first page that the aspect ration is set at 4:3. GOUT's script resizes the movie to 16:9. Is there a conflict here? Or do I just leave it set at 4:3 as in the screenshot?
Could someone please suggest how I might implement g-force's script for ANH, using DVD Rebuilder? Would I simply copy and paste the script into its filter editor? If yes, since I'm using DVD Rebuilder's "Convert from LB 4:3 to 16:9" option, would I exclude the following from the script?
########## resize to 16x9 AR, remove sides, add borders
Spline16Resize(728,388).Crop(8,10,-4,-14,align=true).AddBorders(2,58,2,58)
Are there any other changes to the script that should be made if using it with DVD Rebuilder? Please advise.
Thank you kindly in advance.
