Is it actually on a DVD or is it on a file on your computer that was ripped from it or what exactly is it? Is there any chance of it being made into a torrent file?
It is burned onto a DVD from LD. I don't have the ability to seed a torrent, so anyone interested in doing so should PM me.

The ESB SE also uses Luke's line "You're lucky to get out of there" as opposed to the more conventional "You're lucky you don't taste very good" after the swamp monster spits out R2. Some people thought the line was changed and added for the SE, it was not. It was there all along, just in another sound mix. Which mix I'm not sure, 70mm perhaps. It is also in the original "Story of" recording for ESB.
Are you 100% sure about this? I thought it was one of the many superfluous SE changes. I don't recall Luke ever saying that before the SE version, but I have not watched all of the LD/VHS versions, either. Needless to say the change is still annoying-the original line was much better.

Alright, I'm ready to post the cover artwork I've just finished. However my Sympatico account has a pathetic amount of web space for its users. Can anyone recommend a free hosting service that will allow me link to my uploaded files and will allow uploads of files bigger than 5MB.
Thanks,

Thanks for helping cement the fact my version is the best around, and hopefully will become the standard for which others are judged. I think the softness you mentioned is due more to the fact that you're watching an LD transfer on a large HD 16:9 TV, not due to the transfer itself. I believe any LD would look soft compared to a DVD since the resolution isn't as high as a non anamorphic DVD transfer. Unfortunately it seems this is the best we're ever going to get! BTW the bonus disc is the same for both sets.

Hey TR47,
Will these upcoming DVD-9 versions of the OT be available in 16:9 format as well? Will they be factory presses or DVD+R copies (which will create compatibilty issues with many)? And what timeframe are we looking at for availability?
Thanks.

Anamorphic set:
Pioneer DVL 909 used for transfer
Audio:
192k DD 2.0 compressed from 1500k PCM
Commentary track w/optional captions
Video:
Anamorphic flagged widescreen
Original LD markers used as chapter stops
Fancy menus/intro
Overall a nice set, but they did a better job with DVD authoring/making menus than actually transferring the set, as it is blurrier and the color is oversaturated. The contrast, brightness and hue are more or less correct.
TR47 set:
Pioneer CLD 59 Elite used for transfer
Audio:
1500k LPCM uncompressed
Video:
Letterboxed widescreen
Aliasing/noise filters applied
No menus
Better overall transfer, the color balance is correct (except for a very slight blue green hue tint) and the sharpness is full DVD resolution. It is a more bare bones approach but more closely matches what the actual LDs look like. I have posted a few screen shot comparisons to illustrate the differences:
Anamorphic shot 1:
TR47 shot 1:
Anamorphic shot 2:
TR47 shot 2:
You can see the obvious differences between color levels and sharpness. Overall, I would say go with my set if you're more interested in audio/video quality, and go with the anamorphic set if you care more about bells & whistles or have a 16x9 TV.

Given the less than amicable reception to the sales of my set, and the fact I found a supplier of blanks for cheaper, I am lowering my price down to $25 shipped for the 5 disc set and $5 for additional discs, effective tomorrow. I don't expect this to change anyone's opinion of my actions but I thought an update was warranted nonetheless.

The only person to blame for all of this George Lucas himself. If he wasn't so stuck on his SE only policy, there wouldn't be a need for bootlegs.
I know this isn't going to happen, but I would love to see sales his set in Sept. be far less than expected (if he doesn't throw in the Original Versions). Maybe that will finally send it home to Lucas that we don't want his revisionist cinema.
