Hmm, too bad about all the voices being in German. Plus PAL movies are speeded up, so that messes up the video and audio. But it certainly doesn't affect the screencaps, they look super!

I sure hope the HD broadcast of all the Star Wars movies coming up on Cinemax will look this great! Get your HD digital video recorders ready, guys. This is our (maybe only) chance to get all 6 Star Wars movies recorded in HD without any further changes (even more changes to the movies may come in the 30th anniversary set). And please record and then back them all up at max quality, so the full unaltered video and audio quality of the original HD cable presentation is preserved. Once we have safe backup copies of all 6 movies on Blu-Ray BD-R disks in full HD quality that will play on any standard Blu-Ray set top movie player, they can never be lost or deteriorate and we can watch them any time.

Yeah, I know how to turn the feature itself into NTSC, but I am incapable of getting the menus and all the other good stuff.

So you have all of the following:
* In the Teeth of Jaws (UK BBC Documentary)
* Page To Screen: Jaws (US Bravo Documentary)
* New England: Our Way (Rare US 1974 Documentary)
* Jaws: The E! True Hollywood Story

I have yet to pick up the 30th anniversary edition of Jaws - are any of the above included in that commercial release (ie. meaning they won't be included in your set)?

sounds like a nice bonus discs trilogy.

But I am not a big fan of the artwork from the screener dvd so I prefer to work with pictures from the movies. Maybe someone else will like to use it for a different cover.

I will come back in a few days with tentative cover for the 3 discs.

I'd like to finally see these myself, but waiting for someone to conver tthem to NTSC.

I wouldn't mind taking a crack at covers for the discs.

I might've asked you this before but did you ever get copies of the "Jaws In-Depth" DVDs that someone was making and selling on eBay?

I finally have Making of Alien Resurrection laserdisc on the way. It will be in my hands on Wednesday, I guess. Meedermow, should I borrow it to you? There were two LD editions of this documentary - German and Japanese. The first one is overdubbed in German language with no subtitles while the second one has Japanese subtitles and original audio. I decided to buy the German one, of course. The high quality video is what we need and any subtitles are decreasing its value. The question is: are you able to transfer the LD onto DVD and then add English audio from that pale VCD version I once sent to Jonno? If you do not own it yet, I can send it to you as well. This can be a challenge, you must change the speed a bit to plant the audio to the PAL video.

Oh I believe you there. It'll be a while before I get into HD-DVD/Blu-ray though. I live in Australia so there's nothing here for another month or two at the earliest. Then there's the whole "format war" deal. Finally I couldn't really afford the hardware at this point. So I relish watching HDTV stuff as that's the best I'm going to see for a while (disregarding DVDs that upscale well).

I realise that. Can't I watch the TS files on my system directly though - thus in the HDTV/HD-DVD resolution?

Oh, I wasn't implying that someone should make a DVD. I'm just interested in seeing all of these great films (that I grew up with) in hi-def. Problem is I can't download TS files (slow speed internet + very low download limit) so I rarely get the chance to watch hi-def stuff.

AFAIK, When SW ruled was an NTSC disc. I will check when i return home. I always keep the format of the disc the same as the source material. My FIRST release of When Star Wars Ruled... was a PAL source and was released as a PAL disc. Maybe you have that version.
