I guess that pretty much settles it... thanks all for setting me on the right path.

More than likely the person who swears the THX were different than the GOUT we watched is simply remembering some of the SE changes.

He has the Faces P&S VHS tapes so if he isn't convinced he can show me what he was talking about (problem is he doesn't have a vcr anymore and he "remembers" it being different from the 2006 dvd but has no way to prove it w/o coming over to my place)

Wasn't "Faces" just the VHS versions of the 1993 definitive edition master?

If that is true then why would they have made a "faces" version of the LD's?

Interesting I was under the impression GOUT == 1993 definitive collection and FACES == 1995 THX

Soon as I posted I finally found what I was looking for:

http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/LeeThorogoods-PAL-LaserDisc-Preservation-Project-97-SE-Finished-95-THX-Finished-97-SE-Uploaded-95-THX-Uploaded-to-the-newsgroup/topic/11824/

I found this site via searching google about converting my 2006 DVD’s to anamorphic and then discovered Dark Jedi’s DVD’s already did that so I got them off the newsgroups and was happy… after watching those with my friends one pointed out he could tell right away it was not the same as what he called “the thx edition” he grew up watching…

After doing some research on this page I learned that the 2006 / Dark Jedi v3 is GOUT and what my friend was talking about was actually “Faces”

We now have some interest in checking out the Faces in anamorphic widescreen glory.

I have a pretty nice 6 head vcr and capture hardware so we talked about just ordering the VHS widescreen box set on Amazon and trying to convert it ourselves.

My questions is, on the VHS version of faces, are the subtitles entirely in the “black bars”, entirely in the video portion, or sometimes in the video portion running into the black bars.

I am hoping they are entirely in the black bars and I can just encode the video and add the subtitles later.

All this got me thinking someone has to already have a done something like this. If someone has already done this (preferably from the LD source) what release is it and is it available on usenet. I currently don’t have access to myspleen.

Thanks.
