The 2006 Limited Edition DVDs are unique in that they feature both the Theatrical and Extended version on a double sided disc. Each side is single layer
With DVD Rebuilder Pro you can re-encode a DVD, keeping seamless branching in tact. If you turn off One Click Mode, you hit Prepare and it prepares the avisynth files but doesn’t go any farther. This allows you to substitute a different source, as long as you make sure the frames line up.
I was thinking that perhaps I could convert the 2 low bitrate sides to 2 high bitrate Dual Layer discs sourcing from Blu-Rays or the Extended DVDs. Potentially I could even use LosslessCut to split the actual standalone Theatrical and Extended DVDs and rebuild the discs without almost no reencoding at all.
Considering we have the Blurays, I know this would be a niche project, but would anyone else be interested in seeing it come to fruition?
