So no one has any suggestions on a good BD player? seems this thread is dead.

FWIW I'm loving my Sony BDP-S790.

 I have 2 completely different Panasonic BD players, one is 2 years old and the other 3 years old.  Both are awesome and I've never had any problems with them.  All I did was read up on several reviews and they didn't let me down.  : )

Actually, it is that easy if you have the right software. Though I'm not sure what the best /free/ software is.

EDIT: Because I can, I'm currently making a DVD5 version of Star Wars v2.5 from the AVCHD (using only English subs and the first 3 audio tracks). I'll be out of town for a couple days so I'll have to wait to seed it on Monday afternoon (US CST).

In the mean time, someone can tell me whether making it from the AVCHD /really/ would cause noticeable compression artifacts instead of me assuming things and talking out my rear end. And if that's the case, said someone should be nice and make a proper DVD5 since I don't currently have the MKV to encode from.

 So, I could just burn a .vob file to a DVD, without the folder structure, and it will work?

No, I didn't say that.

VOB files with no folder structure will work on your computer, not on your DVD player. Albeit, since several individual VOB files are used, watching just one of them won't do you any good either.

I have ConvertXtoDVD, and it can use various video sources (including either a complete AVCHD or just its .m2ts file) to create proper VOB files /and/ a proper DVD folder structure that you can use to burn straight to a DVD disc.

However, as has been said, the whole conversation about how to convert this film to DVD (from any format) is moot because a DVD5 version already exists with links on tehparadox. Use that. Don't bother doing it yourself.

 AVStoDVD w/ HcENC > ConvertxtoDVD, and it's free.

And pay extra for something I can't currently use. ;)

 I'm not sure why you're not getting this.  The 2D copy that comes with the 3D set, which you can currently use, DOESN'T have the green tint.  The 2D-only version has green tint.     

Edit:     Version with green tint (2D):

Version that includes a 2D copy that you can use and without green tint:

Gah! Is this a cock up, or more Lucas level fiddling with something that wasn't broken? This is the only new movie I even wanted to buy this year. :/

Will the 3D play back on a non 3D setup?

 The 3D version comes with 2D and 3D on the same disc.  Both of them don't have the green tint.  So it's all good, get the 3D set.

There was a conveyor belt scene in AOTC? Seriously? Wow did that movie make no lasting impression.

Can't tell if crappy fan edit or crappy real edit.

Seriously, that whole video triggered zero recollection for me. My only memory of the entire damn movie was an obnoxious screeching lizard, which was my cue for a bathroom break.  A pretend bathroom break, so that I could just get out of the theatre for a few minutes.  Maybe that scene was in the middle of the lizard scene?  If not, wow, no impression at all.

 The screeching lizard isn't in AOTC it's in ROTS.
