Idea: About De-SEizing the DVDs... We need to Vote on Changes!

Because of the lost in picture quality I would prefer just removing all added scenes and replacing CGI'd scenes as littlle as possible. The only new scene that should be kept is the falcon taking off as it is the best done scene in the SE and seemed seemless. The scenes that must be changed is Greedo shooting first. Also, the music in the speakers has been flipped and that should be switched (check out thedigitalbits.com for details). Also, most audio should be fixed back to the original if it matches the video well enough.

I must again emphasize that for tallying and voting purposes the decisions should be made 5 or 10 at a time. It would be much easier and people would not be intimidated from voting.

PS: I remember someone posting that they had the high quality copy of the 1997 SE that they used to show the movies on TV. That should be the reference used for putting the original Anniken at the end of Jedi not the laserdiscs.

Using the upcoming DVD sound track would be a good jumping off point to where you can take out SE audio and replace it with the original where necessary. As for menus I use them all the time because they are faster than hitting skip 20 times and they are more visually pleasing. Menus that opened with "a long time ago...STAR WARS" and then transition to the menu with some of John Williams brilliant score would be worth losing 50-100 megs of space.

I have heard alot about people saying to stick with the PCM audio when making the DVDs. However, I think it would be best simply to grab the 5.1 audio off the upcoming official DVD release and then take out any sound that was different from the original and mix it with a 5.1 track off the LD. I figure that 95% of the sound on the DVD will not be diffferent from the original release and it will sound better than the LD audio (plus the theatrical release was in surround sound I believe so it will be staying true to the original).
