IMPORTANT NOTICE:
as I'm going to compare the "pyramid" LD with the GOUT DVD, I discovered that also this "pyramid" edition suffers the "incredible shrinking ratio" problem... sigh! :(
So, at this point, it seems thare are at least three major masters around used for OT laserdiscs... I list some of there I'm aware of, but surely there are others:
- DVNR-free + no white clipping - NTSC Japan Special Collection, NTSC US Special Widescreen Edition, PAL french "pyramid" boxset, PAL german Silver Screen edition (some with the "incredible shrinking ratio" problem)
- Light DVNR + white clipping - PAL french THX subtitles, PAL french THX dubbed, PAL german THX, PAL spanish THX
- Strong DVNR + white clipping - NTSC US and Japan Definitive Collection, NTSC US "faces", NTSC Japan Collector's Set - also GOUT PAL and NTSC DVDs of course...
Anyway, when the comparison will be ready I'll post more info here.
