Thanks !

About the Grindhouse editions, I have read they not “GOUT compatible”. Does it mean that it can be hard to find subtitle tracks for instance ?

ESB Grindhouse is not “GOUT compatible” but Harmy’s ROTJ Grindhouse is.

And about the Despecialized editions : which ones are from the 35mm scans ? I have downloaded the v2.7/v2.0/v2.5 versions from the instructions on this forum : the READMEs do not mention 35mm films as sources. Are you speaking about more recent versions that have not been publicly released yet ?

SW 2.7 uses some shots from the 35mm SSE version (IIRC only shots that were completely GOUT upscales were replaced with SSE), ROTJ 2.5 was totally overhauled with a lot of 35mm footage, and ESB is still in a more SW 2.5 state (all gout upscale, no 35mm footage to my knowledge).

If you can find the links to the image comarisons Harmy made, they should say if 35mm footage was used in any given correction.
