I wonder what it would take to do a really good 1080p upscale of these shorts.  Something that didn't have jaggies other issues due to excessive DNR and EE, a soundtrack that's not constantly going out of sync, and no stupid company logo in the corner throughout every short.

That's what I'd like to see. As I said, editing isn't my job and I don't have the experience necessary to really do this right. I think I could probably do a more thorough job given some more time, but it would have to be as a low priority hobby as my day job is requiring lots of time at the moment. (Also my trial of Final Cut Pro has expired, so I'd have to pony up for the full version but want to see if the new version coming out with the new Mac Pros is just a point bump or a true new version.)

What I'd like to look over are these questions:

1. Is the Bosko Video version definitive with respect to completeness of the films? No missing or shortened scenes, etc. (Like, can it be considered this project's GOUT?)

2. Is the Bosko Video's audio really superior start-to-finish? I'm not an audiophile to the degree necessary to judge it as compared to the Warner Bros. set.

3. Aside from the places where the Warners set just simply uses the wrong scenes, is its video superior in all cases, or are there places where the Bosko video is better?

4. What other versions would be useful sources?

From there, the question would be, should the whole thing be synced up to Bosko's audio? Are there places where Bosko's video should be used, perhaps with new color timing to match Warners?
