It’s crazy when you consider how we would’ve seen this progress ten years ago.
Before the GOUT, I’d have told you Cowclops was the best it was ever going to get. Which I believe was the point of the GOUT–shut down the market for those Laserdisc rips. Nowadays I wouldn’t touch Cowclops, but it’s not because of the GOUT…
I actually gave a friend a copy of my cowclops Return of the Jedi disc because he had previously shown my sister the first two movies on pan & scan vhs. I figured a widescreen laserdisc version would be an improvement. Even though the Gout is so much clearer without noticable mpeg2 compression artifacts. But I didn’t have the ready means to copy a protected disc that was dual layer.
