X0 Team - Ever consider releasing a raw capture of the three films before you do any restoration? There would be 2 reasons for doing such a thing:

1. Show people how good it looks before any changes are made to the color, noise, etc. to increase donations.
2. Get loads a feedback from people who think "scene x" needs work in a certain areas. After all, 100 heads are better than 4.

Only downfall could be the triggering of a C&D. It's up to you.

Triggering a C&D is a downfall of any preservation release.

- I think showing screenshots and the upcoming video clips will be enough to show people how good the transfer looks at the various stages we're in.
- We already get loads of feedback through the site's feedback page as well as this thread. It will only increase the further along we get. I think anyone who has a strong opinion on what work should be done on the transfer probably already has some experience with a transfer of their own. One could pretty much assess where work is needed by looking at the other LD transfers out there. The only difference is that ours needs less work to fix up as far as filtering goes because of the clarity of the X0's output. Things like color correction and IVTC issues would be about the same though. Our captures are just cleaner and more detailed than anything else out there.

All in all I'd say that anyone with an opinion is welcome to contact us. But adding 50 more people to work on the project would just make things take longer. How long do you think making a single decision would take with that many people? On the flip side, take the four of us who know exactly what we're doing, coordinating together on what needs to be done with our prestine reference material to fall back on. I don't think I'd have it any other way.
