Thanks for doing those transfers. AS I haven't seen the VHS tape itself for some years (I don't have a VHS Player at the moment) I can't really comment on how the DVD transfer compares.
My first reaction was that it was of fairly decent quality. There's a little colour bleeding (though the colours look nice and vivid), some distortion and some artifacts. When viewed on a smaller tv or in a window on my desktop it looks pretty good.
There is some 'noise' on the soundtrack - but this is to be expected.
Overall I am pretty happy with this, though I am not sure it warrants a release as there aren't enough difference with previous releases to make it worthwhile.
Maybe after 'Returning to Jedi' and the 'TOP SECRET PROJECT', I might tackel the 'ITV ANH'.
Thanks for all your help
