"I've spent alot of money on one set of the CLV Thx discs and they had white specks on a good portion of the the film.I heard they are called dropout.The second set I bought, though not as bad still have alot. I know some one who has an ld player and I tried them on theirs and they did the same thing but the guy I ordered them from says he watched them before he sent them and they didn't do that. The laserdiscs look so much better than the vhs but the specks are really distracting."

It's kinda funny, because I saw these on my original transfer. When the X0 transfer came through, we thought they'd be gone - turns out they were worse, only in better definition. It is precisely this sort of thing that is being removed, frame by frame. Be patient, and enjoy the films for now.

(For what it's worth, having watched ANH corrected for this, it's hard to go back to the LDs myself.)
