Other shots are easier - the "committee" scene with Vader, Tarkin and all the Moffs has a couple of dropouts, but they are white against the black background of the chamber, making them easy to spot and fix. On the Faces set, the first scene of R2 in the Jawa valley and the gang overlooking Mos Eisley have rolling dropouts, meaning I have to track their downward movement on successive frames.
Now, the DC may not have these same problems, or may have them in different areas. I've not gone over this transfer frame by frame to the same length yet, so I'm just taking it as it comes, but one thing's for sure - these problems actually become more pronounced by the X0 player (meaning problems in the LD mastering become much more visible.) Ironically, while it makes them more visible, it also makes them easier to find.
I'd certainly like to have ANH well done by Christmas, but I make no promises.
