The transfer and image is much sharper than the ntsc transfers.
The only thing is I live in the u.s. and hate pal speed up, but Your transfer of the LD is the best one i've seen yet.
Too bad there is not a similar transfer From a native NTSC source, and I don't mean re-inventing the wheel because that is pal transfered over to ntsc.
Your set is a bit dark in places but, out of all the preservation/versions out there it is the only one that comes close to the offcial dvd release in terms of quality.
Yes ocpmovie's set is nice but the color is a bit garish in places and overly bright because of being taken from the official dvd release. Too bad they did such a bad Job color correcting the 2004 release, and messing up the soundtrack on a new hope. If they fixed those issues as well as omitted the new cgi form 1997-2004 we would have a near perfect release, as long as they fixed the bad mattes and other glaring issues that are present.
Darth Solo would you mind posting hi-rez versions of your covers in this thread or the cover release thread?
