What has gotten into Ocp? He seems to be acting really meanspirited lately. Maybe someone should point out all the time he spent "wasting" by painting out the SE elements for his classic editions. And by the way, the image of Greedo looks better from the X0 pic as does Shaw. You can tell the eyebrows were painted back in. The whole point of this project was to squeeze the best quality of the laserdiscs. Lines of resolution is only one part of the overall quality of video. The dvds may have that advantage but there's also brightness, contrast, color accuracy and compression artifacts to worry about. The one thing that makes my TR47 set easiest to tell it apart from the official dvds is the digital compression and double black bars on 4:3 tv's. The fact that there are less lines of resolution isn't that obvious.
I think it would be cool to see how the X0 transfer compares with the dvds. Maybe you guys could post more of your screen caps just as friendly advice to Lucasfilm of how it should look, because their current dvd version is not a good reference. I'd love to see some before and after comparisons, even of screens that don't look that drastic of an enhancement, to show what attention to detail can bring. And let's not forget that these articles really help others with their own color correction and captures. I know they have with my own video projects.
