Sounds like you're putting a lot of work into this, calamari, which is great. I think you might run into problems matching the video quality of the two sets, though. As you know, the SE set has been extensively "restored" which has resulted in an image that wouldn't match even a true anamorphic transfer of the OUT. If you want to avoid the kind of mismatch problems ocp had, you're going to have to run the OUT sections longer than just patches (i.e. whole scenes). And even with that, you'll have to do extensive color/gamma correction on the SE scenes to get them close to the OUT look, which will mean re-encoding. Add to that the re-encoding required for the OUT scenes due to the fanamorphization and I wonder if the end result will be better than just watching the OUT disc. Don't get me wrong, I wish you every success and I think your approach is a good one in principal, which could be useful far beyond its initial inspiration. I look forward to seeing the results.
