Thanks for the info, Mielr. Here's yet another depressing quote from Robert Harris:
However, bear in mind that the Definitive Collection itself is not theatrically authentic. Aside from the issue of the mix, which is discussed in other threads, the films received extensive color-correction (which is why color varies from scene to scene by comparison to earlier LD releases). Though nowhere near as far out as the '04 DVDs, this does change the look of the film (of course this has to be balanced against the higher quality telecine made for the DefCol).
I have a set on DVD-R made from the pre-thx DVD's. You're right that there was a lot of colour correction done in 1993, but the state of the colours pre-thx was anything but theatrically authentic.
