Actually, I knew no matter how shitty the offical OOT looked you were going to say that....thanks for not letting me down.....
You deliberately posted the most blurry pic. So? Yes they look good, they've been downsized and saved as JPEGS... as other have said I'm sure the quality of the DVD will be a little better then what you seen in the screen caps. They look much better then the LD's already. Someone I know has the SW LD's and a movie projector at his home (an excellent one, I think it's his 3rd now) - and I do think they look better then the LD's. I've said it so many times that it's getting really really old - but so many DVD's were mastered from the old master tapes used for LD's that I don't see what the problem is here. It's not like they're promising more then they're delivering - and the quality will be good. Again, I'm glad they didn't grind it through the process the 2004 version went through that resulted in a picture that is good quality yes, but does not look like the star wars film.

That was my favourate cap too. It looks outstanding.

Really? I mean, really? You didn't notice the lack of stars on the left side of the SD? Or how about the salt and pepper noise that is most apparant
on the planet? I guess some of us look deeper at the details than others... It's called film grain, and there's nothing wrong with it! The lack of stars is normal for home video.Originally posted by: Laserschwert
Actually they should've scaled it to 768x576, since that is actual native PAL-res, but after all the footage was upscaled from NTSC, so that scaling it down again doesn't really make it any worse.
There's already been a discussion about this - it does not appear the PAL master was resized from NTSC. And if it was, well I can live with that. Personally I prefer not to watch NTSC versions if I can avoid them. Even if it was resized from NTSC the playback will be notably smoother on an interlaced display - which is how I have to watch them at my home at least.
Originally posted by: vbangleKind of silly then for someone to comment on how "good" they look....
No it isn't. The ghosting and dot crawl is gone - and it looks clear and sharp (from what can be made out of the detail the JPEGS provide).
I'm very happy with those screenshots the quality is on par with my expectations.
Originally posted by: half fullI joined this stie because I want the originals as they were made. I assumed that was what everyone else here wanted as well. Now that we are getting them on DVD all I am hearing is "not good enough". To all of you that are bitching please please please shut the fuck up.
Touché.
