I'm talking about letterboxed DVDs VS. doing a proper anamorphic transfer from film (or from all of the raw footage that was already scanned prior to the release of the 1997 SEs). Well that would be nice, but the improvement in quality would be minimal, and there's no guarantee they'd do it faithfully.Originally posted by: tellan
they're working with raw uncompressed images? really. yeah uncompressed from an analogue capture which in its own turn can introduce artifacting of its own depending on the equipment used. they're using the XO machine which is top notch to eliminate this issue but it won't be completely gone.
Yeah I was going to say that. There's less colour information on Laserdisc too.Nobody is asking them to use the 1993 master tapes to make fake anamorphic DVDs (if you want the letterboxed image to fill your widescreen TV, you just have to hit the 'zoom' button).

Besides they claim I'd be happy with this set "no matter what", but they're disappointed "no matter what".
