Does it? You know if that cap was off the OUT then you would have had a point. As it is, here is a real cap of that frame from the OUT - captured with VirtualDubMod, unretouched, just resized:Originally posted by: boris
Whenever people here still complain about the quality of the 1993 masters, saying that they should have re-scanned the film from scratch I just think of that one frame – and I think what little difference it would have really made.

Where did the ghosting go? Oh sure, it's still there.. but it's not much any more. Not to mention that it has a little more then just a "slight edge" in detail over the laserdisc, wouldn't you agree?
