Uhh... the master tapes are digital.

You really think [Moth3r's transfers look better in places than the GOUT]?

Yup. Haven't you been following the thread where Arnie.d has posted some comparison screencaps? The PAL LD very clearly has more detail than the GOUT DVD in the scenes he's pointed out, no question.

The GOUT DVD should be substantially better than the NTSC or PAL laserdiscs. The fact that it's even a question worthy of debate shows just how half-assed the GOUT DVD really is. There might be a lot of Lucas apologists who are tickled pink to get this substandard release, but that's a little like saying having one hand chopped off is better than having both chopped off. It might be better, but it's a long, long way from being optimal.
