ahum, ....... may as well put in my tuppence worth, everyone else has.

OUT on DVD. for reference I bought the PAL region 4 Australian version.

neg's

grain (harder to clean on my computer, not impossible, just harder.)


positives.

its the original version.

now on my Sony Bravia LCD screen, the upscaler must be pretty good, because when I zoom the image, I don't get any crappy artifacting. its shameful that lucasfilm did not use a PAL master for a PAL region but considering I've only ever seen NTSC versions of the LD pressings on my TV, the jaggies don't distract too much because I expected them to be there.

sangnom will cure that when I make it anamorphic and sharpen it up a bit for myself.

5/10

could have been soooo much better but this might be the only chance to own OUT on DVD so it'll have to do.
