I like to check this thread now and again to see how things are progressing and often learn a thing or two about video formats and the process of restoring something people feel passionate about. Now I see all this senseless bashing and questioning about the merits of ones time? Time is a choice of how one wishes to spend it. Besides, it's not like the 4 doing the restoration process are doing it for themselves, they're willing to share their efforts with the rest of the community, thus leaving something behind. It's no different than those that make custom covers - it's one's passion for a film that inspires them to create something they wish to share of an artisttic merit. Boris, you wouldn't stir the pot if you weren't curious. I'll bet you'll be one of the first to get a copy for comparison. If you're still going to questions the efforts of these people, start a new thread or stay out of the way.
