THX, they seem to be cropped (slightly) and squished. Here are some comparison screenshots of NTSC GOUT, PAL G'Kar 97SE, PAL TB 97SE, and NTSC 2004SE. These examples have been resized for easier comparison. The GOUT examples have been cropped for the same reason.

Check out the leg being cropped on the left in the 97's along with a little top frame cropping, too. Dare I say the PAL digital broadcasts are even more blue than the 2004's? Also, look at the floor light directly below the Falcon's cockpit. Which version shows more detail? Interestingly, it's the GOUT.

The PAL digital broadcasts' problems really shine through here. Again, even more color "correction" and a lot of compression blocking artifacts from poor encoding. The G'Kar suffers the most from this. So, with all this, I would say that the PAL digital broadcasts have too many faults to be seriously considered as sources for any kind of project like this. I think you'd be better off using the 2004's, as bad as that sounds. I haven't gone through all 3 of the 97 and 04 SE's. There may be some 97 scenes that are more usable than these examples. But, it sure doesn't look like it.
