OK watch the a.b.sw skies...

Just do give you an idea of the general crappiness so no-one gets their hopes up too high, and what you might be able to do to clean them up - here is the grab from the OCP discs for reference

And here is the same frame from my direct rip of the BTM discs, then cleaned up using a quicky temporal algorithm

and here is the raw (untouched) frame from my direct rip from the BTM discs.

So as you can see the capture process used to get the images across for OCPs edit lost a lot of detail, but the process did soften the image considerably which hides the pixelation.

To make them usable I'd recommend doing a temporal cleanup on the static backgrounds, create a new extended clean plate and then roto the people back into the clean plates, then you would get something more like (should be better than) my quicky attempt in image #2.

I can't really spend any more time on this though, so I've supplied the raw materials and I throw it out to the rest of you gurus to finish off for whatever projects you have in mind.

Enjoy.
