Oops, the quote "16mm reels are only 400 feet, translating to roughly 10 minutes of footage." was actually made by zombie84, when he posted it right after your previous post 2 pages back. The avatars you guys use are very similar if you just glance at them for an instant, and I assumed the post was from you. Anyhow, that quote is where the confusion stemmed from. Thanks for explaining it. Now the only problem is where to get 16mm prints good enough to transfer.

It's interesting to see the comments that the GOUT may have more horizontal resolution that the DC laserdisk set. If the DC laserdisk master had this level of horizontal resolution all the time, but laserdisks didn't support that much horizontal res, so we've never seen it before, this may be the one area where the GOUT DVD set is actually better than the DC. Will that extra horizontal res from the GOUT be noticeable if one viewed the GOUT set and X0 set side-by-side? If I recall correctly, back when the GOUT set was announced it was noted that the DC laserdisk masters had a full 480 lines of vertical res, more than laserdisk could support. And so for the first time we would get to see the full 480 vertical res of the DC masters on the GOUT DVD set. Did that actually happen? I suppose that was made impossible when they didn't do an anamorphic transfer (needed to see the full 480 lines of res on your t.v.). But certainly the X0 set would have the edge in every other area of image quality.
