Yeah, more or less. The brightness was kicked up a lot rather than any overall color correction, so the result is some ridiculously grainy dancing blacks that's insanely distracting.

I finally got the Demonoid torrent downloaded this evening, ran the folder over VLC (1024x768 laptop screen with 32bit resolution)....and boy, you aren't kidding. There was an obvious flickering in the starfield after the text crawl (annoying, but willing to forgive) -- but the graininess is horrible. The shot of Vader walking up the corridor after taking the door down; his black cape is just swimming in errant pixels. Followed by Leia loading the card into R2 (pixelation in dark shadows), then 3PO walking through a doorway -- lots and lots of dancing pixels in the flat blacks especially to the right.
What a shame.
