I'm doing an extended cut which uses a number of broadcasts to include all deleted scenes and scenes which were censored or edited out for content. I'm not using the video from the DVD because it's cropped, and this edit will be 4:3. I'm doing a good deal of cleanup work to get my footage looking as close to the DVD quality as possible.
The Sci-Fi capture looks and sounds great, though I haven't gone through every bit of it yet. It's a little more noisy than the USA and less noisy than the Bravo, with Telemundo (theatrical cut) still being the clear winner in the quality department. We'll see how they compare after noise reduction and color correction, but I'll probably end up using whichever Telemundo shots I have available.
Here's the raw of the everest shot:
