You mean they pulled a dr.gonzo/cowclopsv2 when they made it?

This is something I've long suspected, and if it's true that means it's another nail in the "we'll never see the OOT restored/remastered" coffin. Is there any proof of this, like softness or a "blowed up" look, etc?

When thedigitalbits broke the non-anamorphic news in May of '06 they said they were pretty sure the footage from EoD was filmprint-sourced, although their only logic was that it probably couldn't have come from anywhere else and still be in anamorphic video. That said, if one of the earlier laserdisc releases did in fact use the original subs it opens up the possibility that the EoD footage was not filmprint-sourced. I guess it all depends on how you interpret Kevin Burns' line from the '04 press junket that they "were granted Papal dispensation to go back and use the footage from the pre-SE release .... but I will say what was shocking was that those scenes .... in our minds eye they looked a lot better than they do when you go back and revisit them and you do see how the quality of the print (or) - the quality of the negative really doesn't hold up the way you think it might, so you kind of understand why things have been revised and digitally restored."
