However, I've given up on the GOUT discs for the time being. Yes the picture is more detailed than the laserdiscs, but I find the aliasing (or side effects from anti-aliasing filtering) and DVNR motion smearing is more noticeable. I think I could live with a softer image that didn't have these distracting defects.
I'll probably be taking a look at laserdisc sources in the future. I think a hybrid of the French THX discs (more vertical detail and less telecine wobble than the DC) and the US pre-THX special widescreen edition (can't afford the JSC discs) is on the cards. But that's a different topic...
