Personally I believe the GOUT looks better than any (DC) LD to DVD transfer to date. The GOUT has more horizontal resolution/detail than the DC LD (which is a limitation of the LD not the mastertape). But the DC LD has more vertical resolution/detail than the GOUT (resolution that must be on the mastertape) so they screwed something up big time (they probably used a vertical blur to mask the jaggies according to Laserman).
