Well, my version has been done for some time and I'm ready to release it. I really like the quality of your capture, and I think it's ideal for filling in the shots where I used the Encore Extended VHS. I'd like to toss in those shots and burn it off.

One other "would be great" is if there exists a copy of the theatrical (uncut) at better than VHS quality, which is what I've used so far. Most of the added violence I got from a Telemundo capture (apparently Hispanic viewers are less sensitive!) but the nudity, and a few shots like the Deacon offering Enola a smoke came from VHS and it shows. I've considered taking the widescreen DVD and cropping it, but since the VHS is open-matte and has MORE picture, zooming in on the widescreen version leaves out 70% of the original image.

I can't think of a better source than the VHS though, which is ironic considering it's the THEATRICAL cut!
