Yeah, yeah, I know.

A friend of mine and occasional OT poster bought me a Definitive Collection laserdisc box, and I'm attempting a rip with my settop. I highly doubt it'll be XØ quality but I don't really care, I still think it'll be better than GOUT. I'm ripping it now to DVD-Rs.

EDIT: I have uploaded a 50 MB VOB containing a quickie test encode of the Greedo scene, IVTC'd, anamorphic'd, with a light temporal cleaner and brightness/contrast adjustment based on the brightness of the subtitles. I don't know if it's better than the GOUT, which is what I hope for, but eh. I'm mainly doing this for myself, but I like to share.

UPDATE: ANH can be found on the usotsuki.info:6969 tracker and mininova as "Star Wars Usovision"
