Thanks for the screenshots.

From glancing over the images, I can say that on the plus side this source doesn't have the huge halos/shadows on vertical edges, or the wobbly horizontal field misalignment that plague my source.

It does however suffer from a severe loss of detail from being too dark and very blurry, and is also more heavily cropped along the bottom.

is it me or is there a little error with the aspect ratio, too? (look at the cap with ben, d3bo and luke)

maybe it's a silly question, but isn't there a possibility, technically speaking, that the two sources could somehow be "merged" together?

 

 The aspect ratio is definitely off.  But that can be corrected.

I was going to say exactly the same thing as bkev: it's both better and worse than the original widescreen version we had.  Certainly better in terms of color and image stability, but worse in terms of clarity.  It looks like what I would see if I wasn't wearing my glasses/contacts while watching the film.

It would be great if these two sources could somehow be merged.  I understand that Laserman had some kind of hardware/software technology - "Black Magic" - that could do something like that.  But apart from that, I don't know if we have any such solution.
