... just to check I did test the output from the Composite against the S-Video and found the S-video to give a slightly less noisy and slightly sharper image, so I went with this.

Do you still have those test images? Would be interesting to see.

Here are some frames from the ROTJ Master which is the original capture, edited, filtered (de-interlace, colour correction, noise reduction) and cropped using the Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) codec. this file weighs in at about 50GB.

There is no need to deinterlace.

I have moved the snapshots to an external server so they should load as quickly as possible now, if they are still slow its because they are between .25 and .5 of a MB in size.

Ahem. Does your school know you are abusing their bandwidth during the summer holidays? ;-)

I just wanted to mention that the colour correction filter I am using is only doing some very basic things, restoring blacks, fixing washed out colour, nothing to fundamentally alter the '97 SE look.

I think the black may have been "restored" a little too much - the shots look pretty dark. Otherwise (apart from the timecode and logo of course) the images look promising.
