Info: DVNR smearing in GOUT not in the master...? Or is the 1995 release a different master altogether...?

PAL-land did not get a 1993 "definitive collection" THX release in any format.

We did however get the 1995 "faces"/"one last time" THX release on LD (France, Germany and Spain only) and VHS. In the US, they used the 1993 master, however a new master was made for the PAL releases. This master has occasionally different framing, less dirt in some shots and the famous burn marks in the Tantive corridor. It still has some DVNR - see the cantina scenes in ANH and the Hoth battle scenes in TESB - but it was probably not applied as aggressively as on the NTSC releases.

The PAL GOUT DVDs were upscaled from the NTSC masters because we got screwed over.
