Well, you can tell why they used so much DVNR on the later transfers, the dirt is apparently beyond cool on the IP they must have used on all the 3 releases. I think those 90s video releases might be beyond saving. The 1995 PAL still seems to be the best of the 3. It seems to have a balance between keeping too much dirt and overdoing the DVNR.

You know, DVDNR doesn't necesarily need to be a bad thing, when used carefully. In 1993 the DVNR was something new and actually at the time of it's release the 1993 LD was cosidered really good. I've read a contemporary review of it from some home video magazine and they said that it was the ultimate release to show off your home theater system... And no wonder it seemed like really good picture when watched on a small CRT TV and being compared to a dirty noisy picture of LDs like the JSC...
