The difference in smearing is not that huge. The 4-eyed stormtrooper may be better, but other scenes are just as bad as the NTSC version. I'll dig out my DVD.

Well, those pics from the PAL transfer of the landspeeder and Luke in Ben's hut seems also to be nearly unaffected by the smear, are the scenes with Artoo in the Canyon, the Cantina and when Luke gazes at the twin suns really as bad as the NTSC version?

I now have another player to test, and a few other ideas for improvement. I've learned a fair bit in the last 5 years... just wish I had more time to play with this stuff.

I'd love to see a second version from you, your first version looks quite good from just looking at those pics. I hope you find some time to attempt it someday.
