This could be implemented if the US version, the Jap version and the Gout could be lined up. Too bad it will be much harder to get the old version (Pre DC) together because of a problem with the Jsc master where Us discs got a shrinking aspect ratio at the end of the movies.
However i will try to do several runs of capturing the Japan made Jsc (to average out any lost detail) before starting the post processing on the DC Since some have asked for the raw capture of that to work on it.
This is really exciting to me. This is exactly what the X0 Project was doing and the results were fabulous.
Chainsaw Ash: The X0 used a process called "Blackmagic", but it is different from the software of the same name, as far as I can tell. Basically, Laserman had professional hardware and then wrote a custom script to run through Shake compositing software to run multiple passes. From the one example posted, it appeared to be the Japanese Special Collection cleaned up with passes from other captures, possibly multiples of the same set and possibly with his further cleanup. Laserman was terminally ill at the time, and on the estimates of his doctors only had a few years to live. He was in and out of the hospital all the time, so he would disappear for like 4 months and then come back to announce he was still with us, but he wasn't exactly in a state of be working on this. No one has heard from him in about 4 years, so it is my belief that he has sadly been dead for a long time now...
