Hi everyone, I have some good news and some bad news.

The good news is that I have captured 3/4 of the Coffret ROTJ, that just leaves the last side plus any VHS footage.

The bad news is there will probably be a 1-2 week delay in this set being finished. The reason for this is that I was watching my ANH DVD this week and I realised the picture looked overly dark and washed out, when I went back to the original captures it is clear from looking at them in a histogram and vector-scope that I need to colour correct the black/white/saturation levels. I have done this now however it will take about 48 hours per film to re-render the video hence the delay.

I plan to carry on with ROTJ and get that finished (I will colour correct this as I work on it) then I will go back and fix the other two. Clearly my hands off approach to filtering was too hands off!
