Unfortunately the softness of the image is a feature of the 1995 PAL release. :(
dark_jedi said:LOL, he probably wants to know if you encoded them in 16:9? and Lee the screens look nice, but a little to smooth\soft\blurry not sure what term to use, but a little to much of that for me.
This is correct I have converted the letterboxed 4:3 to anamorphic 16:9. :)
Moth3r said:However, it looks like he has upscaled this to convert to 16:9 anamorphic widescreen (the clue is that the screenshots are 1024 x 576 not 768 x 576).
I will see what I can do. ;)

I'm curious if these French LD's have the same color issues. Also, could you check the asteroid chase in Empire, I'm interested to know if it have the blue colored TIE-lasers the '95 PAL-VHS had. Thanks.
EDIT: I am just watching Empire now to check I am 100% happy with it, and I can confirm the TIEs in the asteroid field have blue lasers. :(
While I am here I just want to repeat/confirm what Moth3r has said before that the 1995 THX PAL release does still suffer from DVNR smear, although not to the same extent as the GOUT. :(
