Well, when I say inherent to the GOUT, I mean the master used to make the GOUT. So the Definitive Collection and "Faces" laserdiscs have the smearing, too.

And the 1977 crawl on the GOUT DVD was transferred separately from the rest, so it - and, by extension, the first shot - looks substantially nicer than the rest of the film.

Well then, I'd guess that would mean my Pioneer DVL-90 does a fairly nice job of keeping that stuff tame as I don't remember noticing it like I did here.

Sounds like DJ's V3 has this set beat.

I believe you're missing the point sky, this thread wasn't designed to be a competition against DJ's set.....this set is a stand alone and never was intended to compete against anything or anyone.
