Just saw the most recent sample, the big 4 part video. Wow, way to go, dark_jedi! It looks great on my monitor. The natural film grain was there, which looks the way it should, the detail was good, and I didn't notice any unusual appearance to the characters. I guess it just goes to show that if you carefully restore the video source for the 1993 DC laserdisk set, there's a lot of detail and natural color there, it just has to be made a little easier to see.
To me it looks like an ideal compromise between retaining the natural detail which is present and keeping the grain from being too heavy. The real test will be on an hdtv, so please check that out on your end. The colors look really good, too. And if no way can be found to restore them closer to the film appearance without messing up the flesh tones, then I say just go with this (which I assume is the V3 color correction settings). If you can bring back even more of the color, like the blueness to the Death Star's interior and so on, without causing other problems, then so much the better. Try a few things and see how it turns out before you decide.
Nice Work! :)
