Big yes.  Selling his edits as well as those of other editors.

Yep, I bought one from'm. Didn't cost much but I should've known better.

Anyway, I watched parts of DJ's V3 and EditDroid again, and seem to understand what's going on here. ED is a lot sharper but frankly too sharp in a lot of places - look at the scrolling text and LFL logo for example. Also, because of this extra sharpness, there are these distracting 'fake grain' thingamabobs all over the place, in almost every scene. (Well zombie seems to think they're real but I don't think I've ever seen grain like this. Oh, and the dark levels I was complaining about seems to be due to a miscalibrated TV; ED was still darker but not absurdly so.) I think most ppl, myself included, would pay in sharpness for not having to deal with distracting artifacts like that, but I wish there was some in-between version. Maybe a blend is in order? Not sure how to do that...

Relevance to this set - seems to me both of these do the credits better. I don't know if this is inherent to 720p upscaling or because mattman's upscale really is that different from the other two for text.
