I managed to improve the "white magic" script and now, after days of though tests, it surely looks better than the very first version... let's call it "white magic 0.2" version, OK? It must be refined, but I think the most part of the work is done - I hope so, at least...
Comparison picture - screenshot taken from the test clip: left "white magic 0.2" from Spanish PAL LD, right GOUT PAL DVD enhanced with G-Force script and bilinear resized to match the "white magic 0.2" clip.
I decided to choose this image because is the same of only one the X0Project released - one of the worst scenes found in the GOUT, according to many OT fans.
What do you think? Download the test clips and see them in motion - it's definitively better than still images.

Spanish THX PAL LD captured and treated with "white magic 0.2" at 60% strenght (more is too sharp for my taste):

Sorry if the comparison clip is not perfect - is not that easy to match two halves taken from different masters!
Waiting for your comments, as usual.
