It's amazing how much something like the GOUT can hold up when treated properly and uprezed. The screens certainly look very promising. :)
It may be too late to consider going back and re-tweaking anything but there were two things that went through my mind just from browsing the past few pages:
-I notice that the BD version is red-biased compared to V3DVD, and also not quite as saturated. Was this intentional or is it just a fluxation caused by the upconversion? The V3 caps look like they have more natural colours in the skintones compared to the BD version caps, although maybe the examples I have seen are just not ideal. I'm not looking at them on a very well caliberated monitor right now, but I can at least see that the colour balances between them are different. Sorry if this was discussed pages earlier.
-Is it possible to apply any amount of mild sharpening either before or after upconversion (I suppose ideally before)? Of course, EE can be a huge problem. It is possible, however, to extract a suprising amount of extra picture detail from the GOUT when the image is sharpened. I don't know if this is possible to do without putting edges on things, but I do think it would help the picture if it can be done, as the script tends to smudge out a noticeable amount of the fine detail in its attempt to smooth out the artifacts. It may counteract the anti-grain filter, or it might not, but it is something to consider.
The film looks good regardless. It's utterly fascinating how one video source--the GOUT--has branched out into all these parallel and shared restorations that tackle the same problems in different and similar ways. No single film has had so much fan attention paid to it. I thought maybe our efforts would plateau around 2008 or 2009, but here we are a half decade after the GOUT came out and we're still finding new ways of improving on it.
