This "pyramid" set HAS to be preserved, as it is the most similar to the theatrical version, as the JSC - but, as it is PAL, *must* have 20% more vertical lines of resolution.

The differences from the THX PAL LDs consists in NO white clipping and absolutely NO DVNR - this last thing is really important.

I know that there are really better sources around, but if they are GOUT based they have white clipping and heavy DVNR for sure, and maybe blacks crushed; the SE has for sure blacks crushed, and it's quite difficult to "cut" all the added CGI to restore original scenes...

I have thought this: take four OUT versions - GOUT PAL DVD in english, THX PAL LD in german, "pyramid" LD in french and THX VHS in italian (just because I want to extract the HIFI audio and need the fourth version) and combine them in a 2x2 grid; then make a side-by-side comparison and choose the better scene either from the THX PAL LD and the "pyramid" LD.

I mean: if in the THX PAL LD the DVNR or the white clipping is evident, choose the "pyramid" scene, else take the THX PAL LD scene - obviously, no GOUT for the reasons explained before.

...if only someone out there will help me to check the scenes... ;-)
