LOL, some of you guys really LOVE your LD's to be going through all of them like this, I am 100% with Harmy on this one, I will probably never, ever watch an LD capture again, I definitely will never capture one again, but hey, to each their own right? but to me, I think all these screens that get posted in this thread and others look like shit, especially in motion on a large HDTV screen, I do agree with captainsolo above, the 97 SE LD's do look pretty good, a lot better than all these being posted, except for the pink issue he stated.

I reviewed hairy_hen's 5.1 and decided to compare it to both the original PCM and the 97 mix. So, I popped in my LD's and was surprised at how well the Faces ROTJ held up visually. Nowhere near the V3 or GOUT of course, but still not as bad as you would think.

The 97 image just blows it away. If the GOUT master could look like this without all of that smearing a heck of a lot of things would immediately be better. I've never gone straight from 93/95 to 97 but the jump in quality is readily apparent even on an old 4:3 TV. It just has that pink problem in Mos Eisley...because no official Star Wars release can ever be perfect let alone definitive.
