Wow, this sample looks very nice, and actually holds up to the broadcast version quite well and doesn't have that awful smearing. The IVTC (this does have it right?) and quality looks very nice without losing any of the color saturation. I compared it against my own cap of the LDs on which I didn't do any color work and left things as-is. It stays true to the source.

D_J, out of curiosity what was your workflow in doing this cap? It looks very nice and destroys the 16:9 one I did in FCP and Compressor.

I did a quick screencap of all the 97s I have on my HD and one of Ady's color corrected for comparison:

Hmm... that's interesting. The sharpness found on the broadcast is rather nice. It's most apparent on the folds and wrinkles in Leia's gown. Also there seems to be more visual detail on the sides (see the right side in this shot). DJ's looks cropped, is that a LD thing?

I'd still be quite happy watching something like what DJ has presented though
